One last question, again, I'm just now getting into computers. So this may be common knowledge, but not to me at the moment.
Unzipping my mod into my directory... I just need to put the data in the data folder, the init in the init folder? I tried that, but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Working with compressed files is becoming something of a lost art, it seems. Back in MY day...
The idea is that if you put the files in the zip directly into your DF directory, it'll work. Find your DF main directory - it should include the Dwarf Fortress .exe and folders named 'raw' and 'data', among others. Then just extract or copy-paste everything from the zip file into that folder, in one big chunk.
Ok, so I put the zip file into the folder that has Data, Raw, SDL, and then unzipped it in there. Now there is an unzipped file of Modest Mod in the same file that has Data, Raw, and SDL.
I have the Phoebus tileset of Dwarf Fortress, downloaded directly from Phoebus' thread. It has its own .init file and all that. I know you have the Phoebus version of Modest Mod, and that's the one I'm using.
It seems the medical part of the mod is working, as my broken nose, smashed fingers/toes, and torn ear dwarfs are now going to the hospital. I can't use the "Mill for dye or empty bucket" reactions yet. Will I have to create a new world for that?
