Generally speaking how are people going about updating their client? I've been downloading a new one and resetting the options manually.

Thats how it works. I'm not smart enough to add an auto-update functionality. Sorry, I just mod raws.

This is how I do it.  I typically screw up my install a couple times a week so I just keep a clean copy of the .zip around and start from scratch when I've managed to populate my errorlog.txt.  Preserving options across installs is of limited value because the available options are always changing from version to version anyway, plus often times if you're reinstalling to regain functionality or stability your options are the source of the problem anyway so starting from defaults and editing from there is a good policy.

daisha, if you have errorlogs, please post them.

This is my latest, it's pretty representative of my standard errorlog.txt.  milk of lime, quicklime, parchment and peat are the usual suspects.  Again, note that I'm playing on Linux via wine, so some of these may be unique errors related to cross-platform differences or errors in the implementation of various windows features in wine.

No, they are helpful. These three missing inorganics are part of inorganic_other.txt, which is unique to each tileset. I added the new entries to the default tileset, but not to the ones for other tileset.

My assumption: You are not playing with the default tileset.

Indeed.  In Masterwork I use Mayday w/Phoebus colors and Dungeon text through TWBT.  My favorite tileset for vanilla is Gemset, though, and I'd be most excited to see it included in Masterwork.

Gemset is amazing, but I have two issues with it:
1. it heavily uses twbt and I'd need to teach my GUI to also copy/merge override files.
2. it has creature sprites for all vanilla creatures, but for none of the mod creature. This will make those stand out like a sore thumb, since they still use their normal sprites.

Hm.  That's a bummer.  I guess even using a normal 16 px tile from another quality set would look pretty awful next to the 24 px gemset tiles.  My pixel art doesn't really qualify as such or I'd volunteer to make a supplemental tileset.

Keep in mind that the original timestream code was written before DF2014's world activation.  I'm not sure how it interacts with stuff like wandering armies and visitors.  Watch out for bugs.

Thank you for the head-up.

I also looked into porting the warlocks, but its even more  because IMMOBILE creatures no longer use interactions. That means no soul wisps, monoliths that resurrect the dead, pylon system, standards, none of the "pasture thing here and it does AOE effect".

Same holds true for dwarven landmines and turrets btw, which is why there are none in the new mod.

Would it be possible to just make them really, really slow so they're effectively immobile?

On another note, something is a little buggy with my onLoad.init file. I have pretty much all the mods enabled except those that add equipment or vermin. The last few lines of the file are as follows, make note of the last partial line:

Code: [Select]

I'm aware of those. The GUI sometimes copies fragments of the last line again, its harmless. It just throws one error message at the dfhack startup, thats it.

If you're looking to rebuild the warlocks, might I suggest taking a look at my soulshuffle script?  It would be right up their alley and is EXTREMELY flexible.  Uh, assuming it still works, that is.
As I discovered later, constructing creatures using reagent materials doesn't actually work the way I thought it did, but everything else should function.

[Meph]

I started porting humans, its more realistic to do those first. Warlocks/Necromancers are more complex.

[daisha]

I started porting humans

And there was much rejoicing!  I must be a real square to be waiting on the human update in particular, but I prefer building to digging.  :'P
