Tileset for Linux

[amichaux]

Hi,

I downloaded and compiled 4.1.3, on Ubuntu linux. It compiles and installs nicely, and I *can* see the tiles installed; however, the tileset just never loads. There doesn't seem to be any documentation on selecting a tileset. I cannot see anything in the in-game help. Specifying '-g' doesn't seem to do anything. I don't even get a warning that tiles weren't loaded. Tried both SDL and X11 modes.

If someone helps me get this going, then I'm more than happy to write a little HOWTO that other people can use to get tiles working on Linux.

Tiles don't work for x11 (for GPL compatibility reasons). In SDL, you need to use the options (?IIRC) menu at the top, where you can choose which tileset to use and whether to edxpand the height or width.
