DF Gameplay Questions / Light gray text not light enough?
« on: September 04, 2011, 08:52:55 am »
When making selections, there's a dark gray for text I'm not currently selecting, then a lighter gray for text I am selecting. For me, the difference between the two is so small it's hard to distinguish them. How do I change these so the dark gray is darker, and the light gray is lighter?

DF Gameplay Questions / Key for list of dwarves
« on: September 04, 2011, 08:46:47 am »
I'm coming back to DF after a long break, and I've forgotten which key I press to get a list of my dwarves. I think there was one or two. The one I'm looking for shows what they are doing right now.

DF Suggestions / Allow designating building of walls, floors, etc.
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:38:21 pm »
Currently, to build a wall, you have to start out with a single tile and increase it's width and height, then place it.
I would like to be able to designate a wall to be built in the same way as an area to be mined out, by selecting one corner, then moving to the next corner, and hitting enter.
The game should then calculate how much material is needed for that rectangle, then proceed to the material selection screen as usual.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What is a good tileset that's square but keeps to the ASCII feel?
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:30:33 pm »
I'm getting tired of the rectangles in my fortress not having equal length and height, but when I look in the tileset repository, there are about a million choices. Do any of you use square tilesets? If so, which have you found is the best, and keeps the original ASCII feel? I'm not interested in graphics sets like Mayday's.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How do I assign steel armor?

"metal armor" doesn't appear in the armor list, but "leather armor" does, that's kind of strange.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / How do I assign steel armor?
« on: December 18, 2010, 05:45:50 pm »
Two questions:
I made a mistake and deleted the "metal armor" item in m->n for my "Metal armor" category, and I can't figure out how to add that back to my "Metal armor" category. Any suggestions?
Secondly,
How do I equip my squads or military with a certain metal? I have lots of steel armor/weapons available, but how do I tell them to only use steel weapons/armor? I can't seem to find a way to specify the material. Will they automatically choose what "metal" is the best that they can find?

Why the fewer walls the better?
Isn't a wide city wall good for protecting my tree chopping dwarves?

Just a reminder, I have emailed Toady for permission, and I do not intend on selling them for profit. See my earlier posts (page 1).

« on: October 19, 2010, 09:42:52 am »this:I totally understand the point that guy making, and I agree with him for the most part. But I'm not trying to make dwarf fortress some sort of "commercial vehicle". I merely want to wear a DF shirt because I like DF and I want to wear clothes I like, and honestly I think it would help to get the word out about DF.

Thanks for the reply Shoku, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I just made a new squad, but they were all green, so I'll have to go back and shuffle them so everyone learns faster.

If I were making a profit off it I would be happy to just pass it on. What my goal, is to get as many people as possible who want a shirt, that way I can get the bulk pricing for the online custom shirts, then figure out what the exact shipping costs, etc will be for each shirt, and ask that you pay only that amount. Totally for not profit. I will definitely post where I bought them so people can price check if they would like to.
I think that is a good suggestion to ask Toady about it first, and I will. However, I'm not opening a T-shirt shop here, I'm just talking about making a one-time big t-shirt order, just so we can all get some custom DF shirts without each of us having to pay a bunch for one.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Custom t-shirts
« on: October 18, 2010, 02:28:38 pm »
I've seen some custom Dwarf Fortress t-shirts online, but they all were pretty expensive. I'm thinking of designing a simple DF shirt just to spread the word about how awesome it is. If I order in bulk, I can get shirts as cheap as $8.69 each (25+ shirts) or even $5.76 each (100+ shirts).
I just wanted to gauge the interest of the community in general. Have people already done this before and you already have a DF shirt? If I made a design you were interested in, would you be willing to pay $6-$9 dollars for the shirt, plus $3 for some slow shipping?
Even if only 25 people are interested, I would be happy to mock up some designs in Photoshop (on a similar vein to these: http://www.zazzle.com/dwarf+fortress+gifts), place the order, and ship them out.

Will a squad learn faster if their teacher, or squad leader is very experienced?
