Sooooooooooooo i just started playing and having watched 40 tutorial videos i think i have a good grasp on how to get things up and running.  However i ran into the no training dwarves problems which was fixed with this patch.  So how do i get to .11 with all the graphic and tile sets.  The reason i never played before now is i never got the desire to learn how to install 50 different things and edit ini's ect ect.  Is there an easy way to patch to .11 and keep all my mods operating?

On a side note this game is indeed an epic time vampire, but I sure would like to get my dwarfs training. 

Yes i am a newb, and no, i do not know how to read. 

Thanks for your help and thanks for making this glorious game that i've just discovered!

Being as 30.11 came out less than 24 hours ago, and you don't want to mess with the raws yourself, I'd reccomend you just wait a few days for someone to update the noob pack for the latest version.  It's not like it will take more than a couple days, and it's not like 30.10 was such a horrible buggy mess that it was unplayable.

I know how you people feel.

The only solution is to play unmodded. Every time a new version comes out, just edit the .inis so it fits your preferences (5 minutes of effort), and play a new game. Don't use external applications, graphics packs or anything; and don't cry when you have to start over again.

Otherwise I suggest you just stick to your old versions and update to the current ones whenever you actually do have the time

this man speaks words of infinite wisdom.
This is what I do with new versions, but it got a little nuts at 31.04 ->.07 cause updates were like every two weeks or some such madness.

Well you could have asked in the LNP forum thread instead of making a new one.
Really you can start playing with the .10 pack, and (oh, you did!) just upgrade your game later.
But I'll probably put a 30.11 pack together tomorrow. I'm REALLY surprised that there seems to be .xmls for Stonesense and DT already. It took like three weeks for that to happen for .10

Updating is relatively easy if you have only graphical tilesets to worry about - copy all the new files over your existing installation except for init.txt ( and d_init.txt, if you or the Noob Pack maker made any changes to the settings ) located in /data/init, and then follow this advice to make sure your saved game is "updated" as well:

1) delete data/save/region***/raw/ (the whole folder!)
2) copy /raw/ from the main DF folder into your data/save/region***/ folder
