DF General Discussion / Installing Dwarf Fortress on Fedora
« on: May 24, 2019, 03:10:32 pm »
This isn't a request for help, but a description of my process in case it helps other people.

The wiki is a good resource, but incomplete. I had to remove df_linux/libstdc++.so.6 and install ncurses-compat-libs before it would work. (Links: this explains the inscrutable error message, and this explains how to parallel-install the older version of ncurses.)

(I've only tested this for CLI mode; more will probably be necessary for GUI mode.)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / New obsidian generator design
« on: October 31, 2018, 09:53:01 am »
I think I have come up with a simple and compact obsidian generator design (7x1x2). At the minimum, it requires the following:

Code: (z+1) [Select]
▼÷÷.÷÷▼
Code: (z+0) [Select]
≈█████≈

One liquid is water and one is magma.

This can be tiled indefinitely. Power is transmitted between adjacent pumps, and liquids flow between adjacent intake channels.

You can operate the pumps with dwarves, or you can set up power. If you use power, it might be possible to make a power-switcher to give each pump a single tick of power. Perhaps a repeater with multiple pressure plates, each connected to a gear assembly? (The wiki says that gear assemblies respond to triggers immediately, so that should work.) This would decrease the power requirements, but at the expense of a repeater.

(Edit: Wait, no, they transmit power. And if you leave rows without pumps to break the power transmission, then you might get a tile of magma that kills your obsidian retrievers. Maybe have doors between pump sections?)

The activation is simple. The pumps on both sides activate at the same time, pumping water and magma into the same position. If the pumps are accidentally left on, there is no harm so long as they are deactivated before you start mining the obsidian. This design has no risk of flooding so long as the ends of the outtake channel are "capped" with a door. To mine the obsidian, simply unlock the door and designate the column of obsidian for mining.

(I can't tell if this is an improvement over the standard "pump water over magma" obsidian generator.)

I'm setting up a community fortress. It will be built on a mountain surrounded by goblins and zombies. The goal is to become militarily powerful and succeed against our enemies. With the new c-screen mechanics, this should be more interesting.

Self-Imposed Restrictions: no turtling. I'm considering eliminating bridges and traps, but I don't know if I want to go that far.

Life Advice / Offline searchable linked web of pages
« on: September 30, 2018, 05:55:05 pm »
I'm trying to find or build an application that can do the following:

  • Display HTML pages stored on my computer
  • Open links from one page to another

If HTML is infeasible, then something that does the above with plaintext would be almost as good.

(I am essentially trying to build my own offline wiki. It's for a competition that allows use of my computer but not the internet.)

Masterwork DF / A force of evil indeed

Kudpa: A force of evil has arisen in the world. Closemirror is in the Steppes of Throwing. Seek this place if you hunt Bitafe Loverplait the plump helmet man.

Just thought it was funny that in unmodded DF, the image of plump helmet men as evil has still spread (perhaps by dimensional leakage?).

DF General Discussion / Funny Devlogs
« on: September 01, 2017, 01:22:06 pm »
8/31/17: "For instance, if a baby is the lone survivor of a failed raid, they will unerringly crawl back to your fortress all on their own. At least they are no longer active combatants." In other words, removed baby soldiers. I'm sure many players will be forever cursing you for making impossible our dreams of baby hordes bearing down on goblin fortresses.

Find a funny devlog? Add it here!

I am starting this thread on May 10, 2017. The plot of Unsong begins on May 10th, 2017. This is not a coincidence, because nothing is ever a coincidence.

General Discussion / SCP - Secure. Contain. Protect.
« on: November 29, 2016, 03:25:36 pm »
This is a thread about SCP, a community effort by a bunch of internet losers to make a bunch of scary and weird "logs" about completely fake things. The topics of these "logs" are entirely imaginary, and memes aren't even a weapon, a virus, or a compulsion! A meme is when I say 'Knock, knock' and you say 'Who's there?' I hate the very word -

Excuse me. Yes. This is definitely a very boring thing, you shouldn't even look into it, what are you doing? Don't go there!

General Discussion / How long have you been here?
« on: October 15, 2016, 09:21:40 pm »
Just doing a poll on the average B12-age of the people here.

This is a thread about gender and sexuality. This has often been a delicate issue in these forums, but I think that we can make it work.

