Suggestions

Use <br> on the lines with multiple fields, such as the color settings, if you want it to look like the actual text file does.

A good practice is simply to put that break tag on the end of every line of the formatted text. --Edward 20:01, 27 December 2007 (EST)

 Ok did that. Thanks. Jikor

Mouse Setting

I'm one who prefers not to have the mouse involved in gameplay, yet I find that using NO or FALSE for the mouse setting still allows mouse use for designating tiles.
While this is useful for allowing mouse-based macros for room designs (as opposed to keyboard-based of course) it is still a thorn in my side.
I'm looking for confirmation/refutation of this, and any discovered fix to make it truly [MOUSE:NO].

I've experienced this as well in v0.27.176.38c. I did not notice any change after using YES, NO, and FALSE. Elvang 23:21, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

Article for Deletion?

Do we need this page? What is the purpose of it? --Savok 00:11, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

I suppose its more of a reference for those who screw up or need to revert their init.txt file without redownloading the game. Elvang 01:32, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

Re-organize?

This may just be me, but I find that having the preference before the text explaining it helps to make this page more understandable. For instance,

[SOUND:ON]
Change this to turn sound off.

is much more readable than

Change this to turn sound off.
[SOUND:ON]

Pop cap minimum?

Is it just me, or is the minimum population count ten? I set it for seven (wanting an isolationist settlement), and I wound up with ten dwarves, but no more come despite me now having plenty of cash to attract them, and only one death (three years ago). --Erathoniel 22:00, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Quite possibly. It is known that popcap settings go wonky if you set them too low. --Savok 10:23, 27 November 2008 (EST)
