Installing a Tileset

Freeciv looks for a file called <tileset>.tilespec somewhere in your Freeciv data path. That tilespec file contains information telling Freeciv which graphics files to use, and what those graphics files contain.

So, to install a tileset you just need to download it and unpack it somewhere inside the path. The best places to put a tileset are in the installation data directory (with the other tilesets) or in the ~/.freeciv/ directory (on multi-user systems like Linux, Windows XP or Mac OS X).

Selecting a Tileset

To use different tilesets with Freeciv, use the --tiles argument to the Freeciv client. For instance, to use the trident tileset, start the (gtk3) client with:

   freeciv-gtk3 --tiles trident

You may also change tileset in-game through the client options dialog.
