I know someone who is really really good at curl and bash scripting at my work that could work this in two minutes.

[PeridexisErrant]

Yeah, this is definitely not a least-effort solution.  On the other hand, I aim to have the script do everything else too - from update keybindings when the format changes, to writing my changelogs for me.  It's not what it does now, it's what it can do in future: repeatable builds from a simple config file to the latest components.  Plus some other stuff; for example here's a table it outputs about the components it's pulling in:

So for example you can see I missed the TwbT update; that could have been in r19 if I'd seen it earlier.  I'm also thinking about dropping the Story Maker, as I don't like distributing old closed source binaries.

[lethosor]

It might be nice to move that to the LNP organization (once it's stable enough, that is).

Also, I think I've fixed the workflow crash! There are issues with some saves already being broken that result in crashes even without using DFHack, but workflow should patch those automatically.

[PeridexisErrant]

Awesome!

Yeah, medium-term I'd love to share it more widely, and maybe have a single codebase with a config file for each platform.  Something like this could be useful for players on exotic *nixes, for example.  For now the focus is just on getting it right for me though, and designing for later improvement where I can.

[lethosor]

The Linux LNP handles issues on most distros (with starting DF, at least) in a single script, so there are only separate packs for 32 and 64-bit architectures.

[ramshield]

Has the stability increased since r17? I had regularly crashes when I updated to r18, especially with (what I think is the cause of crashes) autolabor?

[lethosor]

That would probably have been workflow, unless you weren't using it:

Does this still have the gamecrashing DFHack/workflow bug reported at https://github.com/DFHack/dfhack/issues/741?

Also, I think I've fixed the workflow crash! There are issues with some saves already being broken that result in crashes even without using DFHack, but workflow should patch those automatically.

Note that this pack hasn't updated to DFHack r5 yet, so you'll have to wait for that fix or update DFHack yourself.

ETA: two days for my final 40.24 release.

You guys are amazing, and I want to thank both of you for your great work!

I had the workflow crash on my last save (couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was crashing lol) and noticed the LNP updated, but unfortunately DFHack updated about a day after XD I downloaded R5, extracted and replaced everything, and on startup got a few error messages that seemed to pertain to it being of another version, but I haven't played yet. Can I safely assume everything is probably fine with both the LNP, DFHack, and my manual installation?

EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/AmvlmtK.png

That's what I get on startup.

Ah I see, I updated it last time and it ruined my DF, so I'll wait. Any ETA that is known?

EDIT: Just read the post, eta of 2 days, I can wait that long before playing DF again!

(I threw it at the trash because it just ruined the game for me, but now I can play again )

Not sure if I should report it here (is there dedicated bug tracker ?) but looks like workflow in r19 is not reacting to shortcuts.

If you're using Quickfort, it eats the 'alt' key and many keybindings stop working.  Otherwise, it's probably fixed in the latest DFHack release and I'll be releasing in 24hours or so.  Many components of the pack have bug trackers, but reporting bugs here is usually best as I can pass it on if it's unknown, with comments on potentially related things.

In adventure mode, I got a crash when I tried to move on the map and it said "offloading site" then shut down.

[PeridexisErrant]

The Starter Pack has updated to 0.40.24-r20!  As usual, you can get it here.

Much has happened in the past week; I've (almost, again) finished a system to help me update more quickly, and there have been substantial improvements to DFHack, graphics packs, Dwarf Therapist, and World Viewer.

However, the week to come is likley to be much bigger!  For those who haven't been through a DF release before, here's roughly how it works:
 1. Toady releases a DF update.  You can download this as well, and run multiple versions on the same computer if you want to.
 2. Various utilities, graphics packs, and so on are updated.
 3. I decide to release a pack update, and a few hours later Toady sends us back to stage 1.  (Yes, really.  No, Toady and I don't coordinate.)

Until the I judge the new release stable, all of this will happen at a different file and new players are encouraged to learn with the 40.24 pack.  After I decide it's ready, that newer pack will become the default and 40.24 will be moved to an archive link (as 34.11 was).  If the new version later becomes unstable, the pattern continues.

Changelog:
 - updated graphics; Fricy did a lot of cleanup work
 - updated DFHack to 40.24-r5
 - updated TwbT to 5.50
 - config changes to match DFHack bugfixes
 - now using https://github.com/PeridexisErrant/starter-pack
 - belatedly updated World Viewer to 2.1.3
 - dropped 32bit World Viewer
 - updated Dwarf Therapist to 32.0
