Re: Expanded LNP - a single download with everything (r35)

Glad I could help!

The default tileset is ASCII (actually code page 43, which describes icons instead of binary encoding of characters) and comes in a number of different sizes - DF as downloaded from Toady uses the 8x12 pixel tileset. For the LNP, I configured it to use the 16x16 pixel edition which is also included in the same stock download. I consider this more newb friendly - since one of the top complaints I've seen about the vanilla set is that it isn't square, and most of the LNP sets are 16x16, and given the clear labels for size of tiles both stock and not misleading (I do see where you're coming from, but it's an unusual position to see the difference and not already know the cause).

You can get a very similar view by zooming out a bit with iirc the square brackets; not too far or mousequery starts missing the edges and acting a bit odd.

Alternatively you can restore the unmodified stock 8x12 tileset by editing either init or d_init under Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11/data/init - if you look up tilesets on the wiki there's a good guide there.

I hope that helps!

Ninja edit: no, it's not the graphics line - that determines the special tiles usable for units. In this pack it will have no effect, because there are no such unit tiles to use. Different resolution is the issue.

I'd just like to say that being both lazy and a newbie this utility has been greatly appreciated - I think I've actually started to get a hang on this game now!

Partly true, you can see on the screenshot that instead of the smiley faces the game loads the dwarves.bmp from the raw/graphics/examples folder.

Oops. I'll get rid of those for whenever the next version is...  And turn the graphics off in the meantime.

Fricy is right, after somes tests I have to change the "init" file AND put [GRAPHIC:NO] to get vanilla ASCII. Thank you both for these tips :)

Peridexis,

Thanks for putting this all together. I appreciate it thoroughly. It's made my time getting back into DF a hundred fold easier then collecting the errant bits myself.

Do you mind if I build a tutorial and point people at your download as a place to start?  I would assume you wouldn't, but there's no reason not to ask if you have a reason you'd prefer I'd wait for a later release.

Kip - thanks for the tip, I'll do both for the next release.

WanderingKid - I don't mind at all, and I don't release to a schedule, it's just when I've picked up enough to justify the upload. I'd prefer it if you can note which version you're using to avoid confusion, and maybe a note that there are equivalent packs I link to for other platforms, but go nuts - I certainly don't want to control anything or stop people enjoying DF.    ^_^

@Roastbeef: Thanks for reporting! Did you post the entire error message in your post? I can't really tell for sure what is causing this problem.

Like @Roastbeef, I too am enjoying the convenience of this sweet, sweet pack. And like @Roastbeef, it throws me an error:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's all there is. It is probably of interest to note that I'm running linux:

Code: [Select]
$ uname -a
Linux kh4250-06 3.2.0-52-generic #78-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 26 16:21:44 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hope this is helpful. If there's anything other info I can provide, let me know!

EDIT:
LNP: lazy-newbpack-gui-0.5.3-SNAPSHOT.jar

Yeah thats the whole thing. It started one night, so I was like no biggie ill just delete everything and extract again. That didn't work. Then I re downloaded the whole thing and it throws the same error. Really strange. I'm on Windows 8, and above me he's on Linux so....... weird

The download don't work for me. The download of the original LNP is ok but it's not possible for me to dl the Expanded one.

I have tried to dl it from my android device and I have this message : "Incomplete download query. Cancelled"

Hope this will help.

You probably just fell victim to a poor connection - this is almost three times larger than the outdated version, so hopefully if you do the usual turn off/on and try again later trick that'll work.  I've heard occasional complaints about the hosting too but there's not much I can suggest to help with that. 

To anyone who'd like to host a mirror somewhere - that would be fine with me, but it has to stay up to date; the reason this pack exists is I got sick of how outdated the alternatives were.  I'd do it myself if my upload was faster or even just more reliable, but until early next year when fiber arrives I'm not going to manage that too.

I am sorry for asking such a silly question, but how do I zoom in or out with this pack? mousewheel seems to move z-levels now, and I'm really confused
