Okay guys so there I was bashing away at a wolf, picking up after myself, and what do I find?

A Wolf left eye tooth.

These wolves have teeth in their EYES now. That's pretty dwarven.


Edit: Cept I feel pretty stupid now, eye teeth are AKA canine teeth.

error running 40d16:

[abc@abc-system]@file:/df.16$ ./df -sound_output ALSA
mkdir: cannot create directory `unused_libs': File exists
mv: cannot stat `libs/libSDL*': No such file or directory
Segmentation fault
[abc@abc-system]@file:/df.16$

On the other hand, my 40d15 (i think that's the version, it might be earlier) still works. Good thing I didn't delete it. Any workarounds?

EDIT: From the previous version working and the fact that I'm a developer who works with SDL/OpenGL, yes I have those libraries installed.

I am running Ubuntu Linux 9.04, 32 bit edition.

Strangely, the 40d16 works if I download the Windows version and use WINE.


EDIT: Found a fix... very strange, it works if I just run using this command:

./df ./libs

yes wouldn't it get confusing, shading on a 2d surface? by defn of birds eye view that doesn't make sense for different layers.

I was reading the 3D dwarf mod thread (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=29907.0), and it seems to me that many people find it inefficient, unneccesary, or a hindrance. In addition, the general way of play it would require is still similar to that of 2D dwarf fortress, at a relatively slow speed (fps). So I suggest that 3D only be used as occasional screenshot taking methods for megaprojects, significant constructions, especially because many of us tend to build in mountains, which would be extremely hard to view and use in 3D. As a solution, I think Dwarf Fortress should render images isometrically -- that is, still use 2D sprites, but have possible overlap between them, so that these images can be sized differently (instead of the boring 16x16), can have possible animations, and improve potential to DF, and possibly the fps as well. Anyone who has played the Battle For Wesnoth should know what I am referring to. Sprites should have size limits, though, so that one cannot fully block the sprite behind it or beside it so that mountainous regions should have no problems.

For those of you who haven't played Wesnoth, I urge you to (http://www.wesnoth.org)
But you can still get an idea of what I mean through this screenie. Think this image, but on a square grid, and probably more squished:

Perhaps when the magma 'disappeared' it only 'disappeared' from view, the surrounding tiles still contain the 'phantom magma'.

Actually if you save before the artifact is finished and reload each time you don't get the right item, you can 'choose' which artifact you get. You still can only get items appropriate from that workshop though.
