DF-21 Forums

Its silly to even want to be fair after so much time has passed, but I'm going to try. It was only a few slip-ups with the mystery switches that stopped this being a 5-star map. The setting was new an ...

Its too easy to be critical of old custom maps. I'm looking back with a decades hindsight at amateur efforts by one guy. I've criticised at least one map that got an early 5-star review before things ...

I tried to install by placing the .bat file insid ...

I don't have any problem getting the game to run as the Steam version doesn't require a CD. The problem is that the .bat file that installs the D ...

Sorry, I forgot to mention outside the title that I have the Steam version. Steam is a legal games downloading service by Valve software. I the Steam DF runs on a modified dosbox and altered .exe file ...
