INSTRUCTIONS:
3. Don't panic if it seems graphics aren't working - menus and text are meant to use ascii tiles now.

Aw crap... that means I missed the note... unless you just added that?

Blinking? Maybe something a little less obnoxious like a huge animated GIF :)

My suggestion would be a one-time pop-up in the launcher itself, perhaps when the Play button is pushed for the first time.  It can be used for any significant change in the future, when the message changes, it resets the read-once flag.

I'm having a strange problem with 40.19r3 i also had with 40.11 of this pack- the zip opening says the zip ends unexpectedly, there is only the .bat for old versions and the .exe launcher, and when trying to extract it gives unknown format or is damaged, and the .exe can't be used. Redownloading does not fix this.  Win8.1
How big is the downloaded file? If you can check it, what's its MD5 checksum?

According to DFFD, it should be 71.3 MB (and the checksum should be DE363849ACF2B5103D08538D60A19529). This looks like it's a problem with your download.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

Indeed...

Then again - you can probably play without Therapist much more easily now, and it might be a while before DFHack updates what with changes to jobs and labors.

I could play without DFhack, I just like using it's tools, but for me, DT is absolutely neccesary.

due to the entire job system getting an overhaul I'm betting it will be easier without DT. Not great, but we shouldn't have to be as specific about things like hauling labors.

I mainly prefer DTs interface to the ingame one, plus it has lots of other useful things.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Just a quick question, searched around a bit but it's hard compress the problem into a few keywords:

All important announcements zoom to a specific point of the map, regardless of their actual location.
Same with the zoom on unit command (the u z way), this one is the main problem.

Does anyone have a clue what could be the cause?

Are you getting that in vanilla DF?

It's one of the 'known issues' of TWBT. After zooming, press left/right (or up/down) arrow keys and the view should jump to the right position, with cursor on the unit/location.
