Curses / Looking into implementing canceling the renting of an apartment

« on: February 11, 2011, 12:26:28 am »

Something that I've noticed myself, and seems to be asked a lot, is if its possible to stop renting an apartment. I thought I'd take a look at the code and see how difficult it would be to add in. (If anyone has already done anything towards this, just gimme a heads up and I'll leave it alone)

As far as I can tell it seems like it should be pretty simple, but I wasn't sure how to go about charging for the number of days that the apartment had already been in use that month. It wouldn't make sense not to charge anything as people could just cancel right before payment was due, and then take it out again the next month. Does the code currently track when someone started renting the apartment?

Also, is the right place to ask questions about the code itself? The sourceforge page doesn't seem to have an issue list like Google Code does.

Curses / Building from source in Ubuntu - Solution found!

« on: February 09, 2011, 01:23:29 pm »

Edit: I found the problem - I'd been trying to run it in a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, which doesn't seem to work. As soon as I switched over to a 32-bit version, everything worked fine.

I checked out a copy of the code from SVN, and noticed that there are two files on how to build/install LCS (INSTALL and LINUX_README.txt) - as far as I can tell, INSTALL is a auto-generated file, whereas LINUX_README.txt contains the correct instructions. I followed the instructions in LINUX_README.txt

Code: [Select]

bootstrap
./configure
make

but when I tried to run crimesquad, it shows the following errors:

Has anyone come across this problem before? Are there any prerequisites that I could be missing? I'm trying to build on Ubuntu 10.10 running in a VM. Thanks

DF Gameplay Questions / Questions about Fishing

« on: July 19, 2010, 10:14:34 am »

I'm trying to set up my Fishing 'industry' and I've got a couple of questions about it. Do the fishers bring back the fishes to the fortress? Or is it like woodcutting where they just leave it to be hauled by someone else? Also, what type of hauling is Fish under? TIA

DF Gameplay Questions / Confusing Miner Pathfinding

« on: July 19, 2010, 08:05:01 am »

I just started playing DF and it's been great fun so far. It's amazing that it's mostly the work of one guy. Anyway, I've got a quick question.

Does anyone know how the Miner's work out which square they're going to mine out next? They seem to do it in a very round-a-bout way, and spend more time walking back and forth between tiles than actually mining. Is there anything I can do to help avoid that? TIA
