#Nethack tileset eviant art update
The high quality update coming later this year is still ongoing and still coming and falls outside of the context of this post, that will be an additional, modern, & optional upgrade. We will be beginning work on this immediately and tile replacements will be coming during the course of other updates. This is, in fact, a large part of why Vulture made an appearance on Steam - to help fund this progressive update to even the Community Edition. We would like to thank those of you that pointed this out and encourage others to please report any images or tiles you may find within this project to us via our support lines so that we can expedite the replacement of any offending images to always been our intention to eventually replace the entire Community Edition tile collection with more consistent art, created specifically for this project. It's been pointed out to us that some of these tiles were, without our knowledge, originally taken from other sources to be used within Absurd, which we in turn, in good faith and having asked permission from the Absurd creator, then re-used within the Vulture project.Īlthough in some cases this is okay, public domain pop culture references, in other cases it's not.ĭarkArts Studios, and the Vulture team, take licenses and copyright incredibly seriously.įor this reason we will be replacing those tiles soon & will keep you updated on this thread about progress in that regard. One large update included, after having gained permission from the creator, several tiles from the Absurd Tileset. The history of Vulture, as a project, has it's roots deep within the open source community and most tiles have been donated, from time to time, by various community members in an ever ongoing and progressive improvement of the visuals as a whole. This is for use by tileset authors, who can then fill in the missing tiles.It has been drawn to our attention that some of the tiles being used in the community edition are modified tiles from other sources. The tile for the darkened portion of a floor is created by halving the luminance of the existing floor tile.Įight other tiles are filled in with a placeholder, which appears as a solid red tile with a black X through it. The number of scroll appearances increases from 25 to 41 tile2360.py repeats the first 16 scroll tiles to make 41. To give better results with tilesets that do not use black backgrounds, the tile is compared to the floor tile a pixel that is different from the floor is converted. Monster tiles are converted to grayscale to form statue tiles. The output file name just adds "-360" before the ".bmp" suffix, unless the command line specifies a different name. Most tilesets convert without needing any options the program assumes that the image contains 40 tiles per row and that tiles are square, unless the tile size is given. tile2360.py -h for a complete list of options. Windows users can run this with ActiveState Python.
#Nethack tileset eviant art install
If you have a Mac or Linux, you probably already have Python (or can install it with your package manager). Here is a Python program that will take a NetHack 3.4.3 tileset in BMP format and convert it to a form usable with 3.6.0. NetHack tileset converter for version 3.6.0
