Anyway....
The thing that has stopped me from finishing the first map is that no matter what happens for me, I never get the Arsenal Dwarf, SO NONE OF THE DWARVES WILL EQUIP ANYTHING...

This is the 4th time I got over 20 Dwarves and no luck....

Ugh...

I retract this statement... Plus I am experiencing only something like 10 or so FPS on the second year. Oh well... ^_^ And I have 7 Axemen and 6 Marksmen in training... And soon I will be starting my Main Base near the Magma Sea... And FINALLY I can start planing everything else... And I have only had one death. No one cared though. He got a nice Coffin behind a Statue that will be his Headstone. Its a Statue of a Dwarf... And well I am actually having fun now that I have everything work... Also did you know the Humans bring Valley Herbs. Gotta start making some Vials soon... AND if you haven't guessed. I am Sleepy and saying goodnight now...

And well I am actually having fun now that I have everything work...

Don't say things you'll regret...

[Neyvn]

So after my Save corrupted I thought that bugger it I won't make the End time for the Undead Map. But nothing has been said for a while here. So whats happening???

[Jim Groovester]

That is a good question. The first deadline is coming up.

Has anybody even finished yet? I haven't and most likely won't.

[Retro]

I gave up a few weeks ago, although I wasn't playing with intent to submit anyhow. I'm still ready to judge, but didn't seem like many people were still going on this one.

[barconis]

I'm not going to make it to eight years. My spirit is broken . I've finally gotten to mid-winter of 1057 (at 3 FPS), only to have 3 FBs pop into my fort at once. Two of them went down pretty easy, like the knobbly steam dude did the year before, but the third is some kind of ice falcon that spams a knockout gas. It's all red and black, so it just pushes things and does hardly any damage, but my military is piled unconscious in the corner with it. It's a much smaller stack than the massive ball of war dogs out in the cavern, gnawing on a zombie gorlak, which I was going to pour magma on... I'd've made it too, if my miners digging the pump stack hadn't broken into the cavern where that FB trio was hanging out. I suppose I could train all new miners -- got plenty of picks -- but I think I'll just wait for the next go-round. It sounds like the merge will be done within the next week or two, and having those bug fixes will make it much nicer.

[Kipi]

Okay, what I gathered is that Martin is (or already has?) regenerating new world, and when the merge comes out the competition is relaunched with new world. When that happens, the deadline will be changed as well, and it will be the same for every OS.

Though it seems that you can always use the old world for the competition, it's up to you. But thus far the deadline is not correct as we are waiting for the merge to come out...

[eerr]

I thought 40#d was supposed to be a graphics merge.

[Moontayle]

I thought 40#d was supposed to be a graphics merge.

It's also what allows Linux and Mac users to have a native copy of the game, which is, outside of gamebreaking bugs and unkillable zombies, ultimately causing this reboot. Plus, the overall game should run a lot smoother and getting everything done in three week's time will be feasible.

[Jimmy]

Not to mention it's difficult to win points for healthcare when surgery and traction are broken, and points for military when it's completely FUBAR.

[Jetsquirrel]

aren't we waiting for the new ver which also allows the mac users to play? and fix some serious bugs?

[darkrider2]

Hey can you take me off the list... I'm not going to be participating. kthnx

[Josiwe]

Hey, just to throw this out there for what it's worth.

I was interested in trying out the original save, but I learned to play on Mike Mayday's 40d18 release and so I need those graphics to play... I can't really decipher the ASCII version. So I downloaded his latest package, which is for .31.03.

I then downloaded the DFM3-Embark save file, which I believe was genned for .31.01, and copied it into the Mayday installation's /data/save/ folder.

Now on his site he says to copy the raws from the master directory into the save folder, so I did this, taking the 31.03 raws and pasting them into the DFM3-Embark/raw/ directory. I was able to load and play the site, but soon encountered this issue:

I was unable to smelt ore, as soon as I tried I got a cancellation message "needs ore" when several pieces were lying on the ground. I assumed it was a raws issue related to the hoops I had jumped through earlier.

When .31.04 comes out, I believe that's the one with the 40d OpenGL code merged in, and I think Martin said he'd gen a new save file. Should that work? I mean at that point the vanilla download and the Mayday package should be identical except for the graphics, right? So a game genned in one should work in the other?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

I think that .03 broke older saves if I remember correctly, And yes .04 is the merge version and that one most probably will feature some save breaking fixes.

[Eztuzt]

I don't think I'll be able to turn anything in, caught up with Cavebrands and life, so I'm dropping out :/

Sorry guys!
