Awesome, thanks PeridexisErrant.

Okay, I'm a bit paranoid now. Why is it that when I save (or generate worlds), it starts to do the standard "Not Responding" thing? >w> I'm scared it will crash and I will lose progress. is it just the single-processor being overwhelmed or what?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   The quick answer is yes. Just don't touch it so Windows doesn't notice. Basically because of all the stuff that now happens in the world while you are actually playing your fortress a bigger load is put on your computer when saving. I advise seasonal autosave as that will not only provide a recent save but also makes the load lighter by constantly saving it at a regular interval. Oh and if you don't mind it, let the world cull unimportant historical figures if you use the advanced world gen. Especially if you go for a large world or a long history (this will also potentially make saving faster).

I'm on Windows 8.1 and can't seem to get DF to load from the Starter Pack, even with DF Hack disabled or on default settings.  I downloaded vanilla DF and it runs fine, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Once again, PE and the DF modding community deliver. Thanks to you guys and Toady for all that you do.

How do i exactly install mods?

I tried adding the armory one, but i can't see any new weapons/armors on my enbark screen.

So far i've installed button's raws, plantfixes and stal's armory pack, both button's raws and plantfixes appear green, and stal's armory pack appears yellow, what does this mean? conflicts?

What about the "simplify mods" button?

You can add mods to the pack by adding the folders to /LNP/Mods/; and then install them to DF by combining them in the upper list and hitting the "install mods" button.

The upper listbox is mods which are combined, but you need to hit the "install mods" button at the lower right to cop them to the DF folder.  It was labelled "installed" because it starts with the installed mods list, but I can see how it would be confusing (it'll be changed to "merged").

Yellow means minor issues; from memory it's added files rather than just editing them.

Simplify mods removes files that aren't needed; I've already done this but if you add a mod bundled with DF you can use that button to reduce file size.

I think the mod installer's a little wonky... Installing button's raws makes the stuff inside graphics folder disappear, most raws are gone, and of course the game won't work like that, etc.

Just giving you some input, i know it's beta, nice addition though, looking forward to see it more steamlined.

Also, the mods work if i just install them manually, right? I mean, the ones that come with LNP.

This i my first patch just started with 40_19 or whatever it was last week so I don't know this: Is my current save 100% compatible with upcoming patches? If not can I use my embark location day 0 save?

As to the OP you are so awesome man, thanks for all the work.

I'd appreciate screenshots of this, to avoid miscommunication.  The /raw/graphics/ folder will be empty or nonexistent, but this isn't a bug - just that it can't also merge graphics yet.

They should work by drag-and-drop over the DF folder, but merge compatibility will be FAR lower that way so one only.  I also haven't tested or vetted them in any way, and know nothing more than what five minutes on DFFD turned up just before release.

Peridexis, you're awesome. Keep up the great work.

[Nokao]

From this various posts I read there are some problems on the pack, can you confirm ?

Or can someone upload/overwrite the fixed version ?

[PeridexisErrant]

The previous version (40_23 r1) was broken. It has already been fixed and replaced.

Thanks Peredexis!

Okay I've got it running, but only when I boot DF directly from its own executable within the Starter Pack's folder.  If I boot it from the Starter Pack, it just hangs at a blank white window and crashes.  Changing DF's compatibility settings to Windows 7 also appear to create the problem as well.  Thoughts?
