Note Please note that if you THEN update to a different graphics pack your changes to init.txt and d_init.txt will be lost! To avoid this compare the files and see which bits you need to manually change instead. There are some cool ones which aren't available if you only ever use the PyLNP. I was going to list them here but they all have very good explanations of what they do and what the values are so I suggest looking yourself. MAKE SURE TO DO THIS AFTER INSTALLING GRAPHICS PACK AS CHANGING GRAPHICS OVERWRITES THESE VALUES! Go to newroot\data\init\ and open init.txt and d_init.txt and change the various values. Initialisation Finally you want to setup your init (most of the options from LNP). Similarly if your save turned out to be incompatible using the latest version of the graphics pack then you need to use the raw folder from the graphics pack from the version you were upgrading from if you want to change the graphics in your save. My approach is just to use whichever is getting updated the fastest (Ironhand from my experience). Using non updated graphics packs It should be possible to uppdate older graphics packs yourself manually but I've not figured that out yet. You will still get the majority of bug fixes but not any RAW changes Toady has made. Review the release information: to see what you are going to be missing out on and then a) delete your save or b) copy the raws from the save backup folder from the version you are upgrading from. If they don't work it sadly means that the RAWs have been updated between the old and new version of dwarf fortress. Now delete the raws for each save you want to use this graphics pack and copy in the raws from the graphics pack.

Put extracted files into dwarf fortress install directory (will go into data and raw folders) Now copy new folders across and replace any files requested in data/init Label as ASCII (should be newroot/data/art <- whole folder, newroot/data/init <- just three files, newroot/raw <- whole folder)

Obsidian - (not sure how to get this one)įind the equivilent folders in dwarf fortress and BACK them up. Now get your graphics pack: (I've linked to user pages as the download pages may change if multiple versions are supported). The game will pick up on this in the loading screen which is great! Optionally rename your savegame folders to something more meaningful. Make a backup of oldroot/data/save/ <- Contents of folder (This backup is especially important if you try and use a graphics pack and it doesn't work)Ĭopy the backup into newroot/data/ <- (there won't be a /save folder if you haven't generated a new world in the copy you downloadedĭelete newroot/data/save/current <- This folder isn't needed for moving your saves (Example: "C:/Games/DF42.04/dwarffortress/Dwarf Fortress.exe" = "newroot/Dwarf Fortress.exe" We will refer to this location from now on as newroot. Let me know if there are any mistakes, anything is unclear or anything doesn't work! These are instructions for windows but they shouldn't be too different for linux/mac. Here are the steps I took in case anyone else is taking the plunge. So I've manually upgraded myself form 42.02 -> 42.04. So I figured we all shouldn't be so reliant on the grace and goodwill of lazynewbpacks being released super speedily, especially since it sounds like new releases are going to be coming at us pretty regularly now. Edit: It won't let me change the title so I'll put another one here -_-Īn idiots idiot guide to manually upgrading versions
