Hi! I just updated my LNP pack from0.44.12-r02 to r03

...

Is there a way to change the font to the old version while keeping the graphics changes?

The font and graphics are independent of each other, and it's an easy change!

In the Starter Pack Launcher (PyLNP) utility, click on the "Graphics" tab, and then the "Customize" tab below it. I believe you want to choose "curses_640x300.png" in the first "Font" box (that's the font paired with Phoebus in the r03 Pack [edit: I meant in the r02 Pack, the one you're used to.])

Hi! I just updated my LNP pack from0.44.12-r02 to r03. I tried importing my settings and saves from the previous version, but the PyLNP program seemed to hang and stopped responding, so I've gone and manually changed all the settings to what I think they were before.

Anyway, the important question here is: I'm still using the same Phoebus graphics that come with LNP, which seem to have been updated? I like the new sprites and so forth, but I don't like how the font has been changed.

New version and font:

Old version and font:

Same thing happened to me.  It wasn't a real hang though, and it worked fine when I left the program alone long enough.  The first attempt I had killed the process then I realized half of my saves had been migrated over so I deleted those and tried again.

Thanks, this worked.

As did this. Thank you.

Man, been too long since I visited these forums. But straight to the point.

I'm dabbling in streaming, decided to stream good old DF, so I downloaded the newest release of Starter Pack aka 0.44.12-r03. However, when I select the starting group, items, dorfs etcetera and get the STRIKE THE EARTH text. I press enter to get to the game.

And it crashes. No error, nothing, it just closes. Just the game itself, nothing else. It's not SLOBS' fault or soundsense's fault. No idea what's going on or how to fix it, haven't touched this game for years.

Does it embark without TWBT enabled? There's been some reports of that causing crashes with larger screens, no idea if it was fixed....

That's the culprit, changed the setting to STANDARD and it works like a charm (almost, the setting I'm using seems to miss 1 point in the preparation screen somehow but it doesn't matter). Time to set up my scene and see how quickly I can ruin this embark. Many tanks!

BTW, it should work post-embark (the issue was only with embark).

Nope. It booted me out when I loaded the save.

EDIT: I'm stupid, this statement is stupid. Works 100%.

erm... thanks lethosor... again... mea culpa... it was just a few pages away and i must have been distractedumb.

thanks to Lethosor, i found the solution again: redownloading a clean version of dfhack and it works.

like I mentioned 100 times that this solution only works for previous versions of df. this doesn't work anymore for 44.12 since they merged twbt and dfhack.

Why am I getting an SSl memory error when I load up DT? How do i fix this?

[Francis_the_dwarf]

Any chance you could use an updated Meph tileset in the next release?

For those interested on how to fix TWBT CTD on embark:

Download the latest version of TWBT here:
https://github.com/mifki/df-twbt/releases

Extract twbt.plug.dll in "DF\Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12\hack\plugins"
Extract overrides.txt in "DF\Dwarf Fortress 0.44.12\data\init"

Run LNP. It works for me :-)

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.44.12-r04!
As usual, you can get it here.

This update is just full of tiny bugfixes and feature improvements - from TwbT
not crashing (OK, that's a big one), to more event types and thoughts handled by
Therapist and Legends Viewer, to PyLNP installing TwbT-ified graphics only when TwbT
is enabled.  So come strike the earth while the iron is hot!

(and pay no attention to the mixed metaphors)

0.44.12-r04
 - updated Dwarf Therapist to v41.0.3
 - updated TwbT to 6.55
 - updated Legends Viewer to 1.19.10
 - updated PyLNP to 0.13b

Hey thanks. Kinda annoying to have to change my settings every update though, especially when I initially thought "import form a previous install" meant from a previous install of the pack, not of DF. Import settings feature pretty please. Or update into the same folder instead of making a new one, but despite most programs doing that idk how hard it is.

Unfortunately there's no reasonable way to do this that doesn't also break stuff really badly for some users - IMO it's better to have obvious work needed than to try and automate it but sometimes get that wrong and break things.
