Is there an email group or something I can subscribe to that will tell me when a new pack releases? Don't really want to check here too often.

Yep,  get a DFFD account and "watch" the file.

Nice, thanks.

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.42.06-r03! As usual, you can get it here.

This update has been an unusually long time coming, but I think it's worth it:  various small to medium improvements, and you can now play a full game of DF in true 3D with Armok Vision.  Yes, really!  The other exciting news is that with DFHack in beta, we're very nearly back to stable starter packs - which may also enable less cautious experiments 

Until then, as always... Strike the Earth!

0.42.06-r03
 - changed "Gemset" to "GemSet" graphics; fixes display
 - updated Ironhand graphics
 - updated DFHack to beta1
 - updated TwbT
 - updated Armok Vision

Update:  hotfix for utility list in launcher; new sha256 a3202ada28d796291d3b43c5fa3c69ac42b07680289e2b5d370615c02cdaf03f

Is it just me, or did the language raws get re-saved in a character encoding that doesn't preserve the diacritics?  They should be saved in CP 437, so if you open them in an editor that, by default, saves in UTF-8 or something, the diacritics disappear.  Just looking at language_DWARF.txt right now, for example, I see "[T_WORD:AWE-INSPIRING:gostang]" instead of "[T_WORD:AWE-INSPIRING:g•stang]"

Maybe just a quirk of the compression settings you chose for the archive?

Do you have one of the graphics packs installed? They free up the accented characters so they can be used for other items.

I'm just looking at what's in the .zip file, without changing anything.  Both the current and previous version of the Starter Pack come with Phoebus installed by default, but only the current one is missing the diacritics from the raws.

I just updated from 42.06r02.

First caravan that arrived is the infamous "missing/invisible" caravan from the 42.05 release.  Worked fine in 42.06r02.  Just a heads up.

The launcher won't launch for me. I double click it, it shows up in the Task Manager for a few seconds, and then disappears. Tried excluding it from anti-virus, running in compatibility mode and with admin permissions, but doesn't make a difference. This is on Windows 10 64-bit.

Writes me a log file saying:

IOError: Failed to read settings, .\Dwarf Fortress 0.42.06 not really a DF dir?
(there is no "Michael Madsen" directory on my computer)

Any ideas? :/

EDIT: Nevermind. Redownloading and reinstalling twice apparently fixed it ?

I'm currently investigating problems with the utilities tab - it looks like manifests aren't being applied properly.

Is it just me, or did the language raws get re-saved in a character encoding that doesn't preserve the diacritics?  They should be saved in CP 437, so if you open them in an editor that, by default, saves in UTF-8 or something, the diacritics disappear.  Just looking at language_DWARF.txt right now, for example, I see "[T_WORD:AWE-INSPIRING:gostang]" instead of "[T_WORD:AWE-INSPIRING:g•stang]"

No idea what's causing that; nothing should have changed at all.  I'll blame weirdness in the previous (meant-to-be-identical) raws and move on...

Looks like antivirus deleted something crucial like the DF executable, and PyLNP freaked out.  That's just the build path Pidgeot uses, because he's using an old build system that includes absolute paths...  (update to Pyinstaller 3.1 dude!)

Guess what we have now?

We have a stable dfhack release for 0.42.06!

... of course, this happens not long after you update. It seems you are the Oracle of the Updates - either for DF itself, or for dfhack and other "critical" utilities! This joke will never die.

[lethosor]

Most pack maintainers do watch the DFHack thread, by the way (and DT, etc.)

Just how many pack maintainers are there?

(It was sad but not unexpected that one research team was able to get a sufficiently large sample size of former reality show contestants for a study.)

Yay, just waiting on TwbT now.

(Of course I watch all the threads, and I also wrote some tools to check for and download the latest version of everything.)

You can kill a man, dwarf, elf, salt fiend, etc but ideas jokes never die!

Myself, until recently Fricy, and somewhere between zero and five Linux people?  It's hard to keep track, packs tend to come and go.

These are the old DOS-style colors, and I prefer them for a few reasons: brown is prettier, light and dark gray are further apart, and dark colors (particularly blue) are a little easier to see.
