The Fortress's name is Boarpainted. Make of that what you will, and sorry for not mentioning it in the write-up.

Journal of Ryukan, 1st of Granite 1053

Well, this is weird. I've heard stories of the strange past, when worlds were not tall nor deep, just flat. I arrives through the portal with a detachment of Thruthbearers, and just stared at the Sheer face of rock that loomed before me. I remember stories all dwarves are told at bed by their mums. The dreaded hole of Doom. Boatmurdered.

I shudder at the thought that no matter what we do here, this fort will fail. No mater what precautions we take, no matter how fast we secure our gates, no matter how careful we delve, we will fall. Boarpainted is no exception

I will establish a branch of the Black Arrow here nonetheless. We will operate here as in any other locale. I only hope we can outlast our doom, most likely not, but we can hope.

Since we're using a bugfixed version of the game(?), would it be easier to just upload the entire game file, .exe and all? I'm not quite sure how the patch works, but I'm assuming it modifies the executable file directly, in which case a fresh download would have the usual bugs regardless of whether the save had been previously running on a fixed game.

Also wondering if the patching utility is available on all operating systems. I could probably run the .exe via wine but that seems rather pointless.

The problem is, uploading an entire version of DF is gonna take an ungodly amount of time on DFFD, even as a .zip.

I mean, I suppose I could upload the save AND the .exe, and the next person could just replace their .exe with the uploaded version. Would that work?

The one I used is called ArtMoney, but if you wanna use it on a mac you're gonna have to use wine.

just upload all the changed files, leave the vanilla-unchanged ones, then we can overwrite an fresh copy with the bug-fixed bits.

Sounds good. I'll probably do another run through the hex before I upload the files, and then post some instructions for downloading in the main post.

Quietust, what would we ever do without you and your endless knowledge of v0.23a?
I was going to say "fail spectacularly", but you guys seem to be doing a great job of that already.

Imic was a planter. As a planter, he had his hands very, very full. But despite that, he had found time to... Sing?!

As you live your life long
Remember this song
The song of the murdered boat.
They dug this earth
For riches they sough
But madness was all they awoke.
The mountain burned
The madness stoked
The moon clouded over by the smoke.

He was suddenly taken by a flash of inspiration. He would try to get them out of this ... Flat... Cursed... Place. All he needed to do was... Has brain gears started moving.
Heh heh heh...
