How to upload maps?
« on: September 17, 2009, 09:10:10 pm »

My fortress died of a tantrum spiral, and now I want to start a new game.

So, I figured I'd try out the Vanilla dream map.

The only problem is  I DON'T KNOW HOW TO UPLOAD IT TO MY GAME!  :o

Kind of a newb question, but I'd still like to know.

Well, a link would have been nice. ::)

Finally found what you're talking about.  Link here:

http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=38274.msg649374#msg649374

I've copied/pasted the data, and made the only change necessary - changing the world name to "Vanilla Dream" (instead of "NEW".)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Copy/paste that text into your DF/data/init/world_gen.txt file (it's just a .txt file, it opens with notepad or sim).  Put it below everything, skip a line for readability.

Then (re)open DF, and select "Design New World With Parameters" - select VANILLA DREAM and hit Enter. 

With those values, it should generate the identical world (unless your OS is differnt re Windows/Mac/Linux.)

Okay, it seems to be working fine...

How many rejections are there supposed to be anyway? 
It's now at 1577 and counting.  :o
