Edit: We can bring .05 saves over, right?

My .05 save works fine in .06 (Win 7 Pro 64bit)

w00t nice!

Where's the bowing smilie?Toady deserves it. If I had money, I'd definitely donate some. Good job Toady!

Edit: We can bring .05 saves over, right?

just to clear this issue up, the version format works like x.y.z
as long as x and y are the same, if z is different it is safe, if z is the same, then you can figure it out.

Hi!

Actually, I am wondering about the complaints about farming and irrigation. I mean, my biggest frustration with the 2D version was the need to irrigate my farms and thus put my fortress at serious risk (by the water itself thanks to the various perma-flood bugs back then, and by the cave river critters). If I recall correctly, I ended up simply channelling the surface river to get the water for my farms. Still, a lot of people were making successful fortresses and were having a lot of fun.

I am wondering - are we a bit too pampered by the 3D version's game mechanics?

Deathworks (who shamelessly uses surface farming for easy gaming :) :) :) )

Toady, there's something fishy about the cursor thing and the new version . I get occasionally the "unhandled win32 exception" mistake after some time playing. 5-10 minutes. For both DFG and DF without Graphics...

When i try to specify an individual armor or weapon, i can't find the ones i've produced, in verson 03 this bug was fixed, but now it was back again.

This problem is just with me?

Hooray for fast bug fixes!

Regarding moving .05 saves to .06:

There have been a few changes to the raws. Since DF now creates a copy of the raws for every saved game, I assume it's not enough to paste the saved game folder into the corresponding directory in .06, but we also need to copy the new raws into /save/region#/raw, in order to make the changes apply to the saved game.

Is this correct?

Is it normal the init.txt and interface.txt went back few versions back in term of syntax and possible settings ?

d_init.txt has all the settings init.txt is missing.

[LargoTuek]

not sure we're speaking about the same thing...

I really do speak about the init.txt that was present in 0.31.03, not in 0.31.05, and that seems to be back in 0.31.06.

but I'm gonna check with all possible downloads, I think I missed sth by downloading the 0.31.06 legacy and trying to compare it with my 0.31.05 that is possible packed differently... (no more msvcxxx.dll as well...)

Edit: forget it: I've just discovered the difference between a SDL and a legacy version...

I just had to post here to say that playing DF in my android phone via ssh into my linux machine is pretty damn sweet, even if I cannot actually play properly due to keyboard mapping issues with connectbot, the geek factor alone has me ecstatic  .

Which raws were changed?

[Orkel]

Toady, fix the marksdwarves next

Marksdwarves being broken really impacts the military as we have no long range capacity at all.

Which raws were changed?

The full list is on file_changes.txt. It's mostly adjusting the material properties for teeth, horns, and other natural materials, which were the same as skin. So, effectively, making giant war tigers useful again.
