Hi. First post. Newbie looking for graphics.

[Oathbreaker]

I played Rogue waaaaaaay back in the day on the first IBM we got after the C64.

Love the idea of Angband. Don't so much like the graphics. Was wondering if there was a simple, easy way to get some even remotely updated graphics.

I use a 5-year-old iMac running 10.6.8 and don't have much experience coding/editing.

I saw the thread http://angband.oook.cz/forum/showthr...light=graphics which looks pretty darn nice to me, but are there "finished products" out there that I can just plug and play?

Thank you.

Currently, the best (highest-res) graphic set available is the 32x32 tiles that are packaged with Vanilla. If you're looking for something better, you're out of luck.

How do I display the tiles? (On Linux)

Which display module are you using? (the answer will be one of gcu, gtk, sdl or x11)

[artes]

I've no idea. Maybe gcu or x11 since both of the following commands can start the game:
src/angband -g -mx11
src/angband -g -mgcu
while similar commands doesn't work with sdl and gtk. They don't display any tiles though.

You should just be able to select one of the tile sets under the Appearance menu on the menu bar. I'm still on 3.1.2 though so maybe that's not available in the newer OSX versions.

Only GTK and SDL can support tiles on Linux. They are not selected via -g, but rather by starting the game and using the appropriate menu items.

X11 used to be able to do tiles but the code was removed when Angband was becoming GPL-clean (because the author either couldn't be contacted or wouldn't agree to GPL).

Sorry artes - looks like you have a version which has not built the two display modules which support tiles. If you want to build it again, try:

make distclean
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-sdl
make

That will provide you with a version which supports the -msdl switch. Then you can choose graphical tiles once you're in the SDL interface.

Thank you very much, magnate. The graphics works now and it looks great.

Why would you want graphics?

roguelike = ascii all the way!
