ARGHH. So if I manually change everything in-game it should finally work alright?

Fingers crossed, I expect nothing.

[Baughn]

Sorry. You could write a converter, if you want. 

The new format is a big improvement on the old one, so this case of "savegame incompatibility" is well worth it. It probably won't change like that again, either.

There's no bay12 channel on Freenode

[Baughn]

There is one on irc.newnet.net, though.

One of the many convenient features of irssi is that it lets me connect to multiple networks, seamlessly. Currently, that means freenode, rizon, newnet and oftc.

That's not how you're supposed to do it.

The only thing that's compatible between 40d and any of the 40dNs are the saves; copying over anything else will mess it up horribly. In particular, the interface format has been completely changed, and it can't read the old format.

Is it not possible to copy the raw folder, and the objects folder across? I thought I had done that, but it's been a long time since I used 40d.

[Dvergar]

but now I get a new announcement "X cancels store owned item: item unreachable" just would like to point it out in the rare event I am the only one

This is "normal". It can happen when a dwarf gets property over an item that is not reachable (underwater for example).

Forgot to mention that they should not be owning anything at this point in th fortress, many didn't even have a bedroom

You void your warranty by doing so. Yes, it should work, but I'd rather not have to deal with all the people who try that and get it slightly wrong.

[Rowanas]

It's working now. Raws, saves et al. I still have to change a load of things next time I embark, but oh well, for now it's working(ish) it looks weird, but I can put up wit that for performance increase.

I don't even know why I bother. My computer runs it perfectly at my chosen cap with or without it... it's done now anyway, so all is kinda okay.

The period is bound to SingleStep in fortress mode and Wait in adventurer mode.  Using for DownZ-Level creates a conflict unless you redefine those as well.

Simple analogy, a car is designed to let you set which pedal to use for the gas and brake.  You set the right most pedal to do both.  What do you expect the car to do when you press that pedal?  What do you really want the car to do with each press of the pedal?  Will you always want that response from pressing the pedal?

I would never have found SingleStep without having to look into this, but I guess a 'feature' of d12 is that the mapping for the z-level change seems to override the mapping for the single step, leading it to function as I expected it to.  Go figure.

ok i got xchat, how do i connect to those networks? xD

Wartender: I live by central european time. Getting ahold of me shouldn't be too hard, except that you tried at 4am.

Since I've seen a few people here have troubles with conflicting keybinds, would it be possible to have it tell you when you double-bind a key through the UI?

I could make it do that, but if you look through the default bindings there are many keys that are bound to multiple things.  For example 'd', Designate, Designate Dig, Adventurer Item 4, Workshop-Mason Make Door, Buildings-Build Door, and quite a few more.  None of those conflict because none of them are available at the same time.

I can't determine what the bindings are used for at the lower level of the keyboard interface.  People just need to think, and pay a small amount of attention.

If you have the menu on the screen it is listed right at the bottom.  40d to 40d12, didn't have any feature giving precedence to the z-level; it just did both things.  Which leads to undesired results.

[Baughn]

The key-binding screen could at least list the other functions bound to that key. It doesn't (and shouldn't) need to prevent you from binding, but it's considerably easier to "use common sense" if you don't need to search through every binding in the game to figure out if there are collisions.

[Mephansteras]

Do the bindings of KEYDD and KEYDB no longer work for [ and ]?

I tried converting my usual laptop interface file over and it doesn't seem to be working right.
