DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Recovery of mid-plan-carefully pre-Fort embark? 43.05
« on: August 18, 2016, 10:12:36 am »
I spent a day copying the starting 7 dwarf's relevant info into a text file so I could refer to it all on the same page...
this is instead of using Dwarf Therapist of course, since it is not yet available for the latest version.

So, I got almost finished planning my embark carefully... choosing starting items and skills,
then I went to sleep, but left the PC on.
 I guess the power must have gone out because I woke up and all is shut down.

I DID save the starting "build" to a file, but that seems to only have saved the items I picked to take.

Is there a way to recover the same starting dwarves and save the hours of work I did copying their preferences and personality to a file?

I tried embarking at the same place (or I believe the same place) with same civilization, in the same world, but it gave me different dwarves. =\

Maybe there is a way to start a custom-like game and choose the dwarves I have in my ref./note file as my starting seven?
Anyone know of this kind of hack/mod?

Other Games / Everquest Project 1999

I searched the forums, but didn't see mention of this great,
free, server/community incarnation of the best time period in Everquest's history.

Anyone else play on p99 blue? Yes there's also a red (PvP) server, though the population is usually more like 200 average versus the 900 of the blue server.

Give it a Google and come join the thousand or so people who are playing it all day every day.

Totally free, Everquest up to mid-Velious release now I guess... (no hybrid class exp penalty now!).
It's better than you remember since the community is generally more mature/homogeneous,
and the internets has lots of good info that's easily accessible (http://wiki.project1999.com/Main_Page for one) for those who like to do their reading, or have maps.
The server population is generally super nice and helpful, willing to answer all questions and give lot of free starter gear or good deals for new people.

On a personal note; I beg you to read the naming policy before naming things... I think a good 10-30% of players don't even know there is a naming policy  :'(
http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17488
the policy is designed to avoid immersion breaking, and it's, sadly, not really enforced due to time/manpower issues I guess,
 but it's still important to those of us who are trying to play the "R" part of the 'MMORPG'. ;)
