Experimental memory layouts for 0.47.03:

• Linux 32 bits
• Linux 64 bits
• OSX 32 bits
• OSX 64 bits
• Windows 32 bits
• Windows 64 bits

Not sure if anyone's chimed in on this, but seems fine for Linux 64 bit.

Can dig out my 32 bit hackbook to check linux 32 bit if you like

no worries, just was checking since I haven't manually copied in the memory layouts before. I'll wait a bit longer

Cheers for the answers.

Log information is appended to the end of stderr.log. That's status information that DFHack logs on startup.

Anyway, adaptation is a Ruby script, so it's probably https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/1023, which we already know about. I don't think anyone's mentioned that script, though, so I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

cool, no problem! and thanks for the info. I'll just fix cave adaptation in soldiers the old-school way, by stationing them outside until they stop puking. Ahhh, Dwarf Fortess.

Wooden training axes no longer chop wood - something that was fixed in one of the 43.XX releases. Could be something to do with that?

I know I spend about half an hour trying to work out why no wood was getting chopped recently for exactly that reason.

There's a couple of questions here, and I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.

I'm just gonna use a diagram, and try and answer what I think you want to know lol.

z 0  ________
z-1          \MMMMMM

So, here's a pool of magma (M). The slope (\) appears red because it is partly on the same level as the rest of the magma, and so there actually is magma on that tile, rather than it just being hotter.

In other words, it is very dangerous (and in reality, pretty much impossible) for Urist to walk on that slope without becoming !!Urist!!.

When a dwarf is on a slope, he is considered to be on the lower bit of the slope, and so in the above example, he'd be actually immersed in the pool of magma. Theoretically the slope is an easy transition point between the two z-levels, but this is only really helpful if its a pool of water rather than red stuff.

As for dodging, dwarves always used to dodge onto a random adjacent tile, regardless of what was  underneath them. If there was a slope, or a steep drop, they would then fall down a z-level or two, hence why dodging near magma pools could be counterproductive. I'm not sure if dodging has been changed to prefer dodging to safe locations though, I might have read that a change like that had been made but I'm not sure.

TL;DR
Yes there is magma on the red slopes adjacent to magma, so plan accordingly.

Has anyone else had problems with animals bought along on embark not breeding?

I brought along a pair of dogs on embark, mostly out of habit but also because wardogs are quite handy. Bought some pigs with the first caravan, and after a couple of years realised that no puppies had appeared, although there were piglets. After ordering and buying dogs, breeding occurred.

Has anyone noticed similar behaviour? I did check that I hadn't accidentally got 2 of the same gender, can upload saves if required. Mostly just confused as I haven't seen it mentioned, and it seems a fairly big problem, so I feel like I'm missing something obvious...

Hi, just to say thanks for updating this package, very handy for easily changing the pop cap among other things.

Think that there is a problem with the tilesets though. I tried to configure it to use the 12x8 ascii default, and I get an error telling me that it can't find the files. Same problem for the 16x16 ascii default.

Had a little poke around in the lnp.yaml file. In the current one, the name and directory for the 12x8 ascii default are different, the directory is listed as '[16x16] ASCII Square 0.34.11'. I changed the directory to '[12x8] ASCII Default 0.34.11', and that now works, but can't get the 16x16 version working. I get the same error, although the name and directory in lnp.yaml are identical, '[16x16] ASCII Square 0.34.11'.

All the other graphics options seem to work fine, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the r43 update you put out, given that it seems to tinker with these tilesets? I only started using this in the past couple of days though, so can't tell you if it worked for me before that. 

Also, minor quibble, but the readme in the graphics folder still tells you to look for the lnp.properties file. Should be lnp.yaml. Was quite confusing till I worked it out!

Again, thanks for updating this utility, would have made my first few fortresses a hell of a lot simpler if I'd known about it!
