What version are you using? The zoom feature was only recently added 40d11 or 40d12 I think. The latest zoom able version is 40d13. Please not 40d (no number at the rear) does not have zoom.

[QUOTE=Wakka V2;16499073]Just re-install DF. Delete the folder and extract a new one. [editline]02:53PM[/editline] Also consult the DF wiki.[/QUOTE] It got nothing to do with DF.. the keyboard does not even do SHIT+ "the symbol" in note pad... my prob is not in the game..plus,if i press the symbol" button without shit its ok its "." see .... ... ... ...

Oh you mean changing levels with < and > I thought you meant changing the size on the fly. I don't know why those keys would not work in notepad. If you want to change the binds just search for [code][CURSOR_UP_Z:SHIFT+COMMA] [CURSOR_DOWN_Z:SHIFT+PERIOD][/code] In data\init\interface.txt

[editline]06:22PM[/editline] Ok,bad. I made a few attempts because the first one was bad,it stuck when i zoomed in. the screen became black with grey spots in it and i couldnt zoom out, so i made another attempt,and he didnt work. SO i made the 3rd attempt and it was like the first attempt,black with grey spots and in right down it was 127 and right up in red there is 17 ....WIERD....what to do? [editline]06:24PM[/editline] YUP,its stuck, i tried now a button without SHIT + and it waited me in the same black spot. Any other way? [editline]06:29PM[/editline] Okay, FIXED =] Thank you ricewind.

The two numbers you are referring to are depth numbers the one in the bottom right is the absolute depth relative to the centre of the world! the number in the top right is your depth (or altitude) relative to the surface.

My first fortress is quite a succsesful one, but i can't make bedrooms. Too much dwarves. Is there any way to assign bedrooms to dwarves without the extra work?

[QUOTE=Thorny;16493967]I want a link to that song Orkel linked about 2 threads ago. It was dancing medieval style German viking dudes, and it was great.[/QUOTE] Ahaha, that one. Sure, here it is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8peIPs2VJg[/media]

Yessssssss that was it. <3 you Orky <333

[QUOTE=Tzefa;16499912]its good. [editline]07:16PM[/editline] What does the idlers on the corner means? its changing often[/QUOTE] How many dwarves aren't doing anything useful.

[QUOTE=Orkel;16499838]Ahaha, that one. Sure, here it is: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8peIPs2VJg[/media][/QUOTE] Damn. That's awesome :o

I'm kind of confused on why I cannot make Pig Iron. I have irons bars, lots of marble, and ash, but I still cannot make it. Edit: Nevermind, solved it.

i try to make alot of stairs 3 levels underground but i have a problem it dosent work some red.. some just dosent seem like good stairs.. how do i delete the damaged stairs from all of the 3 levels and from the surface? i wanna start over..

[editline]06:02PM[/editline] I've lost y first few dwarves, and this time, it wasn't my fault, two hunters got killed because of a kobold ambush and I lost two recruits fighting fort the fortress when a combold wrestler attacked. They were ripped into pieces. :( R.I.P. I think my recruits were unarmed, I mean, I chose axe as their weapon but I only have like.. one. Big problem. And just as I was typing this I got word of that one of my hunters is unconscious. The biggest problem is that all my dwarves go to the dangerous river to drink instead of drinking from the pools outside of the fort, and I can't fix it. [editline]06:02PM[/editline] The hunter just died. :(

To remove stairs select remove up stairs from the designations menu or remove construction from the same menu, depending if the staris where created by mining or by the build menu respectively.

[QUOTE=terrorclaw;16492534]I started kind of an odd game just recently, Trying to make a completely above ground fortress except for the farm of course...so..Here is a picture, from the visualiser... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/Craftman/untitled.jpg[/img] okay, description, The red building with the fortifications on it is the barracks, The black building is currenlty unused..thinking of making it food storage, the in progress yellow building is my wood storage, the In progress wood building on the right side is the refuse storage, and the three little wood buildings and partialy constructed ones as well on the far side is the workshops.[/QUOTE] You should play as humans if your making a city like that.

Remember that Up/down stairs have an X for designation.

Its okay, i got it. i had to make upward stairs so they will have a way to go down to make it -.-" . thank your for your kindness even tho i flamed you , you tried to help me.

Semi above ground fortresses are working pretty well for me. They're a surface "human looking" fort, but then have the hatch to the whole hive. Quite easy to defend with a moat. The bonus that the crossbow men get from being on a higher level than the enemy(not possible on inside fortifications) and the dificulty to get in make every trap(except the ocasion cage to get random criters) obsolete. Let's hope it stays that way.
