That's right

Hmm..  What version of DF are you even using?
"The latest" is a misnomer.
That could refer to 40d (the latest official version) or 40d16.

0.28.181.40c (downloaded from the Bay12 site here)

As jaybud4 is suggesting, you could try a different version of DF... try Mike Mayday's DFG, it's the one I'm using so it works - http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php.

Also try another utility such as Visual Fortress or Khazad to see if they can access DF: http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Utilities

Ah HA! It was my version of DF.
Thanks so much guys. Works now.
really love that Mike Mayday DF. Double thanks for that link.

Regarding objects in DF itself:

I've only done basic programming and I've got no idea how DF works, so I may be way off, but wouldn't it make more sense for object updating to be tied to actions instead of the object itself?

As mentioned, jobs go from items to dwarfs, and besides- you must know where they are to display them, no?

Another heads up, that I've chucked my creature pack for the "large_ocean" raw up on the content repository. Still missing a few sharks and some other sea critters, but since I'm probably going to be busy for the next week I thought I'd chuck it up for any aquarium building dwarfies

Would it be possible for a large screenshot feature? As in, setting a second set of draw settings that only apply to that feature, allowing one to get an image larger than their screen resolution? For example, if I wanted to showcase a large area of my fortress it'd be much easier to take a single larger screenshot than stitch together several smaller ones.

Or even a feature to export a huge image of the entire map, current z-level or multiple, would be welcome. It would be large, but you could crop to taste.

I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

I've been wanting that feature as well.

[Dark_Tundra]

I managed to solve the graphical problem by loading the image back into msPaint, rotating it 90° clockwise, saving, then rotating 90° counterclockwise, and saving again. (simply resaving did nothing to fix the problem)


On another topic, is there currently any way to change the color of the lines drawn on far cliff edges? 0x353535 would suit my needs better as It doen't work so well as it is as colours approach that of the line.

You mean like the Export Local Map feature?

Would be awesome if something similar to the DFMA could be rigged up.

That is amazing.
Though I think that would reduce our viewing area significantly, it'd be so, so worth it.

I think he's referring to something more like this:

That map/image was made with Minecraft, by the way.

[forsaken1111]

Yes that's exactly what I mean.

[Jay]

I would like that feature.
And an option to autosave that image at regular intervals.
Time lapse isometrics are awesome.
Minecraft again:

OH MY GOD 

I love the rough stone and the fact everything is not symetric - looks so good.

[LegoLord]

Yes that's exactly what I mean.

That looks like a world map.
