Curses / LCS on NDS?

« on: October 31, 2009, 02:45:38 am »

Well, I just recently got into the Nintendo DS homebrew scene, and I've just figured out that this would be one of the best games to get ported to the DS. So, what I'm wondering is that if there's been any instances of anyone trying to do so, or if it's easily possible for someone who knows next to nothing to get it working.

Thanks for any responses.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Stupid problems

First of all, thanks for the quick replies. I must say... This forum seems far kinder to newbs than a good number I've been to. And the game does seem like an interesting one, from what I've seen. I picked it up because I'm a fan of Rogue-likes and, despite that, it was still a bit daunting, watching the map pan out, and going into my first fortress.

Aye, I did check all of those things. However, I'll have 3 or 4 dwarves just standing around, just wandering around when they should be hauling. I just thought of something, actually. Do you need to put barrels or bins into piles to contain things?

Aww... Ah well, about the only thing it would be useful for is mining out sections and rooms that I'd prefer done first, without having to recall the layout I've not set yet.

And thanks for the pointer about the X's. I suppose I just didn't notice or remember the different color. It certainly will aid in keeping the guys from walling themselves in, and will keep my fort nice and purty.

DF Gameplay Questions / Stupid problems

« on: August 09, 2007, 10:00:00 pm »

Hello, all. I'm a newb who just downloaded DF, and I have a few problems, all of them likely very stupid ones.

First of all, I'm having problems with hauling jobs. I'm a neat-freak, even in games, and it bothers me to see all these stones littering my fortress. However, no matter what I do, it seems my dwarves will never even touch them. I've turned off all jobs other than hauling, made sure there are stockpiles available for them, and checked the options. The most I've gotten for this problem is a dwarf collecting a turtle shell before going to drink something. Any help?

Also, is there a way I can direct certain dwarfs to do specific tasks? I've looked and, other than turning off jobs on dwarves I'd like to have work elsewhere, I see nothing for this.

Oh, and when I started building a workshop, some plain white tiles popped up, which blocked my dwarves from leaving the room. I assume this is supposed to happen, but is there a way to set where these will appear? It's a bit annoying, having to tunnel around them. As stated, cleanfreak here, so it annoys having the template thrown off because of that.

I'm sorry if these problems are obvious ones. And, sure, they're not game-breakers or even really problematic, but they do bother me.

This may be a bit unusual to ask, but would it be too hard to convert this game into one where you can actually mold the political situation into the exact one you want? Sure, it would get rid of an ending, but I think it would be a bit better to be able to make your ideal country, with work.

Or maybe there's something already like that out there? Not precisely like LCS, of course, but a game where you can control the sway of the masses and the political situation.

I apologize if this is strange to ask, but it would allow those of us who aren't true liberals to get a bit further into the game.

You know... I was just thinking, and shouldn't their be a way to keep your armor and weapons after a police raid? I mean, it gets a bit bothersome to have to buy or make your disguises again, each time you're raided.

Maybe in the hideout upgrade part, you add an option to "Install Hidden Cache" or something of the sort, so you could store all your equipment before being raided. I mean, if you're able to wait several days with the police sitting outside, it shouldn't be that hard to just stash everything quickly, and make it look normal.
