Hello all! 

I'm an utter newb to DF, and thus, am using the LNP. It's very useful so far, but I seem to be having some trouble with installing new tiles/graphics.

For example, I tried installing Taffer's graphics set, and LNP complained that the file "d_init.txt" was missing from the pack. I copied it from another graphics pack (not sure I should've done that), which allowed it to install properly, but then starting DF gave me the message that "mouse.png" was missing, and crashed. Then I tried to install a basic tileset (not graphics pack) manually, rather than through LNP's installer gui, and I got the same "mouse.png" message. At this point I thought I'd come ask around here to avoid further breaking my game.

So basically, here's my question: What is the process for installing new tilesets/graphic sets that aren't comprised of the same files/folders as the included graphics sets? I'm sure there's a simple answer for this and I'm just being thick, but I really am a noob and I would really like some guidance here. 

Thanks in advance for helping out an aspiring DF player!

Best way to install is to duplicate one of the ASCII folders in LNP/graphics, and extract the 'raw' and 'data' folders from taffer.zip overwriting any duplicates.

Thank you! This appears to have worked quite nicely. Knew it would be something simple.
