Tiles Question
Way back when I was first exposed to Angband, several years ago, the game came with an enhanced tileset. Nothing super fancy, not real 'graphics' - just solid-color block items with just enough definition to know what they were. A suit of armor was an armor-shaped blob in grey for metal, in tan for leather, and the like.

I liked that intermediate "not quite graphic, but better than ASCII" tileset, but subsequent releases I've tried don't see to have it - I can do ASCII, or I can do full-on graphics.

Is that pseudo-graphical tileset available in any relatively modern release of Angband or ZAngband?

Bonus question : *IS* there a relatively modern release of ZAngband? Thangorodrim seems dormant, and rephial is just for the pure game.

Regarding Zangband, the most modern version is still 2.7.5 (the beta), 2.7.4 is the most stable version. It seems to have stalled. The main bersions that are still in active development (that I know of, there's probably more) are NPPAngband and ToME, plus of course the original.

The latest NPP from here
The latest ToME is still in development - there's loads of alpha versions, but ToME 3.0.0 is a sufficiently big release that it's not out yet. Work is actually occuring on it though. ToME
