What do you mean by "hate dislikes"?

Also it's going to take a while, but since noone volunteered, I explored a few fallout-inspired comics, looked at different fonts and started to work on my own tileset. It's not going to be ready soon but I will try to complete it:

So long as the final product makes use of full stops instead of god-awful coloured spaces when you needed a full stop in speech...then it'll be good.

Ok, so I was playing some adventurer mode a few hours ago and found a naked cannibal running through the town. "Huh, crazy Borderlands-ish psycho running around" I thought initially. I went to walk past him and enter another house, when he stopped and attacked me. After dispatching him, two members of the town decided that I was "a bandit" and attacked me. When I finally died - after leaving and getting killed at the hands of a super mutant - I checked out my legends. Apparently I had committed treason, heresy or something like that and my entire "race" so to speak had turned on me. A new character, fresh out of adventurers school gets WH40k'd with heresy. I managed to back up the save and continue. This happened at least twice. I thought I'd say something here but I doubt it has anything to do with the mod.
Also, I hired a known-vampire soldier and went to another town where there was several other soldiers. I hired them and five turns later all three revolted, as did the entire town, against me. So a word of advice for fellow adventurers - Fallout sentiment is apparently fully implemented in this mod 

At least in this world I can manage to survive against super mutants - go swordsman and you'll get a machete and that should do well.

[Deon]

You should find an axesword . That's a great swordsman's weapon. Machete is for starters.

Regarding that issue with a cannibal, which town were you in? Some races have a high banditry number which leads to weird shit like that. Apparently some of their groups treat other nations, races and even towns of their own race as bandits and/or enemies, so if you walk into a supermutant town and have a chat it doesn't mean that the next supermutant is not going to murder your ass because he dislikes you either for your race or nation. And then there's that DF logic that turns everyone else on you too once you fight with the troublemaker.

It's vanilla DF behaviour of goblins, you just don't see it because goblin towers do not exist yet; if there were goblin towns (you can mod them in) you would see the same. It's [LOCAL_BANDITRY] token which does that.

Let me check - I'll reserve this space for my reply. 
Edit - Uhhh, gonna take some time. My last save is in the middle of a vampire fight.
from what I remember it was a multicultural town - super mutants, a scavenger, cannibals and watselanders living in harmony. Until that psycho attacked me that is.

What do you mean by "hate dislikes"?

What i mean by that is that IF it works it crashes, normally it wont install and, as i have mentioned earlier, really, really refuses to work on my computer.

[Deon]

Do you use linux? There're some archive managers which I can suggest you. Tell me your system, I will give you a link!

[Aseaheru]

windows 7 64 bit.

[Deon]

Then your fault is that you grab 32bit archivators. http://www.rarlab.com/rar/winrar-x64-420.exe <- that's the 64 bit one.

[Big_James_B]

windows 7 64 bit.

I don't know about you or Deon but when I grabbed the 32-bit for my win8 64 bit (I assume since everything in 32-bit says it'll be better in 64-bit) worked perfectly, but I changed to the 64-bit one to be safe. I agree with Deon that it'd be best to go 64-bit, but I don't know why it would refuse the 32-bit version. Perhaps its win7 acting up for some reason, or you're computer's acting up. It should work now if you download the 64-bit version. If that still doesn't work try using a different program, and if using a different program doesn't work then someone may actually maintain an alternate archived file version, which wouldn't be that difficult.

[Aseaheru]

no, they refuse 64 bit.

[Big_James_B]

Really? You're pc is refusing WinRAR as a whole? There must be something wrong then...perhaps try another program. When I come back from college I'll take a look at alternative archival methods, unless Deon wants to, but its quite strange that it'd be totally refused.
Quick question - have you already had WinRAR on your pc for the "trial time" already? That may be the problem, but I've never had it just totally refuse to work.

Actually - put in detail what's going on when you try to open/install/whatever WinRAR. That'd give us a better understanding of what may be going wrong.

[Deon]

I have such an urge to say that there's a driver problem between the seat and the keyboard, but I don't want to be a dick . Can you describe what's going wrong when you try to launch the .exe, Aseaheru? I cannot believe a man who can play DF cannot install a simple tool, there must be something new, I am intrigued.

[Aseaheru]

It just sits there and closes.
and it used to work...

[Big_James_B]

Hey Deon - I' back from college and have the opportunity to do a archive version that Aseaheru can use. Do I have your permission?

[Deon]

Why not? Just upload it somewhere and link to him. It would be nice if you could help him.
