Its nice seeing this is still a thing after quite a while.

Ive an issue though: no matter what i set the win/full X/Y values to, i end up with really and i do mean REALLY small text. Zooming the game window proper works still, except for any recentering event becoming broken for some reason, but the interface and dfhack details remain miniscule. Tried looking for the answer someplace else, but search comes up with lke 4-6 year old threads that dont help at all.
Using phoebus if that helps.

..why is there a link to this very thread in the OP??

You can (iirc) zoom while on a screen with text only, but the best option is to choose a larger FONT tileset (see the graphics>customise tab)

The OP gets copy-pasted around a bit, so better to have a recursing link than a missing one!

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.42.06-r02!

The main post seems outdated, which has resulted in at least one confused lazy newb . I might suggest amending it to at least include mention that we have a 'cutting-edge' version available? Apparently I can't read. It's there, it just doesn't mention the version number associated with it! 

Oh, also, have another obligatory "thank you for all this hard work" comment!

I've been distracted by school the past few weeks, so I'm just checking in and I notice the stable pack is still 40.24. Has something gone wrong with getting DFHack or one of the other utilities up to snuff, or has life gotten in the way?

op is slightly outdated Starter pack, not

[Salkryn]

I know about the cutting edge pack, but last time I was on PE was saying that once DFHack was sorted it would probably be stable enough to make the .42 version the primary version, as opposed to the 40.24 pack that PE still recommends for complete beginners as it's liable to be less of a hassle.

[Raven]

I'm playin the 42.06 version with dfhack and never had issues, but maybe is better to wait for a stable branch

[Dirst]

It's quite stable for vanilla, but even the bleeding edge pack has DFHack off by default until it comes out in a non-alpha version.

As far as I can tell, PE is ready to go once DFHack is declared stable (for DFHack).

[PeridexisErrant]

The OP is correct and up to date, I do still suggest the 40.24 pack for new players.  The cutting-edge pack is linked, but I deliberately keep version numbers out of the top post to minimise editing (and thus mistakes).

Due to ongoing reports of crashes for some players, any 42.xx pack will remain in Beta until DFHack is a full release version.

[lethosor]

It's worth noting that a stable DFHack release won't fix the crashes currently caused by TwbT (I'm not sure how far the investigation has progressed on those).

[Pvt. Pirate]

could it be possible that the current stable version has outdated DFHack plugins?
"File version:    0.40.24-r20
For DF version:    0.40.24"

when starting it writes 4 warning lines
"Warning: Plugin automaterial compiled for DFHack 0.40.24-r4-55-g3330225, running DFHack v0.40.24-r5-0-g3330225
Warning: Plugin mousequery compiled for DFHack 0.40.24-r4-55-g3330225, running DFHack v0.40.24-r5-0-g3330225
Warning: Plugin resume compiled for DFHack 0.40.24-r4-55-g3330225, running DFHack v0.40.24-r5-0-g3330225

also the game crashed upon building a bridge. - without DFHack it just went fine building that bridge.

[lethosor]

That looks like an issue with TwbT and the 3 other modified plugins it distributes. I don't think that's necessarily the cause of the crash, but you could try disabling TwbT temporarily and see if that helps.

[Pvt. Pirate]

it didnt crash when i didnt use DFHack. without TWBT the game becomes almost unwatchable. i don't want to get instant eyecancer i'll try that though.

after the bridge was built without DFHack, i was able to play with all plugins active again.
soon i'll have everything prepared to build the second bridge - wish me luck!

DFHack hooks into Dwarf Fortress in the same way some viruses modify programs on the operating system. It's a pretty common false positive and there's not much that can be done about it other than to ignore it.

[lethosor]

Actually, the problem is more often PyLNP, which unpacks part of itself on launch. (Reports of false positives from the normal DFHack downloads are also pretty uncommon.)
