nope. it's just the vanilla install, latest version.

I managed to load it fine from a reinstall of DF this morning, so it should work.

[Fualkner]

Ditto, I ran it a moment ago. looks fine to me. You have a flair for designing forts, Dres.

[dresdor]

Wow...I wouldn't call it flair, but thanks for the compliment...

The main entryway is wide enough for statues and traps, and has room on the sides to build barracks/murder holes for marksdwarves.

The workshop design I stole from somewhere on the forums.

The bedrooms are a modified design and much bigger than anything I usually build.  My bedroom is the product of me trying to get my view page to look awesome and trying to see how nice of rooms I could construct with just smoothed floors and novice masons and carpenters.  I put statues in the middle corner of each room and decided to fill every corner with them.

The Grand Garden was based on the old style of rooms (diamond) and I had wanted to build a circle around it, but my mining was a little off, and I decided it was easier to make the outer ring a diamond as well.  I had planned only seven statues, but now there's 20, so our fort has 36 placed statues in its first year.

Neat. Hopefully, Jack can get his turn done in a few days.

C'mon Jack, keep the game moving ','

[dresdor]

hurry up!   I want to see what sort of rampant chaos will ensue when you realize I really wasn't thinking about the future of this fort while building it!

Take your time, jack, but I expect a full report when you are done...and I want to see what cool architecture you'll add to the prison.  Someone has to make an epic torture room (jail) or something, and I wouldn't be averse to seeing some sort of execution chamber or perhaps a coliseum.

Mine is going through.

MWA HA HA!

[Jack A T]

Hate to break it to you, but the save doesn't work.

[dresdor]

that's weird, cause faulkner managed to load it.  Are you running any mods or anything jack?  Cause mine is a vanilla install.

[Jack A T]

I have mods, but none that would interfere with a vanilla save.

Just some plants and some creatures.  Nothing overwritten.

[dresdor]

humor me and try to install a fresh download without your mods and use it.  If it doesn't work, I'll try to work it out on my end.

[Jack A T]

Still fails.

[dresdor]

i'll resave and reupload it in about 2 hours.

[Fualkner]

Oh good grief. Make sure that your DF is new and unmodded, Jack. I'm sure it is, but make SURE.

[Jack A T]

I've tried with a new, unmodded version, as well as a modded version.

[dresdor]

Funny thing is that I can't even get it *not* to run without modding files.  

Step by step:
Download Dwarf Fortress from bay12
Download PrisonCamp.zip from the download site
Unzip Dwarf Fortress
Run dwarf fortress, and exit
Unzip Region3 from prisoncamp.zip to the dwarf fortress/data/save/ folder
Run dwarf fortress and continue playing on region 3

that should do it.
