Hello,
it's been a long time since the last Khazad release, so I decided to release some snapshots to get feedback.
Please be aware that these are development snapshots. They shouldn't eat your fortress though

Download current snapshot: 288
News:
There are changes to map geometry, making underground tunnels less obscured
GUI reworked to make it look a bit better
Vertical mode is now replaced by a camera angle lock
Some bugs are fixed (and probably other ones introduced)
Yet more trees
Dig tool is split into dig, slope and channel.

• 250

Known problems:

• Objects don't have any 2D billboards yet.
• Saving and loading map files is currently disabled. This will need way more work to do it properly.
• The debug output has been removed and there's no replacement for it yet.
• Renderer needs depth sorting of geometry to handle transparencies right
• Liquids haven't been ported to new renderer yet.

Watching as well.

Sadly, the program crashes. (Vista 32)

Yeah I have the same error and I'm on WinXP
previous 0.0.5 worked fine.

UPD. I've copied files from v.0.0.5 but not replaced that was already in svp188
Khazad started up but not load anything
sorry bad English.

[peterix]

I've uploaded a fixed archive.
It was a missing font file. I'll need to add tons of error checking code to this thing ~_~

[Chubacca]

Yeap now it works)
And it looks great) good job =)

Really neat stuff. I enjoyed checking out the outside of my fortress.

A couple of (obvious) usability suggestions:

- Tooltips on the UI buttons would be awesome. It took me a while to figure out what everything did.
- A "restore camera to default height and angle"-function would be nice.

Btw, are there any written instructions anywhere? I may not be using it correctly.

Good ideas. Ok. Added it to my TODO list

There are some instructions in the old release notes for 0.0.5. They are rather outdated.

[Buddybud]

tried the last update and it worked fine for me. I like the second slider added to the controls. Is it possible to add a feature that would allow you to remove ALL exterior terrain so you can only see "constructed structures" and interior dug out areas?... Essentially visually isolating your fortress from the surrounding terrain..... Anyways, regardless a nice update, cheers.

[Zako]

What is this exactly? I've never seen it before...

Cheers, I'll take a look.

How much work would it take to port this to Linux?

[peterix]

How much work would it take to port this to Linux?

It already runs on linux. It's my main system.
I just don't make packages or binary releases... mainly because I'm always using the newest versions of system libraries and if I released the compiled binaries, it wouldn't run on other distros. Those libraries often aren't backwards-compatible. Plus I would have to mess with chroot environments to build a 32bit version - my system is 64bit-only.

Yes. I'm lazy. I'll put together some updated build instructions later.
