That's all Text Will Be Text.

Is that a plugin? I'm not sure how to install that.

Are you not playing the latest version of the starter pack? Make sure in the launcher the print_mode is set to either TWBT or TWBT_LEGACY. Any of the other options 2d for example won't activate text will be text. Or you may be wondering why the multilayer view isn't as deep as it use to be or why the shadows aren't as dark as they use to be.

You'll want to open up dfhack.init which is in Dwarf Fortress 40_xx Starter Pack r1\Dwarf Fortress 0.40.xx and there you will see multilevel xx it's not recommended to go more than 10 and 5-6 is better for fps. That is what you will want to edit to see more z levels below.

Thanks for the reply. I opened the dfhack.init and added a '5' after the multilevel, tried the print mode in both TWBT and Legacy, and i can still only see 2 levels at a time. I also just noticed that dfhack's first error message is 'multilevel is not a recognized comand'. I am sad. I also turned off antivirus to no effect, but still. Also im using the most recent 40.23 starter pack r2 and not the 40.11 r3.

Are there any other messages in dfhack console in red or yellow? Also post your init.txt here.

Does "plugins/twbt.dll" exist? I think your antivirus deleted it.

There comes a point when you just want to exclude your entire DF folder from scanning.  However, if you're using one of those "trust-based" antivirus systems, it will notice as users white-list the files and eventually stop harassing people who download it later.

Everyone who likes to be an early adopter of DF or its starter packs should take a moment to learn how to undelete and whitelist files with their antivirus software.

Yeah, dfhack folder is messed up, you tried to combine .19 with .23. 
My advice is to go with a clean .23 pack, only copy your save games to the new one, then use the launcher to install the graphics and select print mode TWBT.

Yes! That fixed it. Thank you, and thank everyone else who tried to help stupid me.

Hi, should I wait until 40_24 or is this comparable with the latest DF version? (Rather confused if the bugfixes from .24 are included).

[Putnam]

They're not. Not sure where you got the idea that they are...

Sorry, but it was updated 9 days ago, thought PeridexisErrant would have updated it yet but just made minor changes to the existing file. My bad...

He ca'n't update the Pack until Dwarf Therapist and DFHack are updated, which can take longer than many things because it involves reverse-engineering the memory space the game uses every time there's an update.

Ahh, thank you for explaining. Should I wait for the next patch or just jump straight in? I have a tendency to stop playing when I need to "update" to a newer version...

Jump right in - DF won't be finished for decades yet, and the current pack is good.

OMW! And thank you for picking up the lazynewb pack. You're bringing joys to hundreds that can't be bothered the microing.

Hi,

the Starter-Pack is  REALLY great for DF-newbies like me   thanks a lot!!

But a quick question if I may: would it be possible to add the "standardized" mods of Meph  (standardized wood, standardized leathers, etc) into the pack (maybe with option to undo)?

Especially for people like me who just start with DF, all the different (more or less "same") items are a great problem to get a start to the game... so it would be great for a STARTER pack when this could be included, getting an easier "how to play" with the option to undo the changes and play like a profi
