need help too get masterwork too start
« on: April 29, 2015, 08:24:37 pm »

I've always wanted too play masterwork but can never get it too work, i'm not that keen of a modder and if you can i'd like a step-by-step on what too do from the start, even what version of dwarf fortress i'll need. i have windows 8.1. hope you guys can help, this has been a loooooong time coming.

Download Masterwork 6.2 from this thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125633.0

Unpack it anywhere on your computer.  No other DF is required, it is stand alone.

Doubleclick "Masterwork Dwarf Fortress.exe"

(optional) Change any settings that you care to in the GUI

Press the button in the upper left of the GUI that looks like an ASCII dwarf (tooltip: "Launch Dwarf Fortress!") to launch the DF game engine
