I honestly just messed with stuff till I could load the save, so I'm not sure how to get any other tileset working. Good luck though.
edit: actually, that isn't true. What you should be able to do is run the tileset updater then copy the creature definitions from the raws folder of the GateIvory save (make a copy before you run the updater). I think that should work, that is roughly what I did, but with fewer oopsies.

Maybe try putting up a new DF install from LNP, set your tileset, and then extract the save and start playing.

^^^this^^^
is good advice

That does not work you will end up using the wrong tiles for the tileset.
Mostly this makes rough walls look wrong for the tileset but it also does not update creature graphics to match the tileset.
You have to update the raw files in the save to match the tileset you are using to get the tileset to look correct.

If the only creatures were modded that should work fine.

All I did was add in some fake creatures with the right names.
I changed a few files because I wasn't sure which environment some of the modded creatures went in, so I just put them in a bunch till it ran.
the files I changed are
creature_insects
creature_desert_new
creature_bug_slug_new
creature_amphibians
creature_next_underground
in the GateIvory\raw\objects folder
Hope that helps.

If you backup up the original raws, install the raws for a graphics pack, and then copy those files from the original raws back replacing the ones from the graphics pack it should work.
You might see some differences in the appearance of the animals in those folders that way but it is easier than finding the new entries in those files and copying them to the raws from the graphics pack you use.

I can narrow down the search for where they belong, the modded critters go to the desert biome. there are only 3 of them.

Here is a file including
- Dwarf Fortress
- The latest save of gateivory already in the correct folder
- A TileSet
- Dwarf Therapist

Just extract, run DF.bat and play! : )

thank you valrandir, Ill put it in the OP as the current save.

thank you valrandir, Ill put it in the OP as the current save.

You might want to put a warning about what OS it is for (I assume Windows because of ".bat").
It won't work for people using other OS's than the one that archive was made for.

Sorry everyone, lot of homework to catch up on, I'll start playing soon. (No boy scout campout, as it happens.)

Sorry for that, it is indeed the windows version.

Not a problem I just did not want someone to be surprised when the opened it.
You can still use the save and tileset on another OS you just need to copy them to the DF version for your OS.

One big update, screenshots to follow!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I was chosen to be Overseer, I was not just a bit surprised. I am a seventy-nine year old veteran who hardly knows anyone. I still have some steam in me, but hardly anyone recognizes it. The thing that discourages me the most is that I was appointed during a goblin attack. As I sat by the cool waterfall, I composed myself. The main thing is that we are all sealed away now. But at what cost? As I rose to leave, I nearly tripped over a pile of clothing. This stuff is everywhere...

I just realized that we are entirely open to the caverns, so I order them sealed up. Food production is fine, however, I noticed that we are throwing bones over the cliff, instead of using one of the Mk. 12 Atom-Reducing Garbage Compactors that are easily available. (OOC: Can I use dfhack to get rid of all of that stuff over the cliff already? That's really gotta be hurting framerate.)

11th of Granite, 42
Hard at work in the mines today. On my break, I flipped through our scout reports to find that the squad of axegoblins is still out there. Also, I designed the newest floor of bedrooms.

13th of Granite, 42
I have decided to equip myself with some armor and a sword in case fighting breaks out. I will draft other dwarves in to train as needed.

16th of Granite, 42
The Goblins have killed themselves on our weapon traps, so I unseal the entrances.
I am building one of the aforementioned Mk. 12 Atom Reducers to smash all of the goblin clothing.

17th of Granite, 42
Zan Matcatten, one of those trapped outside, somehow survived the goblin attacks.

18th of Granite, 42
Some kid created a giant rat bone buckler. It made me realize all of the are bones going to waste when we could be using them for crafting and ammunition.

20th of Granite, 42
We found some of the dead today. They shall be buried as soon as possible, to prevent their spirits from being trapped in the material plane.
Another ettin has come; I order everyone inside.

26th of Granite, 42
The ettin blundered onto our traps, but not before killing someone who was trapped outside.

2nd of Slate, 42
I have started throwing away all of the trash from the goblin attacks, as well as equiping myself with a steel sword.

11th of Slate, 42
Some migrants have arrived. I shall draft them at once to help protect this city.

[MiceMiceMice]

I'm fine with dfhack, though you'd probably want to get everyone's opinions. So long as frame rate isn't too low I wouldn't bother though.
On a different note, is there a reason you put the update in a spoiler? It does save on page space but the text is a rather small, making it hard to read.
Otherwise, nice update!
edit: I sure hope none of that "trash" is made of metal, we need that stuff.

[saltmummy626]

I would say yes if the FPS drops way too low, and only if you can come up with a good explanation as to why the horribly polluted river is suddenly clean again. also, ill change the OP to reflect the info given to me.

[Valrandir]

The stuff down the cliff should despawn over time, given that its refuse such as bones and stuff.
