mayday, hurry up 

[Mortiss]

I wonder at which point does a free service to the community become a burden. 
Dealing with expectations and all that mess...

mayday, hurry up 

if i was mike mayday and would do the patching by hand, i'd wait like one week after a release to see if it's stable enough to spent hours of manual work.

believe it or not, my pack here is equivalent to what you get from mike (except that he switched to truetype fonts lately, which imho looks unbearable)

I agree regarding the truetype fonts.. they provide no benefit in my opinion.

I'm not keen on installing Cygwin because I dual-boot xubuntu with Win 7 anyway and spend most of my time in xubuntu (Win 7 for games). That request just caught me in Windows

Seems to me you've got this sewn up, not-withstanding people who can't even copy and paste I like to think if I had more perl know-how I would have knocked something like that up (I can delude myself if I want to).

Sorry I am still new to DF and I am brand new to adventure mode. So this might be a obvious/stupid question. Is there a chart somewhere that says what your new icons for everything represent? To give an example, what a teddy bear represents on the world map? I searched your site and found no luck there.

Tys for any info.

what a teddy bear represents on the world map?

that's one of the disadvantages of using custom tilesets... i don't know that as well. to figure that out you'd have to look up that specific icon's tile number, then look it up in the raws, then look what an unmodded DF does.
or more easily, embark on "vanilla" DF (here the signs are documented in the wiki), and apply the mayday patch afterwards. you have to delete the raws in the savegame's region1 folder, and copy them back from the modded raw folder in DF's root dir (see https://github.com/rofl0r/df-mayday/blob/master/README for how to fix your savegame in detail)
you could also switch back and forth between modded and unmodded DF, and start documentating which mayday icon represents what in map view, and then share that documentation with us.

I don't know what you mean by teddy bear, but the lairs for titans are a sort of small doll. It is also used to indicate as the signage for craftwork shops (selling amulets, bracelets, rings, etc) in towns.

Edit: I should mention that's the icon for my version, which is just a very old DFG tileset that I've been porting over manually with each update. It is by no means a clean affair, but functional. I'm assuming it is the same tile replacing the character in newer mayday sets.

Sorry to be a noob, but... how does one run a .sh file in Windows? That's a UNIX shell script, isn't it?

I'm afraid that those script were already activated, and then it has been made a differential, that is needed just to be unzipped in the DF folder. No need on running those files. (Mine works).

Thank you for the reply. I can't believe it is not documented anywhere. I figured I just hadn't found it yet. Seems like a rather large oversight.. Anyway I have made very little headway sorting out what = what. I tried to revert back to vanilla DF and it either won't recognize my save game or I did something wrong. Going to have to play with it more.

I tried to revert back to vanilla DF and it either won't recognize my save game or I did something wrong.

you could work with 2 directories like this:
*extract vanilla df into a directory called df_vanilla
*do the worldgen and embark
*copy its content to another dir called df_mayday
*extract above linked dfg_18.zip into it to maydayify it
---repeat the following steps as needed
copy data/save from one folder (sourcedir) to another (destdir)
delete destdir/data/save/region1/raw
copy destdir/raw to destdir/data/save/region1/raw

OK I don't know if I downloaded the wrong file or what, but the latest version that I downloaded here http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.php got me a graphics set that is radically different then the traditional mayday graphics Im used to.  Everything had a very washed out pastel color to it, there were "bats" instead of the normal mineral picture, and of the eight games I copied into the save folder only one would load :/

That is the version for 31.16. We're now on 31.18. That might be a problem if you just tried to copy them across. Otherwise, you made a mistake somewhere.

[Crossroads Inc.]

checked page one and maydays onsite only has 31.16 :/ is it on another download?

[kaolbrec]

There are other downloads available. You could roll your own with Anallysts utility. Or you could download my version from dffd. Whatever floats your boat.
