new version paching
« on: October 06, 2010, 02:40:07 pm »
When a new version comes out, is there an easy way to update my old files, without having to backup saves and re-change my tileset? or must I unzip the entire thing, replace my sve in the saves folder and try to figure out how to place my tileset without replacing the new patch files.

help?

Lazy Noob Pack

Lately, it hasn't been updated, but it's quite helpful when it does come out.

Just unzip it separately, move your saves and tileset to the new version, and copy your init changes. Don't forget to update the raw folder in the save with the new version!

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

yea we definitely need a tool for that.

"lazy updater" - enter your df-directory and the location of the new version .zip file and press "go"  :D
