Just installed r4. My livestock and animal assignment lists no longer show genders! Help!  Is there an easy setting for this?

No idea what's happening here, but I think it's probably a dfhack change - the starter pack is running dfhack defaults on this. 

I'm not aware of any zone-related changes. Dusty328, what version of DFHack were you using before? If you were using DFHack 0.34.11-r5, it's possible that that version of this pack included versions of Falconne's plugins (including zone) that weren't merged into the official DFHack repo.

I like that site zoom has been disconnected from menu text zoom - but i cant figure out how to enlarge my font for the menu's - its just a tad small to keep staring at.

so on the risk of asking a real silly question:

What command can i use to 'zoom' the font size in the menus.
I have searched the forums and have looked at the keybinds file but that didnt help me along.
the 'special zoom' does something unclear - but not text.

the normal [ ] only zooms the map - (although in the main menu of DF it DOES zoom text size]

I am using 40.13 r4
Peridexiserrant keybindings
mayday of phoebus grapics (tried both)

D0rf on

edit: for other people having this problem: A workaround is: ESC to main menu and use [ and ] to zoom font size there. It persists when you return to menu.

[PeridexisErrant]

Not a silly question at all - it's not always clear what component does what.

In this case, text is done by the dfhack addon "Text will be Text".  You can adjust the size of the text tiles with dfhack, by typing "twbt tilesize 8 12"  Those numbers will restore the default size.  I suggest trying "12 18" as an increment that should scale well. 

It's also possible to just use another tileset, but I don't have a suggestion for that.  If you do, just add it to /data/art/ and update the FONT tag in init.txt

As well as setting TWBT_LEGACY, you'll also need to find a tileset that has these symbols to set as FONT - otherwise you'll just have fuzzy and stretched ascii, and even with the required tileset I don't think it's worth it to have large and ill-kerned text.

What? In legacy mode world map will use GRAPHICS_FONT.

And the text, using FONT, will be rescaled from 8x12 to 16x16 and look fuzzy.

Yep, but the words "that has these symbols" above are wrong.

No, this command adjust the size of graphics font. Probably I'll add a command to adjust the text size so that you can bind it to a key. In the meanwhile @Burakin found the correct workaround himself.

I'm having a serious issue with this pack: Certain keys activate modded features that conflict with default keybindings, but only sometimes. Other times it works perfectly. So far I've noticed the following.

- Using q on a bed then trying to 'create bedroom' with r will open a weird, blank menu. I have to esc out of it to actually make the bedroom, and it's a pain in the butt when making lots of bedrooms.

- Using s for the quad menu opens a menu that does something I can't recall. I have to esc out to get to the squads menu.

- Pressing m activates a menu that lists the material preferences of dwarves. Pressing esc to exit it does not take me to the military screen, just the default top menu. This makes it impossible to access the military screen so long as the bug is active.

This is driving me crazy. Have I messed something up somewhere? How do I make it stop?

Are you alt tabbing while playing dwarf fortress? Just try it before you alt tab or try it and when it does mess up like you say go back to the main screen where you see the dwarves and can pause/ resume then do w.e and it shouldn't mess up.

Any time you press alt it isn't released by dfhack until it is pressed again (idk) or used to access one of the dfhack menus.

[lethosor]

Does that problem only occur with DFHack, or can it occur with DF keybindings as well (for example, binding the buildings menu to Alt-M)?

I do alt-tab a lot. That sounds like it's it, except for the bit about it releasing alt when you use one of the menus; it'll open up the menus for me multiple times in a row.

I run into similar problems if I have QuickFort running.

That problem doesn't occur for me anyways I can press alt and alt tab and none of the dfhack menus popup for me on windows 7 64 bit. They work if I hold alt while I press the key they need. (Maybe this is a xp issue? or maybe the issue is fixed and I didn't know that. I've technically never "seen it" with my own eyes, but I do use full screen windowed mode so that could be it but there's no issue when I do press f11 to activate fullscreen and tab)

I can't say what/why you are having those issues pyro I can't duplicate them, it could be something to do with something in r4 (I only have r2/r3 but the dfhack versions are the same) OR possibly your hotkeys, I use Peridexis hotkeys as it allows z layer movement with the mousewheel.

@salithus Hmm could be the problem because those commands use alt + w.e do they not? From what I've seen, I don't have excel so I don't use quickfort. Maybe I do but it's starter edition and very unfriendly to use it with that version.

Yeah, I didn't dig into it because :effort:, but there's definitely something in qf that's intercepting the alt key handling. I quit (or suspend) it and things work fine.

I'm actually running in windowed more, if that helps.

I also don't think I'm running quickfort, but DF hack seems to have some version of it built in. I'll have to try killing the QF process if there is one.

[PeridexisErrant]

DFHack has "digfort", which is basically QF-lite.

The alt-tab issue is fixed the first time you tap 'alt', so it's easy to fix or miss. 

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Quick question, In my latest fort with r4 when I try to follow a dwarf instead of centering the screen it puts the dwarf I am following just off screen to the right. Does anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?
