Bay 12 Games Forum

I also have a question about 40d11, but it's not about the init. I was just wondering what the 11 was for. On the dowload screen there isn't an 11 on the version number. And for that matter, what's the "d" for? Sorry if this is intrusive.

So hi. I'm new to the whole game. I haven't actually started playing yet, but i'm fixing my computer so that i will be able to. I have also read about the game extensively, so i know at least the basics.

So, my first question is for channeling. Say i was going to channel above a tunnel ment for water/magma (but it isn't full yet). The bit i'm going to channel is going to release the fluid. If i channel, wouldn't the water go up to the place where my dwarf is channeling? (not magma though i think). And wouldn't the dwarf fall through the channeled hole? From what i've read elsewhere, neither should happen.

My next question is about graphics (this might need to go in the modding forum). I read on the wiki that you just save the tileset, then convert it to bmp using MS paint. Now, i don't think i have MS paint, so is there another way to convert the file? Or another way to get the tilesets in?

Well, i thought i had a third question, but i can't remember it now.
