This isn;t about DF2010 per se, but how do I post pics on here so people can see them? I know there's some photo site out there but I'm not sure where? I'm sure this has been answered but I can't find the thread anywhere.

You could use tinypic, imageshack, photobucket or any number of other services that are easily found through google.

I was wondering... I've been watching my arsenal dwarf, and I've noticed he always brings a barrel with him when he does "Prepare Equipment Manifests." 

Is there a reason he needs a barrel to do it?  Or is he interrupting what he was doing previously and maybe intends to return to, barrel at the ready?

Actually now that I think about it, I've noticed the manager doing this sometimes too.  When I noticed it on the manager, he was carrying a strawberry wine barrel.

It seems that my fey mood dwarf wants bars of rock. Does that exist and is it possible to make them?

These smart little dwarves are so organized at their organizer tasks, that they think to BRING BOOZE WITH THEM so they don't have to hunt it down.  Also, they pee on themselves in that chair so they don't have to move.

Yes, that is made of win.

I've seen the barrel-carrying thing, too, with a hammerdwarf. I assumed he just forgot to put it down before starting on his next task (no, he didn't practice with it).

Is there a way to force dwarfs to pick up bolts?   I have an crossbow squad who are almost all hammer dwarfs now because they refuse to pick up bolts and just use their xbows as a bad hammer.

[vorpal+5]

make sure the bolts are not already in the quivers...

if there is no bolt, then check if their other arm is not already equipped (stealing socks from a comrade is possible with dorfs), in this case ask them to fight without weapons (wrestlers) then ask again to be marksdwarves

to everyone finding hunters cant hunt - they need a quiver or they wont carry bolts. as in previous versions, hunters seem to grab wooden or bone bolts (mine did once i gave him a quiver), but you can set them now to accept metal ones.

its been posted twice in this thread so far. confused me a whole lot as well, in the old version a dwarf would carry a stack of bolts in his/her hand, and failing that would run out and bash elks and deer to death with the empty crossbow.

this thread lists a bug that also stops hunters from hunting, although im yet to encounter it -

Did the work around.

Urist McStupid is still refusing to hunt.....

Has a quiver, but dumped half his armor, and all of his bolts at the very start.
Went in and assigned all the ammunition, etc, with a manager and all that jazz.
Disabled the labor..waited..re-enabled..waited...waited..checked over the "work around"...Nothing.  Still just sitting there, eating up my booze and food.

Edit: Urist McStupid has finally decided to hunt.  I had to create an ammo stockpile
 for them to go grab the thing out of, for some strange reason.

Second Edit: Urist has been struck by the stupidz, again.  Once they ran out of ammunition (steel bolts) they quit hunting (despite having 50 wooden bolts laying there for the taking, and ammunition use set on ANY material, in the manager)

as for the barrel thing, i set a military dwarf to use any melee weapon, and he grabbed a barrel of serwer brew.

EDIT: and just killed a goblin with said barrel, there is goblin blood on the barrel now..

the Mayday tile set doesn't work with the new patch. The tile set is in the graphics folder, but some reason the game is not using it. Anyone got any idea what I might be missing?

[kilakan]

set [GRAPHICS:YES]  ? in the inti file,

[Kipi]

And changed the init to point the Mayday file?
