Or rather, is the latest version v0.5.3?

[Ultraman]

Nevermind... Sorry! I was a little confused for a moment on how outdated my pack was... It turns out I was still on r41! Anyway great job so far, keep up the good work!

[PeridexisErrant]

R45 was released yesterday, about on the timestamp of the announcement above. V0.5.3 is the version of the Java GUI included, which is an important part of the pack.

R41 really isn't that outdated, I just like to update frequently so new downloads have all the latest stuff and fixes.

[Ultraman]

Okay, thanks! One more question, though. When you said v.0.53, is that the version the r45's GUI is included? Because on the top it says v.0.5.3, so is that the same thing, or is there somewhere else to update the GUI?

[PeridexisErrant]

Typo, I missed a dot. Fixed.

[Ultraman]

That's what I was thinking. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

I have seen that´s it´s a military tweak since I installed this package, military training goes extreamly fast. I just did get 2 legendary+3 axelords from just 1 year of training (sparring). Think that am some time to fast, more of a test to make the weapons and armor than get the training and that seems wrong in my playstyle.

How do I make dfhack tweak military less? I have no Idea of how to do it by myself.
And thanks for the package, got me back after some months paus. waiting for df 2014 now..

All DFhack does is fix a bug that causes large squads to spar less (anything over 3 men to a squad causes this issue), so you're basically playing the unbugged version of how squads are supposed to train.

I think it may also tweak training speed a little, but certainly not much - people get similar results with two dwarf squads, it's just more tedious.

In any case it can be disabled by opening dfhack.init (in the DF folder) with a text editor and commenting out "tweak military-training" by adding a "#" as the first character on the line.

Very nice work! 

I have always been a staunch fan of Masterwork, but lately, I've been getting kind of nostalgic for Ye Olden Days of learning the play on LNB and was looking for nice little pack that came with all of the bundled utilities.

Thanks both! Do play some more to see before I change something, now I at least know how to. Just playing with 2 dwarf sqauds still, my rutine, and that would be nice to not need to do, feels a lot more realistic.

I've done some more work on the old windows GUI, it now remembers GUI options when changing graphics sets.
Lazy Newb Pack - V17 (unofficial) Source Code

[PeridexisErrant]

Woah. For clarity, this means that changing graphics *only* changes graphics, and nothing else?

[daveralph1234]

Init and d_init options that aren't on the GUI will still be changed, like embark rectangle size and such, but anything with a button on the GUI will not change.

I've been poking all over the net, and I can't seem to find any reference for one of the options in the current pack.

What does the toggle for "Varied Ground" do?

Nevermind, found it.  It's for the variation in ASCII grasses and floors.
