Hi guys, I have tried searching around but apparently am pretty bad at it.  How do I update my current world and fort from 42.01 to 42.03 (I like my current fort)?  I am using Ironhand graphics if it matters but no other mods (just the tile set).  Thank you for any and all help.

Go to the old DF folder. Open "data". Open "save". Select all and copy. Go to the new DF folder. Go to "data". Create the folder "save" if necessary. Paste inside "save".

Will that keep the Ironhand graphics?  If not, is there a way to import whatever files contain the update into the old DF folder?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

That will keep the Ironhand graphics, but make sure to turn [GRAPHICS:YES] in the (IIRC) init or d_init.txt.

Edit: But if it doesn't, no harm done. Just don't delete the old folder yet.

You'll probably need to generate a new world with less horses if you want to play an adventurer without crazy lag any time though. I suppose? Or do new site caps erase excess horses?

Are there any world gen issues between 42.01 and 42.03 that would likely cause problems with continuing the same fortress for an extended period of time?

There weren't many HUGE problems with 42.01, but there might still be equipment bugs, cat-alcohol-death bugs, etc. When in doubt, make a new world.
