I think I resolved my initial issues. This is a release of the Accelerated Fortress/Modest Mod Raw for a lighter and simpler Dwarf Fortress experience.

**LINK REMOVED** Cause I was ashamed at how bad it was

I'm still new at this, so be patient with me if there are mistakes.

Initial Post:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It seems the releases for Accelerated/Modest Fortress have ceased. I was never a big fan of the excess stuff. But I always downloaded them for the simplified raws... so I was wondering if...

A.) I could post modified raws on github (which I'm not at all familiar with) with a goal to be modded for improved FPS/Simplicity?
B.) Any of you excellent modders out there would be willing to look over my shoulder and help me find ways to improve/simplify the raws?

The reason I want it open is because I know I'm not the best man for the job and I'm sure a superior modder might show up and begin running things. I just want to start that direction. Your guidance is always appreciated.

I am not sure I understand the question

Yes, that is one of the accelerated mods that hasn't been updated in a while.

The only raw changes since that have been the addition of gelding.

[Rogue Yun]

Then I'll start poking at it. Thank you.

Hey! I think I did it! Gelding and all

@Rouge Yun: I found Kdiff3 to be the perfect tool for merging/updating raws.

I found yesterday before I saw this post a program called "meld." It seems far superior to what I was using before >.>. I tried installing kdiff3 on my system without success. I'll give it another couple of goes and see what I can do. Thank you

May I ask where you got info on those changes? It seems like a great resource if I can find raw changes in such a simple format.

Hmm. Thx for the tip, regex based merging does sound interesting. The changes I posted are copied from 'file changes.txt' in the df folder.
By the way.

By the way.

I have been outclassed. I just struggled through some serious modding humility lessons with just ASCII (which was good for me). I guess I can see how far I was off by comparing mine to yours >.> I have a lot to learn. If you have any other tips or tricks up your sleeves I'm all ears.

Most of that is simple 3-way merge starting from updating ascii. I used kdiff: load vanilla ascii.08 raws into panel A, vanilla ascii.19 into B, and modest.ascii.08 into C. Then merge and check the results with some guesswork included. That yielded me this commit which could be cherry picked onto other branches, so ascii was like an hour, but Ironhand only 2 minutes. Afro and Obsidian needed a lot of additional work, because a lot of tile definition were missing from Doren's work, but whatever, now all major graphics packs are done and can be updated easily in that repo. It'd been a lot faster if I could use regex to only merge tile definitions, I'll see if meld can speed it up.

Would you mind if I poked around in there for a bit making some miner changes? I'm new to github and I would appreciate the experience.
