Quick question. When installing a new version (upgrading to a new one) do you overite all the old files (so select replace all) or do you keep the "newer" files that it talks about also?

I wouldn't trust osx to overwrite the folder properly at any case, it risks losing your saves. Either extract to a new folder and migrate your saves from the 'User Generated..' directory, or else delete the LNP, Dwarf Fortress folder and the launcher, and extract these. Better upgrade is in the plans.

My solution is to unzip the newer pack in the same parent folder, then copy across all the saves and other data.  No matter what, the old copy is intact.  There's a lot of stuff it doesn't preserve/cooy, but it's safe and easy.  Here's the (bat) script; it should be easy enough to translate to shell if you're interested.

Why don't you move saves folder out of the installation folder completely, eg. to ~/Documents?

Not that I haven't thought of it, but not being a programmer makes it a tad difficult.

For all the folders and files that ideally should be outside it's difficult indeed because we still need to update them from time to time. But we don't need to change user saves ever, so it's easier. It could be just small code in df/dfhack scripts that would check if there's no data/save folder (first run), then create save folder in Documents (if it doesn't exist too) and make a symlink. Oh yes, to avoid problems with DF updates not compatible with older saves, use ~/Documents/Dwarf Fortress/DF_03411 /DF_04013 and so on - new folder each time such change occurs.

Is there a config option to point to the save directory? Currently, I have my saves stored on Dropbox so my post-install operation follows, but I would rather mod a config option.

MacOS:
bash$ ln -s "~/Dropbox/Games/Dwarf Fortress/save" "/Applications/Macnewbie/Dwarf Fortress/data/save"

Windows:
cmd$ mklink /j \path\to\df\data\save "\users\murdersquish\my documents\my dropbox\Games\Dwarf Fortress\data\save"

I'll see if I can code a config option, current idea is to write some Python code and use the launcher to check for and create folders in the Documents directory and symlink them to Macnewbie automagically. The path you use should work ok, data/save is just a symlink pointing to 'Macnewbie/User Generated.../Saves'

It could be just small code in df/dfhack scripts that would check if there's no data/save folder (first run), then create save folder in Documents (if it doesn't exist too) and make a symlink.

The problem is not with the idea, but with my nonexistent coding skills. Nevertheless I made some progress, hurray.

Passing a bug report, which I'm pretty sure is the multiscroll plugin.  I assume you can work out the version and mifki can track down the problem

I'm having technical issues with the OSX version. The game locks up fairly early on in every play though I've attempted (happened once ~15 minutes in, second time ~3 hours in). Throughout the play through, the game occasionally "stutters" and locks up for ~1 second before it gets going again. One observational note -- both times, it happened while I was doing the two-finger-drag-on-trackpad thing to scroll around the map. I can't figure out where to disable this, though.

This is what shows up in stderr.log:

I'm playing on a MBP, OSX 10.9.4, using MacNewbiePack 0.9.10 w/ DF 40.13. The only DFHack modules I have enabled are "Workflow - production targets" and "Pure Bugfixes". Any help would be appreciated.lp would be appreciated.

Thx. That's multiscroll 2.25, the latest.
@mifki: While you're at it, can you add an enable plugin option to multiscroll, so I can add an option to launcher to disable the plugin? This "delete the plugin if you're crashing" is not noob friendly enough.
Report is also here.

[OSX] Dwarf Therapist 28.pre-release | DF 40.14

i've released a new version, although it's now incomplete with 40.14 (thoughts and happiness are disabled/invalid). however the other functionality should be ok... probably..

there are also some fairly untested new features like the labor optimizer update and new role categories/preferences, so let me know if anything unexpected explodes. a proper update to handle the new emotions will certainly take more time, but in the meantime this is still a significant update.

Spoiler: Patch Notes (click to show/hide)

• added a new option to hide social skills from the tooltip
• updated the labor optimizer to allow setting a hard worker count or a ratio
• updated ~20 roles to feelotravellers civ/military roles
• updated role ratings to use new checks and transformations based on thistleknot's latest work
• added highlighting of which preferences are matched in roles, and additionally listed the exact matches
• added an option to highlight role cell borders based on the number of matching preferences. the more matches, the darker the border
• negative role weights are highlighted in red rather than the 'dislikes' or 'not' prefixes
• added a general trade goods role preference group
• split the crop role preference category into crops (gather/grow) and crops (grow)
• split item preferences into armor and clothing groups and added general 'armor' and 'clothing' categories
• moved clothing, armor and weapon role preferences to a new equipment category
• added foreign/specific armor types for preferences/roles
• updated the search in the preference dock to also filter on the category column
• changed displayed skill xp to truncate and use suffixes
• removed the 'wagon' creature from roles
• removed obsolete memory scanners
• continued back-end improvements and fixes (Hello71)
• fixed belief column sorting
• fixed a bug with roles where having invalid/bad weights resulted in invalid ratings which caused drawing anomalies
• fixed a crash with the skill legend (stoutheart)

Uhm, it's a reminder to myself to go ask Warmist to reimplement plants/trees, and to mifki to once more make it compatible with twbt. Sorry for the confusion.

Reminder: Write better reminders.

Service announcement: Since my dfhack-r0 is 99,9% identical with the official dfhack-r1 release I won't be updating the pack for now. Next version is going to be 40.15 - soon™.

fricy, little question here: how do i add new tileset? In LNP/graphics folder it says:

Place graphics packs here, each one in it's own directory. Edit lnp.yaml to
make LNP aware of the graphics packs you add.

what is lnp.yaml? i can't find such a file

Oh, that instruction is outdated, a leftover from the previous launcher. Just place a pack there with the proper folder structure and the launcher will detect it automagically when it starts.

Oh, i got it, i just forgot to put raws in place, thanks
BTW, when i was waiting for answer, i took quick tour through available graphic pack and it seems that something wrong with Phoebus:

It loads title screen and then shows blank warning window, while game freezes. I've seen this before, but don't remember, what it means

Thx, for the report, it's a typo: data/art/Phoebeus_16x16_text.png has an extra 'e' in it. Only happens with twbt mode.
