:I suggest you zip them, or provide zipped versions as an alternative.  Even if you don't care about the space on your web host, I'm sure you've noticed that BMP makes for very large files, especially in 24-bit color, and a zipped version would be faster to download.--[[User:Ray Chason|Ray Chason]] 22:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

NetHack 128x128

An (old?) version of the Absurd NetHack 128x128 Tileset is available from the old sourceforge page of noegnud. Although I don't know if this version is any different from the wayback one. (Sourceforge page) --Bhaak

I grabbed a copy; it appears to be the same as the Wayback copies, only larger. It's a PNG of about 13 megabytes and will need to be converted for use with most ports other than perhaps Qt.--Ray Chason 19:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

32, 64, 72 and 128 PNG files

Three sizes were available as .PNG on the Noegnud page at sourceforge. They are now available for download in a single zip file from: http://darksun.lunarpages.com/nethack/Absurd-64-72-128.zip (20.7M) I haven't been able to get any of them to load after converting them with mspaint to .bmp on this computer, but I got the same 72 to work on another computer the other day. If someone else can try this link and see if they will load, we can add that webhost as a mirror. --SaintD 02:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
