The real way to finish your adventurer!
« on: January 17, 2010, 03:36:47 pm »

OK, so I was bored with my multilegendary wrestler so I've found the true way to end my journeys.

I've found a volcano (not a mere magma pipe, I had to travel 2 worldmap mountain tiles to get there) with a -steel statue- from my previous fort in my hands. Must I say that i was wearing nothing?

Then I jumped into volcano and proceeded to bash fire imps but there was a giant flame spider which bit my head off.

I've got 1 imp before I was burned by the spider.

Show your spectacular ways of endings. Please screenies if possible, I am tired of thousand stories which were made up in the place. Although I don't meant to try to forbid it :D.

I killed the three rulers of the world, which I modded to have [POWER] tags. A dragon, a hydra and a demon. I brought their bodies across the ocean to a volcanic island then threw them in. Then I jumped in after them.

Oh, that's a good story. I wanted to throw something valuable in the volcano but I was not able to locate the leaders :(.

Pretty sure it's Biasams 24x24 tileset. You can find it here.

It's pretty suave. I'd love to borrow from it if you care to share?

Edit: erm, well, I should have read further. Checkin out the link.
And nice way to end it, points for style.

I'm not really good with things like this. I'll try helping. This is probably one of two things:

1. Most likely you have an earlier version than 40d16. If you have, try upgrading and trying it on this version.

2. You made a mistake with the init file

Here's my init settings for that section (I just guessed what you needed to do so I may have done it in a strange way):

This lets you set the starting windowed/fullscreen setting.  Can be YES, NO or PROMPT.

[WINDOWED:NO]

This is the size and font for windowed mode.  Changing to 800x600 and the 800x600 font might make you happier.

[WINDOWEDX:640]
[WINDOWEDY:300]
[FONT:curses_640x300.png]

Full screen info.  The 0s below mean that the game will choose a resolution for you, but you can set it yourself as well.

[FULLSCREENX:1280]
[FULLSCREENY:1024]

Offtopic again: I like 40d16 because you can resize the DF window by mouse and zoom with a wheel, so whenever I feel like I want to change the size of the DF window I don't have to restart.

Yeah, Biasam's tileset uses antialiasing to make the tiles look soooo sexy slick.  Only 40d16 supports antialiasing.

But yeah, it's an awesome tileset.

Oh god, when I read the OP I was (and still am) listening to eye of the tiger.

So imagine a short naked man swimming in lava, all his hair on fire (super-saiyan!), beating on fire imps with a STATUE, and add the song... wow...
