I can't run dwarf therapist either via LNP or directly via the exe file. The latter gives me a burst of error messages.

[Raia]

Running the beta of the 44.03 starter pack, as usual I load legends so I can get the xml stuff for Legends viewer and this came up.

[Pvt. Pirate]

The dfhack init in the starter pack is missing 5 lines that I'm using.

Code: [Select]

multilevel 10
season-palette start
twbt unit_transparency 1
twbt workshop_transparency 1
twbt redraw_all 1
Instead it has

Code: [Select]

# TwbT multilevel is a dfhack option in the launcher due to stability issues
multilevel 0
considering that, a few things like transparency in units/buildings, multilevel view, the seasonal colors are all off; and without redraw_all there might be artefacts (single tiles not overridden) when you look at large quantities of them.

i hope this is not too offtopic: i had to set

Code: [Select]

multilevel 0because i could track it down as the main cause for DF-crashes on my system.

back to topic: i reported the mousequery issue that occurs in 44.03 but noone answered (yet).

[PatrikLundell]

I get the same message as Raia does, but given that the pack itself is beta it should be reasonable to have DFHack enabled (And I haven't got any issues with exportlegends info [when using the Starter Pack rather than breaking raws myself by failing to manually install tile sets properly]).

Although enabled by default, it looks like you should be able to disable multi-level rendering from the DFHack tab of the LNP launcher. It's not the graphics pack that is enabling that.

Is anyone else getting a bunch of scattered books all over the place when they unretire a fortress or visit a tower?

My dwarves ignore them completely to so I can't clean it up.

it was added there because it caused so many crashes. i only mentioned that because when not using the LNP, i would have to go through all the files and try to find it.

[Raia]

I pinned down TBWT as the causes of crashes for my last LNP experience.

Was it multi-level rendering causing the crash? What GPU were you using? I think Dwarf Fortress will crash if it runs out of VRAM. I get crashes on my laptop when trying to load graphics packs with so many creature tilesheets.

[Meph]

I only had two crashes while play-testing my tileset, but of them when placing farm plots. I was told that's more of a DF problem than anything else.

Older graphic cards that can't handle textures over 2048x2048 do pose a problem though.

[jecowa]

I'm having trouble loading Mayday, and it's largest tilesheet dimension is only 832 pixels. It looks like the largest in yours is Vordak's dwarves at 1600. The next largest after that is 960. I can load Vordak's dwarves just fine on my 2008 laptop with integrated Intel graphics. I think I can load more creature graphics depending on how much free RAM I have available.

[Meph]

All tilesheets (data/art and raw/graphics) get combined to one large sheet when the game runs, and the total size of those is important. Most modern GPUs can handle 4096x4096 for example, which is more than enough (only about half filled) with my set.

well, twbt got updated, but i had those crashes until i chose to play with "multilevel 0".
i haven't had those crashes with the 43.x now, but i always chose "multilevel 0".
TWBT "doesn't/didn't like" when buildings or constructions changed and forced a redraw while in multilevel view.
44.x still has a broken mousequery and i would risk running berserk when playing without mouse scrolling

Hi, as requested in this topic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/7ojgfd/peridexiserrants_experimental_windows_starter/dsf41lg/

Here is my save folder, I believe first three saves have the same problem, the rest of them are fine. The problem is with legends plus, and legends viewer manages to somehow fix it but not completely - it displays map, sites and other stuff but fails to show civs.

The graphics pack I used was gemset if it matters anyhow.

[lethosor]

I've identified and fixed the issue. For future reference, when someone asks for a save folder, they usually mean just the region folder(s) of the save(s) in question, not the data/save folder containing all of your saves. I personally wouldn't download a 250 MB file that contains a bunch of saves that aren't relevant to a specific issue.

I'm guessing Legends Viewer was able to extract the information you're seeing from the other files that exported successfully. Usually it can't deal with files that failed in the middle, as was the case here.
