Thank you PeridexisErrant for all your hard work. This pack makes life so much easier for all of us DF addicts.

[PeridexisErrant]

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.42.06-r04! As usual, you can get it here.

Everything is stable!  As happened at the last major version, I've moved the final pack for 0.40 to the previous unstable link, and the new stable pack is back at the normal link (above).  This should ensure people get an update prompt, and hopefully only a few will accidentally downgrade...

I'm now suggesting 42.06 as the version for new players as well as the experienced - so don't hesitate to strike the earth!

0.42.06-r04
 - updated DFHack to stable version
 - updated TwbT

Hey PeridexisErrant,

Just started your starterpack version 0.42.06-r03, and it said there was an update. The open in browser button links to : http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11309 (file version: 0.40.24-r20, the outdated one) instead of the r04 site.

Thank you PE.  Nothing witty to say about it this time, but a lot of gratitude.

Uuh ... I just got a "Fatal Error Missing Color Definition" ...

This seems to have happened before with DF, but I'm not sure if this were a LNP problem or basic DF.
I saved the game earlier and now I can't load the world. It was generated with the same DF (42.06), but the last version of LNP.

Can this be fixed or is the world lost ?

Hell of a nice work, as ever. Thanks, PE!

Have you tried the work around to load the save with the same LNP version it was saved with? That ought to let you continue before those who actually know anything about how it works can give you an answer about the error.

Hi, I just recently got back into dwarf fortress and downloaded this pack.  I'm having a problem though, I can't seem to disable DFhack plugins without going into the files and manually changing them.  This is troubling to me as I want to experience the vanilla game without DFhack and I've already encountered a few spoilers just reading up on how to disable the damn thing which, along with the added complexity without even mastering the base game, is exactly why I dislike DFhack.  I find one and only one plugin useful from DFhack and that is the TWBT plugin.  Is there a way I can disable all DFhack functionality EXCEPT TWBT?

[ragincajun]

Is TWBT still causing crashes?  I'm trying to use that again and suffering crashes again...had disabled that and gone to 2D instead on prior versions when it was suggested that TWBT had issues.

Seems as if the Ironhand graphic set is experiencing some issues. It doesn't load for the menu or for world generation, but once you get into game its magically Ironhand graphics.

I personally like ASCII in world map.  I honestly thought that was a feature of twbt.  Is it not?

[Pvt. Pirate]

i don't think the crashes are caused by the packs, but by some plugin involved in how it's rendered. TWBT might be the cause, but i wouldnt play without it!
TWBT in Worldmap is great, keeping it ASCII while the real gameoworld is changed.
i wouldn't ever play without it.

Yes, the ASCII world map is a deliberate feature.  There was some discussion a while ago of supporting a third tileset for maps, but it never went anywhere

Delete dfhack.init and the other dfhack init files; keep dfhack enabled in PyLNP but don't select any of the options.

TwbT is always crashier than vanilla, but the specifics really depend on the details of your computer.  Unfortunately this makes it very hard to troubleshoot or give specific advice!

Try reinstalling the graphics pack; if that fails  replace "$df/data/init/colors.txt" with the same file from vanilla.  I've not heard of this specific issue before, but it sounds like that file is incomplete so it should be recoverable.

Nope, it's an issue with something missing from the raws. It could be due to the launcher overwriting raws in a save incorrectly, although I'm not sure when/why that would happen.

I -think- that this is a symptom of upgrading a save that sometimes shows up. Did you keep a save when you upgraded your Starter Pack to the most recent version?
