DF General Discussion / Re: The Bay 12 Crest
« on: March 14, 2008, 06:08:00 pm »
Psh, still waitin' on my coloring to get here. ;P Nice crest though.

Bonus points if someone can use actual heraldric language for it. I used to have a book on heraldry (picked up $10 from Borders, was awesome) but I'll be damned if I know where it ran off to.

On the other hand, trading a breath weapon in exchange for immunity to insta-kills due to random organ damage is a pretty good deal.

Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

Remember kids: elves are bad. Keep some iron handy and do your part!

DF General Discussion / Re: FPS trouble

My guess is more Vista than anything else.

I'm running DF via wine under ubuntu 7.04 on an HP Pavillion with integrated Intel graphics and some generic sound chip; single-core ~2ghz, 2gb ram. No significant slowdown issues. DF doesn't actually use dual-cores at all right now (from what I've read on the boards) but 1.5 should be plenty big speed for DF.

Leap out of bathtubs a lot, get halfway to the door, gives up, gets back in the bath.

Oi, not in my thread you don't. Make your own.

X: thanks for the info. It's not quite what I was hoping for, but I can go harass ubuntuforum folk for that.  ;) Always good to learn new commands and tricks, in any case.

Well, that'll dump out text okay, but how can I get it to display properly in OO, text editors, et cetera?

DF General Discussion / DF font, linux
« on: February 29, 2008, 02:41:00 pm »
Anyone know what font DF dumps its text in? I'm running ubuntu, and while everything displays fine in the game, the region history texts have all sorts of weird artifacts like.. well maybe it'll show up fine for you, but As‰n has got this huge die in the middle of it. =p I've installed the MS core fonts and whatnot, but obviously something's not set right somewhere on me system. If anyone else is running DF via wine and can point me towards what to fix, I'd appreciate it.

I realised the intro movie charts your fortress' progression: initial chambers, going across the river, going across the chasm.. it seems to lack magma but ends with a demon-pit death, so there's that. Wasn't until I'd played the game awhile that I could actually appreciate the movie for what it was.

DF General Discussion / Re: GeekNights Podcast
« on: January 21, 2008, 12:22:00 am »
On a personal note, this podcast finally got me to donate after finding the game in late 06; having a voice/person to put to the screen name really clinched it for me.

If you've got slacker friends who haven't donated, have 'em listen to this and see if it helps them find the path. ;)

DF General Discussion / Re: Elephant aggression solved!

I dunno, I just want to be able to mine for salt, and appease angry elephants with it. Have you ever seen pictures of salt mines? Very dwarf-y as far as atmosphere goes. Do some googling; we must start a salt feature request campaign.

It's just resource competition. They just want our caves! Fortresses. Fortress-caves.

Entirely possible; where can I set that to test it?

DF General Discussion / Intro animation sped way up?
« on: October 29, 2007, 05:39:00 pm »
I rather liked the slow, somewhat ponderous speed of the original; was this an intentional thing or something that just crept in?
