Yes, Eagle-Eye. Or I should say 'sort of.' I ran an old backup save and it worked, but I experienced EVERY bug that's been reported. After generating a new world, and starting a new fort, I found that I had much fewer bugs.

edit: whoops, wrong thread.

Is this compatible with .03 save games?

Should be.

would that include graphics working? or has noone gotten that to work? (I haven't bothered to read past page 15...)

I don't think the graphics are working, unless Baughn fixed it with a ninja version.  But I kinda use the regular 800x600 curses, so I haven't kept up to date on that subject.

As for saves being compatible note that although .03 saves work in .04, .04 saves don't seem to be readable to .03.  So if you copy a save into .04 I wouldn't expect it to work if you move it back to .03 (Like to use a utility or something.)  Usually they work both ways, but I guess something to fix a bug broke that particular aspect.

well, I tried to change all the graphics files to the proper format, and made the necessary changes in the init file, but no success

It's got something to do with the code. Baughn already fixed it and it should be working in 05.

ah. Is the fix going to be released or will it just be integrated when the next update comes out? Because, honestly, what's the fun in dropping prisoners into a pool of red "is about" signs?

There are graphics-related (read: GRAPHICS:YES) issues which have been fixed in 0.31.05, which isn't out yet.

And what's the fun in completely destroying the whole point of the game by adding graphics to it?

Watching 16x16 sprites move about instead of coloured ampersands is hardly "destroying" the game! Ultimately all it's doing is giving you a bit more visual information, and if that helps you play or have more fun, great.

I do not know how will a picture of dwarf give me more info than a ASCII smiley. Anyway I'm used to ASCII and utterly confused by any sort of graphics.

[Wavecutter]

Pointless argument.  If you don't like graphic sets keep it to yourself.

That's because it doesn't...colors etc give more info than a graphics set. That's not a "preferred" argument anyway. Just a fact. Butttt...then creatures etc have their own picture...etc...anyway I'm done. I'll be back when new verisons out

[Ratboy]

If you like graphics use 'em if you don't then don't. No point in complaining. Actually I just wanted to see how posting works.
