UPDATE - V.4f - MERRY CHRISTMAS!
« on: December 24, 2013, 12:03:54 pm »



Notes: While I have been sitting on my lazy arse, (actually doing stuff, just not DF related ;) ), the community around Urist McTeellox has managed to collect many fixes and compile them into a new update. It consists of mostly bugfixes, some rebalancing, an updated orc manual, and new options for the GUI. A special thanks to Splinterz for his work on it. The weird flickering on Windows XP is fixed now as well, and the default settings have been enabled again. In the last release the simple material settings were reversed. Thistleknot has altered the disease contraction rate, so please turn them on and give the new diseases another try.

I myself will start working on DF again within the week, planning a new release after New Years, followed by writing the Warlocks. A race of evil sorcerers that keep undead around and meddle with demons. A release for them is planned in early february.

At the same time Putnam worked on Drow, Deathsword on Goblins, IndigoFenix on Gnomes, Vherid on Iteru, a human egyptian race; all of which will be integrated into the main mod and GUI over time.

Yes!  Well, technically it's the 4f release candidate which is a SWP/unified snapshot, but the GUI was set to use the default colour scheme (which is now also the case in SWP), and the DF binary was patched to display the 4f version number (also now in SWP). So except for cosmetic changes, it's the same as SWP at the time of the release.

Studded With Patches, of course, is still continuing with development, bugfixes, and I have an orc rebalance going on behind the scenes. The top post in the SWP thread should always be reasonably up-to-date in what changes we've made since the last official release.

I'm afraid that the settings GUI is splinterz department, so I've cast summon splinterz. However given it's the festive season it may be a little while for him to respond.

There were changes (incuding bugfixes) made to the GUI between 4e and 4f.  You could try this zip, which is the last snapshot before those changes went in, and see if the GUI works for you there.  That would at least help us isolate the change which may be responsible.  (However that zip is not the same as 4f; I'm pretty sure it's still based on DFHack r3.)
