DF Modding / Phoebus Tileset with Dwarf Fortress on a Mac
« on: July 26, 2012, 05:06:41 pm »
Wanted to make these instructions I wrote a little easier to find, since I had such a hard time finding any information on it, and getting it to work.  :)

Hope it helps.  Strike the earth!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Got my first werebeast

Fairly new to the game, so I didn't know these were rare. 

Got a were-giraffe on one of my first games.  Was already running out of drinks, and my dwarfs were having a tantrum spiral due to a lack of alcohol and seeing all their friends murdered due to a lack of a military and frequent goblin attacks.

It was pretty crazy. :)

DF Modding / Re: [0.34.11v00] Phoebus' Graphic Set (Updated to DF 0.34.11)
« on: July 24, 2012, 11:26:39 pm »
I found the Phoebus tileset in the Lazy Newb Pack, but don't normally play on a Windows box.

I wanted to use the tileset on my Mac laptop.  I found a lot of Linux instructions that "should" work on a Mac, but had trouble "filling in the gaps", and didn't see any step-by-step instructions that were specifically for a Mac.

So I tried all the posts, took notes, and eventually got it working.  Here are my Mac specific instructions.  I need to play a game to test it all, but previously I had "c" for chickens, and now I have the white hen icons like I had with the Lazy Newb pack.  :)

--- start here ---


My Mac / Phoebus Instructions (mostly from previous posts)

1. Download df_34_11_osx.tar.bz2 from http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
2. Download DF_Phoebus_34_11v00-PreInstalledPackage.zip from http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2431

Now the actual commands:

tar -xvjf df_34_11_osx.tar.bz2
unzip DF_Phoebus_34_11v00-PreInstalledPackage.zip
mv DF_Phoebus_34_11v00-PreInstalledPackage.zip Win32Ph
mv df_osx Phoebus

Then…

rm Win32Ph/raw/graphics/graphics_example.txt
rm -rf Win32Ph/raw/graphics/example
cp -R Win32Ph/raw/* Phoebus/raw/
cp Win32Ph/data/art/* Phoebus/data/art/
cp Win32Ph/data/init/colors.txt Phoebus/data/init/
cp Win32Ph/data/init/init.txt Phoebus/data/init/
cp Win32Ph/data/init/d_init.txt Phoebus/data/init/
cp Win32Ph/data/init/embark_profiles.txt Phoebus/data/init/

Now run the game:

cd Phoebus
./df

Be sure to create  a new world, prepare for your journey carefully, filter for a good embark spot, and enjoy!
