32x32 tiles in Linux

[Juan Comesaña]

Hello to everybody. I was trying to test the Itakura's Nethack 32x32
tile (http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/9606/nh/diy.tgz)
in Linux. The D.I.Y. kit produces a file in BMP format, so I converted
it to XPM format using The Gimp. Well, to use it with nethack (Qt
interface) I adjusted the tile_file parameter

Hello to everybody. I am trying to use some of the Itakura's Nethack
32x32 tiles

http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-SanJose/9606/nh/diy.tgz

with the Linux version of nethack (Qt interface). I have found some
problems, like it seems that nethack ignores the tile_file, tile_width
and tile_height options in the $(HOME).nethackrc file. So I had to move
the 32x32 tile file to $NETHACKDIR and rename it to x11tiles. Nethack
loads it but doesn't display it properly. With the X11 interface things
doesn't change a lot (well, I can especify the tiles file in
$(HOME).Xdefaults).

I imagine that the origin of the problem could be in the conversion
between BMP and XPM formats. I used The Gimp and bmptoppm | ppmtoxpm and
the results are the same.

Any idea? What am I doing wrong?

The Qt interface takes QT_TILEWIDTH and QT_TILEHEIGHT. I don't know
offhand how to specify the file name.

Thanks for your answer, but QT_TILEWIDTH and QT_TILEHEIGHT only work as
scale factors. You can enlarge or shrink the tiles, but nothing else.
