[Mr S]

Thanks, I'm pulling all of this out of dream I had last night, I was in a strange place where space and time were warped beyond recognition and toady was helped by yog sothoth. He was programing this to free himself from the ancient because he was abducted and had to live like a dwarf

Wow, I had the same dream, except it was Tsathagua, two Elder Gods whose very names invoke insanity, and Loretta Lynn... err, long story.

Tell us who those gods were?

Can we get a search function for the arena's creature spawning menu? With the recent flood of new creatures and their man/giant versions, finding the right creature takes a lot of page scrolling, even if it's in alphabetical order.

this, so damned much. I find it annoying searching for ages through the 'giant' area, only to find that I missed it and have to go all the way back through it...

Yeah it would be really good.

has anybody heard whether our current fortresses will be compatible with the next release? If I'm going to have to start all over again for mine carts, I will be disgruntled.

I dont think he's done anything that is going to break Save Compat, but Toady hasn't said anything yet.

[Sizik]

He mentioned adding a default minecart system for pre-existing forts, so they should be.

On the devlog from the 4th, Tarn said:

If it's not too time-consuming to convert the whole eventual system, I'll give the 34.02-7 saves a default minecart tool as well -- as it stands they wouldn't have them.

So he wants to be able to ensure that it is not just save compatible, but save "upgradeable".  I don't recall him ever saying anything final, though.

generally, unless otherwise stated, newer versions are compatible with old saves. the last version that was planned to break compatibility was 31.00 version, or the first df2010. 34.02 broke compatibility too because of a save corrupting bug with 34.01, however, many of the features and bugfixes usually require a regen, so you might miss out on some stuff. hopefully not minecarts

E:how did i miss so many ninjas?

A question often asked, but seldom more than once.

0.34.01 was also intended to break compatibility. It was the only version who could only open its own saves and whose saves could only be opened in it.

Well, they ARE ninjas.  You're supposed to miss them, unless they want you to see them
