V6.1
Phoebus updated to 31.18v02

about DFconfig...

I saw you guys talking in the thread dedicated to that, well I guess if all three of us work together we could finish it and update it to 2008 for parallel versions (some computers don't support VB5/6)

Left you a message, but if Mason is on board with working with us that'd be cool.

[TolyK]

oops. just realized that those posts were fairly old 

well anyways poked around some more with the code... some stuff is familiar. other stuff I'll need to find on MSDN.

[Rumrusher]

I wonder if you will add darius's Dfusion to it for the shear addons like changing a city to a abandon fort so you can reclaim it or make elves, humans work on a dwarf fort with it?

[TolyK]

depends on the demand I guess, though it's not that much up to me.

I guess we could do that in the expanded pack. BTW what programming language is it written in?

V6.1
Phoebus updated to 31.18v02

A day later and... Phoebus graphics is now up to v03?
Wow, both Lazy Newb and Phoebus seem to update frequently. That's cool.

Yeah, Stonesense is hard to credit. There's a ton of graphical work, even mine.

P.S. I wonder why nobody comments on it. It's a really useful download because I see many people everyday asking "how to install this pack?" .

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          how do i download this game??? i cant find where to download it.

Hi Ecto,
To download the Lazy Newb Pack, go back to the first page of this thread, and on the first post, under the logo, you will see the white heading "Download V6.1 With DF 31.0.18." There are four download options directly under that. The easiest it likely the Winzip link. Just download it, and extract it to whatever directory you desire.

Awesome pack, I love it! 1 question though, is there a way to use the Mike Mayday pack with the Phoebus' water and magma?

[TolyK]

not currently unless you mod it yourself. ask the modding community

NOTE: we've got something BIG planned for 2011  stay tuned

Hey i been loving your lazy newb packs; if it wasn't for them (my first one was 31.12...or 31.16 can't remember).

Anyhow does this change any init, or d_init settings?

I guess what i'm asking is if i was to download and go straight to playing (not using anything else) how close to vanilla is this?
 I realize if i use the no_aquifer program it wouldn't be vanilla.  But yeah, hopefully i was clear with what i was saying.

[TolyK]

very close. as in, I don't remember any differences other than cosmetic 
i think it changes init and d_init

[Jaylow]

I have crazly slow internet  and it disconects  a lot  and that makes downloading anything  very shity
and will i am now at the 4rd time at 43% of the download
i was wonder if there would be n easyer why that would not disconect my download
so i was wondering if you would like to make a torrent of the lazy newb pack and add it to the download list

Thanks a big fan of the game and the lazy newb pack

[TolyK]

uh torrents are REALLY hard to do. sorry, but we don't have a server 

[AllThingsLive]

Aha! I've actually got the values of the water/magma to show by tinkering with the D_init file.
"Show_Flow_Amounts : YES"

The init settings are just Pheobus defaults + turning off Economy. There are very few differences to vanilla. The initial save/autosave/autobackup stuff also doesn't all happen normally. Also whenever you change graphics it copies over init files from their respective packs.
You could easily play with vanilla DF. If you 1) copied the LNP folder from the pack into your vanilla game folder, 2) name that DF folder Dwarf Fortress X, and 3) put the LazyNewbSettings bat just outside that folder, you would have a working LNP pack!

As soon as you ran the .bat It would copy over a few files to your game (dfInit, savegame updater, embark and worldgen) but wont change any init settings unless you install graphics.
