So, if I made a fort in 34.01, it's certain that the savefile is corrupted?

So, if I made a fort in 34.01, it's certain that the savefile is corrupted?

It's very likely corrupted, and to save the tracker managers, myself and most players a continued world of pain, I've disallowed the loading of 0.34.01 saves into 0.34.02 across the board.  I don't like to break save compatibility, and haven't done it often, but I think it is for the best this time.

[Angel-of-Dusk]

Toady, are mist thralls working as intended? I can't tell if they're broken impossible to kill or intended impossible to kill. Only in this game could I ask such a question.

[Stormfeather]

I love you toady. In a no homo way, a bromantic way that the world'll never understand! <3

On topic, feels like other big releases, with these quick, short bugfixes; while this may have made saves corrupt I am still happy, as I just enjoy beta and alpha releases of things like this, and to see the various fixes and issues that arise. Like Giant Mosquitos. Or Dwarves melting in rain.

Mwahaha, I can love him however I want! *flex*

I think my favorite issue so far was tamed fowl laying furniture. :]

Oh, out of curiosity;  Does this version fix the bug that makes Vampires refuse custom names and titles?  Unless that's an intentional way of being able to weed them out from the population.

books are suitable for practical use? or they are just like decoration?

[Meph]

Just a quick question, which files did actually change from 34.1 to 34.2 ?

Great to see quietusts work in this

[Toady One]

Great by the way are giant sponges supposed to get enraged and pull dwarfs into the river?

Well, it's one of the things I know I didn't handle if that counts, he he he.

Toady, are mist thralls working as intended? I can't tell if they're broken impossible to kill or intended impossible to kill. Only in this game could I ask such a question.

They don't collapse, I don't think, so they'd probably need to be beheaded if they have heads or bifurcated and otherwise you are in trouble.  The pulping calls again.

I haven't gotten to that yet, but I am going to go through vampire detection methods at some point here and remove ones I think are too easy/inappropriate.

In adventure mode, you can read a book, and sometimes you can even learn things.

What I remember is in file_changes.txt.  Sorting by modified date might work.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

by the way are giant sponges supposed to get enraged and pull dwarfs into the river?

I hate to ask Toady but when are we gonna get our beloved Dungeon Master back?

I got 99d20 and a DM ain't one ;_;

[MasterMorality]

Damn he works fast.

[jaxy15]

Don't want a corrupted save file? Make a new folder. Problem solved.

[Robsoie]

Thank you for this bugfix release !

[malvado]

A big hug thanks goes to Toady and his brother that works in the shadows ^_^ but also to the other people who has contributed in some / any way !!!

So 2 questions to Toady :

I've lately had some trouble playing the game in ASCII (mostly due to the aftermath of an brain surgery I had in 2010) and to avoid problems (such as seeing horizontal lines for 1/2 hour) I've been enjoying the game with custom Tilesets (mayday and Ironhand) , now recently some of the authors have pointed out that it's getting problematic to continue making tilesets due to the multiple uses certain ASCII characters have such as levers being used for other graphics as well or can be problematic in the map view or inngame txt.
Is it possible to easily improve on this in the future? Like adding a color tag to differentiate between the different type of levers / map type and make it easier for tileset authors to make the appropiate graphic tile for each use?

When are the Dark Fortresses going to appear again for us to explore in Adventure mode? Currently they are on the World map but travelling there reveals normally nothing just like with elven and dwarven towns :*( , I would really love an spaceholder in the meantime instead of emptiness.

Again , thanks a lot for a really good release that seems to be really fun (although I've had no luck in generating a Large world with 1050 years of history , it allways crashes) , I will try to donate some funds to you soon or perhaps try to send you some Nordic Ale (hopefully you do drink alcoholic bewerages? If not it will be something without then I guess ).
