This is not the place for questions.

Sorry, won't happen again.  Could you at least PM me the answer?

[thistleknot]

it would be nice if right click went back in the gui for option choices, example:  tilset; or color.
whoops

Just a quick note, my LP "StreamAxe" is vanilla, not MW ^_^

[Meph]

Oh, sorry. I'll remove it when I update the post with the new letsplays I found.

Could you add a current manual to the repository, separate from the full download?

I'd like to download it to my phone so I can look at it without alt-tabbing

Just here to say that roughly following jellsprout's instructions here, I've gotten the basics (MW and dfhack) of version 4a up and running in all its glory. I just took the windows v4a release, ran the settings in wine, then moved linux-specific files in and windows files out, and recompiled dfhack with the v4a plugins/scripts.

Only snag I hit was dfhack not recognizing the version, so I added the md5 from stderr.log to hack/symbols.xml under the v0.34.11 linux address section, and will likely have to do that for DwarfTherapist too once I compile it.  Also Putnam's itemsyndrome throws a small bug, but looks like that's being worked on.

That said, I've generated a world, ran a pre-defined embark profile, and gone to the first caravan with no problems. Tried out reveal, dflabors, various search functions, and building non-vanilla workshops, and everything seems to work. I'll add results on the other utilities if/when I try adding them.

Noticed you have yet to put your Ruthless tutorial fort link here yet. Maybe that's because you never finished it. You should maybe finish a tutorial fort sometime meph. Wait, what am I saying, thats the Meph Curse: any community game started by meph is doomed to be abandoned to the third page

For the Linux version, you need to beware that several DFHack plug-ins don't work on Linux or cause the game to crash. Most notably the growthfixbug.rb script and the Digging Invaders script. Even with those two disabled, I still get more crashes than I would get in vanilla. With the increased reliance on DFHack, it is simply too much work to get a stable version of Masterwork running on Linux. You could try it, but expect a lot of crashes before you get everything running again.

Thats because its so much more interesting to write new content, then to write about old content.

Did you compile your own dfhack? Though I've been afraid to try the digging invaders script, I've had no problem with the growthfix one, and haven't had any crashes at all in probably 15+ hours of gameplay. Only bugs I've seen (and don't know if it's linux specific from looking at the reaction raws), is various reactions creating a "liquid barrel" instead of, say, gnomeblight.

Nobody blames you for that, and I'm pretty sure everyone generally agrees, but it would be nice to see how you progress through the tech tree, considering you wrote the mod and have the best idea on how the progression's supposed to go

[Meph]

Funnily enough, I havent seen most features of the mod ingame yet. It's like your are thinking I'm Neo, who knows the secrets of the Matrix, while I am actually just Cypher, looking at the code, and nothing else.

Honestly, I have never build the Volcanic Foundry, or any of the mage altars, or any of the machinery ingame... I know the basic stuff very well, because my testforts are 1-2 years long, but the high-end part of the mod is uncharted territory for me... gameplay-wise. 

[vcordie]

Then how do you test the balance of endgame?

[Meph]

On paper/in my head. And based on reports from players, thats why I always ask for feedback and reports. I love getting stories about large/old forts, they help immensely with developement.
