Tried again, no segfault. maybe a fluke?

Anyways, I'm excited to play, thank toady!

I think it's random. I've generated 10 worlds and got it twice. There's definitely some new error in the worldgen process, but it's expected with all the new additions .

P.S. Are there old towns like before too? I seem to get tons of locations with cottages...

I WANT SHOPS!

Hmmm, this is weird. The first volcano I found on the first map I genned on this release (haven't changed any files at all). Think theres an aquifer as well. Anybody else had this happen to them before? Or is this normal.

EDIT: had the pics in the wrong order
EDIT 2: It does go back into the mountain after 10 levels tho.

Hi!

Thanks for the update. Although it has ruined my plans to take a break from DF. After all, with the bed bug and alien diplomats fixed, I have to give it a try.

Baughn: Completely OT: Interesting, so you like Recettear? I agree that it is fun... Just had to mention that.

Bed bugs seem to be enjoying quite the resurgence in the US at the moment.  Glad to hear you were able to knock them out.  I imagine you'll be getting many interview requests shortly.

Is it just me, or does 'Find Desired Location' now give unusable locations occupied by villages?

I'm pretty sure Toady said he gutted the old towns, and didn't get to replacing them yet.

Yeah, Windows 2000 was EOLed quite a while ago. Microsoft no longer supports it, which makes anyone else supporting it hard.. I'll see what I can dig up, but at this point I don't have high hopes.

Dropping VS 2010 would require rewriting some code, and it would also revert a large part of the performance gain in this version.. why are you still using 2000, if I may ask?

Why would you need to revert a large ammount of performance gain to just re add windows 2000 support? All you need to do is either add a single if at the start of the program so that if the OS version is windows 2000 you run on a different path, or maybe you could just edit the setting in VS2010 to make it output valid win32 exe for windows 2000. (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcpluslanguage/thread/4924c9de-3d0a-4de6-81aa-d6f985136779) That is assuming that it does not break due to changes in how the exe was made, but it might be worth a quick test before adding the first look up at run time to see if you are running windows 2000, or even more ideally compile time and have a link for a windows 2000 version and a windows xp or better version. Properly abstracted it should not be that hard to do, but I don't know how good the code is with regards to that.

HA! I Wish. But then I'd be out of a job.

If the 'if' statement can automatically create multi-target API wrappers for giant 3rd party libraries, rewrite your code to support them, and add compiler options that don't exist then...
I quake at the thought of what this guy could do with a 'for' statement.

A negative number of soldiers isn't a bug! It's protesters!

The number of settlements on the map is absolutely insane.  Trying to enter a site in Adventure Mode brings up around four different towns per tile.   Is this intended?

[Jake]

I think we're getting to the point where any machine old enough to still have Windows 2000 installed will struggle to meet the minimum specifications even if it can theoretically execute the program. If people in Knight Otu's position really can't afford a new PC then they'd be well-advised to switch to Linux anyway.

[Dogun]

Sweet, new release.

I'm eagerly awaiting contaminant fixes, but I guess most of this stuff is probably more important.

[Ampersand]

Those aren't settlements. They're countryside farmland. In the Medieval period, and even today, all large cities need to be supported with vast tracts of farmland around them in order to feed a large urban population. The larger the city, the more farmland is needed. So yes, it is intended. Those settlements are little more than a handful of cottages surrounded by farming fields.

Also, seems the true type font doesn't have the gender symbols in it yet, but I have to say, I like it. I think a different default font would be better, though.

Or Undead?

World gen was slow, but worked fine, on Linux (Debian 5.0 i386).  But I'm not currently playing the .13-generated world.  I'm still on a fortress from .12.  Which is also running fine so far.

I didn't see any issues with shared libraries or anything, either.  If I needed additional libs, they must already have been installed on this system.

[Lofn]

I understand why the sprawl and farmland was added, Ampersand, my question was more to do with the fact that each one comes up as an individual site that can be entered from the world map - it makes things feel extremely cluttered.
