My Odds and Ends

Comments on my current fort/build/whatever it happens to be at the time, are quite welcome and encouraged.

Status of the Fortress

No current fort, and I'm waiting until the Army Arc release to start a serious game again.

Latest Mods

Sometimes In Use

Simplicity Mod (Abandoned by creator) - Very nice for those of you that love the mechanics of the game, but hate having material lists 20 pages long (e.g. furniture placement!)
With only a handful of each of the common material types (metal, wood, stone) item placement is no longer a minute-long ordeal just to place a single piece of any quality furniture of a specific type.

Fallout Mod - Sheer Epic Win.

Plan to Try

Got an interesting Mod you think I should try out?
Tell me about it!
I enjoy trying all the different flavors of DF.
Thorough testing isn't a requirement, but it is preferred.
I'd rather any bugs I find end up being rare.

This is the dimensions in tiles of the display grid. Minimum x is 80. Minimum y is 25. Maximums are 200. Make sure the window size or full screen resolution matches the grid/tile size if you don't want the display to be squashed or stretched. The default windowed font has tiles that are 8x12 pixels, for instance, so for a 80x25 grid, you use a 640x300 window, and for a 125x50 grid, you'd use a 1000x600 window. FULLGRID is used in full screen mode, whether graphics is on or not.

These settings can have a significant impact on frame rate, especially for people that have slow frame rates on the title screen.  Available modes are STANDARD, PARTIAL:<number>, ACCUM_BUFFER and FRAME_BUFFER.  The number after PARTIAL refers to how many frames it will redo a printed tile before skipping it, so you might try increasing it a bit if you have flickering when PARTIAL is set.  Please note that any of these combinations might cause frame rates to drop significantly or cause unpleasant side effects like flickering.
