Also, after I tried it again with sound and the intro movie turned off, I got an error message that made it more obvious what the error was:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/Macnewbie/Dwarf Fortress/libs/SDL_ttf.framework/Versions/A/SDL_ttf
  Reason: image not found

to clarify: this happenes after installing xquartz, or before?

@lethosor: Do you think it would make sense to link and bundle freetype6.dylib in the libs directory along with SDL with install_name_tool? Do you know if there are other dependencies that need xquartz?
btw: I'm using SDL 1.2.15 in Macnewbie, not 1.2.13 that comes default. (for the fullscreen fix) Have you tested SDL 2.0+ per chance?

It happened before I installed the new 5/7/2014 version of Xquartz (I had installed the older one for DF2012). Sorry that wasn't clear. Everything is working fine now.

I was just pointing out that I didn't get a helpful error message clueing me into the fact that X11 was the problem until *after* I had disable both sound and the intro movie. Before I did that, the script just seemed to fail for no reason.

Thanks again for all the work you do on this, I probably would not have gotten into DF without you.

@butter: Thx! Afaik soundsense shouldn't cause problem with quartz, as it is a java app, but on 10.8+ I heard that DF itself needs the newer Quartz/X11. So you -should- be able to play with sound after updating Quartz, and the soundsense problem should be a different one that can be solved by upgrading java. Link is in the OP. Let me know if it's not the case...

Yeah, DF and Soundsense work fine after installing Quartz My first attempt after installing Quartz was without Soundsense so the game could create whatever folders SS looks at, then I got carried away with the game! Thanks!

[fricy]

Thx both for the feedback! I added freetype6.dylib to /lib, hopefully it will work from now without having to install xquartz first...

07/13/2014  Toady One Here's the next one! Many more crash issues fixed. Mystery babies and large city walls had a corrupting effect that was not possible to manage, so saves are not compatible yet again. I'll try to keep saves together as we move forward, but there aren't any guarantees, especially this early on. If things have settled down on the stability front, I can finally move on to the optimizations and other issues. We'll see what happens!

Major bug fixes
Fixed relationship screen crash from certain historial/old-player-fort migrants and adventurer migrants
Fixed adv retirement cloning
Fixed crash when game tries to realize certain low population sites
Fixed crash/corruption problem from large city walls
Fixed crash when asking about site trade partners
Fixed problem causing travelers originating from realized forts/sewers/dungeons to go out of map bounds (caused crashes)
Stopped the babies of the world from appearing in the unit list (and associated minimap crash)

Other bug fixes/tweaks
Made farm plant list refresh properly with season selection

this is great! Could you please tell me which graphic pack is best for a newbie? Which one to set?

Hmm. If you're into ASCII: Taffer and CLA are very nice.
If you're more a graphic kind of guy: Phoebus or Spacefox, although Spacefox has not been updated yet to play nicely with the new trees. But it's a matter of personal taste.

Phoebus is probably the easiest to interpret, but if you ever decide to go back to ascii at some point, you'll feel like a newb again.

Hi!

Does anyone know a !!working!! (more or less) version of Dwarf Therapist that could be used with 40.03?

I have heard that an older version of DT Windows version 0.6.12 works with 40.03.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=122968.840

edit: When I launch DT 0.6.12 mac version it says that it doesn't know how to speak with DF because it doesn't support this version of DF, which is a shame. I wonder if for some reason windows version didn't had that error.

Nope. Windows and mac DF has different memory layout, so a working winTherapist doesn't help us in any way. I tried getting it to work, but no luck, has to wait on the professionals.

Brilliant, fricy....I don't suppose you take donations? I already donated to Toady for .40.

[Wookieguy]

I'm running Mac OSX 10.9.3, Java 1.8.0_05, and the latest XQuartz. Dwarf Fortress runs fine, until it crashes when saving after world generation (After you hit ENTER to accept). The crash report is unintelligible compared to most, unless you really want it. Tried it on my other Mac running an older java version, same thing. These Macs ran DF2012 with MacNewbie fine.

(DF also does not recognize saves from older versions, though I don't know if it should or not.)

Thx, but no I don't take donations, you can send it to Toady.

Please keep in mind that 0.40.0x is not a stable build, if you play with it you have to accept the occasional crashes. Until Toady has some time for optimizations generate small words with short history, these tend to be more stable and faster.
The crash is most likely related to some bug in the code, we're still at the beginning of the crash-fixing period. If you find a crash you can reproduce, file a report on the bugtracker, and upload a save to dffd to help Toady fix it.
Save games are not compatible between 0.40.01-0.40.03, but you will be able to load a 40.03 game in 40.04.

Spoiler: DF 40.04 Release notes (click to show/hide)

This is mainly another crash-fix release, though I was able to handle some other problems as well. I'm still hoping to get to optimizations (for the third time in these release notes!), but as usual that depends on stability. As you'll note below, a few of the older bugs are gone -- as we continue in this process, I'll work fixes for old bugs into the mix.

Major bug fixes
Fixed a crash with pathing for jumps
Fixed a crash related to invading squads attempting to train
Fixed an overpopulation bug for civilized critters and a related one for site animals
Fixed problem with retired fort uniform settings crashing later visits to the fort
Stopped a crash associated to misplaced books/slabs (root cause remains, added some logs)
Fixed position appointment issue that caused some instability
Tried to make idle code somewhat better about climbing while still getting dwarves out from being stuck
People with a weapon should use it with the proper frequency now

Other bug fixes/tweaks
Fixed problem with animal training/taming vs. lingering combat data (caused job cancel spam and inability to complete jobs)
Stopped nearby objects from being teleported by construction removal and a related problem with the item loop (ag/Quietust)
Made site finder properly indicate flux layers (Quietust)
Made game better respect existing directory structure in data/save when creating new directories
Made tops of walls appear properly when trees above walls are removed
Made strangulation take less time
Enhanced sapling survivability
Fixed a problem that caused vermin to occasionally be generated out of the loaded area
Fixed a problem that corrupted the information about items on the ground with temperature changes
Fixed some brokenness with climbing AI vs. ledge tops
Fixed a broken instance of chasing opponent AI vs unwalkable spaces
Made climbing have a higher path cost
Made people less likely to climb after a failure
Babies don't start strapped with a knife

Ok, here is the first attempt with the new Therapist, only works with 40.04. Take it, test it, tell me if it works.

Had to clear user settings to get it to work the first time (all the text was gone), but other than that, working great so far, thanks!
