1.1.3 Client and graphics

Post by Billsey » Tue 05.01.2010, 07:20

It seems to me that when I choose graphics mode, and the David Gervais tiles, I should see 32x32 tiles on my screen. Instead I see tiles that have been stretched (read that shrunk) to fit one of the standard font sizes. Should square tiles be displayed square, with the choice being 32x32, 16x16 or 8x8?

Vanilla Angband does the same: tiles are StretchBlt-ed (see main-win.c).
Currently, I am working on reimplementing Vanilla's "bigtile" mode, which doubles the tile size on the horizontal axis. It should give a better feeling to the graphical tiles. However, I need to tackle some difficult issues with that mode: transparency management, different panel size, looking command...

Found the workaround... If you take any of the font files (I used the 12x24 file), make a copy of it and rename the copy to the size you wish, the tiles are shown correctly. I find that a 16x32.FON filename gives me a nicely sized window with the tiles displayed as I'd hope.
