I need help with a graphics set!!
« on: January 18, 2011, 07:46:56 pm »

I must sound really suck-ish at this game for saying this, but I can't get a graphics set working!!
I downloaded the "Lazy Newb" package and I'm trying to get the Mayday graphics. I click on them and then click "install", it installs the grpahics, and then it asks to update, I click yes, but it says I have no savegames to update, yet when I get on my either of my fortresses, it still has ASCII graphics....
Can anyone help me?

This probably isn't it, but double-check to make sure graphics are on.  Find your init.txt file (in DF>data>init), go down about a page and find where it says "[GRAPHICS:YES]."  If it says [GRAPHICS:NO], that's your problem and switching it should fix it.  Pretty sure the lazy newb pack comes with graphics (if it doesn't it should) so you shouldn't need to install mayday.

Also, FYI, there is a gameplay questions forum for this sort of thing; your question could probably even had been asked here.  People aren't too uptight around here so it's not a big deal, but asking your questions there means both that you'll get answers quicker and that there's no risk that you'll bump some totally sweet new mod no one's heard of yet off the front page.
