Is there any way to run DF with no graphical environment going? just straight from the command line? I run debian on an older laptop without x11/org/anything else and I'd love to run DF on it. Adventure mode doesn't rape slower cpus as much as fortress mode does :p

You can set DF to use text-based output via the init file(s).

oh, dur. I feel dumb. I've even messed with text mode before. Sorry :p

I've recently tried PARTIAL:0 again, in combination with SINGLE_BUFFER:YES.
It gives a slight FPS improvement over STANDARD (21-22 FPS instead of 19-20, with G_FPS CAP:15 and 35 dwarves)
Using it with SINGLE_BUFFER:NO causes flickering.

I use STANDARD, but i might try VBO to see if it does indeed work for me...

I generally use 2D, really looking forward to this whole 'shader' thing, say this seems like the best spot as any, I've heard tell that this new mode will allow for different graphic options (both here and in Ironhand's thread), can anybody give me the brief version of what different changes it will allow compared to what we have now? I generally use ASCII anyways but am curious.

Bumping this to ask, does [PRINT_MODE:SHADER]work yet?

[3]

It wokred when I tried it a couple of hours ago, but I couldn't tell (read: couldn't be bothered to test) if it resulted in a speed boost or not. For all I know it might just be placeholder stuff at the moment.

I need to slow the game down, cant tell whats going on... is there an option to lock frames? or gamespeed

[Tarran]

This is a bad place to ask; you're necroing a thread and asking something off-topic.

Anyway, to slow down the game, change the number in "[FPS_CAP:100]" to something lower.

[Baughn]

No, shader-mode does not work yet. It just defaults to standard instead of erroring.

It'll be mentioned in the devlog once it does, so you can stop asking..

[Root Infinity]

Will truetype support ever be enabled (coded?) for anything other than the 2d print modes?

[612DwarfAvenue]

Eventually, hopefully.

[Cespinarve]

I don't even know what print-mode does, or how I can make it work for me.
