How to get the old ASCII graphics back?

Tried searching the forum but no luck...

basically I want the walls to not use the # symbol... they used to look like solid walls for me but ever since i bought a new PC all the ASCII graphics are ugly.... I remember there being a code to change that in the options.... any help?

Thanks

Re: How to get the old ASCII graphics back?

I use this:

cset = floor : x2022,floor_magic : xB7, door_closed : x25B2, door_open : x2206
cset = wall : x2588,wall_magic : x2593, arch : x2229, grate : x2261, tree : x2663
cset = altar : x2302
cset = fountain : x03A8
cset = rune : x03C6
cset = cloud : x03B6

It's a bit nonstandard (particularly altar/rune/cloud/doors)

Drop that in your settings file, and remove any codes you don't like (or want to change)

I also use this:
mon_glyph = player : x2640

It looks like this:

Re: How to get the old ASCII graphics back?

I'm using:
  Code:
mon_glyph ^= plant : ⚶
mon_glyph ^= bush : ⚶
mon_glyph ^= toadstool : ⚵
mon_glyph ^= fungus : ⚵
mon_glyph ^= * : ✱

# Items
cset_unicode=item_missile:➘
cset_unicode=item_gold:€

# Dungeon Features
# cset_unicode=wall:░
feature += rock wall {░}
feature += crystal wall {░}
feature += stone wall {▒}
feature += metal wall {▓}
feature += unnaturally hard rock wall {█}
feature += altar {▩}  # ◆ ▃ ⚑

mon_glyph ^= trivial sensed monster : darkgrey ☖
mon_glyph ^= easy sensed monster : lightgrey ☖
mon_glyph ^= tough sensed monster : yellow ☗
mon_glyph ^= nasty sensed monster : red ☗
mon_glyph ^= friendly sensed monster : ☖


The wall setup is stolen from gammafunk.
