What tileset do you usually use for playing? :D

[Abbysynth]

I always play with vanilla ascii, both for Cata and DF.

[jinzaditen]

Retrodays, I’ve gotten too used to it, haha.

Lots of you use Ascii,wow O.O for me the only problem with ascii is that the font dimensions are too small xD

with windows sdl / linux sdl builds you can directly set font size, width, height via fonts.json file (look for it in the config subfolder, open with plain text editor). helps squarefy any font =)

with windows terminal build use the same fonts.json config file, however only some of the settings will work afaik.

with linux curses build only terminal settings work, no use editing fonts.json, so need to find a decent square-ish font that looks interesting enough while remaining readable. speculum works for me under linux (fo rsome reason it looks ugly under windows).

for me only ascii is nice too but its not square i commonly try to interact with things what are 2 tiles away

EDIT: i gonna try this guitde from tivasyk maybe this will fix my problems

Uhhhhhh,thanks man -

[BigLie]

None. ASCII is just fine.
Though I used to play with tiles enabled, I don’t remember which one tileset exactly.

RetroDays10px. It’s not as “clean” as ASCII - I often find myself squinting to find the lone zombie or copbot that is supposed to be on my screen - but there are no square ASCII fonts I like and I eventually decided that having a square window was worth the trade.

Glorious ASCII.

[Arek_PL]

reconfigured size of titles in ascii
now its awesome i see more features what are not in titles
preformance is far better and no missing titles

An old eeePC with Linux Lubuntu 13.04, ASCII with Topaz 8 font (square, i just can’t enjoy playing with non square font). It’s not very fancy but it’s readable. When i will get my “normal computer” i will try tilesets. Cataclysm DDA is one of the very few games i can play ASCII, it’s very clean and straight, according to my tastes.

topaz-8 must look good, but it’s not square =(

[quote=“Sean Mirrsen, post:22, topic:7601”]Because I’ll never tire of shamelessly plugging the feature, the latest experimentals now allow a separate font for the overmap.

And yes, I play with ASCII. Mostly tilesets scavenged from Dwarf Fortress, with minor alterations in places.

Standard 8x12 curses font for text, 18x18 resized curses for main window, and a custom 13x13 font for the map.[/quote]

I really like how this looks.

Only fonts?

It’s the map tileset cata deserves, but not the one it supports right now.
(Some tiles look weird, sadly the F is used for more stuff, not only the Forest tile (wich does not let me make trees) and i can’t tell what i am looking at because there is no selector. Why? idk.)
Yeah, sadly it got quite a few bugs. And i did not even tried notes yet, wich will destroy my hopes.

However, it’s a bit fun to try. You perfectly can with this and the update!

[Loendal]

I started getting the Experimental builds and using them to get ahold of MShock’s tileset(s). MShock32 is what I’m currently using

[Chaz]

Right now I’m using the RetroDays20 tileset, but I might take a peek at your tileset in the future, StopSignal! It looks pretty neat

I’ve been sorta drifting to and fro between various graphics, trying to find something that gives a good combination of easy visibility (For people who might want to watch me do more Cata recordings) and the ability to quickly distinguish creatures in a pinch (As I’m still used to mostly ASCII), while still being square rather than rectangular.

Thanks a lot! Flattered person here!
As any person developing something, i am much obligued to tell that there is a big update soon! No creatures, mostly terrain. Anyways, it will be huge compared to the others.

As i am developing my own, there is no need to tell which tileset i use. But before that i enjoyed RetroDays a lot, and in the first days, i always used Hoder’s, mostly because the pc looked rad.

[gcaliber]

I don’t use any tileset because I don’t need it and the game runs 10x slower for me with one.
