A couple of minor nitpicks regarding r20 and r2:
- r20 contains an extra version folder (i.e. Dwarf Fortress 20_24 Starter pack r20 inside a folder with the same name).
- r2 doesn't contain any version folder at all (i.e. the DF folder, launcher, etc are directly at the top of the zip).

Neither of these are important except to very green newbies, but given the pack's name...

- r2 world gen now uses the Phoebus graphics out of the box, while previous versions (can't speak for r1) have used ASCII at that level and Phoebus within the embark. Is that intentional or just a side effect of something?

And consider the above to be twisted praise: I wouldn't report this if I didn't think your work was valuable or worthwhile... The time from DF release to LNP release(s) was incredibly short!

That happened due to TWBT (Text Will Be Text), a DFHack Plugin. Since DFHack hasn't been updated yet, the plugin isn't being used, and thus the tilesets are being used for the embark screen as default.

Out of curiosity, what are the criteria for switching over to the next version for the "official" version of the pack as opposed to the...I guess "beta"? Is it when DFHack and Therapist are up, since those are probably the two most essential plugins for newbies, or is it when the new release is relatively stable?

Thanks!  Raul is correct; this is the way graphics usually work without TwbT - it should be back in a week or two.  40_24 r20 is consistent with all the previous packs in that series; I'm using the natural break of a major DF version to rework my packaging system a little.  I hope to move the copy-from-old-pack functions into PyLNP, for example.

Both, actually.  They tend to coincide; at that point I'll try to get a full-featured and stable pack, then move 40.24-r20 to an archive page.  Further work will then continue in an unstable branch until or unless things have settled down enough to do all the updates on the mainline pack.

I think this was about 0.40.10-r2 last time, and took maybe two months?

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.42.01-r03!  As usual, you can get it here.

A relatively minor update; just adds a graphics pack and ensures that PyLNP will recognise that your saves can have new graphics applied.  Strike the Earth!

^ You're a hero man. (Dyslexia prevents my playing of ASCII DF)

[thriftshopmusketeer]

So I am getting a Trojan warning from the new pack.

Is this something I should worry about, or an overzealous security system? And will the quarantine hamper my ability to play?

I can't seem to get the screenshot to attach but the file in question is thus:

 C:\Users\Nicholas\Desktop\DF\LNP\utilities\Announcement Window\AnnouncementWindow.exe

If in doubt, just delete it.  I think it's a false-positive, but I'm biased...

Did a fresh install of the new build and it tells me the index file is missing or corrupted but the file is defs there. Hmm. Redownloading to try again.

Update: redownloaded pack and it still occured. Downloaded DF separately and extracted over the one included in the pack and that fixed it.

 mine was also doing that and that is also how I fixed it

Yeeeees LNP you legend of a thing you. PTW so I can find this again.

Bizarre, it appears to be a decompression error.  I can reproduce it with 42.02, but 42.01 works fine!  I'll just fix it manually in packs for this version, I guess.

What's the checksum of data/index, and what does it contain when decoded?

[PeridexisErrant]

What's the checksum of data/index, and what does it contain when decoded?

I think this is an issue with the Python3 zipfile module, or at least that's where it seems to creep into my code.  There's some very old text/binary handling there, so...

The two files are reproduced here as base64-encoded bytes.  They diverge after the section "HI98Z5m", about a third of the way through.  It's being unzipped by this function, which correctly handles the index file for 40.24, 42.01, and every other file I've tested it on.
