Urgh, this is probably just me being stupid, but I can't configure Konsole to work with the ncurses mode. (It is in UTF-8 mode. So it claims.) Help?

Spoiler: Screenshot with broken characters (click to show/hide)

(The same thing happens on the Linux console. Which is also in utf-8 mode.)

(Edit: It works fine with uxterm. !?!?)

Have you tried forcing the character encoding to be cp1252 and/or ISO-8859-1 in Konsole?  I'm assuming you have the correct locale information installed since it works in uxvt.

View -> Character Encoding -> Western European -> whatever

Two bugs so far.  Procedures/details in the spoilers.
1. Binding display value not updated when displayed binding is removed.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Go to the key bindings, world category.  Add to the TITLE entry an SDL binding of 'Alt+t'.  Delete the default binding of 't'.  Go into the world generation screen, you will see it still displays 't'.

Suggested fix rebuild the display cache keydisplay whenever a binding is deleted.

2. Pressing shift while holding 2 arrow keys causes 1 of the arrows to become lost.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Load up a save and press 'k' to display a cursor.  Press and hold the up arrow.  Press and hold the right arrow.  At this point the jitter diagonal is fine.  While still holding both arrows, press the shift key.  The cursor will now move straight up.  The same result occurs irregardless of the order in which the arrows are pressed and affects both left and right.  The results when using down with left or right likewise have the cursor just move down.

I just have to say that [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] is AWESOME!

Does anyone know if this will be copied over to the full large release when Toady merges the 40d# line?

I believe so. I think anything added needs to be OKed by Toady.

I have a bit of a problem and was hoping I could get some help with this.

So, the reason I want to move to 40d17 is for the frame rate increase.  I'm currently doing a YouTube Let's Play of Dwarf Fortress and while it runs passably well for a fort in a human town when I'm NOT recording, it runs awfully slow when I am, using regular 40d.

So I got 40d17 based on the suggestions of my subscribers and went to try it out.

I edited the init file to reflect the resolution I would like and read about some of the changes.  I noticed that, for the [PRINT_MODE:STANDARD] it suggested that if I experience slow frame rates on the title screen I try one of the other available modes.

Well, I ran it and lo, low frame rate on the menu. 

So, I switched it over to 2DASYNC.  Fixed the speed problem, but, now, FRAPS doesn't recognize the game as a recordable item.  I assume it turned off OpenGL completely, thus, FRAPS doesn't see it as a game.  I tried all the other 2D modes and they all fixed the speed problem, but none of them work with FRAPS.

In conferring with another forumite, 166291, I compared system specs to see why his ran fine on STANDARD and mine did not.  The only thing we could really come up with is that I'm running a 64 bit operating system.  Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.  I'm also using Direct X 11.  I have the most current video card drivers and direct x version and everything else seems to be in order, so, I am posting this 1st to see if it is of any use to the dev team and 2nd to see if there is any way I can resolve my interesting connundrum. 

He tried it out and confirmed that FRAPS doesn't recognize Dwarf Fortress as a game in any of the 2D modes, but he told me to try out 40d16.

40d16 does work with fraps, but, compounding the problem, now I get the menu/game lag on ANY of the print modes, even the 2DHW and async, standard and all the other ones.

Halp?

i am using a laptop and i cant seem to figure out how to switch the numberpad + and - keys to the ] and [ keys

You can find them in the interface.txt in your data folder. 

Here is the relevant wiki page, with a specific set of pre-made bindings for laptops:

I believe that DF has a built-in recorder. Why not use that instead of FRAPS?

[Footkerchief]

Because, as he said, he's posting them on youtube.

[valcon]

Yeah, it isn't even necessarily a problem with DF because MOST people playing it won't be recording in fraps. 

The only reason I really brought it up was the interesting bit about how it worked in 16 but not in 17, even though 16 had the slow framerate issue.  Thought it might be at least interesting from the dev standpoint.  I can live without it, it would be NICE, but it isn't absolutely necessary. 

I do, however, fear that the next version official version merged with 40d17 might be unrecordable.  Again, not a problem with the GAME so much as with the game + an external program.  I can't expect the programmers to deal with how the game deals with every program running out there, but I was hoping I was just doing something wrong. 

Anyway, I'll carry on without it but hopefully something will come up. 

[Malicus]

I don't believe that 40d16 HAD a 2D mode, so who knows what putting that in the init actually gave you.  I believe that was newly added in d17.  I believe it's also been stated that the OpenGL modes are all kinds of messed up in d17 currently, and they only work properly for a select few.

[Banana]

those bindings are for 40d, not 40d17

[Andir]

Also, you mention you have a DirectX11 card (which has nothing to do with OpenGL) ... what brand?  I heard some time ago that ATI cards do not perform as well as nVidia cards in OpenGL modes.  I'm not sure if this is still true though.

[Baughn]

It's still true. A select few ATI cards work fine with opengl; most do not. Generally, the ones that work are the ones they also sell to apple.

You may be able to record using something other than fraps. VNC, for example; I know there are "clients" that produce a movie, and VNC should work fine withe the 2D modes.

[koitsu]

You might try using something more effective than FRAPS.  You know, like a combination of SCFH DSF and VirtualDub?
