DF General Discussion / Installing pre-generated fortresses/worlds
« on: August 28, 2010, 10:39:19 pm »
Because i've only recently began to play Dwarf Fortress the other day I decided to install the pre-generated tutorial world/fortress Bentgirder* to help me learn the basics of the game. The instructions given for installing the file said to just unzip it in my Dwarf Fortress directory and it would be ready to play. However, when I opened up the game I couldn't acess Bentgirder, only the fortress i'd already begun. Was there a specific place I should have extracted the file to? Do I need to delete my previous world in order to play the one i've installed?

DF General Discussion / Increasing tilesize or zoom?
« on: August 27, 2010, 04:11:55 am »
I've been playing the Lazy newb pack version of the game and I decided to install the mayday graphics because I prefer the way they looked in comparison to phoebus(the default tileset for the newb pack). However when I went back into the game after replcaing the appropirate files I couldn't zoom in as far and the replacement tiles were tiny. Do I need to increase the size of the tiles? if so, how?

After having seen Tim Denee's excellent Dwarf Fortress illustrations and reading several postive reviews I have decided to try the game for myself. However I am still having trouble sorting through what is and isn't relevent and useful infromation. I have bookmarked several pages of the wiki and various tutorials but the sheer quantity of info required to play the game is still overwhelming me a little  :o. could anyone provide for me a list of good tutorials and general game info?*


* also reccomendations for graphic packs and programs etc
