Hey all. I'm a new lazy newb still learning the ropes. I have a question about the pack.

I DLd the older version with all the utilities, but I realize now that I'm not likely to use (or even understand) the ones that don't work with the newest versions of DF. DwarfTherapist is awesome, the others I don't care about for now.

My point is, there have been a couple updates to DF since the version I have, (.12). I'd like to get the updated version of the game. How do I do that while keeping all the stuff in the Newb Pack, like the tilesets, gamestarts, etc.? And will I have to start a new fort? (not that my current one is very succesful, lol.)

Thanks!

It's going to take a little while for all the utilities to get updated for the new version.  They weren't even all done for .14 when .15 came out.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any of the tilesets are ready for .15 yet, either.

Edit: I was corrected, you could grab Phoebus' set.

OK, so I should just wait until the whole pack is updated? Then redownload the whole thing and move my saves over?

That or you could use the 31.14 pack and import worlds generated in 31.12 (no goblins in worlds gen'd in .13 and .14) but that might be more work than it's worth to you.

edit:  This is what I get for not following the modding forums for an entire day.  Phoebus, dfhack and therapist all have .15 versions so if you're willing to shop around yourself you'd be sitting pretty with .15.

Phoebus graphics pack is up to date with 31.15.

Ok, let me ask this: Am I missing anything important playing .12?

Nothing truly game-changing right now, well, for Fortress mode anyways.

Hah. I like how I've found out about those new versions through this thread first. Funny for sure.
In a sense it doesn't matter, because we have to wait for utilities anyways. People are going to have to stick with older versions for utility compatibility, unless memory hackers get quicker then Toady again.
Also, If there's even a rumor of a 31.16 quickfix, I'm not even going to bother with .15 XD

There have been no rumors of 31.16.

mostly because it just popped up out of no where.

Toady is a ninja.

I'm waiting for the 31.16 version LNP release. ;-)

I'm waiting for everyone else to catch up to Ninja Toady.

Wooohooo! One of the best communities I've ever been in. Awesome game; dedicated support = win.

[bishun]

I'm eagerly awaiting for the tools/sets to catch up so it all can be put in a convenient package, because I'm lazy

This will be my first dive into DF!

[BigJake]

Looks like they'll have more than 48 hours with this version, at least  Can't wait for everything to catch up.

[Grax]

I've got new DFHack and DwarfTherapist, so game is playble again. ;-)