Quotes
From Outside This Forum
Quote from: Lee Luxion
When I get negative responses or people telling me that my gender is invalid or wrong, it's frustrating and it's hurtful, but really it's making me sad that people still aren't willing to take a step back. It's not doing anyone harm. So I don't understand why they would be so opposed to it.

Quote from: skullvomit, tumblr.com, 2014
I have to choose between what makes me feel whole and what is safe all the fucking time

Rules

The forum guidelines apply here, of course. I will list the guidelines that most apply:

  • Do not pick a fight or insult another poster.  Do not continue a fight if you feel you have been insulted.  Report it to the moderator.  If you instead respond in kind, you run the risk of being considered part of the problem. Point-by-point debates and calm disagreements are acceptable, but keep it civil. Absolutely no insults. That has been bad before.
  • Despite its prevalence on the internet, bigoted language is frowned upon here.  Do not go there. This means no using the word f*g, just so you know. Also, please don't come here if you think that "teh gays" or "teh feminists" are a bad influence on society, those discussions are never productive. If you are especially calm, you can try it, but don't blame me if it explodes in your face.
  • If you post links to illegal material (files that are being illegally distributed, ie unsanctioned commercial game/music torrents/downloads, etc.) or post illegal images (or images that would have been behind 18+ warnings, etc.), you will be banned.  Don't ask for links or otherwise ask to be directed to places where you can download/obtain things like that either, even if the situation is somewhat more lax in your locality. As always, no porn etc., or links to such.
  • Do not discuss sexually oriented material.  There are exceptions to this rule, such as passing discussions of sexual content in movies, books, computer games, etc. in topics not directed specifically at the sexual material in question, but no sexually themed topics are allowed.  Sharing erotic images and erotic roleplaying are not permitted.  If you want to turn each other on, there are plenty of outlets for that.  This is not one of them.  Please refrain from sharing your sex life. This will be a tricky rule, as we will be discussing sexuality. However, if we stay away from discussing fetishes and erotic stuff, we should be fine.

If Toady One deletes posts about a particular topic, drop it. He will ban you if you continue.

If I say to drop a particular conversation, please do so. Don't make me lock this thread. I can and will do so if the conversation starts getting flamey, bigoted, or erotic.

General Discussion / Philosophy and Ethics Thread: We're Ethical Now
« on: August 25, 2016, 09:05:19 am »
Philosophy thread? Philosophy thread.

RULES

Go by whatever system of morality you legitimately and sincerely hold. Also don't break any of the forum rules.

This is over. Thanks for helping me get rid of my irrational fear that the entire world is laughing at me/hates me. I'm not going to lock it, in case somebody wants to give more advice, but I will say this: a. I'm not particularly seeking any advice at the moment, although I wouldn't mind any, so don't feel like you have to give any, and b. The spoiler is just saying "I think Bay12 is awesome, I'm really bad at most social things, I'm trying to make sure the world isn't laughing at me, I'm really bad at being concise, and I should edit personal kinds of posts to make sure I'm not rambling about the wrong sort of things." Whatever you may find within the spoiler is unlikely to actually reflect my thoughts. It only reflects the tired writings of somebody who is very sleepy and doesn't quite know what the words he's saying actually mean when they are strung together. For posterity, it will remain, despite my embarrassment.

Original Post:

So basically: what is your opinion of me? (I'd give examples, but that might affect the answers, so I'll just say this: do you have a mostly positive or negative opinion of me? Are there any glaring traits that stick out, that you think of whenever you see me? How is the tone of my posts?)

There's a good reason for it, but stating it might wreck the !!SCIENCE!!, so I'll post it later.

Actually, I'll put it in this spoiler. Don't read it until you've responded, please. (Or if you don't intend to respond, I guess?)

Spoiler: Backstory time! (click to show/hide)

Thank you for doing this, it's really important to me.

Curses / Font? What?
« on: August 23, 2016, 06:16:17 pm »
So LCS used to be in normal ASCII. Life was good. And now it's this weird unreadable "font" thingie.

Why did this happen? Is there any way to change it back?

DF General Discussion / Dwarves are Vikings
« on: August 13, 2016, 11:05:23 pm »
I was listening to a Viking song in Old Norse. It sounded like one of Swerwer's works.

Also, Vikings are warlike.

...continue listing the similarities, Bay12!
