First Power PC Release Up
« on: March 02, 2008, 07:29:00 pm »
All right, here's 0.27.176.38c for Mac Power PCs.  We've moved saves and movies between PPC Macs, Intel Macs and my Windows machine and it all seems to be working.  Let us know if it works for you.  None of the post Feb 24 changes in the change log are incorporated.

Good for the Macers.

I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

Now people at Starbucks will see their trendy friends playing DF and drinking lattes, and think "Man, that guy's trendy with his predatory feline OS and fancy drinks, I should play that game too"

Yes thank you !!
I can finally play it!

Creating World at the moment... looks like it works


EDIT:
Turning on FPS don't seem to work with me... it stays on "FPS: 0"
but the rest works..

This is also the case on intel/mac.

All right! Thanks!

Man, I love this game. I have a couple of old friends. We haven't been talking much lately. DF changed that -- now we're all up in discussing the latest in Gabbro Mechanisms and fortress defense.

I Lol'ed.
People already ask me what the hell I'm playing and I'm on a shity Dell.  Then the three or four of us who play(ed) a lot launch into a discussion of just how awesome the game is.
I always make sure to mention  the impossible learning curve and the wiki, even though it's turned most people off.

Question: Are the new releases for pc versions going to also be released for the mac? If not, how often will new mac releases occur?

Mac releases will occur with each PC release at the same time, as long as I have a Mac that works, barring any hiccups here while we're still potentially getting things sorted out.  Seems like it should be fine from here on out, but since we fixed the PPC version I haven't gone through my whole release procedure, so there could still be some issues there to iron out.

Thanks for the release!

Runs on a G4 1.3GHz with 10.5.2.

Two things to note:
1) When you create the first world its F8 to continue. F8 is by default occupied by the system (spaces). 'Enter' to continue would be better.
2) DF constantly needs ~70% CPU even when sitting idle in the menu. Creating a world raises this by just a few percent. Why that?
