The d16-head pack is currently just for debugging. It has no bugfixes, and it runs like molasses in december. Don't use it unless you're having crashes.

[Shurhaian]

Running under Linux, so I can't currently compare to 40d, but I have noticed something.

If I resize the window, performance goes directly into the crapper. I never get more than 20 or so FPS if I drag the window bigger, even if I get around 80-100 with the default window size(I'm running on a fairly marginal machine - 1.6GHz or thereabouts, and it's a Celeron at that).

Also, I still dare not zoom-to-building from the job or unit view, but at least now I know it to be seg faults.

[Veroule]

Added macro repeat adjustments to my bug list.  Thanks for the report.

[CobaltKobold]

small addendum: it won't segfault if you add a command but immediately try to alter repeat of "Add Command" after- but it will make DF hang on some other trigger that I ha'en't figured (once did on macro screen, once when I returned to main menu and selected quit), though the sound keeps going fine. While still grabbing all keys, if you're fullscreen, making it hard to kill. Blargh.

Hey Baughn, I just wanted to report that while using an oversize main tileset causes problems with the initial tilegrid calculation, using an oversize CREATURE tileset doesn't. A 16px main tileset with 64px creatures works all right, though I still am able to change the tilegrid to 80:25 on 1280x1024 which I'd rather wasn't possible. But it's ok (for now) as long as the game starts in 80:64.

So about those mipmaps...

[Baughn]

Eheh.

I've got it on the list - to be implemented at the same time as SVG tilesets and animation - but I can't really do it until *after* the next major DF release. I *could* do just the mip-mapping.. but I won't. It wouldn't mean less work later.

Anyway, right now I'm working on the sound routines, which cause actual crashes.

uber noob question:
how do i make graphics packs work? i looked in the wiki and did everything it told me to do (i downloaded dystopian rhetoric), including replacing files and folders, and editing my init.txt, but i still see the same graphics...

p.s. yes Baughn got DF to work for me

[Footkerchief]

You can post your init.txt in [code] tags so we can check it for mistakes.

Still liking d16.  Couple of small bugs I noted:

Invisible starting wagon on glacier map.
Job manager no longer accepts numeric input from the number pad when numlock is off.  It used to, and I grew into the habit of doing so.
Small lag appears when selecting game mode (create, fortress, adventure, legends) from the main menu.

Hope this helps.

Job manager no longer accepts numeric input from the number pad when numlock is off.  It used to, and I grew into the habit of doing so.

This doesn't make sense... Why would a program accept numeric input when the keyboard explicitly says the num-lock is off?

[CobaltKobold]

Wonky programming.

Oh, yeah, now where was it that scrolling was listed as 2/8 (and works as usual with arrows) but increase/decrease is listed as 4/6 and doesn't...

I have one question for you, why does pressing escape do nothing after I'm dead in adventurer mode? it seems as though it is still stepping forwards after death

[TomiTapio]

I get that too. Try keeping Esc key down and then waiting five minutes for the dialog to appear.

[Baughn]

I'd like to know what's up with that, too. Veroule?

[Dvergar]

but now I get a new announcement "X cancels store owned item: item unreachable" just would like to point it out in the rare event I am the only one

This is "normal". It can happen when a dwarf gets property over an item that is not reachable (underwater for example).

Forgot to mention that they should not be owning anything at this point in th fortress, many didn't even have a bedroom

I feel this needs to get addressed, seems like a bug to me
