The mods in this pack should all work fine with the LNP, since it was designed to be used with Lazy Newb Packs. I think a couple of the mods in it were re-organized a bit to make them work with the LNP. And a couple more of them were adjusted to be compatible with each other.

Downloaded for my other laptop, checksumed, changed settings, installed two mods, accidentally included dwarf fortress.exe in mass word editing and couldn't launch...whoops. Didn't realise until it failed to launch that its release r06? Release info isn't on LNP's page yet, only in LNP's changelog.txt. Also noticed in the stderr.txt log, while I was confused, that its stating someone else's user documents; a person starting with M. Guessing that's you Peridexis? Here's the error log, I've replaced the name with "M":

Just to clear up, the game & LNP does work and my LNP path is: C:\Users\"Different username"\Documents\DF2016\PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack 0.43.03-r06\  which is not shown in the stderr.txt and no, there are no other users and no hidden folders of that name.

A third thing: while I was having the 'error' of having a modified and not working DF.exe, LNP on every single launch would ask if I wanted to import user content(On a computer that's never had DF before and had no other LNP folders). Got a lil' annoying, but showed only the first time after I replaced dwarf fortress.exe with a working one. Thanks for all your work regardless, PeridexisErrant!

TL;DR: Downloaded LNP and messed up, discovered its a new version that hasn't been announced yet. Error log shows a different user's path to LNP. Found odd behaviour of LNP when DF.exe is wrong.

Actually Pidgeot - it's the path where the binary version was compiled.  He knows and is OK with this, and it should be fixed when we update the "compiler".

It should only ask if you have nothing in the df/data/save/ folder, so generate a world and it'll stop doing that

Hmm not sure why I'm missing sprites on animals, they use just default ascii stuff, might be that I added Appearance tweaks mod?

[jecowa]

I don't think Appearance Tweaks does anything that would mess up creature graphics. What graphics pack are you using? And what version of the Starter Pack are you using?

[Prismaa]

Default/phoebus and seems to be newest r6? according to download, if I do fresh install without adding said mod I have sprites hmm I think it messes up something.

Appearance Tweaks makes extensive modifications to a vanilla file (creature_standard.txt), but the actual creature IDs are not changed, and those are what are used to assign graphic sprites.  Even if Phoebus was overwriting creature_standard.txt with its own version, the graphics should still work anyway.  If you can go into a bit of detail about which graphics seem to be wrong (animals, professions, whatever), I'd love to hear about it over in the mod's thread for troubleshooting.

How do I get dfhack to run things on map load?

I tried to edit the onmapload .init files, but the launcher resets it on startup.

edit: Do I edit the ones in the LNP\extras directory? (assuming they're copied from there)  Will try when I can..

Create your own files, called (eg) "onLoad<mynamehere>.init"

[lethosor]

The launcher should probably be using files like those too, rather than overwriting the ones with the default names.

[PeridexisErrant]

It does, with "_PyLNP" as the name. I also have a few small files with "PeridexisErrant", for settings not toggled by the launcher.

@DAOWAce - *like* the ones in the extras directory, but you have to put them in the DF directory.

Thanks! I tried to google about it but didn't seem to hit this page, or missed it entirely.

No more manually starting a bunch of stuff every load, yay!

[lethosor]

Oh, were you editing the _PyLNP files? I might have misunderstood, sorry.
