Uh, I am using Windows but I can't seem to be able to run it...
As I can't see a program to do that.

There is no separate program. If you install it properly, it runs as part of DF.

Last time I used this it was WAY different...
Well thanks anyways........


Damn weird....

Ok, new release, again!

Among the cool new things is the minecraft world converter. It's a bit rough around the edges, sometimes crashes and takes forever to finish. But it's there Make sure you backup your fort before you run it.

Other than that, there's a bunch of various improvements (see first post).

Damn weird....

It's just better this way. No problems with manipulating DF through a middle-man. Windows is a decent middle-man, don't get me wrong, but direct memory access is just better.

hmm so r8 for those who paid for Minecraft right?

[janglur]

Hmm, seems the site's down.  Getting this error:

Error 202 (net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID): Unknown error.

pretty much.

free minecraft doesn't let you load and save levels.

Ok, new release, again!

Good news: DFHack now detects my Linux DF, so the MD5 problem seems to be fixed.
Bad news: Half of the plugins crashes the game instantly. Tried with multiple old saves and also with a new world. Stderr.log shows nothing special.

Broken: vdig, vdigx, expdig, digcircle, probe, prospect, grow, immolate, extirpate, stonesense, tiletypes, revflood, df2minecraft, filltraffic, tiletraffic, liquids

Working: deramp, tubefill, fastdwarf, cprobe, clean, spotclean, cleanowned, flows, seedwatch, getplants, reveal, unreveal, revtoggle, nopause, weather, mode, drybuckets, colonies

Liquids and tiletypes plugins do work until I actually try to place a tile. Stonesense crashes with "Illegal instruction" error.

When seedwatch is turned on, keyboard repeat rate turns totally off, which is really annoying.

Haven't actually tried all of the plugins with earlier versions, but I know that at least vdig, vdigx, expdig, digcircle, probe, prospect and liquids have worked before.

What kind of CPU do you have?

[uggi]

What kind of CPU do you have?

AMD Athlon XP 3000+. Yes, it's old.

I guess we finally tracked down the problem. I checked what flags does my build system pass to gcc, and among them are these:

Code: [Select]

'-m32 -march=x86_64'This is a problem, because it enables the use of various instructions you CPU doesn't have... and it crashes horribly when it runs into them.

So. I'll track down where this comes from and make a new linux build for older CPUs.

It ran fine and made a world but it hilariously killed most of the grass (in chunks) as it did so.

I will try and test if the generated world works in the next few days when I have access to a paid version of minecraft.

Posting to confirm that DF2MC seems to work fine on the MC end.  Just takes a little bit to do it's converting when first loaded.

Spoiler: Sadly I don't have anything fancy to show off, so here's the front of my depressingly square shaped fortress. (click to show/hide)

I didn't get the grass dying issue reported though.  Maybe something is off with only certain versions?

That's ... weird. Really weird.

AMD Athlon XP 3000+. Yes, it's old.

I updated the Linux build (revision 8a now). It's now built for i686 CPUs and should work fine.

Nice! Tested all the plugins, only a few problems left. Digcircle and stonesense crashes with illegal instruction. Df2minecraft says "Loading Minecraft Materials..." and then crashes.
