General Discussion / Unable to reach bay12forums using https
« on: December 19, 2022, 08:19:48 pm »
Not sure where to put this, but I'm currently getting a "not secure" warning on this site, bay12forums.com. It seems the site can only be reached via http. When I try to force https, I get "Unable to connect". The issue is present on both my PC and phone, in Chrome and Firefox, so I don't think it's just me.
I tried looking around and couldn't find any existing announcements mentioning this, is this being addressed?

Here's a thread I just started on the wiki as well: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki_talk:Versions#v50_organization

Sorry for the lack of transparency. If I had had more time in the past week, it would have gone towards this.
Thanks for the link Lethosor, I see on that discussion that the migration has an ETA of <24 hours. I'm looking forward to it.  :D

That's perfect, thanks!

Hi Taffer, I just wanted to start off by saying that I love your tilesets a ton. I've been using your Traditional set for years, probably since around 2015.
Anyways, I wanted to know your policy on modifying/using your tilesets outside of DF. I've started playing around with making a simple ascii game using SadConsole, just a small hobby project that I'll put up on Github at some point.
Sadconsole supports custom tilesets in a similar way to DF, and I would love to use your Traditional set as one of the visual style options. I looked at your Gitlab repository but you don't have a license attached. Are the Taffer sets Copyleft? I would of course give you full attribution. Thanks for the info.
 :)

That limitation is probably like that because the world is much less dangerous in current version than it was in 34.11,  by example you can destroy whole bandit lairs by yourself now without needing to have a very experienced adventurer.

Some people have mentionned you can recruit a lot more followers as a "troupe" instead of recruiting them by asking to join, maybe try that.
Ah, I see.
So I'm spreading the news correctly, it's simply a matter of me needing to step it up? I'll try that troupe idea next, thanks.

Nope, I've had TONS of followers without needing to dance.

Kill more significant monsters.
Well, there was a marsh titan reported to be lurking in some swamps about a days' travel away from me...


EDIT: asking people to join me as an entertainer seems to be working pretty well, thanks for the tip!

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / "With a band so large..."
« on: January 11, 2016, 02:24:43 pm »
So this is my first time playing an adventurer since 34.11, and I seem to be having trouble increasing my reputation. I've killed about two-dozen goblins by now, which should have given me the reputation required to recruit more than two companions at a time. Yet, no matter how much I boast of my violent acts, or discuss incidents in which I slew various gobbos, no one wants to join me. The wiki doesn't seem to have any answers either, at least not the pages I was reading.

Am I missing something here? What needs to be done in the current version to increase your reputation and gather more troops?

As an aside, the new poetry/music/storytelling stuff is pretty cool. I'm excited to spread the arts across my universe as a travelling warrior-bard.

Final update hopefully coming in the next couple days. It's hard to find time to play in between work and college finals, but I'm making steady (if slow) progress.

Umm... I can't get the save to work. I was just making sure that I could download and play others' games, so I tried the last save. It didn't work. Yes, I unzipped it, and it looks the same as the other saves that I have. But I'm sure I'm making a dumb mistake.

Also, a gladiator pit sounds !!FUN!! ! ... .  ... ?

(I wasn't sure what to do up there. I wanted to say "FUN!", but with !! around the FUN, but that sounded awkward.)
Have you made sure you're using the correct version? We're playing 34.11.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everybody enjoyed their ☼Lavish Meals☼!

So, right off the bat, I've got to say that the fort is in a much better position than it was at the start of my last turn. We've got a population of 198, with ample food and drink for all.

We've got a big new section of the fortress now too, deep down near the magma sea. It's got lots of magma forges and crafting stuff, plus beds and a dining hall for the craftsdwarves. I'm currently expanding it, making some engravings.

Thank you to the Overseer who revamped our military. It is much appreciated.
Also, we've got several goblins in cages. I feel compelled to do something with them in the second half of my turn. We shall see what I can come up with. Gladiator pit, anyone?

It's been almost a week. Is August going to do anything?
Still working on it, sorry for the wait.


Still working on my turn, had to take it kind of slow because the fort is a lot more complicated than it was during my last turn.
Will try and post an update tomorrow or the next day.

Little dead here, any news? Make a smaller update if needs be ;)

That's a good idea. Okay, I'll put together a mid-season update for tomorrow.
I promise I'll get it done this time :)

Alright, I'm starting my turn right now. I'll see if I can get through a season or two today and post a mid-turn update post.

12
Go. Don't let !!NOOBFORT!! die! Not after I cracked open hell!

(EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MAKE IT OKAY TO POP A HOLLOW VEIN IN ANY WAY)
At once, your noobiness!

Hey, if it's alright, I'd like to just go ahead and be the one to take this turn.
I have time, I could have it done in a few days. If nobody responds, I'll start it tomorrow.

14
4mask pls.
Got any updates?

Urgh, this turn-trading is getting frustrating.
From now on, I think we need to stop giving turns BACK to people when they take too long and we move on. We keep giving the turn to each other, then getting busy and passing it back.

Just keep going, the person who took too long can miss out and do theirs next.
