Are you running Vista? If so you have to disable ASLR on the Dwarf Fortress executable file.

So 3D Dwarf is amazing. I can see how it's going to make me think more in the future when it comes to Fortress design.

My current Fortress is actually my first one, so there's a lot of it that was done just out of experimentation with the game. My workshops are in bad locations, I have a poorly set up farming system, and my bedrooms are impractical. But I did manage to complete two large towers outside the main entrance, along with a large roof over the entrance way, and I've carved out walls in the front. I also have a bottomless pit, and about 3/4 of the way up it I built a pyramid like structure that rises up out of it. I'm planning on adding a large spire on the very top. The pyramid has large holes in the bottom for dumping and is also used to store my coffins for the 50+ dwarves I've gotten killed so far 

I'll upload a picture of my meager fortress once I figure out how

I remember building what I thought was a huge wall, it was 2 levels tall and had walkways along the top... then when I saw it in 3Dwarf, I realized it totally sucked.

Beautiful, works perfectly now. Thanks!

The City of Worship, home to my new community/game fortress.

From my post in Warriors of Armok:

A tour of The City of Worship:

Spoiler: Entrance (click to show/hide)

 

Spoiler: Phoenix Chamber (click to show/hide)

My de-clother disguised as a lazareth chamber. Clothing gives a very slight defense bonus and the dwarves will lose their clothes anyway on their first death, so to keep things fair I killed all the dwarves in this and brought them back to life. I did use this however to permanently kill off my two-dozen worker dwarves that I didn’t need anymore and I made a video of it. I believe their last words were “We built this city, we built this city on rock and magmAAAAAAH!”

See the video here.

Spoiler: Resident Building (click to show/hide)

This building has holds 24 rooms, a meeting hall, a large dining hall and a rooftop lounge. This is basically where the 7 starting dwarves and any non-warrior I didn’t kill off stay.

Spoiler: Warriors Lodge (click to show/hide)

 
As the name suggests this is where the warriors stay. It has 32 rooms including the Champions Room, an extremely lavish 2-part room where the WoA Champion gets to stay. In the first picture you can see the balcony on the right, that’s where the Champions Room is. You can get a better idea in the map I uploaded at the DF Map Archive. This building also has a dining hall, a rooftop lounge and a large rectangular sparring area under the roof (it’s just for show, the dwarves won’t be doing any sparring).

Spoiler: Temple (click to show/hide)

A simple temple to Armok. It hold ten statues, has a sacrificial altar and contains a hidden passage down to the weapon and armour storage area that the warriors use for quick access.

Spoiler: Phoenix Mansion (click to show/hide)

Leaders and important dwarves stay here, that’s all you need to know.

Spoiler: The Amphitheater (click to show/hide)

Information on the Amphitheater:
-3668 Marble Blocks were used in its construction.
-It holds 162 Marble Statues.
-There are 4 Sky boxes (18 seats each).
-There are 2 Private seating areas (10 seats each).

I think I just had a projectgasm.

We have a winner.

one question... Where are your farms and food production?

one question... Where are your farms and food production?

He  needs none. This place has so much of pure awesomeness that it condensates and can be ingested orally.

[Mel_Vixen]

Hmmm i was thinking a bit. Would it be possible to these two things:

1) Switch to a Java base so the viewer can be used as "Applet" on a webpage. and

2) Condensing the data the Viewer draws from the memory into a small file which can be used by the Applet suggested in point 1.

It would be neat to see the Forts in 3D without posting hundrets of screenshots on The Map-archive for example.

[BloodBeard]

one question... Where are your farms and food production?

There are none. It wasn't really made to be a functioning fortress, but it would work just fine with a farm patch or two.

[Crossroads Inc.]

BAH! thats cheating! How did you build it then? How do you build huge things without a functioning self sustaining group of dwarfs food and booze? Look at my forts, not as big or as impressive but built in the middle of raids, dragons, snatchers and other such things.

[atomicoctobot]

Wow, Bloodbeard, that's just gorgeous. I love it.
