So...yeah. Cause I'm a dweeb, I can't play without graphics. But I got no clue how to load a tileset into the damn thing, and the internet isn't helping worth a damn. Argggggh!

There are two ways for you to go about with this.

Option A is to download a Starter Pack like SambaDF or Peridexis Errant's Starter pack, put the save file on the data/save folder then update the tileset and the save file from the launcher itself.

Option B is to download the tileset you want to use, put it on the raw/graphics and start the game.

[LeftHandofGod]

Wow. I can update the tileset in the LNP lancher? Did not know that. hmmmm...

[LeftHandofGod]

How do I get the Drawbridge up? That damned lever doesn't work! Edit: Also, having trouble with the squads. I bring up the screen, but I can't use the Kill order? Suggestions?

[Salmeuk]

Check the notes function. I believe it is 'N' or 'n'. There should be some clearly labeled connections from lever to bridge, and I suspect the drawbridge has multiple levers. I would try them all, or you could always create a new lever and link the bridge anew.

The squad order screen is tricky if you press shift when you shouldn't or have caps lock on accidentally. Make sure you are selecting with the proper input! Also, make sure the squads are set to the 'Active / In Training' alert in the military alerts menu. Otherwise, the move order works just as fine if you simply want to engage in combat (oh lord what is happening?!) so you could just use that instead.

[Quantum Drop]

For the drawbridge, look near the main stairs - there should be 3 or so levers, with one marked 'drawbridge' or similar.

As for the squads, I think Salmeuk has it. Failing that, this may be of some help for a more step-to-step explanation.

[LeftHandofGod]

Unfortunately, it would appear that I am unable to get the game to a point where I can actually play it and not want to bash my head in. Apologies. Go ahead and take my name off the list, please.

Understood.

To the thread at large, give it 2-3 days. If no-one claims (and if he's still available), I'll pass the file to DwarvenLord.

Understandable, though if you want a dorfing is always possible.

You can sign me up for a second turn as well. Apparently we're just going to 3-man this thing until it collapses!

[LeftHandofGod]

Dorfing would be cool. And I feel you on the whole 3 man thing, I think my fort might end up like that, lol

[DwarvenLord]

So should I pick up the turn now or are we going to wait a little longer.

Go ahead, doesn't look like anyone's going to claim.

[DwarvenLord]

Ok, will start tomorrow. Two succession games on two different versions should be fun...

[DwarvenLord]

Quantum, could you give me a new save? I think something's broken with this one. Either that or I'm stupid, but I would like to verify the second.

In the way of saves, I currently have two saves for the region: the one uploaded to dffd, and one in the middle of Slate post-siege. None earlier than those. What seems to be borked?

[DwarvenLord]

Whenever I extract the file, it either spews all the .dat stuff right into the saves folder and doesn't show up in the game, or I make a folder for it and then extract it, and it still doesn't show.
