Have there been any tile sets in the past 9 years that have been as good as DystopianRhetoric's from 2008 or so? I don't think I've been able to use one since. Her tileset was so clean and nice and only changed dwarves and a few of the monsters, not tried to replace everything.

For reference it was what I used in this fort around the dawn of the 3D forts: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-2352-guildwatches

Dwarf therapist is apparently dead, it hasn't been updated since before the previous release although it did still work. I very much doubt it working with the new version though.

Hopefully something will pop up to replace it.

# ? Nov 25, 2017 00:58

IAmTheRad: Dec 11, 2009; Goddammit this Cello is way out of tune!

The newest release has been out for like a day. It takes longer than one day to get the new memory addresses, and more than one day for tilesets to be upgraded for the newest releases.

For example, I am now waiting for Taffer to update his ASCII based tileset before I hop back into the game, even if I will need to make do without DFHack for autolabor or labour-manager. I will just assign all jobs to all dwarves.

Any'all take a crack at fixing Dwarf Therapist's code? Ideas on what's breaking? I see it's got x64 memory locations already packaged in the v43 LNP, so I'm going to take a look but if y'all have advice I'd appreciate it.

I haven't actually played Dwarf Fortress in over a year, but it is normal to have like 30 elf visitors hanging out at my wagon 5 minutes after I've started a new fort? I'm not anywhere near an elf retreat from what I can tell.

It wasn't normal before this release? I have this too; mine have various occupations like beast hunter, poet, peddler, etc. but they are all decked out in wooden armor and carrying weapons. I'm sure these are the "monster slayers" that were supposed to start showing up when taverns got included in the game, but I thought I read that they only ever appeared on Toady's machine.

I'm going to breach the cavern layer as soon as I can, hopefully they make a beeline for it and scatter. My dining room is pretty much wall-to-wall Hero Elves right now but luckily they don't seem to be drinking any of my precious beer

A nasty woman, I think you should try is, Jess.

So far my sieges are a sneaking necromancer (who ran away) that brought one zombie that killed 4 dwarfs as it was fully armored and I am rusty so the army wasn't fully equipped, and a goblin who also snuck around and ran away when spotted. Army is in full production mode for a world tour thanks to the 25 migrants who got just drafted.

So is there any way, like via advanced worldgen settings, to create cliffs next to bodies of water? I don't mean canyons with rivers, I'm talking like cliffs right along the sea or a lake. Normal worldgen always seems to have gentle shorelines and I want something dangerous as gently caress.

Turning off the "periodically erode extreme cliffs" option in worldgen can sometimes create some crazy poo poo. Using the elevation function in site selection lets you pick somewhere nice and hazardous.

Is this how you end up with area that go from elevation 0 to 50? I've always wanted to play one of those forts reminiscent of the 2D days.

There are settings for erosion that might do it.

Erosion Cycle Count - Higher numbers make the mountains less steep and river canyons deeper. Not sure if high or low numbers would be better for what you want.

Periodically erode sharp cliffs Turn it to off.

Then look for an area with a mountain next to a lake or major river.

I love turning that off, turning the rainfall up and coming across ten tile wide rivers that are twelve z-levels deep

Is it still possible to come across random lava pools or very shallow magma pockets? Is there a way to increase them, if so? One of my favorite forts back in the day had a pool of magma like 2 z levels down under a random section of plains

Edit: huge rivers sound nice. Might be fun to make a town entirely on a huge river. I really miss the old mountain river in 2d.

I've played around with it but didn't have much success. Might not have been doing it right though.
You'll also want to crank X and Y elevation variance to maximum. This controls how much elevation can vary between adjacent squares.

You can restrict libraries, taverns, and temples to residents-only in the location menu.

Thanks for this, I've also found that cranking up the elevation variance also encourages sharp changes in elevation a lot more, so I'm finding some nice potential sites. Can't wait to have the main entrance into my fort be a winding cliff-side path!

Yeah, but it seems like your only options are "no visitors" and "your fortress is swamped with visitors to the point that your FPS plunges".

In the Lazy Newb Pack there's an option to set a maximum number of visitors, so I presume there's an .ini setting somewhere that controls it.

Quoth d_init.txt:

code:

You can set the maximum number of visitors to your fort here.  This does not include merchants, diplomats, animals or invaders, but 
only those either dropping by for a temporary visit to a tavern, library or temple, or those seeking permanent employment.  
Once you accept a petition from a visitor to stay at your fort, they no longer count against the cap, even if they never become a full citizen.
