How to start Adventure mode?
« on: July 09, 2011, 01:54:07 am »
Hi. Either I'm stupid or someone forgot to put the info for how to actually enable adventure mode or start it - in the "Adventure Mode Quickstart guide" on the wiki.

Mac OS X if that makes a difference.

While we're at it, is there a simple easy way to enable the graphics replacements for the ASCII that I see pictures of, or do I need to download a mod for that? And what's the deal with the 8923 movement keys??

Are you using 40d, or 2010? Arrow keys have always worked for movement for me, on 2010

The option to go into Adventure Mode is under "Start Playing", but only if you have a genned world that doesn't have an active fort on it.

Regarding graphics, I know there are packs with pre-installed graphics for windows, but I don't know about macs. The modding forum can probably help you. Also, you might want to check out the wiki's articles on tilesets and graphics sets.

I've checked out the graphics tileset page on the wiki, but the links lead to forum threads that seem designed for people who really know what they're doing and/or are running Windows. Neither of those apply to me, I just want to play the game with graphics, on a Mac, with not more than one guy to worry about. I'm beginning to think that the number of hoops to jump through to make that happen is simply not worth it with my limited understanding of computer stuff.
