What would be really funny is if 40.16 is released in just a moment.

[Devstorm]

This version works splendidly. Thanks for the stepladders! And for working so hard.

[Parhelion]

You're my hero, Peridexis.

Not only that, but your work is the only way I can talk new people into trying this game. lol

If it wasn't for this pack, his work, and a pcgamer article series called "A newbie plays dwarf fortress" I dont think I ever would have gotten into it.  The complexity is absolutely amazing but the initial learning curve, made even worse by my color blindness, rouuugghhh.  Thanks to this pack though it REALLY helped me get started and babied me in all the right ways so I could play and learn and not just hit wall after wall after wall of struggle.

Is there a specific reason though that the pack is always a version behind vanilla release?  Not that it seems to matter all that much, just wondering if its on purpose for a reason and what that reason is, or it just happens that way.

   It isn't that it is specifically a version behind. For a while there it was on par (made it up to r5 on one version). The reason it takes a while to update to the latest is because a few of the utilities that are a part of the pack can take a while to update and the version before last updated quite a bit of the behind the scene stuff (emotions and what not) so both Therapist and DFHack took a good bit of time to update. At the start of this update cycle the pack would update with or with out those but since we are far enough along the curator of this pack has decided to wait for them. Eventually the pack will catch up with the current version though as the running joke states, when the pack updates it probably means a new version of vanilla will be coming in the next few of hours.

Colorblindness:  there's some pretty cool color schemes coming out now especially to help with this, thanks to the PyLNP's color scheme switcher.  See the ones with 'colorblind' in the name here.

The pack being behind - it's not deliberate, just how the components happened to update this time.  Basically we had a big feature release, which required a lot of work for DFHack, and then at about the same time Toady updated DF again.  The pack should catch up soon though.

heeey awesome!  Sooo many games ignore us colorblind folks and it can really make a game unplayable.  I've never been able to enjoy tetris style puzzle games if they use color instead of shape because so many look to similiar and I cant match em.  Not much if a problem in DF but I do have some issues when trying to mine through certain materials or sometimes try to build some stuff the same color like using all cobalite or whatever, then mess up by using some other similiar blue hued stone. 

Do I just download the text file from taht link that I want, and drop it into the LNP/colors folder?

[PeridexisErrant]

Yep!  Don't forget to re-apply them whenever you change graphics pack

[PeridexisErrant]

[MaximumZero]

Woo! I'll be playing this after work today.

[boysfromthedwarf]

As always PeridexisErrant many thanks for your continued tireless work on the LNP, without it so many of us would be lost.
Great idea on the update notification pop up when starting the LNP...seems like everytime i boot up i get another note telling to update. Which is no bad thing.
Thanks again, will always be endebted to you

Game crashes just after embark/load. Apparently even before twbt has time to process tilepack, as map shows in tiles when it freezes.

[Silpion81]

Seems to be TWBT, setting the print mode to 2D works fine.

Another minor bug: DFhack complains that it has to use the init-example.

[StagnantSoul]

How do I set the print mode to 2D?

If it weren't for the horrible, rampant depression, I'd play this version happily.

[Gigaz]

Soundsense is not working for me I think or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
