kay so, if this belongs elsewhere say it
« on: July 11, 2010, 01:40:29 am »
Alright I don't know if this is technicly a 'gameplay' question. I want to upgrade to version 9 since it's got a lot of good bug fixes right? But I have a really good fort going in my current version and I'd kind of been building up abandoned forts for adventure mode. So my question is, if it's possible can I transfer my world gen and my fort over into .09?

.09 is currently unplayable unless you want to kill every caravan that visits or somehow keep your animals and military far away from them.

It's hilarious the first few times it happens, though.

Your fort military and animals are automatically hostile towards caravans. Toady has said that he'll be fixing it soon, though.

...ah think I'll wait till that's fixed though to ask still if I wanted to transfer my world and fort over into the new version how would I? and is there anything I'd need to watch for? (like would the world asplode seeing as I don't get an arsenal dorf in 09 and have one currently?)

It's generally as easy as going in to df>data>save, renaming your region1 (or whatever is appropriate) folder to something else, doesn't matter what, Lets say Awesomefort.  Then you download the new version.  Fire it up and create a world to make the save folder exist.  Quit the game.  Then just copy your Awesomefort folder into the save folder of the new version.

And this is totally the right forum for this, by the way.

You don't have to make a new world.  Just copy over the df/data/save folder.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.

If you cage your livestock up you're ok.

True,
but it seems every time I try to help someone with this lately, they end up with nested save folders telling me the game doesn't recognize the save.  I thought I'd make it newb-proof.
