DF Gameplay Questions / Updating game
« on: March 05, 2012, 09:55:49 am »
Hi, I've been searching around and I can't find some post that describes how to update my DF. (if there is, you can pm me and delete this post).

  • I've downloaded the newer version (34.04).
  • renamed the folder of the last version (34.01)
  • installed the newer version
  • coppied entire content of the "saves" folder to the newer version

When I run the game he offers me to create a new world, but I would like to continue playing my last world.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Face Palm moments you had
« on: February 29, 2012, 12:31:00 pm »
For about a two years I've been having vampire atacks inside the fort. It took me some time and patience to find that one among 200 dwarfs, and finally found one. In the meantime I've decided to make my own vampire uber-killing-machine-squad. Now that I've had my dwarf in a secluded room only one thing remained: I've had to injure him somehow that he bleeds a little and then to build a well over it, where other dwarfs (also secluded) will drink water from and become vamps them selves.
Now the problem was that "Only to injure him"... I've tried the following:
- Trap with upward training spear - didn't work for him for some reason - even though I've set it on a repeat.
* (this one is good) - throwing a cat on him from two stories above him... - he moved for some reason and cat survived.
- Tried the spear trap again - he survived, the cat that attached to him.... well... blody mess (but not vampire's blood).. so the trap works, but not for him  >:(
- Installed four spears in the new trap... still it did not work
- Finally, I cut a block above him (only one block), and it fell on him... *** THE FACEPALM MOMENT *** It seams that vampires don't just get a small wound that way... they get crushed, and the worst thing...... HE DID NOT BLEED!
Now I'm left without the vampire, the seed of my vamp army.
HINT: Don't crush vampires if you want them to bleed

DF General Discussion / Re: Linux guide to install Dwarf Fortress

Great - it works :)
The only one tiny problem remains:
Code: [Select]
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks",
Initializing OpenAL failed, no sound will be playedBut I don't think it is much of a problem.

So, to all others who are struggling with this problem, it was just about reading what library is problem and installing the same one with addition of .i686 on the end. (although the package doesn't always have the same name as the error message).
*** This adding numbers to the end is a solution just for Fedora users. Other distros have their own way of dealing around this problem ***

Guys, thank you for all your help :)

Ok, here is the checklist of additional things I've installed:
  • glibc.i686
  • gtk2
  • openal
  • SDL
Here is the error that I'm now getting:
Code: [Select]
./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

DF General Discussion / Linux guide to install Dwarf Fortress
« on: February 18, 2012, 01:37:26 pm »
Hi,
receantly i've installed Linux to my Asus netbook (r051) and now I would like to install Dwarf fortress. Since I am still a newbie for all those scary Linux commands, I would be happy if someone would help me with installation.

I've downloaded the Linux version from bay12 site: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_34_02_linux.tar.bz2

I've first unpacked it using command:
Code: [Select]
tar -xjvf df_34_02_linux.tar.bz2This is pretty much where it stops for me - code:
Code: [Select]
./install doesn't do anything (read somewhere it would be the next step). When I try to run the file "df" using code:
Code: [Select]
./df it says:
Code: [Select]
./df: ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
Could you help me somehow, because I've really enjoyed playing it on the windows 7, and I would not like to use windows version on wine now that there is a linux version.

I have a linux netbook Asus r051 running Linux Fedora 16 LXDE 64-bit version. I have 1Gb of memmory and dual core procesor 1Ghz.
Thanks to everyone that will be willing to help a newbie in the world of opensource :)
