1. is it possible to play this with tilesets?
2. If you make an action, will it be the same for everyone's screen?

[Carnes]

As part of a community i'm helping to host, i made a DFTerm2 Server status page: http://cityofminds.info:800/dfmp/registry.php
If anyone has a server they would like to add, please PM me the info and i'll get it added for you.  When it's done, people can add servers themselves.  I'm also going to add a list of who is online and several other things.  The url will likely change in a few months as it needs to be hosted someplace more stable than my house.

tyrspawn, Yes, you can play with tilesets if you set them up on your client. Here is an example Mayday tileset:

Our steam community has links to windows and linux packages with some tilesets included.  Take a look: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Dwarf_Fortress

Yes, you both play the same game.

I'm having an issue running dfterm2_configure. It fails in every way I try to run it. I do know that if need to be run with command prompt but it either doesn't stay open for longer than 2 seconds or it fails to recognize it all together.

[Windows 7 Pro 64-bit]

[Carnes]

if you run it within the command prompt, you should be able to capture the error.

that didnt answer my question i wanted to know if i see what he does and he see what i do as in he move to the right i move to the right also. Is that what the multiplayer should be like?

Hey all,

I am having an issue with client-side custom sprite packs. The server is happy to run a custom texture set, but whenever I have the client connect to the server it defaults to the plain ascii. I have a couple of players who like to use the mayday pack and I cannot figure out what is going wrong.

I have set the launch path to the C:\DwarfFortress (where I had them place their DF folder) and it is launching fine, but it just refuses to have custom texture packs

edit: Also since I am here, can anyone throw ideas at me as to why the "grab running game" feature is not working properly? I tried that as a solution but the slot just closes every time no matter what I try.

[SolarShado]

I think the "grab running game" feature only works on Linux (or Windows? I forget, but I don't think it worked everywhere.)

As for the client-side tilesets, that'll have to be set up client-side. Not sure if full spritesets work or if it's limited to simple tilesets.

This is the cool part.  They don't even need Dwarf Fortress at all to play
Use these tileset/fonts: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1922
Just install the font and select it within putty (or whatever client you are using).  If you need more help configuring it, give a shout.

[PringleMan05]

Downloaded that pack and as a test installed the Mayday fonts, but Putty wont find it as a valid font. I made sure to tick the allow use of variable pitch fonts but still not showing up. Double checked that it did in fact install and WordPad at least saw it was there so I am definitely going to have to take you up on that config help!

[PringleMan05]

Scratch that, figured it out. Awesome!

Looks like all you're missing is boost. It's odd: the only Arch library package I've come across that's split. Try 'pacman -S boost'. According to my 'pacman -Qs boost', that's the dev package.

Nice ASCII art btw

[frostyfrog]

Thanks for the help, it's compiling now. Anyways, the ascii-art is from a package in the aur called archey2.

Anyways... new problem

After trying to run it in terminal (so that my WM keybindings wouldn't get in the way), I get the following results. I don't know why it didn't correctly translate the lines when writing the terminal to a file, it just did.
