I've never actually encountered a 'raising' biome yet.

@stormtemplar:

Not 100% sure what exactly you mean by "texture pack", but here's a quick overview of how DF graphics work (Don't worry -- it's nowhere close to as complicated as DF itself):
  • The init.txt file in DF's data\init\ folder -- which is not part of the actual fortress save (i.e. just sets how your specific install of DF works) -- determines the basic ASCII set. Anything in the game that is not a creature must use a tile from a single .png or .bmp file in the art\ folder; init.txt is where you set which file to use. If you want to revert to basic ASCII, just change the filenames for both windowed and fullscreen mode to the default curses_800x600.bmp file (the relevant tags are near the top, so it shouldn't be too hard to find -- just look for something like "mytileset.png"). If you want to use a different tileset, download it *cough*linkinmysig*cough*, put it in the art\ folder, and set the image file thingies to that file's name.
  • In the init.txt file, there is a tag saying something like [GRAPHICS:foo]. Setting it to [GRAPHICS:NO] will stop the game from trying to use special graphics for the creatures, period, which I suspect is the source of the crash (as there's been some modding).
  • colors.txt, in the same folder as init.txt, controls the game's color scheme.
  • In the Spearbreakers save folder, next to the raws, there is a folder called graphics\. This is where the graphics for that save are stored. Installing graphics packs into DF's main data\graphics\ folder -- which I'm assuming most installers do -- will not do anything unless you gen a new world, because the stuff in the actual Spearbreakers folder is still the same. To put creature graphics in Spearbreakers, you'll have to drop the files straight into its graphics folder.

@Splint:

I know; ain't it beautiful?

Right. Sorry was getting DF and minecraft mixed up, they call the equivalent  in minecraft texture packs. My graphics are buggy (Dwarfs and walls are weird) so I'm going to try to mess around a bit, but if someone can provide me with a modified version of any of the graphics things I can just drag and drop it would be great.

Can you maybe PM me a screenshot of the bugged graphics as well as a copypaste of your init.txt? I might be able to help more then.

UPDATE: Okay, so after playing Tech Support Guy (just one of my many personas!) for a bit I have confirmed that I have no bloody clue what the problem is and that storm should ask someone who does :-\

2 things. Firstly, I need some help with the texture pack. Can someone shoot me a link to an install that'll work with it. Second, I thought the place was a cluster****. Then I looked at the third floor. Dear god.

Uhh, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Even I wanted to use a texture pack, but needed to settle with default. Inputting a texture pack breaks the textures somewhat, and you can't change back to default. There's a program to set it 'properly' from default to texture, but not a way to change back.

I've never actually encountered a 'raising' biome yet.

That was a necro siege, actually.

I took over for a quick moment. Fischer was not happy to see that necromancer. Completly wrecked his shit.

What's worse, the soldiers seem to priorize "killing" zombified hair over trying and hunting down the necromancer raising it.

Certainly you could argue that DF is a lot like The Sims, only... you know... with more vomit and decapitation.
If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Actually, Fischer was more than happy to maul the necromancer when I told her to kill him.

I will say this: Mitch did a good job fixing things up. It's still a hellhole, but it's a manageable one. Good news: I've been forced to use ASCII. I can do so, but I usually don't. In a fort this complex? Armok help us all.

Glad to see you're up and running man. Can't wait for the first update!

And when the update drought hits, it'll be creative time for the rest of us to pass time till he gets back.

So tell me the truth - will this fort still be here 13 years from now when my turn comes up? Or will the only occupants be the ever-raising hair?
