[0.42.03] Ghostproblems: In which we get to know some dwarves.
« on: December 17, 2015, 11:09:30 pm »
Howdy y'all. I haven't played in a few major versions, and I just started recording my latest game while trying to keep the playthrough mostly blind.

There are three episodes written right now; the first two are very heavy on the tutorial aspect since a lot of the people who inspired me to write it are not experienced players, but some !FUN! starts happening in episode three.

Episode 1: A tale of dwarves and keyboard shortcuts.

Episode 2: When menus attack.

Episode 3: Do you want ants? Because that's how we get ants!

I'll post links to the updates here so people can subscribe to the thread if they want. I hope you enjoy it!

Update!

Episode 4: Build it, and they will drink.

I compiled DFHack from scratch to get the text extractor script running. That's love!

What. Flat what.

Upload it! Whatever you did, tell us! The forums are getting anxious without DFHack to do stuff with. At least I know I am.

I see you found the macros. Some of my most horrifying work. :P

Just a tip—you can type "C-u <number> C-p" to play back a macro several times, which by the looks of things would have sped you up a lot. They're inspired by Emacs keyboard macros, you see.

C++ makes baby Cthulhu weep. Why settle for the lesser horror?

No wonder I didn't grok them immediately; I'm a Vim fellow, myself! Are you the dev who helped with the SDL stuff? Cracking good job, there! Thanks for the advice.
