#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.

Ok so I destroyed the temple and rebuilt it. The guy who built it is trapped inside and cant access the iridum. No one else can get in for some reason.

[celem]

If you are not using the very newest version then yes, the old temple to armok could trap the builder.

Im guessing you built it so that it its right up against a wall.

Code: [Select]

xAAAA
xAAAA
xAAAA
xxxxxx

Thats a rough approximation of how I built my first with A being the temple and X being walls.  The builder got trapped.  Mining out the walls around the temple free'd the builder.  Its an issue with how the impassible tiles were laid out in that version of the temple.  I imagine the new 1.9.5 version fixes this.

So if the builder cant get out, no-one else can get in, since he stands on the work-tile to build it and that tile is clearly not accessible from your fort if he cant escape

Um with some the the layer stones look like the old ASCII Tile set and not like Phosbus and I am using the simple stones off and harder mining on if it matters. Is there any way to get them to look the the Phosbus rocks?

[celem]

Ok, I can probably help with this one.

Firstly backup your current copy of inorganic_stone_layer.txt which you can find in the raw/objects folder of your masterwork install.  This step is incase my fix doesnt work, or makes things even worse somehow.  Stick the original somewhere safe.

Secondly grab http://www.mediafire.com/view/?awzpr6laznl78y1

Thirdly paste that file into raw/objects.  If you just backed up the original and didnt actually remove it then it will ask to overwrite, let it.

Basically I changed the tiles for a bunch of the layer stones from their ascii back to graphical tiles.  The tile numbers themselves seem different for masterwork than for my LazyNewbPack vanillaDF with Phoebus installed, not sure exactly what changed, Meph changed a heck of a lot.  So rather than copy across the old values I matched up the stone types that were missing a tile with other stonetiles from my masterwork install.

End result should be that while the rocks may not look exactly as you remember them from vanilla+Phoebus, particularly colors, they should at least be using Phoebus tiles rather than ASCII.

Hope this helps

EDIT: occurs to me that this needs a new world to take effect.  To fix your current save then go through the data folder, find the region you are playing in and put the file into those raws rather than the main game ones

Just doing a little bit of research and hanging out with a fraternity on the MIT. Fun guys

Chemist:
blackpowder => brimstone, saltpeter, charcoal.

Dynamite => nitroglycerin, sawdust/similar stuff, wrapped in paper.

Nitroglycerin =>  is a heavy, colorless, oily, explosive liquid produced by nitrating glycerol.

All this leads to this conclusion: Blackpowder is easy, dwarven tech, and will be used for guns and turrets. TNT is too f*cking complicated to simulate. Dynamite is a go. Needs nitroglycerin, and this needs glycerol. Glycerol => Bi-product of soapmaking (Fight Club ftw) or farming oil bearing plants. To make it clear: Make soap/farm plants => glycerol => +flux => nitroglycerin => +wood&coal => Dynamite => +bolt => Fun explosive ammo

There's also gun cotton.  It's made from adding nitric and sulfuric acid to cotton.   Nitric acid can be made by heating saltpeter with sulfuric acid, which can be made by burning sulfur and saltpeter with steam.  It's both stronger and less stable than nitroglycerine, but eventually nitrocellulose became the basis for smokeless gunpowder.

And please make it so that dwarves can throw exploding sticks of dynamite too.

And back to the routine of me adding one mistake into every release. Catch them all. 

Bone_Block entry in inorganic_zmasterwork.txt is double, leading to duplicate raws, leading to fancy inorganic entries. Fix for inorganic_masterwork

I also updated the main download with a fixed version. Edit: Also fixed some missing tools for the library system. I shouldnt do this stuff while deadly tired. ^^

[PenguinEmperor]

That could explain why I had picks, an axe, and an anvil made out of fireball available at embark. Actually embarking had predictable results.

[Meph]

Iam too goddamn distracted to code. Boston is awesome, I am staying at the Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity of the MIT, and there is too much crazyness going on for me to do DF. Maybe I find more time in NY

[Rumrusher]

Shame about the illithids those where one of my favorite classes to play based on shear power alone. though I wonder what lead to the removal of them completely than just leaving in a pre-34 version of them in?

[zenerbufen]

Couldn't get them to stop crashing people games, and meph couldn't reproduce the crash on his machine to find a fix. Everytime he thought he fixed it, they would still cause crashes.

[Panopticon]

I could usually get em to work, kinda hope they return one day.

[Wrex]

I could usually get em to work, kinda hope they return one day.

It depends. On some settings. they crash the game on year one. On other settings, they do nothing.

[Goodwin]

What labor do dwarves need to transform into golems at golem forges?

[zenerbufen]

I want to say.. strand_extract, but I could be completely wrong...

Anyways I came here to drop this for anyone who is interested, a preview of the next mac release. (1.9.5) It currently RUNS! and I haven't experienced any crashes.. If you have a mac PLEASE TEST.


https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75632380/Masterwork%20for%20Mac%20test.zip  <-- alpha release of 1.9.5-mac


notes: NEW GUI (not finished) included, for anyone who wants to help (code/test) it requires Python 3.2, and PyQtX installed (finished version won't ) it doesn't actually change the settings yet (back end isn't finished) but I would like to see if it at least runs on everyone's different machines, and displays properly and get feedback from you on it.

http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.3/  <-- python 3.2 Mac/Windows/Linux
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqtx/files/Complete/   <-- PyQtX MAC(download COMPLETE py323 version NOT py273)

If you are on windows/linux and want to help with the NEW GUI:
PyQt-Py3.2-x86-gpl-4.9.4-1.exe    Windows 32 bit installer
PyQt-Py3.2-x64-gpl-4.9.4-1.exe    Windows 64 bit installer
and linux source is available here:
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download
You don't need SIP unless you are building from source (linux)

Also, I currently don't have access to windows or linux, and the gui is still based on masterwork 1.9.3, so if anyone could let me know if meph added/removed/changed any buttons please let me know.

P.S. Meph you should take a look at how I organized things in this release.. your releases to be a bit blunt are..  disastrous messes of disorganization.

A problem I encountered in the 1.9.4 (downloading 1.9.5): for some reason my crossbow dwarves pick a crossbow/javelin thrower, a quiver, and a backpack with some food, but don't take ammo with them.
Correction: one of the javelin throwers put some knives in the quiver. They do not, however, pick their ammo (got enough in the fortress. When hunting they do not seem to have a problem).
Should I build a barracks? Will it help?

Edit: ok, using 1.9.5. The dwarves  are using an assortment of ammo for their weaponry: crossbow with javelins or axe heads, javelins with knife blades, and (!) javelins.
Can they actually use the ammo they got in their quivers?
Also, in my saved game it seem to keep requiring bronze instead of copper to make metallurgist...
