Hi all. For those still playing v34.11, the legacy starter pack has received it's last-ever update.
It will be available indefinitely on this page.A combination of things have combined to end things here:
- almost all new development is focussed on support for v40.xx and its new features
- 40.05 will have more bugfixes than any other release since (at least) 2009, and when released tomorrow will spell the end of 34.11 as most-stable version
- the above mean it's no longer worth the time and energy to maintain a second pack
But this is no reason for sadness! This last release integrates the graphics breakthroughs of the last 34.11 days, allowing you to use
Text will be Text (including multilevel view and item sprites) with any graphics packs. It also includes a modded version of the Stonesense overlay, which is compatible with the TwbT rendered so you can switch smoothly between them and even have clear text in the sidebar!
The last changelog for a 34.11 Starter Pack:
- updated Dwarf Therapist to v22.0; improved roles and optimiser, many other tweaks
- using custom stonesense version that is compatible with TwbT
- changed all graphics settings for TwbT compatibility (except ASCII default)
- activated Text will be Text for all graphics packs (except ASCII default)
- updated TwbT to v3.31

I'll admit there's a touch of nostalgia involved... but mostly, I'm excited. After all - this legacy pack is already on a different page, and falling further behind on a daily basis. From tomorrow, I'm recommending that everyone, players old and new, jump straight in to the newest version. Don't cower in the safe old mountainhomes; get out there and strike the earth!
