Talk:List of vanilla NetHack tiles

Item tile naming

In the game, the tiles for spellbooks, wands, gems, potions, scrolls, rings, amulets, and certain tools/armor correspond to the unidentified names. For example, red gems have a tile and so do smoky potions. Currently they're listed here under the identified name, but there's no set graphical representation for those. I suggest we use the un-ID'd names for naming those tiles.--Cadex 21:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this makes sense. --Jayt 22:04, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. You cannot know what a "potion of healing" looks like but you certainly know how a "yellow potion" looks like. :) --ZeroOne 22:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. The randomized items use their generic descriptions. Also I omitted the floor and wall tiles. I plan on constructing a small room graphic representing the walls of each level (mine walls, gehennom walls, knox walls, sokoban walls) and uploading that as well. I'll begin the uploads at around 24:00 server time. -- PraetorFenix 22:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

All done/editing/headings

Congrats; it looks great :-) What do you mean by "Edits to this page will be discarded."? Do you plan to do more automatic updates on it? Also, it should use ==Headings== rather than <h2>Headings</h2>. --Jayt 17:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Well I plan on adding the character glyph to the images table. Like this:

MONSTERS

a

giant ant

b

killer bee

a

soldier ant

Since I play w/ the x32 windows tiles, I really don't know the character graphics. So this will enable me to post comments on Dudleys Dungeon.

> What do you mean by "Edits to this page will be discarded."? The reason I suggest posting changes on the Talk page is because its easier to integrate changes into the code. Otherwise I have to diff the wiki page with my local copy and try to figure out what changed. Once I finish the character mapping by mid to late August, the page can be edited normally.

> it should use ==Headings== rather than

Headings

will do.
