Will it also support designating stockpile settings themselves (the items that can be placed in the stockpile)?

That would be seriously amazing. I wrote the savestock/loadstock plugin for dfhack just because I make extensive use of fine grained stockpiles in every fort, and defining them is a very tedious process. Being able to have blue prints that designate my rooms, workshops AND stockpiles would be killer!

Superb instructions, many thanks.

Here's a branch that will install the Dark Ages mod optionally: https://github.com/Ramblurr/lnp-forge/commit/3d152d1e4bc3f26cc08f3d537f4cd55e5f5a3531

Any word if this mod still works in 0.47.04?

Using the nvidia experience app on windows, and my Nvidia Shield, I can stream DF from my PC to my TV without many issues. You need a keyboard and optional mouse plugged in to your Shield of course. DF and Soundsense's sound even streams to the TV too.

It's really great fun playing DF on a 49" screen.

Glad to hear! Would love to see the wiki, do you need any help setting it up or anything?

I'll post a Linux pack of DA!

Did you do any tweaks to the default Windows Pack besides the DA mod itself? For example, does the dfhack.init have any DA specific changes? dfhack plugins/scripts? Any DA changes in init.txt?

This plugin is very nice! Would love to see.it added as a dfhack tweak

FYI you have to be logged in to download files from github actions (unlike releases).

I haven't tried the AppImage version yet, I like to have multiple installs of DF going. So building one lnp dir and then copying it to get multiple installs works great.

The community colors pack is something I use quite a bit. Would you consider adding it to the config?

Also, the LinuxLNP and Windows starter pack have a behavior under Graphics > Customize that the FONT and GRAPHICS_FONT chooser dialogs show ALL tileset pngs, wherease the LNP built with lnp-force only seems to show the tileset of the chosen graphics pack (chosen under Graphics > Choose). The former behavior is very useful to select graphics pack A but use the tileset for text from pack B.

Another question, would it be possible to use lnp-forge to build LNPs using a different DF base.

I like to play the Dark Ages Mode (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=143540.0) which is only distributed as a windows package. I'd like to be able use lnp-forge to help automate building a linux LNP for that mod.

I see in the scripts it is possible to provide a custom DF tarball, but I can't seem to make it work.

I added the following to my .config

CT_DF_CUSTOM=y
CT_DF_CUSTOM_LOCATION=/home/ramblurr/src/df/da
CT_DF_VERSION="47_04_linux"

In /home/ramblurr/src/df/da exists a file 'df_47_04_linux.tar.bz2' which contains the DarkAges df folder extracted, renamed to df_47_04_linux and re-archived with tar. But when i run the build step it errors with "[WARN ]    'df_47_04_linux' not found in '/home/ramblurr/src/df/lnp-forge-da/.build/tarballs".

If I manually copy the tarball into .build/tarballs, it will build.

Am I missing something, or is this how it should work?

Finally, because the DA build is for windows, I have to manually copy the linux binaries in place with a script like this (executed from the lnp-forge dir)

#!/bin/bash
DF=/home/ramblurr/src/df/vanilla/df_47_04_linux
DA=./.build/src/lnp-0.14a/df_47_04_linux

cd $DA

find . -iname "*.exe" -delete
find . -iname "*.dll" -delete

mkdir -p ./libs
cp  $DF/df .
cp $DF/libs/* ./libs/
Would be nice to integrate this into the build process somehow, are there any post-build hooks?

Rmblr, you have not been playing?

Hah, when I say "bounced off" I meant that I've only spent hundreds of hours playing DA compared to thousands of vanilla DF.

I really enjoy DA but I've struggled a bit exploring the new features, I tend to play it like vanilla. I remember the wiki from 5+ years ago, it was super cool. Would be nice to have something like that again. I'm the sort of player who has DF wiki open in one window the whole time I play and refer to it constantly, so not being able to do that with DA made it difficult. I'm not much of a raws reader.

That reminds me, I should share the script I use to convert your Windows DA package into one that works on Linux.

Did you do any tweaks to the default LNP + dfhack install? For example, does the dfhack.init have any DA specific changes? dfhack plugins/scripts? Any DA changes in init.txt?

I tend to download vanilla DF linux, extract DA over it, then install dfhack into that dir.. and it mostly works. Occasionally I have crashes, but I'm not sure if that's because I missed something or not.

I've uploaded [v39f] hot fix for Legendary Dwarves with a new download link.

Is the ascii wanderlust dropbox link in the first post updated to v39f?
