Dwarf Fortress multiplayer in Minecraft (How To)
« on: June 02, 2012, 12:19:14 pm »

This is a guide on how to create a dwarf fortress minecraft server using special mods.

Step 1. Download Minecraft_Server.jar http://www.minecraft.net/download (You need a server to host Duh)
Step 2. Install Modloader and MinecraftForge http://minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,5.0.html (TerraFirmaCraft requires this)
Step 3. Install TerraFirmaCraft http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/913258-125terrafirmacraft-beta-v2-pre22update-62-survival-mode-as-it-shouldve-been-now-with-seasons/ (Creates a dwarf fortress like environment)
Step 4. (Skip to Step 5...)
Step 5 Install More_Player_Models mod http://www.kodevelopment.nl/minecraft/moremodels/instal (Allows players to play as dwarves, orcs, goblins and i believe he said something about adding big ear option, elves too)

Step 6 Optional Install Custom_NPCs (For massive sieges and NPC dwarves) and Animal_Bikes (Because, dwarves riding wolves)

And there you go, now you have a server worth a Dwarf Fortress!
Also if you do make a server it would be nice for you to post it here. (IF of course, its allowed on the forums)

Stay crafty my friends.

Edit: Turns out that the creator did not post all the downloads for his mod, use this youtube video instead http://youtu.be/CXFHihwNFo4

Not Dwarf Fortress by a long shot.

Well to some extend each player is in fact a dwarf, and terrafirma does make minecraft a bit more difficult. Sure its not THE DF game but its as close as another game can be if you want to be a dwarf yourself.

Now stop crying and get there, and make a trapThrone room to killimpress your noble.

that was a luky dwarf. I had one dabbling surgeon fail so spectacularly that the patient skull flew a tile away from the table.

DF doesn't mold players into its image - DF merely selects those who were always ready for DF.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Each person would need Forge mod to play on the server.
Some people will  have a problem with that because forge is hard to find, but i dont mind having to install it.

Also most bukkit plugins WILL conflict with the mods, so i dont suggest adding that if not for the grief protection.

But of course if people are going to grief they dont belong on the server anyway.
Think of this as adventure mode co-op with a bit of fortress building mixed in.


For bonus points refer to all new players as immigrants Hahaha.

In every single game where a B12 guild/alliance/village/fleet is formed, new players are always migrants.  Every, single, one.

Every forge build, both the recommended ones, and the others in between.

TFCraft specifically requires build #96.

What do the clients require, if anything?

I haven't played TFCraft in SMP, but I would assume that anyone who joins has to have installed the client portion of the mod.

About one hour and 45 minutes after you locked the thread, Bioxx finished another version of TerraFirmaCraft.

He is usually around in IRC, at irc://irc.esper.net/tfcraft and generally updates the topic the moment a new release is out.

Hilarious, i will update the links.
Also, thank you qwertyuiopas!

Edit: Nope, its still broke.  >:(
Urist McHammer is unhappy now.
