Replace the index in the data folder, replace all the main DF files, add the new option from the new init to the old init. Good to go.

Oh boy, deon you sure have a lot of stuff going on...
I plan on making a "DF+" mod with just some point add-ons to the core game in the not so far future (more like when we get a "final" more or less release of .31), I wonder if you would share some of the stuff in here 

[Deon]

Sorry for the double post, Ill just keep bothering you until you tell me to go away
Soooo
I did everything you asked, Copied and replaced the objects folder in the raw folder and the art folder in the data folder and changed the graphics option on the init file to yes.
I go to the testing arena, and even though i do get all the new stuff like balors and beholders, the game is in ascii, not the tileset.
Any idea what i did wrong?
Thanks for you patience

Are you sure you copied whole RAW folder, including GRAPHICS?
Did you go into the /data/init.txt and set [GRAPHICS:YES]?

Okay. You take the whole /raw folder and /data/art/ and /data/init/init.txt; then you go to init.txt and switch GRAPHICS:NO to GRAPHICS:YES. Oh and also data/sounds/ for the soundtrack. Make sure to grab NOT the ascii version.

Ok, tried something different, I got a fresh install of your prepacked mod and of the new version.
I copied and overwritten the entire Data and Raw folders.
Now it says the main index file is corrupted or  missing.
I did it all again just to be sure, and got the same error.

May Armok bless you for you patience deon

Deon's mod uses DF 31.04.

So, you overwrited the 05 index with the 04 index in the main data folder, plus you also could have overwritten the 05 init.txt with the 04 init.txt (which you shouldn't do because it has a new option).

To fix it, you need the 05 versions of these files.

Ill try that!

WAIT! I made a mistake, it's not init.txt that needs replacing. It's d_init.txt that needs replacing, you can use deon's init.txt. IGNORE THIS.

Also, you need to manually set up the tile set again.

It worked actually. The index file was not a problem anymore, but when i entered the game, no tileset again.
So i just opened both inits and copied everything related to graphics from one to another.
Worked like a charm!
Thanks a lot Sir!
And deon, if you are still putting the players brave enough to play the mod on the first post, might I be added? Genesis rules!

[Tarran]

I ninja-edited before you posted. Errrr.

Anyway, carry on everyone.

So I move all those files to a fresh install? or move those files from a fresh install into old folder?

[Deon]

No, you take a fresh install and copy mod files there.

[JusticeRings]

cant seem to get the graphics to go right. It appears in the normal ASCII and is small in the upper left corner, even though I moved all the settings from the old ini.txt over. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Okay I have the graphics working better but it wont use the normal 1280x800 screen size, its all squished into the top half of the screen even when I have black space off.

[Deon]

You should set up your resolution in X and Y.

[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:800]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:ironhand.png]

in your init.txt
