Forum:Tiles mode on NAO?

< Forum:Watercooler

Like the title says, can you use tiles mode on NAO? It's probably the only thing keeping me from playing there, I can't handle just symbols, I can handle low quality graphics, but not symbols only.

Not through a standard telnet connection, no. It would be possible if someone made a special interface client, but I don't know of any. --The Cheshire Cat 16:45, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Not on NAO, but there used to be a server with tiles here, but it's gone. It gives the source, though, so it's possible to set up your own tile server. Dr. 8-Bit 19:04, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

After a bit of poking around I found another tilehack server: here. Dr. 8-Bit 19:07, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

It should be possible to play with tiles, assuming you've got the vt_tiledata-option turned on. See this NAO forum post for technical details. Unfortunately, there just aren't any clients that support this, yet. --paxed 19:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

What about Ebonhack? Does it work? --Tjr 14:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it could be made to work with some code changes, but it seems to throw a lot of errors. Also, I really don't like the wide font it uses for text, but I guess that's unavoidable... --paxed 16:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
