[Un] Changing Fonts to be like V fonts?

[Poop Loops]

What I mean is, having # be walls and x be unexplored area is hurting my eyes. Too much stuff on the screen. I like the way V displays it. Much cleaner. Any quick way of doing that?

Dark glasses?

Still lots of crap on the screen. It's just really hard to see now. But thanks.

I'm not sure, but perhaps you can get rid of 'x' by turning off some options (something about detecting?). But those exes are a great help for playing, once you get used to them. About '#' I have no clue, but it was beaten to death on the forum and it's set similarly as in (old?) V, if you OS allows it.

The X's suck. I don't want to get used to them. In fact, I'd prefer some sort of tile version, but if I start angband with -g in the command line, I get a fugly tile version, not the pretty one people on here show sometimes.

Go into user interface options, and turn off both view_unsafe_grids and view_detect_grids.

Try ./unangband -mx11 -g -- -b; this will give you the Adam Bolt tiles in bigtile mode (double width):


Adding a -g on the end will get the David Gervais tiles:

Cool, thanks, I'll try that.
