Life Advice / computer performance
« on: May 02, 2010, 09:22:14 pm »
I recently had my old computer junked out for a new one under warranty, and I was assured that it was comparable to the one that was junked.  The only difference I can see is that it's under a different operating system (old one was windows vista, new one is windows 7) and yet when I installed DF2010, I couldn't get anything done, the fps was so low!  I tried lowering the G_FPS to a more reasonable number, but to no avail; it was the same speed.  I also tried installing and using Game Booster but it doesn't seem to help at all...

what can I do to increase my laptop performance?

have you found any?  I haven't found any myself, but I figure they're in there somewhere.  Share your secrets here! :)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarf Unemployment
« on: March 12, 2010, 06:39:58 pm »
Every time I exceed about 30-40 dorfs I end up with droves and droves of dwarves throwing parties and sitting around with their thumb up their ass, or lips glued to a barrel of dwarven ale.  How does the common DF player keep their residents occupied besides mass-quantum dumping?

DF Gameplay Questions / The +Functional Little Questions Thread+
« on: March 02, 2010, 05:01:55 pm »
Lately I've found that the other thread on this board ends up with no shortage of completely unanswered questions that are swiftly forgotten under a pile of answered questions, so I felt that the creation of this thread was necessary.

The rules are simple; you must at the very least attempt to answer a question before you ask one yourself, or in some manner keep any unanswered questions queued up so that they are answered as soon as possible.  You are allowed to answer a question without asking one, and in the case of NO questions pending to be answered, you may ask one freely without attempting to answer a question (that would not exist in this case.)

I will start off the chain of questions/answers.  As the DFwiki is down at the moment, a question burns in my mind.  What are the requisites of capturing a purring maggot, and how does one go about doing it with efficiency?

DF Modding / scrolling/increasing, decreasing values
« on: February 20, 2010, 11:04:53 pm »
I *hate* using the + and - keys to scroll through menus and change values.  How do I change this so it's alt+arrow?

DF Gameplay Questions / the cold, volcanic world
« on: January 30, 2010, 07:11:45 pm »
I've been trying to gen a world containing an area that exactly matches my desires: cold climate, flux stone, no aquifer, magma pipe high savagery and a river.  I've been tweaking the settings on specific world generation, but to no avail!

how do I go about getting the land I want?

DF Gameplay Questions / seeds.
« on: January 25, 2010, 06:21:28 pm »
where are the raws for the seeds? I'm trying to find an example so I can mod in some seeds for bloated tubers, I don't like that you can't plant them.  They seem like potatoes, you should be able to grab off the little baby ones that grow off the parent tuber.  Thus far, I've added some seed tags into the tuber raw that I followed example from another plant.

DF Gameplay Questions / screwing with the matgloss
« on: January 24, 2010, 09:41:48 pm »
I started tinkering with the matgloss file in terms of color when I was constantly frustrated in not immediately identifying a given rock wall as obsidian (I wanted it a darker shade of gray), and now I can't get it back to normal.  Where would a repository of the standard raws be?

DF Gameplay Questions / trapping/taming/loving wild animals?
« on: December 21, 2009, 04:42:54 am »
Hello DF!  Got this game a week or so ago and learned how to use it with the utter and complete newby's guide (thanks tinypirate!) and I'm absolutely addicted.

My question is:
is there a more focused view of how to use the kennel other than the fine one in the DwarfWiki?

I've got my heart set out on taming some of the creatures that roam through my area, namely goats and perhaps deer if they happen by (maybe even a unicorn? is it even possible?) for my personal entertainment and use.

oh and another question that comes to mind:
I've tamed a lizard and can't seem to set him free.  When I assign him to a cage and unassign him to that cage, Urist McTrapper plants him right back into the animal trap instead of letting him roam free about the place as I intended.  In addition, I have also trapped a Fluffy Wambler (perhaps a relative of the tribble?) and can't seem to tame him whatsoever.
