Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Awesome

LucasUP: /* Master List of Awesome */

This is awesome. Project Awesome.

==What is Project Awesome?==
Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused.

* Project coordinators: [[User:Briess|Briess]], [[User:Phantasm|Phantasm]]

There is a possibility of prizes for Awesome contributions to project Awesome. We shall see.

===Task coordinating===
We need to take care every aspect of the project gets some people doing it and of course it is of no use to have 20 people working on small side aspect. One person should act as coordinator of the given task so that there won't be 5 people all doing overlapping things on same issue.

===Newbie unfriendly bugs===
List of various bugs that are of importance to be fixed to make ideal playing experience for newbies. Fixing of these of course requires support from Toady One. These haven't been much of a priority as seasoned players do not get bothered about most of these bugs, but for newbies fixing of these is a must. So, the task for us it to look for bugs that should be fixed in order to allow newbie friendly introduction to DF 2010.

We don't need to wait for everything fixed right away. We could keep a list with explanations of all of these bugs and any work-arounds for Newbs to read up on --[[User:LucasUP|LucasUP]] 12:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

===IRC helpers===
List of people who are regularly on IRC and are willing to help newbies. This is just to see there are enough people doing this and the list won't be given to newbies pointing out who to PM or anything.

Good set of tutorials including some Youtube-videos, wiki tutorials and nice list of important wiki pages.

===Newbie DF bundle===
Good DF bundle for newbie friendliness with preconfigures settings, tutorial map & save included etc.
PDF/Wiki page shortcut list, guide etc?
Maybe 2x2 embark, 7 dwarves, pocket sized world, with simple farm setup, simple workshop layout, simple row housing so someone can see how certain things work?) Possibly also have a small area with screwpumps built to pump water back and forth between two small ponds or floodgate + lever to empty lake into river, and lever + 2-3 high pumpstack+water wheel to refill lake?

===IRC helpers===
List of people who are regularly on IRC and are willing to help newbies. This is just to see there are enough people doing this and the list won't be given to newbies pointing out who to PM or anything. So, this is a wakeup call to IRC people so that they know to activate themselves as helpers when the project finishes and advertising starts.

===How to move savegames to a new version ===

Saves are located here: "DF\data\save"
1) Copy your save folder over to the NEW VERSION.
Your save games still contain old raw and graphic files.
2) Run "df_savegame_updater.bat" in your NEW DF folder.
This will copy "DF\raw" to ALL YOUR SAVES ("DF\data\saves\region#\raw")

Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Awesome

2010-09-03T12:09:10Z

LucasUP: /* Newbie unfriendly bugs */

This is awesome. Project Awesome.

==What is Project Awesome?==
Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused.

* Project coordinators: [[User:Briess|Briess]], [[User:Phantasm|Phantasm]]

There is a possibility of prizes for Awesome contributions to project Awesome. We shall see.

==Master List of Awesome==

{{progress_bar|0|total=1}}
** Project Awesome needs an awesome theme (graphical, etc) to go with it. We need seasoned web graphical designer for the task if possible.
* THE WIKI
{{progress_bar|0|total=1}}
** We need a revamp of the main page. Heck, the entire site would be nice.
** Evangelism page. We need one. (http://df.zweistein.cz/ is cool!)
** We need overhaul of all important pages and make sure they are updated upto DF 2010 properly.

* PRIZES (?)
{{progress_bar|0|total=1}}
** If this happens, it'll probably be t-shirts, pending Toady's permission. We would need t-shirt designs that are Awesome.

===Task coordinating===
We need to take care every aspect of the project gets some people doing it and of course it is of no use to have 20 people working on small side aspect. One person should act as coordinator of the given task so that there won't be 5 people all doing overlapping things on same issue.
*Bugs: nicks (2 people max)
*Tutorials: nicks (at least 5 people?)
*Newbie DF bundle: nicks (3 people?) (LucasUP of Lazy Newb Pack willing to help!)
*Wiki overhaul: nicks (at least 3 people)
*Frontpage theme: nicks (1-2 seasoned web graphical designers)
*more?

===Newbie unfriendly bugs===
List of various bugs that are of importance to be fixed to make ideal playing experience for newbies. Fixing of these of course requires support from Toady One. These haven't been much of a priority as seasoned players do not get bothered about most of these bugs, but for newbies fixing of these is a must. So, the task for us it to look for bugs that should be fixed in order to allow newbie friendly introduction to DF 2010.

We don't need to wait for everything fixed right away. We could keep a list with explanations of all of these bugs and any work-arounds for Newbs to read up on --[[User:LucasUP|LucasUP]] 12:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

*Parties never ending
