#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

Without you I couldnt do the graphics, (to not even mention ironhand, phoebus and vherid) and without the avid players/readers of this thread I would have found not nearly that many bugs and balancing issues.

Great to see that modding is advancing One week ago NO ONE had settings, now 2 mods do. And I guess that some others will follow eventually.

Thanks everyone

EDIT:
Thanks to deon's design I managed to add 4 graphic packs. Ascii, Ascii+ (by vherid, with a slightly different tileset and a different colorset), Phoebus and Ironhand. Mayday has not been updated for some time, I dont know if it is a good idea to add that as well.

What the *Magma* is this, your breaking the game... its supposed to have ridicules redundancy and impossible user interfaces, keeps the script kiddies out...

Anyhow, looks good.  What did you have to do to make the fixes, to my knowledge most of that stuff was in the source, not the raws?

IMPORTANT: Could anyone look at the graphics for the creature_ff.txt ? The file is named graphics_zoo.txt and the pics are in graphics/zoo. I cant get them to work. Thanks.

[Teh Zip File]

The ASCII is almost completely correct! Some of the above-ground shrubs seem to be just a square of one color, fish have different tiles than they should, and some of the stone types are a different color than vanilla's. (Not sure if that's intentional or not)

I can fix both types of ACSII and upload it later, if you want.

[Vherid]

So am I right to make the assumption that this is compatible with genesis?

[Meph]

@ teh zip file: Sure, that would be great I made the ascii and ironhand version by hand, comparing the tiles with the raw tile selector. Almost everything should be ok, but I know that some tiles are only close, still recognizeable though I hope.

@vherid: No, not in the slightest. It includes all genesis buildings and reactions, most creatures and some minor features though.

@nordak: Thanks Breaking DF is usually something good.

[Vherid]

Yeah I noticed, should be good enough then actually.

EDIT: Oh also before I keep forgetting, why are you using the old DFhack?

[Meph]

New dfhack = .dll Old dfhack = .exe   The settings program has a utility list, and it only accepts .exe. I heard that the new LNP uses the dlls in the same list, so I might have a look at that. Till then: Old dfhack.

[Putnam]

I was downloading the newest version of Genesis to make my fortbent genesis modmod and found, to my chagrin, that my antivirus completely blocked the download without my permission nor any way of whitelisting due to DFhack's EXEs version.

So I uninstalled it and went with alternatives.

[Vherid]

Barnowls?

Pretty sure that's everything back to their normal tile/color.

[CheatingChicken]

Could you make the removal of the plant_grasses a seperate option? I like to remove some of the different grasses for FPS reasons, but the way it currently is it removes moss completely and neither grass nor moss will ever regrow.

[Demiurge]

I'm really enjoying this mod but I think you may be simplifying the game a bit too much. Magmaproof anything? What happened to using the cards you were dealt?

[Kalithor123]

Can you add, to the launcher, a turn off option for the "Added zoom and pause on Death of Citizen" feature?

It's annoying during a massacre. 

[se5a]

am I supposed to be only getting a skull when butchering rabbits?

also what's the defence vs creepers?
I've found they will not attack if they can't path, but as soon as they can path they seem to be able to fly... then it's death to the entire fortress.
