NET 3.5, and for several years this meant that the LNP was only available for Windows systems. The original launcher was built with Visual Basic and. It became the key component of the pack, which allows easy configuration of the DF installation, choose graphics packs, launching of utilities, and provided one click toggling of settings instead of editing configuration files by hand. On DecemLucasUP released the first version of the Lazy Newb Pack that contained the graphical interface launcher that is well known today. They included the utilities DFHack, Dwarf Foreman, Dwarf Therapist, PerfectWorldDF, Quickfort, Runesmith, Stonesense. The first versions of the LNP included a text-based interface (seen on the right) that only permitted the user to enable/disable aquifers and choose from the Phoebus, Mayday, and Ironhand graphics packs. The LNP distinguished itself by providing an interface for changing common DF settings, instead of editing the raw text files included with the game. Other notable packs from this era are Phoebus graphics and Mayday's Graphic Set.

#DWARF FORTRESS TILESET INSTALL MODS#

Before the LNP, it was becoming common for the community to bundle up their own distributions of Dwarf Fortress with tile sets, graphics, and mods to make them more accessible to players. The first pack with the name Lazy Newb Pack (LNP) was created by LucasUP for Windows and DF version 0.31.12 and posted in the bay12forums on June 11, 2010. It may however be interesting to look back at how the LNP/Starter Pack movement evolved. This section is provided for information, and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for these packs. Eventually, someone new steps up and releases their own pack.

This pack is maintained by PeridexisErrant, and aims to include everything - while ensuring that ignoring any option still works for new players. Windows: PeridexisErrant's DF Starter Pack There are several packs available for different platforms, with different maintainers and release schedules. Of course there are a few personal touches too, but the vast majority of each is thanks to others - and not least Tarn and Zach for Dwarf Fortress itself. It is also important to note that most of the contents of each pack were created by many members of the community and just collected, configured, and redistributed by the maintainer of each pack. Most include just about everything that still works and could be useful. The packages are built around the idea that newbies will likely have more difficulty with the game than with a package of utilities - which often make the game easier - and that there are many players who are not new but would still prefer an option to get all the extras in one place with a minimum of fiddling. In general, it's safe to simply ignore any option you don't understand and trust that the default settings will be okay.
