Loving the packs so far, but I can't download r3, is the website down?

It's fine for me, but if you can't use DFFD check the OP for the Dropbox mirror.

Retro-actively documented the new scripts in OP:
 - burial.lua, position.lua

[Sklex]

Anyone else having issues with the new build?

Getting error message: Windows cannot open the folder. Zip is invalid.

Have downloaded it twice now with the same result. Other zips are working fine.

Would making some basic layout/format changes to dfhack.init (so I can actually read what's in it without my eyes bleeding) cause any problems for it's function?

And if not, is there anything I need to not mess with in there?

The block of unbroken text that is in there now just makes my brain want to go into a martial trance of text formatting.

Some text editors (Notepad!!) don't honor the line endings.  The DFHack.init file does have them.  Try reading it with Notepad++ or Sublime Text 2/3.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I'm having a strange problem with 40.19r3 i also had with 40.11 of this pack- the zip opening says the zip ends unexpectedly, there is only the .bat for old versions and the .exe launcher, and when trying to extract it gives unknown format or is damaged, and the .exe can't be used. Redownloading does not fix this.  Win8.1

[Dragoon209]

What program are you using to decompress the file? If you are using the default Windows extraction utility, could you try 7zip and report back?

I have seen windows throw errors at perfectly good zip files before.

How big is the downloaded file? If you can check it, what's its MD5 checksum?

Admittedly I didn't read back too many pages (only like 2-3) but I just returned to DF after a break and when I try to launch any of the Starter Pack launchers for 40.19 I notice that Phoebus graphics pack is in red and apparently not available.

What's the status on that?  Or am I missing something? 

Great work as usual.  Thank you for maintaining this. 

[palu]

I'm pretty sure that means it's activated.

In the PyLNP, a red highlight means that item is installed.

O cool thx.  Hadn't made it to the actual embark yet.  Assumed it wasn't working 'cuz the world gen screen looked very different from what I remember....

Thank you for the replies. 

Edit: Discovered it must have been a true type font thing btw.  I switched to 2D and TrueType and it's all as I recall it now.

 - Text will be Text v5.36 (with item overrides, clear text, and multilevel)

This DFHack plugin means all menus and test is in vanilla ASCII (or your choice of font), while your actual fort can use a graphics pack.  Worldgen is also affected, so if you've now got a fort going try changing back to print_mode:TWBT - you might like it!

[rmblr]

+1 for TWBT, it makes the worldgen screen using the font tileset (which looks pretty ASCIIy), but it makes the gameplay itself amazing!

[cdombroski]

Given the number of times it has been explained, it seems like a short description of what TWBT does should be added to the first post. I'm sure there will still be people that miss the note, but hopefully we can cut down on the "My graphics are broke/missing/whatever!" posts.

INSTRUCTIONS:
3. Don't panic if it seems graphics aren't working - menus and text are meant to use ascii tiles now.
