Installation - Where is Dwarf Fortress.exe?
« on: September 16, 2013, 03:13:16 pm »

I'm trying to run Masterwork for the first time. The manual has these clear instructions:

Quote
    Run Dwarf Fortress.exe.
    Gen a new world using the adv. world gen with the included templates.
    Play.

I can't find the exe anywhere in the extracted rar file. I try to run Settings.exe, it says "Cannot find Dwarf Fortress directory".

Should I copy the regular exe into the folder with Masterwork files or something? Or should I copy the Masterwork folder into the main DF folder?

When the instructions say "This is a pre-installed package using the Phoebus tileset. Do not download a normal copy of DF and mix them.", it kinda implies that the package is self-sufficient.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

Did some digging on this sub-forum - turns out it didn't unrar properly. Second time it seems to have unpacked all the files correctly.

What a weird issue  ???

I find as well sometimes the file doesn't download properly. Make sure the file size downloaded is the same as what's listed.
