best tileset
« on: July 30, 2010, 12:57:01 am »
for the ascii tilesets. Is there a way built in to the game to make them square? or do I have to download some mod? and if so, please let me know how.

if you properly adjust your settings in the init files, then you SHOULD be able to get perfectly square acii characters. Failing that, just play in windowed mode =P

theres a setting in the init file to square everything off.  There are some other cool options in there that you should check out.

I'm fond of kelora.
It's a good legible tileset with guybrush & flying mage's dwarfs

In data/init.txt look for the setting FONT or FULLFONT depending whether you play full screen or not and change the default curses_800x600.png to curses_square_16x16.png; otherwise you have to download a new tile set into the art folder and change the FONT setting to the new tileset.
