I think meph is taking a break from masterwork (I think he is still working on the graphics set)

[Sooner535]

That is sad to hear :/ just started playing Masterwork after running 2 fortresses in vanilla (well LNP, but whatever). Anyways anyone have a fix for this yet:

...sktop\DFMW\Dwarf Fortress/hack/scripts/exportlegends.lua:662: Cannot read fie

        (...tail calls...)

Really annoying to not be able to use the exportall feature

Just read the giant I am back post by Meph

Sorry to hear the string of bad luck you've had Meph, take all the time you need and thank you for doing such a great job modding this game and for having the courage to let everyone know what happened

[Metaltooth]

I really hope he or someone on the forums can get around to updating Masterwork to the new version that includes raiding. I think the guy behind the Ork mod could have some fun with it

[Sooner535]

yes, not to mention I get a crash in MW everytime I play Dwarfs (I need to sit down and get the crash log put up here tbh). But never crashed with humans which I think is odd lol

So, apparently, current version is unstable ?

I like masterwork and I would like to play with it ...
... do you have suggestions on wich version is the actual stable ?

This one is playable:

Reborn 0.05 on dropbox ?



Sounds like Terminator 5 (an incomplete reboot).
I readed Meph's posts anyway, I can't complain if he decided to travel around the world for real instead of creating new worlds
It's healthier.

Does this version 0.43.05 of Masterwork work as intended?  Any major show stopping bugs?  Can I play it as is and have an enjoyable experience?  Don't want to invest hours into it and find that its broken.  If so which version is recommended?  Thanks in advance.

Edit: Sorry for the noob-y question.  Just started to branch out modding DF.

Same question here, I think it's time for me to test some mods, and Masterwork is apparently THE mod. Is the 0.43.05 good ? I think I can play DF without the raid feature in 0.44...

Masterwork is an AMAZING mod, but up to now I'm having trouble to understand wich is the more stable version.

Few years ago,
there was a stable MW version that was using DF 34.11,
after some pressure from us, Meph decided to restart from scratch using newest version of DF but the mod seems not finished or a little unstable.

Amostubal made this patch, though be warned, he gave up on it before Meph got back so if you find a bug it probably wont be fixed and you'll just have to play around that problem. It also predates raiding, IIRC.

To the people talking about the lack of raiding~
With very mild effort I got Masterwork running on 44.10, so here's a tossed together guide.
Consequently due to the nature of the steps I took, you'll be stuck with the 64x version though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Because I rather not waste a lot of space on this page I'm going to fit this into a spoiler. 

 Here's what I believe I did from memory:

1.) Setup Masterwork however you want it.

2.) Download the 0.44.10 Win64 Impatient Newbie Pack from google.

3.) Rename Dwarf Fortress in the Masterwork folder to Dwarf Fortress Backup.

4.) Add in Dwarf Fortress 0.44.10 from the Impatient Newb pack zip.

5.) Rename Dwarf Fortress 0.44.10 to Dwarf Fortress.

6.) Delete raws in Dwarf Fortress folder and replace them with copies of raws from backup folder.

7.) Replace all files in data except for interface.txt, index, both shader files, with the backup file copies.

8.) Overwrite dfhack.init and dfhack_PeridexisErrant.init with copies from backup.

9.) Copy in Masterwork.settings, extra_dfhack_init.init, stocksettings folder,  from backup.

10.) Copy masterwork folder from backups hack/scripts to new ones hack/scripts.

11.) Make a folder called twbt and a folder called original in the plugins folder and copy
automaterial.plug.dll
mousequary.plug.dll
resume.plug.dll
twbt.plug.dll 
  into it from the new hack/plugins.

11.5.) Launch the masterwork launcher, and act normally; don't touch the saved keybinds since they lack the new inputs,  you can probably overwrite the old keybinds files with the ones in the INP though.

42)  Have fun, raid the world.



Pretty sure that's all you need to do unless I overlooked a step.

Ps: Not sure how stable this is, so I suggest keeping the backup folder and your saves incase you find something game-breaking; I managed to import my save from normal masterwork into it perfectly though so, seems fine from the 100+ hours or so I've been playing it near non-stop on the most recent version of DF, even the masterwork scripts are working with the latest version of DFHack it seems.

I'd just upload a zip of the MW I fixed up but I absolutely know that there would be about a dozen copyright problems with that, and I get enough of that already with my youtube.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got it running on 44.12 using a combination of your steps above and the content from Mephs tile set. Seems okay so far.

/update: still good after 20 or so hours. World creation can crash sometimes when using the predefined advanced parameters that come with MW, but the in built ones seem to be okay.
If there is interest I can write a script that could perform the merge (I will be doing that for myself next time updates come out anyway).
