I dont think its a bad idea, just a waste of a perfectly good mod. Dfhack will be updated, and the fort mode changes in the next version are minimal. Its certainly less work to update and add new features, than to write a new mod. But I fully understand the sentiment behind it... its the same reason I started doing multiple races for Masterwork: Its fun to make something conpletely new.

[Deon]

Well it's never completely new, I still have all the raws here. I just plan to modify them to address the new modding features and game changes.

I meant damn as in, where do you find the time. And damn, will have to relearn the mod from scratch. Not damn as in "you %$#%$%#".

I'm quite impressed with your (and meph's) modding work.

[Deon]

Well, I try to spend all the time I have on modding. But now that I got a huge corporate job it's a bit difficult . Still I find it to be really enjoyable to add new content to already amazing games to increase replayability. I.e. right now I am on a modding mission for Distant Worlds until the next DF version is up .

Deon, I love how we de-synch our modding time. You say you take a break and do something else, and I am finally back in action, at least will be in the next couple of days.

And thank you Soyweiser.

Wow, another remake after the new release comes out?

Just thought that you'd like to know that I'm resurrecting my podcast and the next episode will cover this mod.

[Deon]

Thank you for letting me know, I try to follow DF let's plays and podcasts with ardor, so it's great news .

I'm trying to start playing this mod, but I'm completely confused on the world gen. I know that the basic one doesn't work right with this mod, but when advanced preset should I use? Thanks in advance.

Most are the standard ones from vanilla DF. All the ones ending in Region or Island will generate random worlds like in vanilla. The rest have a preset shape, though some things such as temperature ranges and amounts of savagery may vary.

Eldorado is shaped like most of North America.
Tamriel is shaped like the continent of Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls series.
Middle Earth and Numenor are from the Lord of the Rings.

So the vanilla presets are ok to use? I thought that using those would have the same effect as generating with the normal world gen.

Yep, those presets should be fine, since they've been modified from the presets found in vanilla.

Is there a way to use proper ASCII?
