README

        
= Dwarf Fortress Nix

This is copied from https://github.com/Olical/nixpkgs[my fork of the nixpkgs repository]. I can't get it working perfectly well with the newest versions of DF so I've decided to maintain a mostly working and up to date version in my own stand alone repo until it's stable and ready for a PR.

== Caveats

 * When running through `dfhack` (as you probably should) the game doesn't fully quit when you try to close it.

 ** Use `die` in `dfhack` to close the game properly and quickly.

 * If you try to use sound the game won't launch or possibly even segfault.

 ** Configure the game to not use sound at all at install.

== Installation

I install it through https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager[home-manager] using the following:

[source,nix]

----

{ pkgs, ... }:

let

  df-pkg = pkgs.callPackage (import (fetchTarball https://github.com/Olical/dwarf-fortress-nix/archive/main.tar.gz)) {};

  dwarf-fortress = (df-pkg.dwarf-fortress-full.override {

    dfVersion = "0.47.05";

    enableIntro = false;

    enableSound = false;

    enableFPS = true;

  });

in

{

  home.packages = with pkgs; [

    dwarf-fortress

  ];

}

----

I may be depending on this repo in a weird way, so if there's a better approach please let me know!
