After a while I wanted to press some other ALT related key in some other menu, I don't remember. I didn't think anything of it just "Ah great that doesn't work either", playing on like the stubborn dwarfs I command.
Well until today when I loaded up the game again, and the answer stared me in the face. Quickfort. Quickfort with its nice tooltip. I closed it, everything was fine.
So QF for some reason intercepts the ALT related keys.
So thats about it, again I hope it helps somebody
...I'll add a warning to the QF tooltip. In the medium term, DFHack will probably implement all of Quickfort's functions, and then I'll drop it entirely.
Anybody know the current state of the 40.24 release for the Starter Pack?
Probably a couple of days before 0.40.25 comes out. Seems to be the pattern with the Starter Pack, not that I mind too much!
"Coming soon", or "no". It'll be out shortly after DFHack, once TwbT updates. I don't know how long that'll take, as there are still a few global variables to track down in memory for Windows - and I leave that magic to the experts. On the other hand, the next DF version is likely to be a bit longer, since Toady is off working on a big update.
I've been using PyLNP but for some reason goblin invasions ceased to arrive. ... I would recommend a warning when pop cap is dialed down below 80 (possibly with a reference to the wiki or the variables for the daring users).
I'll pass this along; it's a good idea.
The issue that I have with it is this: the Mods tab doesn't show mods like Therapist and Stonesense. I have stuff like plantfixes and Wanderer available but can't find the other ones anywhere...
Btw...I tried "Create Mod from Installed" thinking that they might be installed and just not shown. But it seems like I only created a combination of the ones already in the list. And it seems to be impossible to delete them afterwards. Would be cool to add a delete option.
Therapist and Stonesense are utilities, not mods - Therapist can be launched from the utilities tab. Stonesense is built into DFHack, so to launch it type "stonesense" into the console after launching DF.
You can delete mods by deleting the folders (under "LNP/Mods/"). I don't provide a button because making mods unavailable may have unexpected impacts on graphics switching etc. in the new PyLNP.
