It seems that some all of the DL links on "http://www.lazynewbpack.com/linux/" are dead.

WOOT, figured out a workaround! [BLACK_SPACE:YES] messes it up, no clue why! If you have the dreaded black bars, set this to NO.
I suspect it has something to do with the movie though, since it's the ONLY part of the whole thing that ends up getting stretched.

I think roll charts should use a d100, and they MUST have a reroll option!
If you roll twice on type you must combine the requests, for example with tower and hall build a structure with a hall and a tower. Rerolls can trigger more re-rolls.
Roll for type and shape if needed. For every season until it's complete, roll once on the "bonus" chart.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: ok wow
« on: May 15, 2010, 10:51:56 pm »
My dad found a lake full of stalagtite/stalagmite pillars 50 levels tall, the highest uninterupted drop was 48 z levels. There are not words for how much I love what's been done to the underground! 
I haven't yet been so lucky, but I dig down less agressively than he does.
I don't know what exactly openness does myself, I haven't had a chance to experiment yet. I'm sorely tempted to crank that and interconectedness to 80-100 in worldgen.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Booze Moat
« on: May 15, 2010, 10:45:36 pm »
Is booze a fluid in DF2010? If so: does anyone know how to liberate it from the barrels?
I was thinking of having a high dump point leading to a steel grate above the moat 40 or so levels below.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / bathysphere question
« on: May 14, 2010, 10:24:39 pm »
Now, I know if I cause a constructed wall to cave in, it deconstructs into blocks/stones/etc.
If I cause a natural stone wall to fall on the other hand, it falls as a wall.
If I make a bathysphere by carving it out of stone, and shut the "door" via a cave in, when I drop the bathysphere does the interior stay as an open volume?

I'd build it of stone blocks for one reason: constructions deconstruct, so I can fill it with delicious magma.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Why you shouldn't pump magma up 140 z levels
« on: May 14, 2010, 10:09:30 pm »
What might make more sense if you want magma (and this is what I did) is to spend effort early on to find a volcano.
I got magma up on z level 245, savana down at 149, and the magma sea starts at about -15.
My fort is on a small rise isolated from the moutain the volcano is on, I'd need to get several z levels of magma going before it hit the base of my walls.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Layout of circles, triangles as squares on a grid.
« on: May 12, 2010, 12:53:38 pm »Not exactly what you're looking for, but DF Designer might help.
Looks useful for planning but lacks any of the features I'd need it to have for overall fortress design. I tend to carve fortresses out of mountains, so I can lay out all the digging easily enough in game once I figure out the shape I want.

« on: May 12, 2010, 12:18:01 pm »For for doing rotations at any angles. http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Road
I don't get what you're refering to there, roads only build as rectangles aligned with the grid as far as I can see.
OK, here's what I figured out for with a spreadsheet:
the triangular helix describes 2 circles, and thus 2 cylinders, yes? An inner completely filled cylinder, and the outer partially filled cylinder. I figure an interior cylander radius of 10 will do me, so the outer radius is 20.
I need to plot X,Y for all the points of the triangles. Using (sinX * 20) and (cosX * 20) for each angle X gets me those, I only need 45 degrees worth and I can mirror it to all the other points since I'm using 15 degree rotations.
I use a spreadsheet of (TanX * Y), for every angle X [15,30,45,60,75] and width Y(1 through 46, since 46 is the length of the sides of the triangle). This gives me a plot of heights to widths for all the connecting lines.
I could make a similar plot for circles using a (sinX * Y) and (cosX * Y) for each angle X and raduis Y.

DF Gameplay Questions / Magma is the answer to all life's problems! (except being on fire)
« on: May 08, 2010, 10:17:12 pm »
Block off the lake using delicious magma. Just one more reason for all those bauxite pumps!
As for the cave ogres: make 2 walls at the edge of the map. Magma goes in between them.

Does anyone know of some decent software to help me map out shapes other than rectangles on a grid? I want to make a fort that's a helical triangular prism and I was hoping to save on graph paper.
I already figured on rotating it by 15 degrees a floor so I only have to map out a quarter turn and I get sides lining up with the grid often.
