Dwarf Fortress

[Untelligent]

We should do a succession game, like the Boatmurdered thing.

[Commisar Gaunt]

I'd be willing to do it! We should have it organized by next weekend. I gots finals this week >_>

I have a first year colony that just hit spring.....

I dont know how to quit without saving =[ so i'm not going to play that one til you guys tell me how to send it to you soz you can succession it.

edit: NVM i figured out how lmk if you guys want it

[Untelligent]

I figured out how to transfer save files, if anyone still wants to do the succesion game thing:


1. If you're still playing DF, save and quit.

2. Go to this folder. If you changed the name or have a different version, the first part should be whatever you changed it to or downloaded.

df_27_169_33f\data\save\

3. Find the appropriate region folder. If, when selecting a world to load, it says "region7" in the info area for that save, the region folder you need is region7.

4. Upload that region folder to your favorite file-hosting site.

5. Give the next player the link to the file.

6. The new owner of the save file then downloads it to df_27_169_33f\data\save\ (or whatever), and continues the game.


I tested these steps (except for the last three) between two different versions, the newer version having no save files whatsoever, and it worked. I assume that the last three steps will work without testing.

According to the download page, any game from sub-version A to sub-version F (the current one, released yesterday;) is compatible with any other version within that range; however, I suggest that if we decide to use the same version, F would be a good choice; according to the Changelog, Toady finally fixed the damn "hey, let's channel out each other's floor" bug.

yeah i just lost 4 dwarves in the beginning to the channel thing... they dug eachother into the water table

[Commisar Gaunt]

Yeah, I want to do this

[Fake from State Jarm]

i just started another one... there's lava and trees and access to stone and a river. i'll try and take some screenshots so you know what's going on from the start.

there is also a giant eagle. -.- i better start up on those crossbows.

[Untelligent]

 

Zombies ate my post.

[Commisar Gaunt]

A giant eagle O_o

[Fake from State Jarm]

the eagle went away.

so untelligent does that mean you are going to start the fort out?

in that case i've been documenting mine for nothing. actually i think i'll keep taking pictures and we can use it on the next succession game, so the work isn't for nothing.

[Untelligent]

You already started?

Oh.

Nvm.

*conveniently hides last post and lets Lllama-dude continue*

[Fake from State Jarm]

ok, anyone have a good file-hosting site?

[Grand Poobah Marx]

Wow.  I totally did not find those in 5 s of searching..

Giltbeards ftd/l   comes with some screenshots and information about starting dwarves.

those next in line may want to look it over.

I wrote in a lot of the story with the 'point of interests' on the left.

Urge to kill rising.


84 Megabytes? Are you fucking kidding me? I looked at my own region folder and it's only six or seven. I apologize for being rude, but how much extra crap did you put in there that you could easily have posted in this topic? That'll take like a week to download on my 17th-century internet. If it's not too much trouble, could you make another file with VITAL CRAP ONLY?

Also, I suggest to prevent further zombie attacks, we should start signing up in an organized manner. Add yourselves to the following list as needed. If nobody else signs up by the time Llama hosts a file with VITAL CRAP ONLY, I'll take #2. We'll start "looping" the list when we get to the end.

1. llamavore
2. Untelligent()
3. PROFIT. Or whatever.
4. etc.
5. etc.
6. etc.
7. ETC DAMMIT
8. 9. 10. 11. Fucking 300 maybe. I dunno.


Urge to kill falling... Falling... Falling... RISING... Falling... Gone.

Sorry about that, unnecessarily large files tend to piss me off occaisionally.

[Fake from State Jarm]

Oh, oh, me 3!  

I just lost my 12 year master colony when an enraged peasant broke the lava floodgate.  Bastard deserved to fry, but now I am cut off from all the surface, all my picks are underground with an aquifer between them and the surface.  Has anybody got thru a 2-level aquifer from the bottom?  There was a small solid area between the magma seam and the aquifer and now its destroyed.  Only one dwarf topside and he's got no tools, zombie hippos all around, and nothing to trade for a pick.
