It's like you are stalking me... I looked at what version DF was at last night, and then DFhack's, saw they were not in sync.

Get on the computer today and see this on Reddit, no more than 5 hours after looking to see if I could use dfhack with the current version of DF.

Get out of my head!

(And, like, thanks )

My game has been crashing a couple or few seasons in. I thought it may have been from me migrating everything from the .23 to the .24, so I re-downloaded the entire starter pack, started a new world and a new game. A few seasons into it again and it's crashing. I'm using soundsense and therapist, I let DFhack run though I haven't really used it for anything, phoebus tileset, no aquifers, no entomb pets, process priority high and seasonal autosave on. Other that this, I've left pretty much everything as the default settings. I'm really not sure if this is a vanilla bug, but I figured I'd start here. I poked around a bit looking for a crashlog. The closest thing I've found is the error log. If that or anything else on my end is needed please let me know. Also if this post belongs somewhere else, please point me in the right direction and I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm feeling that a hotfix with the new DFHack may be a good idea.

Just got home, so in a couple of hours...

The Starter Pack has updated to 40_24 r2!  As usual, you can get it here.

Mostly a bugfix release:  DFHack is complete and working well, and I've fixed a formatting issue that broke the DFHack tab in the launcher (along with the dropdowns for links and folders).  A new mirror is available, if little-tested, at http://df.wicked-code.com/

However, I did manage to include some new content too - a 2015 embark profile from CptnDuck's tutorial series, and a very nice new script which improves the 'view item' page.  It can even display ASCII art for items and creatures, so watch that space or lend a hand - Extended Item viewscreen and descriptions - content will be added to the starter pack as comes out.

Strike the Earth!

Changelog:
 - updated DFHack to 40.24-r1; complete release fixes plugin issues
 - added CptnDuck's 2015 embark profile to default set
 - minor fix to hfs-pit.lua
 - updated TwbT to v5.42
 - fixed PyLNP.json; had broken dfhack tab, folders & links lists
 - added script/mod to improve item viewscreens; much more info

Thanks so much for maintaining this, and for this last few updates. I'd been holding off on updating the game until this pack was updated. I'd had a crash the last time I played, which might have been DFHack, or just might have been the fire started by a dragon that was running wild through the forest around my fortress, causing all kinds of cave-ins.

A quick question though. Could I just extra this update right on top of R1? Or should it get a fresh install and then copy data over?

Thanks again.

[Putnam]

Fresh install is always prudent.

I'd go further; you should never extract over another pack.  Instead, extract the new pack to the same folder as the old (so they're 'siblings' in the directory tree) and use the script in the newer pack to copy your data to the new pack.

Man... the new location for DFFD improved the download speed by a factor of two million

I was in a hurry to play the game, so I went with the copy option, so I could get in and deal with some messes I had left my dwarves with. When I get a chance, I'll try the clean install. So far this new update is working very well.

Thanks against for the update :3

I have a question! In this version, when I go to View creature then Thoughts and Preferences, there's an ASCII Art picture of the dwarf.
Sadly, it's quite buggy right now.

Is this from DFHack or from the vanilla game? Can it be disabled ?

[PeridexisErrant]

Yep, that's a new dfhack script - and it's being updated fast, so hopefully it won't be buggy for long.

You can disable it by commenting out the last line in extra_dfhack_init.init ("nb_item_info...").

Never mind

I use the Phoebus graphic set, is there any way to turn off or customize the engraving tilesets? They are super distracting, actually one of the main reasons I don't use the vanilla graphics.

[Putnam]

It's in the d_init.txt file, called ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED. It's completely independent of graphics and you can turn it off with vanilla graphics. You can also turn it off with d->v.

AKA not a very good reason to not use vanilla graphics, since it's completely unrelated to vanilla graphics
