Hey wondering if anyone can give me a quick overview of the differences between keybinding styles? or maybe point me to one that would be good for a laptop with no numpad? thnxs

I foolishly removed my 40.19 folder, so now forced to try and get 40.23 to work somehow... :/ Hoping for a quick resolution!

Hey, I was scanning my whole pc after getting a virus and malwarebytes is detecting a spyware in the starter pack. It's saying the Zeu$ trojan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus_%28Trojan_horse%29) is in the dwarf fortress 40_19 starter pack r3/dwarf fortress 0.40.19/hack/plugins/buildingplan.plug.dll file. Any information on this? I'm assuming it's just a false positive but it's weird that it's detecting it as a pretty well known spyware.

Thank you for your hard work with this starter pack.

There's a problem with TWBT in this version. As soon as I maximize the window, or load a fortress, the game crashes.

Edit: just seen the temp solution on page 138. but it crashes as well

Hey, I'm having a problem with the latest update, I can load into DF and create worlds fine but when I actually embark, DF crashes and the game has both the vanilla ASCII tiles and Graphics pack tiles visible.

Confirmed, TWBT is unstable on windows, TWBT_LEGACY works, but looks shitty with the default font.

Temp. solution:
1. Install any graphics.
2. Select Print_mode: TWBT_LEGACY
3. Go to Customization and select curses_square_24x24.png
4. Profit!

Thanks! I'd never had a problem loading any of the packs before, but DF kept crashing with the error message "Not found: data/art/curses_640x300.png" at startup. Even after installing and updating tilesets, DF would crash at loading any savegame with half the screen Phoebus and half ASCII. Changing TWBT seemed to do the trick. And my antivirus really did not like this pack. Had to mess around with Norton a while before I could get it to stop quarantining random things. That being said, thanks for everything you do Peridexiserrant! I can't tell you how much more enjoyable these packs have made DF for me.

Thanks that worked, incase anyone else wanted to know you copy paste the dll from the .23 pack folder and drop it inside of Dwarf Fortress 0.40.23\hack\plugins

Thanks! Just going to have to deal with the annoying default font until r2 is released!

May I ask why this was renamed to "Starter Pack"? I think this name is too generic, given that this is not the only pack ("MacNewbie Pack", "Lazy Newb Pack Linux", "Lazy Newb Pack Installer for Linux", and "PeridexisErrant's Dwarf Fortress Starter Pack" are more descriptive, although it would be nice to make it clearer that this pack is for Windows as well). The difference between "Lazy Newb Pack" and "Starter Pack" may be obvious to long-time members of the DF community, but it clearly isn't to the countless new players that have been confusing different packs and posting in the wrong threads. For example, several people have reported the recent (Windows) TwbT problem in the Linux LNP update announcement on /r/dwarffortress (and that version of that pack doesn't even contain TwbT).

The folder inside the .zip is titled r1 instead of r2. I don't know if it is r1 or if you just didn't rename it. (or possibly a mess up with the dl)

[lethosor]

If the launcher has a mods tab, it's most likely r2.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Not seeing a mod tab.

Edit: going to redl and see if it comes in correct

Edit2: It downloaded as r2 this time

[OzoneGrif]

Thanks for the update.

TWBT still crashes when I resize the window (or maximize it), but if I don't touch the window, it works now.

I also have a lua error when I load my save, I'm not sure how important it is :

Code: [Select]

Starting autonestbox.
...RF_~1\DWARFF~1\Dwarf Fortress 0.40.23\hack\lua\utils.lua:595: error: invalid

        (...tail calls...)
Edit: I changed init.txt to resize the window before start, and it works like a charm now :
