uh, i get that too in vista, just right click the download link and save it.

Tried that and it keeps downloading as a firefox document, even if I go and use IE.

:\

try to rename the file extension to msi, then. you had any luck with "pro"? i'm trying it now, it's basically the same thing but with a clumsier interface

[smjjames]

I was able to download the pro normally, but it wouldn't even start up.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the installer? or the program? have you tried compatibility modes?

[smjjames]

The program itself won't start up and I tried a few compatibility modes such as vista and xp.

I also tried renaming the normal thing to msi, but it still thinks the file is a firefox page.

I know that in the DF2010 version statues will have art associated with them. Will this include being able to have statues of gods show up?

Yes, you can buy about seven UMID M1's for its price. But it is smaller, while having the same specs.

Now its doing the 100% thing, I guess it just needes some time to organize the CPU or dunno.

Momuz the three-eyed marmot demon

I really hope the demons are more imaginative than this because all I'm evisioning from that description is a giant marmot with three eyes, and probably with vicous claws and fangs. But even then, that demon fooling the humans into thinking it was their skeletal goddess of death just doesn't quite connect. Unless they are as stupid as our dwarves are most of the time, but even then....

Also, the fact that Toady was able to kill her, in her sleep, without a fight, is extremely anticlimatic.

Still on track here. Scamps learned to fullscreen Dwarf Fortress and he learned that scratching my computer's case is a great way to get attention.

All hail Scamps!

[Stormrage]

All hail Momuz!

[smjjames]

All hail Momuz!

Yea, all hail the nonviolent demon who threatened violence and yet was killed in her sleep without a fight....

[Stormrage]

The Marmot had THREE eyes and had a really cool nickname and lots of followers.
The people liked their leader, it was the corrupt warlord who was the antagonist. He hired an elven assassin to murder the beloved ruler of the humans. A sad story about the demise of a legend...

I'm still waiting for the scamps megabeast. Do you know how much bigger that behemoth is then those little smiley faces?

[Footkerchief]

Hmm...

Is it possible to give certain castes restrictions on what jobs they can do? I'm thinking of making a civ that has a caste of partially-sentient collectors, and rarer and smarter crafters/nobles/etc, as well as a brainless warrior caste.

Nope:

The current version's entity defs have a PERMITTED_JOB tag, but it's unclear whether the next version will allow you to use that on a caste-specific basis, like PERMITTED_JOB:MINER:FEMALE and PERMITTED_JOB:CARPENTER:ALL. 

There's nothing like that at this point.

Yes, you can buy about seven UMID M1's for its price. But it is smaller, while having the same specs.

Let's see, Sony Weird Thing's dimensions, 150x95x35 = 498,750 cubic millimeters

UMID mbook m1: 161x96.5x18.1 = 281,210.65 cubic millimeters

Thinness is worth something, the UMID is VERY slightly wider but only half as thick And way cuter.
