Angband 64 x 64 pixel tileset

Beautiful

Just breathtaking. You are endangering a whole generation of diehard ASCII players ... definitely time to port the restricted view options from FA so we can play with these on normal-size monitors ...

Pity I've just ripped it out.

Never mind, I'm planning to put it back in...

Those options are for girls (and handheld devices)... play like a man!

I´d be happy if Angband had PNG support, that would def make my day

It's been on the to-do list for about four years (http://trac.rephial.org/ticket/136) ... maybe we just need to prioritise it a little for you ...

I am all in for that, 64x64 tilesize support would also be much appreciated if you are looking to add png support

Well, sadly none of the currently active devs are familiar with libpng, but as takk said right at the start of your work, 64x64 tile support doesn't need to wait for that. I'm expecting Nick to enable it in a drive-by commit any week now ...

I'll add it to my hit-list

Seiously, though, no. Well, it gets added into the "I'm never really going to get to this" part of the list. Or it would if I had a list.

If you don't have PNG support for 64x64 tiles by 15 April 2012, I'll resign my maintainership...

d_m made it possible to use 64x64 here earlier:

"Hey Shockbolt!

I have built a version of Angband that has a 64x64 tileset called Shockbolt. But right now it's just the David Gervais 32x32 tiles upsampled to 64x64.

You can download it at http://plastic-idolatry.com/angband-shockbolt.zip

When you unzip it, there will be a lib directory. You want to look for the 64x64.bmp and mask64.bmp files, and change those to be what you want. Angband doesn't support PNG on Windows yet, so you'll have to use the mask to simulate transparency. Sorry "

But as he wrote, no PNG yet. I don´t want to go through the trouble of masking the tiles, that would´ve been alot easier if they were pixelart and not photoshop 64x64 paintings.

Yikes, I hope I don´t have to wait a whole year for that...

Alrighty, I've managed to re-link most of the images to my past posts in this thread, missing two of them, having a look around to see if they still exist.

I think this is cool but I think you should rework the floor tiles to be less obvious where the tiling is taking place. Just a thought.

Another idea... For every creature maybe also a frame of it being torn apart (like for a death blow to it)... might be easy to just cut it in photoshop a few places, seperate and add whatever blood and guts it might have real fast... it'll only show for a split second anyway before you wipe it off the screen.

Just some thoughts.

The floor tile seen in the first examples posted in this thread is just one of many possible floor tiles already made.
