Is it me, or is the world generation a bit slower with this pack for example in comparison to Meph's launcher?

It wouldn't shock me to hear it was different for you. Based on questions asked on the subreddit, people are generally unaware of how many mods they have turned on in Meph's launcher. You may well have things turned off or on that would affect worldgen time. The Dwarf Fortress Revised mod seems to be turned on by default, for instance, which itself is a collection of mods from various sources.

Perhaps compare it to vanilla worldgen times?

Yep, it is turned on by default in Meph's. Anyway, I did a couple of "benchmarks" and the results are:

~10,5 min in vanilla
~12,5 min in PE
~9,5 min in Meph's

So it's not just a gut feeling after all. While both aren't that far from vanilla, PeridexisErrant's takes almost 30% longer than Meph's to generate a world on my machine. Not a game changer anyway.

Out of curiosity, are these words exactly the same in each case?  I know for a fact* that even subtle differences in the raws can result in different world histories which in turn can result in different world gen times.

* I was doing some tests, generating a world using the same world+history SEED but two different versions of a custom civ (one had Death as a viable god in their pantheon, the other didn't). Now each time civ version A would result in world version A and civ version B would result in world version B.While both versions gave the same world geographically, each version had civ/historical sites in different places (ie necro tower in west part vs necro tower in east part).

Umm, every link I use to try and download ends up with a broken link error saying "The requested URL /file.php was not found on this server."

What happened?

It's backed up here: http://df.wicked-code.com/

This is what's going on, long story short, Toady's migrating servers due to hosting company foolishness. it's gone in and out for me, currently out.

More detail would be helpful, but assuming you're getting a "not found" page, there's another link a couple posts above yours:

I just switched texture packs from vanilla to CLA 18px and I've received a fatal error: "missing building definition:Practice_workshop"
now I know the practice workshop is a modded in building (I also put in horn beetles from Kruggsmash)
How do I fix it so I can continue on my save? Or is it a lost cause...

[Ulfarr]

Just to be sure: Did you have a modded game and then used the LNP launcher to update the save file with the new tileset?

If I am not mistaken the launcher copies over the raws so any modded file gets lost. Perhaps installing the mod directly to the save will fix it. There two ways to do this 1) copy the mods' raws into the raw folder found in DF/data/save/world or 2) edit the already existing files (in said save) to include the changes contained in the mod's raws. Keep in mind that certain tilesets use different tile designations so even if you do manage to make it work the added content might not be displayed as it should.

Normally I would suggest to make a back up first but I'm not sure if it has any merit in this situation, modding saved games is wonky at best. I wouldn't get my hopes high.

edit: If you end up giving up on the save then I would suggest doing a "clean" install altogether. On a fresh LNP install first chose your tileset and then install the mods that you want. The thing about tile designations might still apply (it can be fixed by modding yourself the tiles used by the problematic creatures/workshops before you gen a world)  but the game should work just fine otherwise.

[Artinnio]

Yeah, I had the modded game and then used the launcher to update it

and what you suggested worked! Thank you!

This is what i see when i try to launch DF with the LNP and TWBT activated.

I can only seem to play it with print set to 2D. Anyone knows what it could be?

Having the odd issue of starting Dwarf Fortress through the launcher with Phoebus installed, seeing the main menu in Phoebus' style, then everything getting forcibly reset back to ascii after several seconds of loading.
