DF General Discussion / Re: Candy is Overrated

This makes me wonder, is armor modeled like a sandwich or like a burrito? In other words, consider a scenario where a dwarf in candy armor is lying on the ground and is crushed by a boulder from above. If the armor forms a cylindrical shell around the dwarf, then the impact force should pass through the armor to the ground, leaving the dwarf inside relatively undamaged; if it's like a series of flat layers, then the dwarf should be crushed underneath the armor.

The image says "iron plançon à picot"
Is that something you modded yourself? It looks like the ç and à characters are encoded in UTF-8, while DF uses an extended ASCII character set known as code page 437. So the ç for example is saved as the two-byte sequence C3 A7, which renders as ├º in DF.

If anything, Canada would be a more likely option due to proximity.

« on: February 10, 2018, 12:26:33 pm »Alright. Am I basically free to do anything ? I guess so. I'll try today.
EDIT : Loaded the save.
What the hell. This is flat dwarf fortress !! I have no idea what I can and can't do. Brings back memories.
Ohhw, the old UI was s***** !!
You can't resize the window.
'+' and '-' don't work in menus.
'u' shows you aaaaall the units (dead, dorfs, animals, ...)
I hope I won't screw up everything. But...
* puts on glasses *
THIS FORTRESS MUST NOT DIE
No, it's still 3d with z-levels. You can't resize the window on the fly, but you can change the window size in data/init/init.txt, or go fullscreen with F11.

If you are on Linux/Mac, you can use [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] and play over a SSH session.

DF General Discussion / Re: Installation
« on: March 31, 2017, 11:17:28 am »In Firefox, hit Ctrl+J, left-click "df_43_05_win.zip," F, left-click "df_43_05_win," WinZip, Unzip to..., "Error(2): The system cannot find the file specified. ..."
Sounds like a problem with WinZip. Does this happen with other .zip files?

« on: March 25, 2017, 10:10:22 am »I'm thinking of a game kind of like Munchkin where you build your fort from cards and funny and tragic events occur every turn.Betrayal at House on the Hill might be a good game to get inspiration from. Instead of exploring a haunted house, you'd be building a fort, and the "haunts" would be events like invasions, mega/forgotten beast attacks, candy, etc.

There is no installation. Just unzip the zip file into a folder and you're good to go.

IIRC, boats have to wait until he's implemented planes/alternate dimensions, for obvious* reasons.
*Specifically, proper boats would require a way to have sections of the map physically disconnected from the rest of the world (so they can move around), and alternate dimensions are a simple starting case for implementing that.

"Player-lord" being hyphenated, I think, implies a player who is also a lord (both parts being nouns, rather than one being a noun used as an adjective).
