Oh hey! I was going to ask you for those. I’ll upload the save later today. Still running on 44.05

Ok here's the latest save NCommander. I had to put in dropbox because the file is too big now for the DF File Depot. All I think I need are pedestals, display cases and the museum location option. Good luck!

Monster fortress is monster. Got DFHack setup, and the tileset bent into the right shape.

Anyway, this was considerably more straight forward to at least get partially working than the library












Display cases are *NOT* working. There's likely a reaction missing but I can't seem to find it. I can create glass windows but actually building the case doesn't show up.

Awesome, I was only going to use pedestals anyways. Can you assign a museum location from them?

Sorry for the delay on this, I came down with a bad case of sick, and haven't been able to test my modifcations to the point I'm happy I didn't blotch anything. I'll try and do it this evening.

Also, I'd think display cases would fit in your glass tower more than pedestals would ...

No problem, it sucks trying to do anyhting on this game sick. The pedestals I can make out of glass, but display cases have wood bases so straight up glass pedestals would work better I think.

Lurked this thread for a long time, but now that I've got an account I might as well ptw.

Probably the most legendary fortress of all time, here's to another 400 years at least!

Follow-up here. I did fix display cases; just need to recheck muesums, but haven't manage to stress test this. If I don't get to it tonight, I'm just going to upload it as is, and let Sethatos abuse it. I'm more confident than the work I did is less likely to break. I do need to create a muesum and make sure it works.

Unfortunately, I had a bad case of "OMG ILL" happen after I posted this.

I can test the museum location if you're not up to it. Take of yourself, sounds like you got a nasty bug. Thanks again for doing this!

Just sent it as a PM. No desire to take this and make you wait a week while I stop feeling sick. Make sure it's stable and doesn't crash cause I didn't do anything beyond the most rudamentry testing before my body said "F*** you".

I'll post a narrative paragraph that goes with it when I feel slightly less dead to the world.

Thanks again! And don't worry about writing if you're not up to it.

Made a museum from an artifact on a pedestal. Seems to work fine so far:

Reading this makes me want to make a multi generational fort.

Get a good computer, set your population low, and turtle. Also grab yourself DFhack for fixing bugs that pop up in long-running forts.
