Hi! I just downloaded the mod and i am unable to launch it. Someone knows how to do it? THANKYOU!

[Piotrhabera]

 i am requesting help For the earlier 34v version because the 40.24 version odesn't feature all that the 34v version

[Piotrhabera]

The newest version for 34v does not include the MDF GUI. Unless it is hidden.

Odd, I am using 6.2, and my archive did contain the GUI, it's the executable file that's called "Masterwork Dwarf Fortress.exe"

[kamikazi1231]

I just did a fresh download to check and it's definitely in there.  Try downloading again or disabling firewall/virus scan.  Maybe the .exe was flagged as "dangerous" or something and removed.  Maybe check your zip file too to see if it's in there or not.  Maybe there was just an issue extracting to a folder.

[Piotrhabera]

i was using Google Chorome to download it.just btw.

I am using Google Chrome too, and have no problems whatsoever with the download.

[Piotrhabera]

Using IE worked. but now the GUI takes FORVER to load. FOREWER! How to speed up the loading>

[Emperor]

It all depends on your system, but don't expect lighting speed. The GUI is a very complex process and takes a while to start.

Try downloading more RAM

But seriously, you're unzipping the file, right? GUI doesn't take very long on my laptop.

I have extractes masterworkdwarffortrees.exe but it says that i must install the afromentioned mod in the game. Put it in the same folder where the game is located but still nuthing....

[slay_mithos]

you have to extract the whole archive, and run the exe from there, everything is made so that it should work directly.

If you only extract parts of the archive, it's a given that not everything (if anything) will work.

[Piotrhabera]

Extracted EVERYTHING into the folder and still it doesn't work. I even redownloaded another copy of DF and extracted ewerything to the game folder BUT ALAS I AM FATED TO NOT TO SUCCEED! what i am doing wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 

[slay_mithos]

Then let's double check.

At the place where you extracted the archive, you should have (for masterwork 6.2)
3 Folders:
Dwarf Fortress
MasterworkDwarfFortress
Quick-Guides

5 files:
Hermit Cheatsheet.png
Human Cheatsheet.png
Manual.html
Masterwork Dwarf Fortress.exe
Therapist Manual.pdf

If that's the case for you, then you might want to be more specific on what does not work (error message? what are you trying to launch? what's your OS? do you have .net 4 installed?)

.net is mandatory for the GUI, for example.

Because even downoading a fresh copy of the archive, extracting it and launching it works for me, and I have no idea what goes wrong for you, so without more details, I can't really figure out how we could possibly help you, appart from taking control of your computer, which you should never allow other people to do.

I made some pictures if it helps.

Ninjaedit: The files I have are for the new Masterwork, but the process is the same.
