Unfortunately, the provided installer is buggy and provides png tertiles only for desert-type maps.
So if you try the other you will become an error or you must try to use my fix.

Hit the 'print screen' key, then paste it in the paint program.

Not buggy, just not done. AFAIK, Grim never made any other tilesets, so that is all anyone ever used.
I guess the original pcx ones should have been converted though. :stare:
and it ends here.

I have already created a fix for it(with converted pictures and fixed config-files):

On a regular keyboard, it's the one to the right of F12, above Insert. On "special" layouts or laptop keyboards, it's usually some weird combination. Check your keyboard's documentation.

hit print screen key - load a graphics program like paint.net or gimp or..whatever you have - and paste that image into it. save it out as a jpg or gif or whatever - do not use BMP as that is just WAAAAAAAY to large file size way. :D
