This looks better. Shallow metals, flux, no aqufer, and access to goblins. There's no elves, which is  We might be a little short on water until we breach the cavern, but that can be dealt with.

We should probably decide on a tileset to use, for continuity of viewing. It's a bit jarring when it changes with each overseer. I'm game for any of the popular ones, Phoebus or Spacefox being my preference.

My competence drops severely with a tileset, since I can't tell what anything is by sight. That doesn't mean you're wrong. I'll look over the more recent threads to see what they used.

Think going from ASCII to a tileset is ok I get confused when two three tilesets start getting used with ASCII all being flipped and flopped about with each overseer

I have a question for those of you who use the advfort dfhack plugin. I'm playing Masterwork and found a bunch of large mithril armor in an orc fort. Can I use the smelter/forges at a dwarf fort to melt the armor and make gauntlets, chain leggings and a shield? Since those don't seem to be options for the stone forge chunk crafting. Alternatively, how would I go about adding those reactions to the stone forge?

Well when we brought this up a few months ago pretty much everybody said go with phoebus so thats what I set up the fortress package under. I'm an ASCII player normally but I got used to it after a few hours.

Sounds like Phoebus then? I'm fine with that. Are the two of you going to collaborate on a background and maybe the first two overseer turns?

I'm fine with whatever Gnoman wants to do. I had my ideas before they were put on the backburner pending bug fixes. Doesn't mean they were good ideas. Or that we needed a succession fortress with tower access and a world where I had made some tweaks and quick fortresses' prior to the succession fort (which is another thing I spent like 3 days doing) to establish some named characters that could show up.

The issue i've always had with volcano forts is how often I find that they're laggy, and you can't tap off of them without guaranteed killing a dwarf unlike the lava sea.

It is quite possible to tap a volcano without losing a dwarf. It isn't guranteed (due to dwarven stupidity), but it is doable.

It is getting late enough (and I am drinking enough) that I won't be able to start the fort until tomorrow. If you or Gargantua want to go ahead and make the tread, that is fine with me.

I can volunteer to make the OP and babysit the thread, but I don't want to steal the show from either of you with your plans for an initial fortress. I'm more than happy to be overseer #3 or later down the line.

All the more reason to use one then. Isn't the general consensus that DF community games are more fun when mistakes are made?

I have never manually tried to install TWBT or mess with it, and of course the readme doesn't tell me such simple and useful information as where to put the files. Someone wanna hold my hand?

Yeah they really need to add the install instructions to the readme, that was driving me bananas some time ago. It doesn't help that there's a couple tilesets included already but not properly sorted into files or mentioned in the readme, so basically there's a bunch of extra stuff in there to confuse things. Assuming DFHack is installed properly (just in case: should be just take contents of the archive and drop them into your Dwarf Fortress folder), and your versions are all correct: From the TWBT.zip, - Take the .dll files and paste them into hack\plugins (mousequery should already be in there, let it overwrite the old one) - Take the overrides.txt and paste into data\init - Take the .png files and paste into data\art (I know you need the shadows.png, not sure about the transparency or white ones though but better safe than sorry) Go to data\init and open the init.txt, change the PRINT_MODE to TWBT, so it will look like: [PRINT_MODE:TWBT] Note that most tilesets come with their own init.txt to facilitate easy drag and drop installs, so just be aware that the changes to print mode will be overwritten if you do that and you gotta go change it again or the plugin won't be activated.

Addamere posted:Thanks so much for this writeup! Sure - I made a small change regarding the .png files as I'm not actually sure if you just need the shadows.png still or if with the new updates you also need the white1px and transparent1px files. I doubt it but not sure and they're tiny so might as well throw them in there.

I needed to put at least the white1px file for it to run. Best to put all the PNGs in.

New version came out just in time, old fort was being annoying as there was very little animals and the goblins rarely came. I sent out some raids and one went wrong and a dwarf got captured. Sent multiple raids to save him but all the mission reports were blank. Hopefully that was just a bug that won't be repeated in the newest version!
