    Problems Getting Tiles to Work in SteamBand

    i have downloaded the game from the official site and it works fine, but when i go to enable the tiles, they do not activate, they stay greyed out.
    is there anyone who has a copy that has graphics that works and can help me out?
    thanks

    Steamband has no graphics support. (That would be easy, but it would need a whole bunch of new tiles--hard.)

      I remember once Courtney Campbell saying he was strongly agaist playing roguelikes with graphics, and he deliberately took out support for them.

      I don't remember if that was on a forum, newsgroup, or in an e-mail between us, but I do remember the Steamband code doesn't support graphics of any kind.

        Maybe if we came up with a way to do steam powered graphics..

          I'm strongly against me playing roguelikes with graphics - I don't care what anyone else does

            I beleive he deleted all the code that supports graphics, or at least he said he intended to.

              Just as long as the game never winds up on Steam...
