No more auto pause?
« on: December 01, 2011, 06:53:43 pm »

Is there any way I can turn off auto pause, like for when I hit damp stone and stuff like that??

Yes. I forget how though, if someone else doesn't show up imminently with the answer, just dig around in the init files until you find it.

find and replace :P and nothing will pause

I think DFHack has a feature these days that will force the game to unpause each time it does pause if you're looking to leave DF on overnight or something.

DFHack does have such a feature -- it's called "nopause" and I can confirm that it is crazy awesome.  Personally I use "nopause" when I'm intentionally digging out a large area of Damp or Warm Stone, which normally is a huge waste of time an exercise in frustration as the game pauses and cancels your dig every time.  Using "nopause" makes doing this SO much easier!
