Fixed Guybrush's 'O' engraving transparency color. (Thanks LucasUP)
Reduced the intensity of the liquid/sand tile.
Brightened the background texture of underground mushroom tiles a bit.
I 'improved' the solid layer tiles a little bit. They should be easier to tell apart from ground tiles now.

*Updated* v1.7.1
The default tileset now uses the old dithering style for stone tiles. The new graphic style is still available as Phoebus_16x16_Solid.bmp and  Phoebus_16x16_Guybrush_Solid.bmp .
The "Dwarf Fortress Savegame RAW Updater" batch utility has been added to both full packages. Run df_savegame_updater.bat to use it.
A Unit Pack with fully transparent background has been added to the list of download.

v1.6.4
Fixed the Guybrush tileset.
Fixed the Magnut new underground creatures tiles.
Fixed the default human unit tile.
Darkened the color of obsidian.
Added Slade to the list of special ores. (Slade & Adamantium are the best ores. Obsidian is volcanic and the most valuable stone. Kimberlite & Bauxite can contain the best gems.)

v1.6.3
Added Magnut Graphic Pack to the set of units.
Changed wall ends so they look less... weird.
Changed the stockpile to RantingRodent's design.
Added a background behind mined ore.
Reduced the brightness of ground details by 20%.


v1.6.2
Updated to the new DF v0.31.03
Humans: Specialist professions were missing icons, so they have been assigned their respective generic professions' icons.
Tileset: Minor changes to door and hatches.

v1.6.1
Added separate downloads for the RAWs, INIT & Tileset. (For those people that don't like getting their init trampled over. Like me.)
Merged 4 changes from Greenbane's fork. Improved beds, chests, logs and channeling icon.

Upgraded to the new DF v0.31.02
Numbers now have the standard background. Changed the init so water displays dept by default.
Changed the graphics of a few plants
Changed the 'graphics' of a few vermins

v1.5.3
Tileset update:
Improved ground tiles and smoothed floors.
Added background texture to water/sand tiles and river/road tiles.

New Tileset (Left) Versus Old Tileset (Right)

Added Giant Leopard & Giant Jaguar graphics.
Modified the init.txt so the starting windowed resolution is 1280x800, and seasonal backups are now enabled by default.

New Medics (wider armbands, teal uniforms & headbands):


v1.5
Graphical Upgrades:
All units now have a ground backdrop. (except vermins)
Medics no longer wear a cap; they now wear their redcross on an armband. (Sphr's vision.)

v1.4.2
Bug fix: The packages will now automatically override the example unit tileset that comes with v0.31.01.

v1.4.1
Removed the moss from the horizontal wall. (If you don't like it, blame FatedTemp. )
Activated DF2010's new version of GUARDs and ROYALGUARDs. (New tags found by Skie.)
Fixed bugs in the language pack. (With the help of Skie.)
Fixed mineral values that I missed the first time. (Bug found by Ilmoran.)

v1.4
Bug fixes:
Restored the mineral values! (applying the patch on your old games will fix the problem.)
The unit graphics can now be installed directly in base raws. Updating old games will still require individual patching.

Changes:
Added the 5th new medic profession (the generic one): Doctor
Many more tiles now have backgrounds.
I've replaced the shrub tile.
I've replaced the underground shrub tile.
I've improved the smoothed/engraved ground floor tile.



v1.3.1
Added a ground texture to the soil and wall tiles.

v1.3
Added medics to the Unit Graphic Pack.


Surgeon. Diagnoser. Bone Setter. Suturer. (all zoomed x4)

v1.2.1
The tileset's dwarf icons, used as placeholder for the new professions, have been changed to nice generic looking dwarves.
This way dwarves of new professions (for players without unit packs, that's all dwarves) will have nicer tile instead of previous corpse tile.

v1.2
Fixed a transparency issue with the cage tile from the tileset.

v1.1
To fix a bug with the unit graphic support, I've split the package in two parts, the core and the graphics.
I've also did some minor changes to the tileset.

The tileset uses a reforged version of RantingRodent's mineral chart system.
I removed the tiles for Adamantium, Obsidian, Bauxite & Kimberlite and replaced them with a single 'Special' tile. (Double Ore Symbols)
I have reforged the fuel ore tile with a bright flame.
I've also added a new tile for Gypsum ores.
The background has also been reforged.
The walls have been reforged, the diagonals are one pixel wider than similar styled walls.
The walls are textured, and I've re-used greenery on the horizontal wall (farming).

Spoiler: Credits and Thanks (click to show/hide)

Out of all the tiles in the graphic pack only two have been completely created by me.
I could not have created this graphic pack without the help of these artists:

Units:
Sphr is to thank for the vast majority of the units. Dwarves, Humans, Elves, Goblins, Kobolds, large mountain & riverlake creatures, monsters, subterranean creatures and several wildlife creatures.
Bane has created tiles for the majority of normal animals in the game. Amongst the 49 creatures we can find dogs, crocodiles, gorillas and tigers.
Magnut has created the tiles for the new v0.31 underground creatures. Examples: cave blobs, cave dragon, green devourer and magma crabs.
Deep Quantas is to thank for the old elves. Those elves are no longer used but are still packaged with the graphic pack release.

Fonts:
I'm using fonts from Martin, Guybrush, Bisasam and Phssthpok.

