What non-vanilla LNP stuff do you use?

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163211.0 that's what i used.
but i'll download the latest vanilla release and try that... it was a facepalm though, realising i put about a days worth of worries into soundsense running and then realising DF doesnt work
facepalm again, as i just found out how to install the required sdl packages
vanilla works, now i'll try LNP, then LNP+meph
hopefully next facepalm won't be due to my low linux-skill

managed to get soundsense to work on linux and even copied in mephs raws, art and inits, but didn't check if the linux LNP works. so now i can use soundsense without DF 

when converting to stained glass, big tiles with less detail are better  input material.

It did look pretty good, actually, but it lost compatibility with any modern DF version, and nobody updated it.

ah, i guess i know which one you mean.
its main flaw was that it let MC generate villages etc over the existent DF world.
but we're deriving...

as long as it's only the inits, they contain little changes i can easily do manually - i 'm rather afraid if the changes in the raws will be compatible with the new game version. (mephs is 44.07 and LNP 44.09)

so if the only real reason for immortal gobbos is to prevent sieges dying of old age - i suggest setting their maxlife a little higher and not make them immortal at all. or would death of old age of maybe 2 gobbos during a siege break/crash the game?

Or just stick with the current plans and procedurally generate lore with Mythgen. No point in replacing one temporary situation with another.

You can set the maximum age of goblins to anything you like, no reason to stick with vanilla settings if you don't like them. That's why he makes the game customizable.

true.

I dunno, do humans ever die of old age during a seige?

tbh i never had war with humans.

If you start the LNP from a terminal by running ./startlnp in its root: then when you doubleclick soundsense in the utilities tab you can see the messages/errors logged to the terminal.
You can also start soundsense without starting LNP, by cd'ing to /LNP/utilities/soundsense and running ./soundSense.sh

thanks. found out that java wasn't installed - although it should already be... strange. reinstalling java and trying again.
EDIT: it works now. thanks.
EDIT2: soundsense now works, but DF crashes under wine... so can i just copy the contents of Mephs DF over into the linuxLNP?
