i dont know how to upload saves im not a real wizz with computers. All i did was delete the aquifer or what ever it is (that's what i meant by something)
so ya   

[Draco18s]

Make a zip file of the region folder inside your DF install directory /data/save
Upload zip file here

[Begory]

I think i might just reinstall would that solve the problem?

[Deathbane]

Please can you try on the grammar and spelling? People wont help you if you come across being an idiot!

Now thats over with, yes, reinstalling would probably solve the problem, but if it IS a bug with dwarf fortress itself, we need you to post a save and the raw files. otherwise we wont know if you cause dit by modding or if its an actual df bug!

[Begory]

I know I have grammar problems but i honesty didn't find any flaws with "I think i might just reinstall would that solve the problem?" or spelling mistakes I would also recommend checking your post for grammar and spelling before others "People wont help you if you come across (as) being an idiot!" you kind sir are think of punctuation. Any ways so how do i make a zip file like i stated earlier i'm not a wizz with computers so you'll have to bare with me.

Deathbane: As much of a grammar nazi as I am, please don't be a dick. Seriously! It doesn't help matters.

[Begory]

um.. thanks g-flex but my question still hasn't been answered. How do i make zip folders or files. Do i just make a new folder and copy paste or what?

[Footkerchief]

Google, man.

And yes, reinstalling will almost certainly fix your problem, and the problem will never come back unless you try to "delete aquifers" again.

I wasnt trying to be a dick, i was simply stating that he should try and change his posting style. That is all, and if you would read my reply, i answered his question. The reason other people might not have been posting a reply is that they think 'Why should i help someone who asks obvious questions, in a obviously immature way?'. When people see posts like 'or what ever because it plagues the game shoudnt cause all my pplz to be chicks like caravans migraters it quite annoying because my pop can grow so please any advise like reinstalling?' it immediately annoys them.

Also asking questions that could easily be answered if he looked it up on google means people will NOT post. 

I was only suggesting he does this so he would get more helpful replies if he followed these two rules, not to offend or drive him out of the forums.

Now that's off my chest, i'll answer your question : search for winRAR on google, i think the url is www.rarlabs.com but don't take my word on that, i havn't been on the site for ages. Once downloaded, go into your dwarf fortress folder, data, and copy the save folder onto your desktop. Then go back into your main dwarf fortress folder, and copy the raw folder onto your desktop. Once this is done, highlight both of them, rickclick, and compress them using one of the options. Then, go to www.megaupload.com, upload the file, and link us through this thread.

You could also use whatever program you unzipped dwarf fortress with to do a similar task.

Anyhows, reinstalling Dwarf Fortress and generating a new world should solve this problem.

Also, for your future enjoyment.

Oh im sorry some times i don't realize when i type pplz or people ill try to keep that in mind. Well i could look how to do fix my problems on the internet with DF but i thought this was the point of this forum to help people. I know its kinda a wast of time to help step by step (and i usually get confused other wise) but its just making an effort, just like how im changing my post stile to be more appealing to the people of these forums. It would be a massive waist of my time for me to go to google and try to figure out what links are actually helpful. I'm not talking about your links just google in general and how annoying it can be. So ill reinstall and if this ever comes up again ill make a zip. lastly I would like to apologize for my grammar i personally hate trying to read some thing that says "I finds this error in my computer other day it says bad error missing what i do?" so ill check over and make sure it reads correctly

this was kinda a pointless post   

     

[Begory]

Just to warm your hearts 

Im gonna post on how my fotress is doing. With the forums help it took a lot of time dedicated to this game to figure out how to do what but i have gotten a good grasped on it! I have about 30 Dwarfs with a sheriff a self sustaining food pile and a good amount of stone and flux. I'm currently working on trying to rap my head around smelting but I'm sure with the forums help ill figure it out so just to know im grateful for the help im receiving and am trying to not be a noob who waist your time. I dont really know the point of this post just so you know i wont be bugging you guys till im fifty i guess. Dont know if a lot of people do this thanking thing might be a bit weird so this is properly the only time ill use a post to say thanks because its kinda sappy sooo ya enjoy because I'm not doing this again   

 just thought you should get some feed back

Its ok! Iwa sprobably a bit too headstrong on how i came across anyway.

If you need any help, try going to the wiki at http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Page

[varkarrus]

If we locked Deathbane up in a room with lolcats. He would go insane. Slowly.

[Tormy]

Oh, at least you won't have problems with the babies.
