Minor, but all the fish are duplicated on embark. Is this something to do with castes, or a system oddity.

It's castes, yeah.

[Grax]

Also there's bug with remains naming - looks like - {bat } - i think it could be {bat remains}, but secondary word doesn't shown.

Er.. is there meant to be a square bracket in front of that? (Taken from militia commander).

I'm not actually playing the new version yet- I have plenty of 40d forts I haven't finished with, the bug reports worry me, and I'm scared of having to learn how to irrigate and I don't want to play ASCII/work out how to install a tileset (considering how I managed to mod the last version I could do it, but with a pre-installed mayday likely to be released soonish I don't have the motivation)

Nevertheless I've been looking through the raws I will probably be tempted into the arena, adventure mode and maybe a quick fortress. Looks very interesting so far- if I get into modding it again it may be far better of far worse than last version thanks to the added complexity.

With Wine on Mac (running through X11) DF 31_01 doesn't work properly. You can play, but the graphics screen is permanently stuck at the default size. There's no way around it, either, until X11 is updated.

Awesome new features

Regarding the frame rate: I've found (as has Rafal99) that setting PARTIAL PRINT to YES in init.txt improved FPS from 35 to the cap of 100. Strange.

The new military screen seems excellent, though it took a while to get used to it. I think its non-obviousness exemplifies the need for some sort of quick tutorial at some point. For now, reading the Wiki's release information was quite useful in understanding it.

The ASCII is much, much easier to use if you modify the init to show many more tiles. I use

Code: [Select]

[WINDOWEDX:960]
[WINDOWEDY:600]and

Code: [Select]

[GRID:120:50]
Also, "cat cancels store item..." has evolved into "Baby cancels clean self: too insane."

Try this: http://www.winehq.org/
It's an emulator (ok, not technically an emulator) that can run windows programs on non-windows machines.

Using wine annoyed cuz with wine game freezes repeatedly, sometimes have to press ENTER twice and map moving is bugged. [chanting] We want native versions!

Don't forget to report this here:

We have a new bug tracker at http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/

If it's not reported already!

Don't bother for that one, it's known.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but digging a down staircase results in an up staircase immediately below it, even if if an up/down staircase is designated. The workaround I've been using is to ramp an adjacent square, remove the staircase, and (C)onstruct an up/down stair.

Could not reproduce, probably a fluke.

I'm so happy it's released. Just a few weeks, and the acid rain should be out.
Forgotten beasts were a great idea by the way, it really improves the game. Real-life mythology is filled with things like half-serpent, three-eyed lions, so it gives it a feeling of myth rather than boring, generic, heard-it-a-million-times fantasy.

[Nether]

Hey, been a while!
I wonder whether there is a simple buglist somewhere, with all known bugs for this version on a row.

Will wait a few weeks before testing, first exams (Thank god I have the power to keep myself from downloading XD)

EDIT: The only thing I found is this:
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=51953.0
But if that's all we have found in 3 days then this must be an extremely clean version!

[Tayron]

Not sure if 23 pages counts as clean? ^^
But, after playing a bit, I"ve run into relatively few bugs...at least, major issues.

...The military confounds me to no end though, and I can't help but think I'm doing something.  I'll have to nose around the Wiki...and failing that, I'll post my plea for help on the forums.

I downloaded this yesterday before work (now that I got a job, the toad will be getting his due).

I didn't get to play it until this afternoon.

I miss all the features from 40d, and am looking forward to the graphics merge, but until then this is simply delicious.

Between learning to irrigate mushroom farms, learning how burrows work, and completely failing to gain a useful understanding of the military screen, my fortress, in the "Realm of Wonders" is doing quite badly.

There are twelve dwarves and four animals left, and we haven't even made it to spring yet. It's like the good old days, before I knew what I was doing.

Another default alert that actually puts dwarves in an agressive stance would be nice. Active/Train isn't really a useful mode when the goblins arrive.

[Tayron]

Hmm....a dwarf was possessed, and made an artifact puzzle box, complete with menacing spikes and all.  I'm totally just waiting for the Cenobites to come and start taking my dwarves away.

So, military...  Apparently, it's very important to put a stockpile with some food in the barracks.  That way, they'll keep training and such, but won't neglect to drink/eat.  ...Though they don't keep training...they keep reverting to peasants and such.  But, the moment I tell them to go somewhere, they suddenly don their armor and area ready to go.

Apparently the part about needing to irrigate mushroom farms is a bug...although I kinda like it, adds just another hurtle to overcome.

I'm still very fuzzy on burrows...I 'think' I understand them a little, I just haven't fiddled enough.

My worst problem thus far was not having any real weapons when one of my dwarves went berserk.  My militia went at him with training weapons, and while he didn't really hurt them, it took the lot of them forever to take the berserk dwarf down.

The option to keep bones also seems to have vanished?  Unless I'm missing it somewhere.
It is rather interesting that you get so much more meat and bits from the butchers.  Hair, lungs, nervous system tissue, liver, etc....

[Acanthus117]

Yeah, I lol'd so hard when I found some sweetmeat on a kobold corpse.
