also, somehow, you have forgotten magma. I smell a schism in the offing.
Magma needs to go ahead and die. It's being overused.
Magma is the answer to all who wouldn't use it?

Arghhh...I'm not great at Linux but this is what happens each time I attempt to start-up through terminal I'm probably just missing something but i did all the libraries maybe I screwed up....I just suck I guess.

Yeah, it's not save compatible if you generated the world etc I'm pretty sure...

You'll need to do modifications.

Dabi: Well, it'd get you access to fixes sooner, but that's your call. I'd like to suggest Wubi if you're a linux newbie; that's pretty idiot-proof. :P

mtsr: Pretty sure it was game fps (not graphical) he was referring to in the first place. :P

Oh, and I've capped G_FPS to 50 in the d18-head, just to avoid the common source of trouble where someone sets it higher than the refresh rate.
Yeahhhh...lasttime i was using linux(a while back) i thought about making a partition...I went great this is easy and so i thought it was formatting the "new" partition I was making. I noticed it said i had a clean harddrive but i was still using the harddrive so i thought something was up. Restarted it and it turns out i whiped my harddrive. Including my windows partition...and I'm no scientist so i can't recreate what was lost.

IIRC, the only change it makes is allowing all types of stone for economic/construction use.
And it adds a CATMOUTH I think.
Yep it does.

I say to honor him encrust the fortress with molten lava? The side effects being a "couple" dwarfs will die...(remember to lock all doors).

I just don't like to limit myself to a FPS. But I guess I'll just make it 100 since I'm not getting anything more mid-game...that's all my questions :P thanks.

Your monitor will limit you to a certain FPS, so you won't _really_ be getting anything higher then say 60 anyway.
Oh? I thought say...200 fps would make things go faster, i'd just see alot more skipping with the dwarfs since I can't see more than 27 or so frames per second anyway with my eyes(Off my head). Also is that say 60Hertz your mentioning?

-I'm now really confused that you edited, I guess it was a misunderstanding :)-

But you're right, having the FPS counter jump like that is annoying, so I've now got three cells reserved for it.

It'll still look jumpy with four or five-digit FPSs, but I can't imagine those being useful for much other than benchmarking pause speeds. :P
I seriously don't know where else to ask as I'm new to the forums and mainly just browse alot for a while...do you suggest I open up a partition for linux for Dwarf Fortress? I mean from what I see you're doing updates for linux version so all fixes would suggest i set it up.(I havin't a issue with getting it running.) - Sorry if this isn't the spot and I'm spamming this topic with useless junk :(.

..don't set the FPS limit to 10,000?

But seriously, no, there isn't much to be done. The game /does/ run much faster when paused, and the FPS counter reflects that.

Allright i guess thats my problem since i put a bunch of cats in a pit and was gonna drown them..Thanks :D.
Back on topic, uhh is there something i can do about the fps counter. It's pretty annonying when it jumps up to say 10 thousand FPS during my pause to do something and having to wait for it to come all the way down just to see my FPS...this is made more frustrating when i have alot of things going on and constant pauses happen.

PS: Game sleeps on my PC(windows 7(PC & Laptop))

To those saying they dont remember the location, why not just use virtual fortress or something similar to get you bearings again?

I find it fun to find new things that I hadn't seen before and expand my knowledge of the universe for my ultimate goal of ruling the world?

I mean not everyone loves to read up about things everytime they see a new "thing". I find it interesting and I learn new things then I may go to a actual wikipedia. Dig down more and learn more and more like history etc.

Say i...found magnetite then went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite just to learn more about the actual stuff and then come out knowing more which is not a bad thing ever(unless your in certain circumstances which I won't bother bringing up).

But a simple option wouldn't be bad...but i guess it's kind of like the graphics at first it's overwhelming then it becomes second nature and you walk out with more knowledge in this case.

Hmm...i was playing and then all of a sudden i get a drop from 50 down to 9 fps. This is on my laptop and PC.
Laptop has a 2.4GHz Dual core
Pc has a 2.9GHz Dual core

I've got around 100 dwarfs...standard setting..and now that i learn ATI may be affecting my OpenGL games...can i get a idea how badly it actually affects it?
