Correct me if Im wrong but, it should be "possible" to compile crawl on any linux distro, the only variable is how much work you have to do to make it work.
That said, I have no problem compiling crawl with tiles on my Arch Linux box. If you give me the output of make, i'll take a look.

I don't think a digging ability is a good idea, the dungeon shouldn't be too modifiable (the dig spell is problematic enough).
However a dwarf race with passive "sense gold" would be cool.

Edit: Ah ha! First.

Maybe drop the bubbles angle and try instead to make the walls look like a single homogeneous mass of slime. Slime oozing out of the wall could look great IMO. Thanks for the ideas, I think you guys are on the right track. Sudden RL stuff takes most of my time at the moment, so I probably won't be ...

de-grid is a must! And more variations. Otherwise, very good! Right now slime walls are just recoloured orcish mine/lair walls. Yeah, I think it will be tough to make a de-grided version of the current big-smooth-slimy-stone concept. The thing with de-griding tiles is that whenever a tile ends and ...

I was thinking of making a new set of wall tiles for slime, to give the branch a more slimy feel (it's also good since the walls in slime has corroding properties). So far I have made a mock-up with two variations of a wall tile: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2763964/slimywallmockup.png Remember that this...

Yep gimp is great (although it takes some time to get past the interface), It's what I've used for all the tiles I've submitted. To check the color in gimp: select the color with the "color picker tool" and double click on the active color on the toolbox. The select by color tool in gimp i...

Ah, how did I miss this thread? Oh well, I know you said that you changed your mind about the request, but since I felt like it I made a tile anyway, I hope you don't mind. Before anyone asks, yes it is meant to look a bit like the suit Samus from the Metroid series wears. I think crawl could do wit...

Very, very good!
The only thing i can think of is the face. It's a little hard to make out the features of the face.
If you make the eyes and mouth larger I think the tile would be even better.

I would love to see this tile in-game.
Good Job!

You don't think your cat could beat 19 ogres in close quarters combat?
Clearly your cat has not trained enough.

Ah, yes thats right.

Transparent shadows would be great! But before you do that, remember that that the player.png is generated from all the small files. This is good, it makes it easier to change individual tiles. If you want a permanent change you should change all the individual files. Since the big file will be over...

Awesome!
Huge improvements on both tiles.
I really like the shark tile.

Glad you found it helpful.
Ah, I didn't look up how jumpers look, but now I see that you are right about the legs and the abdomen.

Good luck!

That was trickier than I thought, Its not easy to get the legs right.:) When I was shading the spider I found a few more things I could improve, so I made those changes too. This is what I did: ⋅ Made the legs thinner. ⋅ Made the back slightly larger. ⋅ Cleaned edges of...

Both of them are very good!
They need more shading though, both look a little flat.

Good job!

Don't have much time right now so this will be brief: I think 7 levels are enough, we could spread them out more if we think its necessary. (like -45%, -30% -15% +0%, 15%, 30%, 45%). Why would we need more levels? less levels are cleaner, the differences should be significant. Also by using the muta...

Thank you zasvid! But our rune is in another branch!

Ah, one more thing.
It's important when you make islands or enclosed rooms that you include a way to escape, such as an escape hatch. The players must not be able to trap themselves in an enclosed space.
Starving to death because of a vault is not fun.

Don't be discouraged! If we think that that there is too many of that kind of vault (I don't) we could always lower the weight of those vaults. Also I don't think that that square edges on water and lava is unpleasant, it just gives the vault a different feel. If something is symmetric or rectangula...

This thread made me realize that racial hp gain is much less important than fightin aptitude when it comes to mid/late-game max hp. Right now when you want to chose a race with "much hp" you search out the ones with the best fighting aptitudes, not the best racial hp gain. This is counteri...

Not sure if you wanted feedback, but oh well, here goes. I have two concern regarding your tiles: First off as Eino says, too many colors are used, this is true for all but the purple set. One would think that using fewer colors is harder, but it actually isn't, (IMO) using less colors makes it easi...

Hmmm, the strange thing is that I made the mockups by compiling the game with my floor tiles and then take a screenshot in-game.
I can't really see why the game would suddenly start to react differently to the tiles.

Read the syntax and introduction files in crawldir/docs/develop/levels and you should be set. Every vault and sprint map in the game is in crawldir/source/dat/des/ look at them if you want some examples. Making vaults is great fun, I've made some sewer maps that recently got added to trunk. If you w...

Glad you like it

.
But when I play on trunk the darkest shades of green on the floor becomes black, am I the only one with this problem? (the files in rltiles looks exactly like the ones I submitted)

Haha, thanks, glad you like it. I forgot to mention it here but I have submitted a proposal to the tracker, you can view the latest version here: https://crawl.develz.org/mantis/view.php?id=3273 . @Curio: Hmm grass patches, that could work, I might do it provided I get some spare time (which unfortu...

You could also change monster speech, make Sigmund whisper some words of love, before he turns invis and proceed to slaughter you and your girlfriend.
A heart shaped entry vault would be easy to make and hard to miss.

Good luck!

I've got som work in progress I'd like to show off:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2763964/new_lair1.png

Comments and criticism are highly appreciated.

Is it too gray?
Got any ideas?

The gods are not as game defining as the races and when you reach to the temple you get to read about the gods and make a informed decision. Many combos would be overpowered (such as troll mummy) and to balance that we would have to make special exceptions and special exceptions are hard to make tra...

I agree with coolio, new unique races is good, ~60 new races that are only slightly diffrent from our current races will just clutter up the character creation process and be confusing to new players. Another problem is that you will have very little control over this system many will be brokenly go...

I would like this race to be the go-to guy when it comes to armored spellcasting. So I would say no to natural AC but yes to most armor slots open.

When I read dpeg's walking mode idea, I got an idea of my own. Consider this: Every turn you do not move (that is your char doesn't change position) Your roots will grow deeper into the ground of that tile, whether you want it or not. (you can think of it as a mutation that grows when you stand stil...

Great to hear that you agree with me, I thought I should drop by and tell you that I have started to work on the tiles.:) Thanks for all the support! @coolio: Yeah, I agree that the walls could use some polishing, but I'll do one thing at a time, floor tiles are hard as it is.:P But speaking of wall...

Vaults!
Uniques!
Artifacts!

And best of all: permadeath and really f**king dangerous situations, the thrill of the moment is awesome!

The current lair floor tiles are very bright green, with a hint of dark red. I think that it would be more clear and easier on the eye (and look better) if we made the floor all gray-green. It would also widen the contrast between the plants/trees and the floor. Basicly I think the floor is taking u...

Thanks! @dpeg Orbs of fire was definitely the biggest threat in zot:5 the only source of resist mutation I had was an amulet, while my main amulet had rF++. I had to chose the fire resistance and thus I ended up getting a few mutations, fortunately I didn't get anything too bad. I didn't bother to c...

I see that nobody has mentioned Donald. I hate that.
I just get happy everytime I see Donald.

Also my list of archnemesises (is that a word?):
Nikola
Nessos
Tiamat
Prince Ribbit
Agnes

YES! After years of playing this game I finally won. Heavy Armor Deep Dwarf is really nice mid-endgame, most things couldn't hurt me and I usually got more hp than I lost in fights thanks to Makhleb. I was quite lucky with the gear I found, got a shield of reflection from donald, an early demon whip...

Sorry, I just have to point out the irony in removing "the ring of Saviour" only to die the next turn because of it.

Yeah, I lost a promising MfCr to one of those yesterday. Was about to get my first win. :/
