Original problem pretty much solved itself (mod was not working at all) now I'm just looking for a way to get the graphics pack from chariot (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1238) running.
I extraced the .zip file to raw\graphics but the game still looks the same. I haven't touched my ini file (well I set graphics to yes since it didn't have any effect I changed it back to NO) and I don't really know what to to.
HALP

Can anyone help me with this? I'd really like to play this mod with a graphics pack.

Try messaging Chariot about it, he's the man who put it together, after all.

Playing now, haven't seen all that much harder but some random species keeps trying to steal my stuff. Unrelated, the sturgeons in the river killed my peasant and 2 more died of consequential tantrumming.

Year 2 begins now. 

[Mraedis]

Ok.. something called a Stone Maiden came by and ate my 8 champions, then left. After an immigration wave or two I drafted 16 more, but then a Chaos Spawn came and slaughtered everyone. There's only a child and a beaver left, both wounded, and the Spawn is camping at my fort entrance.

[Captain Mayday]

You've now learned a valuable lesson about why Dwarves traditionally have their fortresses heavily vaulted against the outside world. 

[Mraedis]

Hah. It left and I survived! (Well actually, 3-4 migrant waves got slaughtered first. )

Anyway, we're some years further, my military is larger than my regular population, and all I've been fending off are enraged sturgeons and Avari ambushes.

Also, how evil are Magma/Fire men? I have one of each, and I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I station my champs there. 

[Captain Mayday]

Not a great more evil than the vanilla ones, which is to say they are quite dangerous.

Vertigo try changing the underlined words to the name of the graphics file.

Hi,

There's a bug in the launcher exe. It comes up with the message.

"Windows cannot find 'DWARFF~1.EXE'."

I'm running 40d16, the Dwarf Fortress executable is named dwarfort.exe not the dwarffort.exe that the launcher is looking for.

On to worldgen

[Captain Mayday]

Just change the df executable to what it's looking for. it won't impact the game at all.

[dephelis]

Yup, that's what I did. My previous was just an FYI.

Worldgen complete, time to embark

Trade bug?

Humans and elves came to trade, almost simultaneously, on a second year's spring. After they came to the depot, I closed the entrance gate. Merchants unloaded their goods, my dwarves brought wares for trading and my broker traded with both races just OK. But after some time a message appeared "The merchants need a trade depot to unload their goods". It appeared twice in a row. This was strange, so I opened the gates just in case there is some stray merchant out there who could not get to the depot. Nobody came in anyway. And after some time again humans packed and went on their trip, much earlier than elves (let me remind that they came the same day as elves).

The bug is, humans left all their goods and also all the wares I traded to them. And I don't want to start war with them yet =)
