Could we get some screenshots? The tiles look great, but I'm sure it would be nice for people to see it in its full glory. .. puhleeezzze...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / *SPOILERS* A waaaahh?
« on: May 31, 2010, 12:27:47 pm »
I just encountered Ciwa methununore down below, a FB and.. a GIGANTIC SAUROPOD, with torquoise shells. It appears to be emaciated (oh yeah and it has !deadly blood!).



???

There are dinosaurs in DF? Uh, did I accidentally hit the center of the world?

Of course though, it somehow managed to cross the cave lake to try to take a bite out of my farmers. It was promptly struck down by a squad of axe and sword dwarves, with the loss of one dwarf who dodged into the lake.

(Uhm.. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to link to other sites/forums .. :p )

AMD Overdrive = overclocking tool that can be used by AMD Fusion ( a performance improving tool ) to automatically overclock.. or something. That feature seems to be only for the newer AMD cpus.

Hmm, it should be fixed with those cpus, but it's worth a try.  Try this method: http:// www . rebelshavenforum . com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000111

If not, take a look at AMD Fusion. It has some interesting features.

(Windows 7 x64 / Phenom x4 9500 here, by the way)

DF General Discussion / Phenom DF Boost
« on: May 19, 2010, 12:54:02 pm »
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but.. to all those AMD Phenom sufferers, you might get a huge speed boost from disabling the TLB patch or, it seems, using AMD's Fusion program (gee thanks AMD, cripple your cpus and then release a program to fix it with the label 'amd boost'). I am getting 2-3x the FPS compared to when the TLB is enabled ( it is under windows ).

Have fun.

Nahh, it's much more fun to get a dozen dwarves picking up Gypsum and watching them fling it down a cliff.

Great fun when you re-designate everything in the dump to be dumped again, they pick it up, go ALL the way around, just to throw it back down.

Wait, so.. do dwarves still increase 'strength' / speed by hauling things around or am I thinking about older versions of DF? (Hmmmm.)

Woh, this is amazing. I am liking the new floors and overall mood that is much more sinister.   ;D

I am still waiting for Phoebus's tileset, but thanks for that link.

Huh, it actually looks quite nice.

Why does it look so... wrong (ugly), though?

Nooooo... stupid AMD cpu, .04 didn't improve the FPS at all (26 fps with 40 dwarves). Zooming is nice, though.

DF General Discussion / Re: Am I the only one who likes the user interface

I'm generally fine with the interface, but there are are few glaring problems.

The military screens need to be redone so they make sense. Although I have a feeling we would be much less repulsed by them if the associated military bugs were sorted out. I do wish the equipment screen were a little more useful; I'd like to see what, exactly, a dwarf has equipped at the moment and be able to order him to drop unwanted equipment and forbid him from using specific equipment.

The worst problem for me is how almost every single list in the game requires you to scroll through each entry individually. I loathe getting caravans after a few years because it can take ten minutes to scroll through all the junk. Give me a collapsible list, or at least a freaking page up/page down key so I can scroll quickly. This also applies to the stocks screen as well.

All of a sudden I get the funny feeling that there are page up and page down keys in the trade screen, but I've not found them after more than a year of playing....

... but.. you CAN use the page up/down in the trade screen., at least in the latest version.  :P
