OK
A few questions before I get the first turn up ._.

NQT:
> How were you able to screenshot the whole playing field (like in your first game post)
> Where are we on ye huge map? (No wonder my FPS is dying ;_;)
> My turns will...take a lot of time due to net resources :S Everyone ok with more text and less pics?

Tiruin, as long as you bring them in on time, I personally have no problem with an update with few or no pictures. Don't stress it.

1)  I'm going to guess he just made his DF window huge and screenshotted it.  That's not quite the whole area (it's missing the southern coastline.)
2) ?
3) Fine by me.  You can see where my time got short later on when the pics became sparse.

I'm ok with text>pictures

OP updated.  Hope you all had a happy Halloween.  Also, if you live in or around St. Louis, MO you need to go check out the City Museum.  It will blow your mind.

Oh.
...
How did that even work o_O
I maximized my window and it doesn't even show 1/4th of the NW (which I set it to stop as a corner reference).
Because stitching it together with GIMP?

[Mephansteras]

Try zooming out?

[Toaster]

Maybe he set his DF resolution to something much larger then his monitor can do, then just did an alt-printscreen and formatted the result?

[notquitethere]

I just zoomed out. (I think using the mouse wheel?) The world map screen I stitched from two screenshots.

It...doesn't work when I use a mouse wheel (nor can I find options to help me zoom out D:)
Help, anyone?
I'd like at least to give a layout on what has happened lately.

[pisskop]

ptw, but I dont think I quite understand how you play this?

Also can I have a dwarf?

Data/Init/Init.exe
[WINDOWEDX:500]
[WINDOWEDY:500]
../../Dwarf Fortress.exe
Etc
Alt+PrtSc
esc
However many times you need to press down to reach save and quit
enter
up
enter
Change init settings back to 155x55

Oh dear goodness thank you.
I did not think about editing the raw files (or that editing the raw files in an already progressing game will ever work, and discarded these kinds of mechanics).

[flabort]

Well, it's not the raws.
It's the inits.
Which is short for initializers. Which means they run when the game is initialized, or started.
So yeah, it won't work while the game is running, hence booting up the game after you change them, and saving and closing after you take the picture but before changing them back.
Sorry if that's how it got interpreted.

But modifying those two lines in the inits and then changing them back once the picture is taken will get you your results. You do have to save the text file before opening the game, and save it again before opening it back up to run...

The default window size is infact actually smaller than 155x55; however, that is what I use so......

Bah. I'm starting to get rambly and confusing. I'm going to stop before I start confusing myself. Which happens.

[Shakerag]

Tick tick tick.

Tomorrow is one week from save being posted.