Tileset:
RantingRodent is the source of the mineral tiles used in this set, both symbolic and graphic mineral tiles. He's also the source of the accent removal mod that I use to free more tiles to use as mineral tiles, plants and vermins.
Hermano's tileset was the inspiration that made me start my own tileset, it's also the base of my tileset. The tiles that I'm still using from is set are many: Most trees, most vermins, most furniture & containers, most jewelry & crafts, prepared food, adventurer tile, traps, mechanisms, cloth, blade trap, anvil, thread, crossbow, hill icon, weapon rack & a few more.
From DrD_AVEL's Gold Plated tileset I've taken: most plants, the walls, doors and hatches, river & road tiles, armor rack, ropes & logs, palm trees, the body part tile & the spider.
From Darkond's Dig Deeper tileset I've taken: boulders, clothing icon, dimple cup icon, sweet pod icon, withered plant icon, tree top icon & lever icons.
From Isenhertz's tileset I've taken the shrub icon.

And my Special Thanks goes to:
Skie, he has been very helpful in finding problems with the tileset and helping me fix them.
Greenbane, he has been giving me a good quality of feedback and suggestions.
And Deon for reminding me to create this section.

Spoiler: F.A.Q.s (click to show/hide)

Q: The walls are looking like floors, most of my dwarves look the same, the creatures have no graphics, what's going on?
A: DF v0.31.01 saves a copy of the graphics and object definitions with each game.
Those infos are copied from the main game at World Generation.
If you generated a world before installing this mod (or before this version), you will need to manually copy those new graphics over your savegame's old copies.
Copy the raws from /DF_31_01/raw/ to /DF_31_01/data/save/SAVEDGAMENAME/raw/

Q: Everything looks fine but the dwarves, all dwarves beside the miners and medics are ugly, what should I do?
DF v0.31.01 comes with a example graphical mod installed by default.
The miner you see is from that example graphical mod.
That mod is conflicting with the new dwarf graphics.
Delete the files /DF_31_01/raw/graphics/graphics_example.txt and /DF_31_01/data/save/SAVEDGAMENAME/raw/graphics/graphics_example.txt
That'll enable the improved dwarf graphics, in your current and future games.

Q: I'd like to change the resolution, or play fullscreen, how can I do that?
Open the file /DF_31_01/data/init/init.txt
Change the [WINDOWED:YES] to [WINDOWED:NO] to play fullscreen, or [WINDOWED:PROMPT] to get the choice between windowed and fullscreen everytime you start the game. You can switch between windowed and fullscreen, ingame, by pressing the F11 button.

To change the resolution, edit those lines to the values you would like:
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280] Width
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:800] Height
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280] Width
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:800] Height

Then set these values to exactly 1/16 of the values you set above.
[GRID:80:50]
[FULLGRID:80:50]

An higher quality version (with alpha transparency) will be released when alpha transparency support is merged in v0.31.

--------------------------------------

Strongly Advised (but optional) init.txt changes: (included in the provided init.txt file)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You should change the sky tiles to these settings: (found in the init.txt file)
[SKY:255:7:0:1]
[CHASM:255:0:0:1]

I suggest using this color palette. It has improved visibility and the color brown!
Replace this at the end of the init.txt file:

[Meanmelter]

The ACSII graphic's are not so bad, it is the size, it is so small to see, I am used to a gigantic screen, not a 300x400 or whatever it is

[Phoebus]

Hmm, you are right, I should probably reforge the whole thing in 32x32, but not before zooming has been merged back into DF 2010.

Would a 32x32 tileset even work when combined with 16x16 graphic sets?

[HexagonalBolts]

Does the 'full package' include the game, and not require any installation?

[FatedTemp]

Would a 32x32 tileset even work when combined with 16x16 graphic sets?

The d# series worked like this, it resized your graphics to fit the tiles (I made a couple of oversized tile/graphics sets for myself) so once the merge is finished you should be able to start messing about with that.

No it does not... it's only 253k.
I'll make a full package with the executables.

Nice!
Does the game blurs perfect conversions like 16x16 -> 32x32 or does it upscales every pixel to an exact 2x2 pixel?

There you go!

Link to the preinstalled package (with Dwarf Fortress v0.31.01):

Edit: Removed obsolete link.

[NW_Kohaku]

How do you get alpha transparency to work?  My .png files didn't work, and only produced a black screen for me.

[Repulsion]

Just downloaded the Preinstalled package. Checking it soon.

[Cr9]

31.01 has no PNG support. That was a 40d# feature and will come with the merge.

It's magenta-backed BMPs for now, lads.

[Repulsion]

 Huh, when I try to load the Arena in the prepackaged download, it gets a runtime or something like that error. 

[xoen]

Very impressive for some reason, these dwarves are well-drawn and clean, imho.
Preinstalled package returns runtime error, though.
Manual merging is giving same error too,
after mixing it with df2010 containing maydays betapack and init edit for your tileset game's working fine..hmm.

Anyway, good luck with project.

[Phoebus]

How do you get alpha transparency to work?  My .png files didn't work, and only produced a black screen for me.

Dwarf Fortress v0.31.01 does not currently supports PNG and alpha transparency.
We have to fall back on BMPs for the moment.

I've first made this tileset for 40d# and alpha transparency, and had to convert it back to BMP.
The PNG will be ready the moment v0.31 is merged with v0.28.181.40d#.

Huh, when I try to load the Arena in the prepackaged download, it gets a runtime or something like that error. 

I believe that's a bug with the new version. The arena and graphic mods don't go well together.

Thanks a lot.

That bug is really strange, I guess such things are to be excepted until we get a more stable release.

[Grub]

um, I went into arena mode with the prepackaged installation and made a dwarf in arena mode.
the dwarf I created is walking around as a pile of bones. this can't be right.

[Grub]

and yeah, trying to generate a world also creates a runtime error.
