Incidentally this is broken by 40d.
Not that anything significant changed, just that there's no repository file to deal with it, so it errors out.

[Proteus]

Same obviously goes for Tweak.

Seems like the changes from 40c to 40d were no small changes concerning the way, the DF data are kept in memory

Patience, grasshoppers, Jifodus needs to update his site with each version and he doesn't live on the forums.

Incidentally, Jifodus, when you read this, please rename the 40d file to include the .core. again.

Oops. I'd forgotten when I uploaded it last night... I typed in the name manually instead of my normal copy & paste.

And yeah, I don't live on the forums. Also, I usually don't notice a new version until a post like jaybud4's shows up. I'm also usually here for most of the day, however, school has started up again and I've started getting a bit distracted.

Wait, does this work in 40c now? I downloaded it a little bit ago and it only had versions listed up to 38c still.

[Sukasa]

Yes, it does.  I'm still running 40c, and 3Dwarf works fine in it.

[Jude]

Sweet

See the problem?

Anyway, I believe they're working on a new, realtime version with a completely different name?
I was told that, anyway.
Somebody feel free to tell me my informant was lying.

[QuantumSawdust]

They are indeed working on a new realtime project, though I do hope they will eventually go back and add in some of the textures they have come up with into this standalone version. As much as viewing Dwarf Fortress in real time is mind blowingly awesome, there are times when i just want to fly around with no framerate drop in this version.
Also, I would cut some slack with the bumping - this is one of my favorite threads, getting to see the architecture everyone else has come up with is inspiring to say the least. I'd rather have it remain condensed in one or a few threads than spread out into a ton of different ones whenever the old one hasn't been replied to for a week.

Cut some slack?  I believe that's the OPPOSITE of what the rest of that post made me believe you wanted.
Cut some slack = Relax/Don't do it
You WANT us to bump this one so that others won't post a dozen threads with their stuff, right?

[Random832]

I think Z-levels should be taller than tiles are wide.

Think of the space that a bed takes up vs the space between two floors of a building (yes, dwarves are shorter than humans, but still)

I think that floors should be 20% of the width of a tile thick, and that the open space between a floor and ceiling should be 130%, for a total of 150%

NEvermind, I see this has apparently been changed since the earlier pics I was looking at.

Well, as far as semantics go, I was merely writing shorthand.
As in, not "cut some slack with the bumping action"
but
"cut some slack with the bumping issue"

In my experience, simply stating it as I did is perfectly acceptable colloquially, but maybe that just means I need to get out of (literally) the dumbest state of the union.

[Jay]

Cut some slack with the bumping - Just that, as you used it, is assumed to mean that first sentence you said.

What I would have said is "Don't get angry over the bumping..." or something similar.
Something that makes it blatantly obvious.
Tone of voice is something that determines what people interpret your sentences as.
Obviously, since there IS no tone of voice in text, you need to say what you mean and mean what you say.
(Especially when at least a third of the people reading it don't even know what colloquy is...)

[QuantumSawdust]

In my defense, I have never heard of someone using 'cut some slack with X" in any context except in regards to someone else's criticism, so I hadn't expected there to be any other possible way to interpret it. Poorly written though? Sure, that much is agreed on.
