.15 added some changes to the raws that you can see in file_changes.txt.  If you don't care about any of those, you don't need to regenerate and can use your old saves to get all of the other benefits.  You can apply some of the changes directly to the raws of your old saves if you want, but some of those, like changing body parts, can be iffy.

Awsome Cheers Bud

Could it have something to do with the good and evil counts? For whatever reason, NO civilzations are being placed, even though there are non-savage good aligned areas everywhere.

As I recall, you need non-good and non-evil (and possibly non-savage) areas for civs to be placed.

[nuker w]

Bone refuse pile? Oh hell yea. Thats awesome.

[darkflagrance]

New init options:

[WALKING_SPREADS_SPATTER_DWF:NO]
[WALKING_SPREADS_SPATTER_ADV:NO]

I'm setting these to no ASAP.

------------------------------------------------------------------

[WOUND_COLOR_NONE:7:0:1]  No recorded active wounds on the part.  Default = white
[WOUND_COLOR_MINOR:6:0:0]  Any damage that doesn't have functional/structural consequences (might be heavy bleeding though).  Default = brown
[WOUND_COLOR_INHIBITED:6:0:1]  Any muscular, structural or functional damage without total loss.  Default = yellow
[WOUND_COLOR_FUNCTION_LOSS:3:0:1]  An important function of the part is completely lost, but the part is structurally sound (or at least partially intact).  Default = bright cyan
[WOUND_COLOR_BROKEN:4:0:1]  The part has lost all structural integrity or muscular ability.  Default = bright red
[WOUND_COLOR_MISSING:0:0:1]  The part is completely gone.  Default = dark gray

Hey, was this in 31.14?

[smjjames]

The wound color stuff is one of the new things that was introduced with the release of .31.

Ooooo, Bone Piles! Capital, Toady, Capital!

Medicaid worked perfectly. Woodcutter got mangled by a harpy and he was up and about in under a minute. Never had it go so smoothly. Mega thumbs up!

Military dwarves holding multiple weapons in the same hand appears to be easy to reproduce.  If you give them a metal uniform and wait for them to pick up a weapon, then go in and change the weapon they are using manually, they will end up with 2+ items in their right hand.  Oddly enough they don't seem to use any of them and my fort consist primarily of wrestlers :/  Archers also seem really bugged.  I see a few broken arrows near my archery targets - and they all have crossbows, quivers and bolts, but only rarely do they ever fire.  5 years and my marksdwarves are still only aequate.

Hope that helps narrow down some of what is going on.

I'm wondering. If you have a vanilla .14 save and want to bring it over to .16, would it be possible to simply replace the save's raws with the new version in the .16 game folder?

[bcd1024]

   (*)added spatter init options (dwarf mode defaults to no walking spread of spatter)
   (*)allowed skull/bone/shell/tooth/horn settings from refuse pile

My hero!

Good doctoring was .31.12 (or earlier) already, in my experience. Lovely suturing. Hope to see Crutch-walking happening in .31.20... Steel boots and leggings are high priority armor, as cut leg nerves = fate worse than death, begging for people to bring water. Arm gone, no problem, carry on partying! (Of course one can cheat and make nerve tissues heal slowly.)

Toady, any chance of a broken wrist not preventing "walk to the drinks barrels"?

Try sending the shooter squad chasing wildlife. Higher bow skill also gives longer range!

There doesn't seem to be an update_savegame.bat in 14-16. Are they unnecessary? Could we get some info on savegame compatibilty from previous versions?

I think I've seen that update savegame in the 'lazy newb pack' or something, you may get it from there

[FleshForge]

I'm pretty sure the savegame updater is version-specific - I don't think Toady answered this, would like to hear whether this is still required or if older saves are auto converted or what.
