I'm confused as to which one to download, and I have a very slow connection, so mistakes are quite costly. Also, is there any way to copy the data and raws from a 3D version to 2D without damaging the game itself?

[martinuzz]

The last 3d version would be 0.23a

And no, copying data from 3d to 2d won't work, neither are savegames compatible.

[jerank]

What about Raws files?

[Ironhand]

Raws should be mostly reverse-compatible, but there might be new tags that the 2d game doesn't recognize.

[Shiv]

There...was a 3d version?  It wasn't always ASCII?

[smjjames]

It's still ASCII, the 3D part is the z-levels. There aren't any creatures or single buildings stretching multiple z-levels. Yea you can build a wall multiple z-levels high, but each segment is only one z-level.

[Ironhand]

Yeah, this is the 3D version.

It used to be all one z-level.

[Shiv]

Ah, I follow.

Buildings stretching multiple Zs would be pretty cool.  Don't know if it's technically possible though.

...I don't think you do follow.

You can build a multiple Z-level building already - by using stairs or ramps.

i think he means rooms mainly.

No I do follow.  I meant individual buildings.  Like a windmill being several z levels tall.

Ah, I understand. I just think of the windmill "building" as the fanes only - I make a tower and attach the windmill on top to get a real windmill.

The 2d version was much, much better and more fun to play
