#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.

How do I run it? When I dload it, it takes me to something that asks what I want to open with it, and it selects word-pad or notepad.

I'm having a problem with my save game. I saved earlier, logging out, and when I came back, the game ran for about 30 seconds and then crashed. This happened repeatedly, even when I took no action.

This happened before with a different save, where I could move and designate things, but as soon as I unpaused it crashed.

Any thoughts?

Gen a new world and see if that crashes. Saved game folders do occasionally become corrupted. I've had it happen a couple of times.

[DwarfOfTheLand]

I had a question, too. I need some help, I can't even /run/ the doggarn thing.

@DwarfOfTheLand: Its a .rar file, a simple compression system similar to winzip. Just download winrar (its free) or 7zip (also free) and unpack it. Thats it, it comes pre-installed. Just have a quick look at the manual once you unpacked it.

@Elienis: That is interesting. Try loading the save without DFhack. If it still crashes, please send me the save. To start without dfhack just rename the sdl.dll in the dwarf fortress folder to something else, and rename the sdlreal.dll to sdl.dll.

[DwarfOfTheLand]

You sir, or ma'am, are a god/ess. Thanks for the help, I haven't been able to use any of these mods but one, and it didn't need the winrar or 7zip.

[Meph]

Is my assumption correct that you wrote this: "S-So amazing. This is now the only mod I will use for the game. " before even playing the mod? Thats a bit... odd. Btw, it is Sir, for ma'am you have to go to Legends of Forlorn Realms.

[Elienis]

@Meph I started it without dfhack and it still crashed approximately 2 minutes after I loaded it. How do you want me to send you the save?

[DwarfOfTheLand]

Um, little problem. I wanted to play as a Kobold, and the sprites and everything stayed the same as a dwarf's.

Also, same problem with the Orc race.

[Meph]

@DwarfOfTheLand: Lets see if you did it correctly: You open the settings, click on the race you want to play, open dwarf fortress, gen a new world, embark.

If you have dwarven sprites you play dwarves. Its not kobolds/orcs with dwarven sprites, its actual dwarves. If you want to change your race, you need to generate a new world.

@elienis: You can upload the save folder at the dffd, or mediafire, or dropbox, or whatever you prefer, and send me the link. Or post the link here. Deon had a similar crash like this in genesis, and I wonder if the cause might be related. Thank you for the help.

I update my question because a new version of dfhack seems to came out ...

You can't build stone back to it's original state.  You can use DFHack to put aquifer whereever you want.

Ok, but excuse me for the ignorance (I don't know how modding works) but isn't all that is possible with dfhack possible in modding ?

For example, isn't the new "weather control structure" an extension of the "weather clean / weather rain" dfhack command ? (the same with quicksave called from the library)

So isn't actually possible to create a 1-tile building or structure with the graphics of a gem "the tears of armok" that calls "the hook of dfhack" to make THERE an aquifier / magma source ?

[Meph]

No new version of dfhack came out in the meantime. And it would be possible to do what you describe by writing a seperate script for it, but it would be quite devastating ingame. There would be no way to stop it.

[Nokao]

Thanks Meph

Yes it would be probably very risky, but it could be stoppable with water from above.
IMHO It would be a great thing for players to have a "legal" (no-cheat) way to create magma sources like that.

Anyway, your mod, your choice.

I was insisting on that only because I'm doing a mega-project that could use so much a magmasource instead of forcing me to embark on a volcano.

I made a forum account just to post this:
http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q716/Knightfall3/Bug_zps134f59c0.jpg

I spawned a Guardian of Armok near the site of where my golems massacred an orc siege, and for some reason instead of just spawning one, it reanimated all of the body parts and in total ended up making 45 guardians. I tested turrets too, and the same thing happened. Any body part that's too close ends up turning into a turret/Guardian, probably landmines and anything else you can spawn too, then those guardians turn any body parts near them into said object, cascading outwards creating an army of friendly megabeasts.

Hi,

I don't know much about modding, but I use linux, so I ported the main Parts of the Masterworks v.2h mod to linux. It all seems to work, but it crashes, when I use the Masterworks font, and with the standart font there is the problem of the missing text. Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or how it was done in the old linux versions of masterwork? I also gladly share my version, but I can not guarantee for anything. I did not really know what I was doing
