EDIT: Nevermind.

Downloading Warlock save now. This should be good.

EDIT2: Okay. So, whenever I try to run the program, it crashes. Something about a GUI error. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[Immortal-D]

Like, why is there a guy called specifically F You Immortal-D.

Bwahaha, that is fantastic.  I must have a screenshot of my Orc.

Good to know Gamerlord. I was wondering why there were two Moku in the ranged unit. Granted, I was also wondering several other things when I started. Like, why is there a guy called specifically F You Immortal-D. Or two separate stockpiles that accepted almost everything. I suppose I never did check to see if the front gate actually closed. Heh.

The guy named F You Immortal-D happened because Immortal-D did that thing with the stockpiles. And set them to accept BLOCKS AND STONES. With EVERYTHING being moved around in wheelbarrows. I was pulling my hair out by that point.

You dont need the GUI at all, the save is already done. But it sounds like you would need to update your .NET-Framework.

Warlocks are one of the most complicated races, very different from dwarves. Have a look at their manual first, and good luck.

I already have version 4.5. I don't think that's it.

EDIT: Okay, let me go ahead and clarify the problem. I get into the main menu, I go to load it up, and Dwarf Fortress crashes.



EDIT2: Oh shit, I think this means my graphics card can't take it. What the fuck? It can handle DF2014 just fine, and this is a mod for 2012!

EDIT3: Welp. I don't think I'm going to be able to play this. 

And it looks so interesting too...

Oh.  Yeah, that's very different from a GUI error.

Did vanilla DF2012 work for you?  There was a known issue there
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1911

although many people were able to fix by updating their drivers, did you try that?

One possibility is that your GPU is not compatable with Masterwork's default Print Mode: Standard, in which case you can try disabling both Rendermax and TWBT Plugin Itemgraphics and then changing the Print Mode.  Just brainstorming though.  Do you normally play vanilla in ASCII or with graphics? 

(Maybe take tech support questions to the Masterwork forums, though)

Vanilla worked fine, I suppose. There are crashes and the like, of course, but I understand those occur on the best of machines, and this POS Dell definitely isn't that. No, I haven't tried updating drivers yet. I also haven't tried messing with the options like that, although I definitely could try that. I play vanilla with the Phoebus texture pack.

(I'll try your suggestions, and if those don't work, I'll take it to the Masterwork forums.)

EDIT: Okay, so changed Print Mode to 2D, and it worked! Hooray!

Okay, now what the fuck am I doing here? *Consults manual*

[PyroTechno]

Alright, I have BIG PLANS now.

But first... how the hell do you make hourglasses?

[smakemupagus]

[PyroTechno]

I can't find it anywhere.

[smakemupagus]

Either "[NAME:Craft rock hourglass]" which makes hourglass specifically, or just make crafts.

[LMeire]

craftsman

I can't find it anywhere.

It's a little down the list in the vanilla crafts(man/dwarf/bold/gnome/whatever) workshop.

The one that looks like this:
XXO
OXX
OOX

Note that you can only specify hourglasses only with stonecrafts; so if you run out of stone, you'll have to make bone/wood/metal/glass hourglasses with the generic "make crafts" reactions- since hourglasses are just renamed earrings.

EDIT: Ninja'd

Warlock Year 5 (I think it's 5, anyway) in progress. Also, this miserable "tower" is populated entirely by dumbasses.
