I'm guessing he canceled playing DF temporarily due to being interrupted by rhesus macaques. (Man I hate those monkeys.)

[Rex_Nex]

More true then you might think, though I would love some monkeys to eat all the damn bugs in .18.

Either way, Paperscale has not been abandoned. I just am a bit busy at the moment. I don't want to give a promise on a date I will do an update, but it shouldn't be more then a week, and even that is a stretch.

[Derp Sandvich]

As long as it's not abandoned I'm fine with that, and busy with other things myself while I wait for an update.

[Rex_Nex]

Heh. Well, I was doing some playing around with the file today, and came to the conclusion that I have, unfortunately, stumbled across a fortress-breaking bug. No joke. I cant place anything. Its not my game, since I can load a different world and play just fine, but it seems like Paperscale II might need a re-embark. Same biome and everything, but I cant have the same embark area. Might need to even regen a new world. The fortress isn't very far, so it would only take an hour or two, but that does mean new dwarf profiles for everyone.

What a bummer. Seems like all my Paperscale projects flop just as they get good. I'll be looking for a workaround for the bug, but I cant promise anything. If I cant get anything done about it, I'm going to re-do the embark profiles. Everything else can stay, I so no reason for the story to change if the setting is the same.

Anyways, godspeed.

It will soon be a month without a post, and while I do understand it is holiday season and all, is there and chance that there will be an update in the near future?

[Rex_Nex]

Yes. If DF begins cooperating. I'd love to continue doing this, but the fact I have to start over kind of bothers me. I have lots of time now, so I can see an update within a week, sir

[Rex_Nex]

Alright. I'm starting over. I have nothing to do on the net then browse useless random topics on these forums, so I minds as well give you guys something interesting to look at while you do the same.

I need suggestions for:

New Thread? (Paperscale II: Dawn of a Fortress would be my preferred name, but Paperscale already has a lot of threads. We could always use this one.)

Embark Area?
Tileset?
Focus on literature or gameplay?
Writing style? Journal (Paperscale 1) or third-person (Paperscale 2)?

Heres hoping for a good start.

[MrNuke]

Rename this thread.
My Idea
Embark Area: Glacier
Tileset: Phoebus or square ASCII
Focus on literature or gameplay: LOLwut?
Writing style: Journal of youself, including conversations of yourself with other dorfs.

Got it.
One for Glacier.
Phoebus it is.
Focusing on gameplay would be me telling you what I did in game, as a player, while literature would be more like a story.
Ok.

[MegaMartikus]

hers one:
Embark: Desert or beach/coastline
tileset: Phoebus
i say we go boatmurdered style and go with a gameplay narration.

[Urist McOverlord]

Requesting dwarf? If I may.

Location: mountain (evil or savage)
Tileset: whatever
I've always preferred the literature style, personally

[Dariush]

Embark: volcano AND major river (will probably require a regen with an awfully high amount of volcanoes) or at least major river.
Tileset: ASCII.
Focus on gameplay.
Journal.

[Rex_Nex]

There will be a complete regen. My game just crashed upon placing a depot in a completely seperate world and fortress though, so Im getting the feeling it may actually be some corrupted DF files. If thats the case, I may be able to simply throw the paperscale save into a new download of Dorf Fortress and get the game up again. Ill update this post in a few minutes if this works. More then likely, Ill need a new regen on a new copy, though.
Tileset will be Phoebus, but I will be taking some secondary screenshots in ASCII.
Not too sure about the embark area though. Im seeing some pretty varied suggestions.
Also, 3d Fortress Overseer screenshots are coming up. I had no idea the project already had textures until now, so prepare for some nice screenshots

Disregard. My files were corrupt, Paperscale 2 is back up with the same fortress!

Yes Urist, you may request , do you just want a random migrant, or do you want to put down what skills he uses?
