Is it possible, in any way to make your embark smaller?
« on: September 19, 2009, 11:44:13 am »
Hi

I've been having a bit of trouble with the frame rate now I have a population closing 50. I'm thinking this is possibly down to the larger than usual embark area I chose, which is about 6x10.

Is it possible to shrink the area, either by editing somehow, or by reclaiming? I tried the latter, but I couldn't see any option to shrink the area.

I've finally managed to get an area which I like, and would be a shame to loose it because I overreached myself too much.

Thanks

No, I'm sorry, but you cannot alter the size of your map after you have embarked, your stuck with what you have, May I recommend regenning the world and starting again?

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Now why didn't I think of that! Re-genning, genius idea.

Thanks!

Erm, I assumed the seed data would be in the save folder, but can't see it.

Where could I find it?

In the options menu (escape key) there should be an option to 'export local image.' export a layer of the map and it will generate a massive bitmap of your map. This is probably useless to you. What it will also generate is a file yourfortname-param-savefilename.txt. This file contains the world seed, in addition to many of your gen parameters. these are both located in the DF root directory.

Hope that helps
