Alright! I was the one that did the Mayday port and I can safely say that the maydaymix fix does not really work (in my testing anyway). The simplest way to fix it is to generate a world, it'll drop the tiles, exit and re-enter. You'll never have problems again. I should note that means my original version worked when I said it was glitched, but I was half-right: the binary probably does have errors. --[[User:Cr9|Cr9]] 01:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:I followed exactly the steps listed on this page, then I genned a new world, and it worked fine. Also, Thanks! :) [[User:Mason11987|Mason]] ([[User talk:Mason11987|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Mason11987|C]]) 01:30, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::Someone please confirm my suspicion - unlike previous "all in one" distros, this requires you do d/l "vanilla DF2010" then d/l Mayday tileset?[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 09:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::nevermind, it seems 7-zip is just better compression than what Toady used. for the non-enlightened, just d/l the Mayday file.[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 10:13, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::That's actually a good point -- not everyone has or knows what 7Z files are. I've added a ZIP release and a link to the FOSS program 7zip to alleviate those issues. --[[User:Cr9|Cr9]] 11:56, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, most creatures (the ones with graphics set up maybe?) show up as blank black spaces in my version. What am I doing wrong?
:Redownload. For about twenty seconds I had uploaded a broken version and during those twenty seconds 24 people downloaded it. --[[User:Cr9|Cr9]] 05:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't the obsolete version and associated info be removed? Who rated this ELVEN? It features a dead link and misleading/outdated info!--[[User:Smd|Smd]] 07:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

*who rates those articles?
**I have been. If I shouldn't be, someone say so now. Also, should ~100% of content articles be rated? --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 18:42, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
***As there isn't much of a vandalism thing going on here, I think it should be the original author of the article who rates it, with some admin verification following--[[User:Smd|Smd]] 15:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

You will need an archive extraction program capable of opening .7z files to use this release, such as 7zip[http://www.7-zip.org/]. For the simpler ZIP-compressed version, use http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bijnommtacf

*To change resolution, go to '''your_df_directory\data\init\init.txt''' and find this fragment:
<pre>
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:horizontal]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:vertical]
</pre>
*Change it to the resolution you want (no less than 1280x400)
*Then go to
<pre>[GRID:X:Y]</pre>
*Change it so x is your horizontal resolution divided by 16 and Y is your vertical resolution divided by 16.
*Please note that the minimum horizontal resolution is 1280 pixels - GRID:80, it does work with a lower setting, but you can experience distorted graphics and a lower framerate
*If the tileset drops letters, exit and re-enter Dwarf Fortress. As close as can be determined it is a bug and will probably be fixed. It will drop letters after generating a world, but not during a game, so it will not greatly inconvenience the player.

SUGGESTION : If you are experiencing severe lag spikes on this version, try setting Partial Print to YES - it appears to have fixed the issue for some players. It may cause flickering on some systems.
