Author Topic: New Dwarf Fortress topic  (Read 13100 times)

I'm looking for a long-lost tileset, one of this guy's older versions to be precise. I accidentally deleted my DF folder in a crazed (drunken) purge of games and DF was a casualty.

The problem is this guy's new Character set (that is, the set that gives you the icons for chests, walls, etc.) outright sucks and I don't like it at all. I want the old version but it's been wiped from every source I know, which is odd to say the least.

Might any of you guys have it?


I managed to piece the old version back together off of a bunch of derived tilesets.

Anyone still into DF or thinking of playing again? No new patch but still fun.

IF YOU ARE A NEW DWARF, read this amazing tale of bloodthirsty elephants and medieval dwarven WMDs, then you'll know whether this is the game for you: http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Boatmurdered/intro.html

Nah, that's the version I have :(

Thanks anyways though

Yes, I've been playing far too much recently. Since my additions of flying giant rats, wheeled giant moles and fire-breathing carp, everything seems to have gone downhill.

Carp were already able to kill demons so I think that might have been a bad idea

Also got this kick-ass world gen thing that creates a world full of insanity and craziness, easier to find good sites anyways

Just copy-paste this into DwarfFortress/Data/Init/world_gen.txt at the end of the other stuff. It takes a good while to generate though (around 30 minutes for me) and if it seems like it jammed on running waters, don't worry it's still working furiously, just let it keep going. The result is an jagged crazy place and it's easy to make more then on Perfect Location fortress.

Here's what I used, just download Mayday's junk: http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/~mayday/upload/DFG17.zip

You can keep it as it is if you want, or you can change the character set you'd like to use (those are the basic tiles for the game, not monsters and dwarves and stuff). In that case I have it right here



Just save a copy and put it in your DF/Data/Art/ folder (might be asked to replace a file, that's ok, do it), then go in the init.txt file in DF/init/ and change a few things around with the resolution and which character set you're using. This character set is called maydayMAX, the guy was using maydayMIX beforehand.

Another thing, turn these guys on otherwise you'll get tile stretching
[BLACK_SPACE:YES]
...
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]

That's all, happy dorfing

I want to play this game but something keeps pushing me away from it.

Is it the puppy cooking or tales of murderous elephants?

Perhaps he's like me and does not have the patience to figure out how to play it D:

I used to play a lot and usually play on vacation( has on my laptop)
