Ok, so, I'm having a problem with ctd. Whenever I try to create a world, I get the usual "Has stopped working" message from windows.
I have a lot of the content on, but this shouldn't matter, as I have 16 Gigs of Ram, and 2 Gigs of Video Ram to back it up, as well as a 12 Gig swap file.
I have indeed used the two fixes people have suggested to others, both the LAA fix, and the compressed save fix.
Occasionally, before it crashes, I get a little popup telling me that one of the tilesets is missing.
It crashes on "Preparing Text Objects", right after "Preparing Materials".
I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem.

EDIT: Apparently it was window's fault (Not really surprising that). When I had tried to extract the file, about three hundred or so files were left out (Mainly tilesets). Unfortunately, windows being windows, simply trying to extract the files again didn't work, and resulted in it going over those files, recognizing they weren't duplicates, and then proceeding to completely forget about them, and proceed to complain about the duplicates that were there.
To solve this, I had to redownload the mod again, and extract it from a new download of the archive, with a different name.
So yeah, windows continues to be windows.

UPDATE: I also now find that the download doesn't seem to have all the files for the default Meph's Tileset, only containing one or two images, while my working copy contains many more. Is this a bug, or is it something I'm supposed to know about?

UPDATE 2: Ok, so found it did include some files, however, it's still not working. The error message I normally get is that it can't find the tileset in raw for either giants or humans, it seems to change every time I get the error.

Reinstalled it, and it worked fine. I had to do a hard reinstall, though, so I deleted all of it and reinstalled it.

Are there links to previous versions of Masterwork? I'm exhausted with these updates crashing and the graphics not working. 1.10 or below would be preferable.

I'm not finding what i'm looking for in that link.

I just reintsall Masterwork because I can't figure out how to fix the strange TWBT behaviour.

If I run TWBT successfully with a graphical tileset, then I delete the save and switch to 2D mode with creature sprite turned off, I'm still stuck with a TWBT display, even if I delete the TWBT dll files manually. Only when I turn on creature sprite in 2D mode will I get the correct tileset back, and even then I won't get to see creatures displayed as ASCII because the creature sprite is retrieved elsewhere.

It seems I can't switch back and forth TWBT and 2D as I please.

Honestly if I could just play the game in ascii without those crappy creature sprites (and not the square ascii either) that would be perfect, but as of late hardly anything works with MW, it's difficult enough to get it running without crashing

My dwarf turned into a werechameleon, and then his heart started melting and bleeding "plant matter", and then he died. What is going on

Edit: I just noticed it isn't even a full-moon. It isn't even night at all

I don't know but that sounds..  extremely excruciating.

Does anyone know how effective is ore processor? Is it worth processing every single ore in early embark?

You get free granite stone and the pure ores smelt into more bars, and it takes nothing but time to process. I'd say its always worth it

Its worth it to process any ore, the difference between say hematite and process_hematite...
hematite has 4 tries at 1% for 1 orichalcum bar, and 4 irons bars when smelted.
processing the hematite gives you 1 pure hematite, 25% chance for 1 granite boulder, and 3% chance for 1 rock crystal.
smelting the pure hematite gives you 4 tries at 2% for 1 orichalcum bar, 4 tries at 25% for 1 iron bar and 4 iron bars automatic.
basically one step and you easily are increasing your average return rate to 5 iron bars with a possibility of 8 iron bars and increasing your chance of orichalcum.

Thanks, that's a great break down.

Hey man, just wanted to give thanks personally for your mod - alot of your resources have been mad useful in a magic mod im making. I have, of course, given credit for all the stuff I used, at some point or other on the mod thread or download page. ANYHOW, just wanted to say thanks!

Now there is floating lava in my fort? It's literally raining lava from the sky.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I saw this in adventure mode as well, sporadically.

Looks like a good day to stay indoors.

Did you make any raw changes? I know the game fails over to magma whenever a material isn't defined properly.

[Amostubal]

that looks like a misdefined magma spawn point.... and even a bad raw edit doesn't produce actual lava, it produces the magma slag that is left behind when some material is heated beyond its melting point.  Its has room temp and isn't dangerous, and it wont stack or flow... what he shows in the picture is what I usually see when a magma spawn point is set.  if he has any magma wells, I would suggest trying to set all 4 directions to 0... if that doesn't work, then use the dfhack commands liquids to edit and remove the spawn point.
