Importing world from 40.23 into 40.19 is possible? It doesn't matter that much, I'm already created new world. Old one had so many necromants doing nothing but writing legendary books.

No. Once you've saved a world, you can't load it into an older version.

When will the pack with the latest DF version be available?

I'd say a week, give or take three months.

well the update didn't change *much*, is possible to copy the new version into the current pack?

Well, there's one way to find out. Make backups of your save games and give it a try.

You can copy the images folder and the executable into a download of vanilla DF and it will work. You'll get the LNP GUI and graphics packs, but you won't have Therapist, DFhack, and many other utilities (Quickfort and Picturefort still work fine, but I don't know about any of the others). I've been doing this while I wait for the newest pack to come out, the game runs fine its just a pain in the ass not having Therapist.

Detailed instuctions on how to do that about 20 posts up. (page 135 for me)

I know nothing about programing so forgive the back seat driving but shouldnt the modmakers get together with Toady and integrate things like dfhack and therapist into the base game so every new version doesnt break the past versions? Isnt it time to bring these pieces together ?

A good - if off-topic - place to ask, because this is one of those topics that can often turn flamey.

The short answer is that it doesn't work like that; even Toady would have to work more like "reimplement" than "integrate". He also prefers to work on his own stuff (for personal and IP reasons) and is focussed on simulation features for now, since he sees the game as about 40 percent of the way to beta. Ultimately I think this works well, as he does work that no one can replace and we can fiddle with the edges.

He does however take suggestions - which are often refined through mod implementations - and Moddershall can often track and precisely describe a bug for Toady to fix. Further info is searchable, but I'd ask that further discussion happen in a different thread.

Hey, a recommendation for the Pack:  an option to nerf the weirdly powerful weapons like the whip.

The mods interface I've come up with should be out in the next few weeks, and this kind of bugfixing will be a priority.

Very cool.  Thanks for all the effort.

I just started coming back to DF after a LONG break... and um... There's no GUI in the 40_19 and I can't find a way to start the utilities in the nice format so I can actually EDIT things like what tileset is used and actually getting the utilities to start up upon starting the game.

TLDR; I have no way of opening up LNP to edit the tileset and change population limits and so on.

There's no GUI

Your antivirus ate it.
