Basically what the title says, I'm trying to find one that works with twitchtv streams to use while watching the streams.

I've tried looking around google, but can't seem to find what I want.

For some strange reason, mine is crashing on the Eisenhower and the Dwight. D. Eisenhower pages...... anybody else getting this as well?

An important part of tracking is recognizing how old the track is, from fresh to old tracks. After all, if you were tracking your dinner, would you follow a week old track or a fresh one?

Hunting aside, knowing how old a track is would still be useful when trailing someone or knowing if the tracks are hours old or days or even weeks old.

You could use the same symbols for wear to show how old it is at a glance.

How well does this mod work with Mayday graphics and how do I install the graphics into the mod?

Is it possible to use a lever in a way that makes a track stop say go/no-go to keep dwarves from pushing/guiding/riding the minecart even though the orders would say otherwise? I'm making a bit of a testing facility and I don't want to have to monitor it and make changes on the fly so that I can start and stop a test when I want to. I'm testing out a minecart railgun and I don't want to accidentially shrapnel my dwarves between setting up for another run and have them push the minecart when it's not ready.

Any good threads or tutorials on working with minecarts, rollers, etc? I know this thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=129453.0 is a good one, but are there others?

Also, any good tutorials on making minecart railguns? Preferrably ones that I can trigger with the lever rather than mess with the orders.

Edit: How do I make a minecart throw it's contents through a fortification? My carpenter was lucky that the contents didn't fly out when I had apparently set the rollers the wrong way.

While doing exploration with a stray animal, I noticed that there was this wierd bit of map in the corner that wouldn't be revealed, and there is a stray monitor lizard a z level below the cursor. There were also a bunch of crundles that mysteriously died, DFhacks deathcause just says crundle has died. No cause, nothing. Also, the montor lizard can go into the unexplored area and has killed a few crundles in the area.

Also, the zombies that I had seen earlier near the demon fort (including at least two mothmen/women) have mysteriously vanished, or maybe they retreated inside, don't know. A quick check with reveal hell shows zombies still inside the demon fort though, so it's not too bad.

This is the first time I'm doing a magma piston and while I understand the concept, I'm still trying to figure some aspects out.

1. How do I make a magma piston send magma from a larger reservoir into a smaller catchment basin and into a series of channels? I have an idea of how i might do it since I want to spread the magma out rather than having it in a large square catchment basin (though I can easily just channel out the edges of the basin to make channels, but still.....) although maybe instead of making the reservoir bigger horizontially, I can make it bigger vertically.

2. If I make bridges on top of the piston, will it still fall when I break the support or will the piston end up sticking to the bottom of the bridges? (then again, the magma might end up underneath the bridges, which isn't my intention)

3. If I were to make say, a 6x6 reservoir that is 1 level deep, fill that with 7/7 magma, would a catchment basin of the same size fill would the exact amount of magma? I'm just trying to get a sense of how the math and the magma distribution works out.
