Finding a map seed #
« on: February 16, 2011, 01:22:04 pm »
Hey all,
I noticed that .31.19 came out today and wanted to start playing to see all the new updates.  Problem is I also wanted to keep a really epic map I had found in .31.18, and was wondering if there was a location to find the map seed so I could try playing on the same map region to get the best of the new version without losing the map.  I just need to know where I could find the map seed for an already generated world in the old version so I can input it to advanced parameters for .19.  Thanks

If you have a fort running already, start it up, hit esc, "Export Local Image", hit e to export. There will be a text file in your DF folder eith the title <something>-param-region... which has your full world gen settings, including seeds.

If you don't have a fort running, start the region in legends and export the info from there.
