Bay 12 Games Forum

This topic has been moved to Mod Releases.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=174993.0

What is this?

This is a mod whose purpose is to convert to DF the many, many monsters present in, and made famous by, Dungeons & Dragons. The objective of this mod is to be as compatible as possible with every single other mod out there, and the only way conflicts can arise is if another mod completely deletes vanilla DF objects like body parts or metals.

The mod currently features:
98 Creatures
21 Megabeasts/Semimegabeasts
20 Civilizations
2 Metals
1 Armor
40 Weapons
8 Ammo Types
1 Plant

For more detailed descriptions of each and every piece of content, there is a "content descriptions" folder containing more info on them included in the pack.

Be warned that while I did my best to balance all content, these additions WILL make your world more dangerous.

How to install the mod

First, download the one of the versions of the pack from the link below, then extract the file (you may need a program like WinRAR or 7zip if you don't have either already). Once that is done, open the Monstrous Manual folder and copy the contents over to your main DF folder, and you're done. IMPORTANT: You will need to generate a new world to see any of the content, this will not affect pre-existing saves.

Regular Version
No Civilizations Version

What's the difference between the threeversions of the mod?

As the name of one of them implies, one adds civilizations while the other does not. However, the creatures that make up that civilization are still present in the files and, as such, can be played as adventurers. A few creatures are also present as roaming creatures (such as the Azer), meaning you could still see them during play. The WIP version is, as the name implies, very work in progress and might be buggy. However, it will allow people to get whatever is the latest thing I've added without waiting for a new proper version.

Packaging any of this content with other mods

I hereby give my full permission for any of the content included in this pack to be used and/or packaged into any other mod as long as I am credited for it. I reserve the right to rescind this permission for any reason.

While in the past I've mainly created total conversion mods, this time I decided to go for something different: a pack of content that is compatible with nearly every single other mod out there.

So what's in this pack anyway?

Creatures, minerals, entities and secrets from both Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer Fantasy, with more to come. Look at the latest changelog for the specifics. Or click here for quick descriptions of the content (currently incomplete).

Compatibility, you say?

Yes, I've taken care to ensure nothing added in this pack will conflict with any other mod unless that mod removes vanilla DF things like body parts or material templates.

How to install this

First, download the pack from the link below, then extract the file (you may need a program like WinRAR or 7zip if you don't have either already). Once that is done, open the "Teneb's Miscmods" folder and copy the contents over to your main DF folder, and you're done. IMPORTANT: You will need to generate a new world to see any of the content, this will not affect pre-existing saves.

I hereby give my full permission for any of the content included in this pack to be used and/or packaged into any other mod as long as I am credited for it and a link to this thread is provided.

Modding questions go here.

Please keep it civil like all the previous ones and remember that this is not a mod propaganda thread.

King Teneb was crowned fast, lived fast, and probably died fast. You are unsure about that last one, since he was found dead not too long ago. He'd also been absent for quite a while, and seems to have been trying to get back. The tradition was clear in this regard: if the killer managed to evade justice, they'd become the new monarch.

Welcome to King of the Mafia, your chance to win the fabulous crown of this subforum!  The rules are below.  They were originally written by Dakarian and have been edited by webadict and me (my edits are in italics).

Quote from: dakarian on December 08, 2009, 10:59:30 am

You think you've proven yourself, child?  "Oh my, I won as town!"  Meh, that's easy with a whole army at your back and power roles you can abuse.   "But I've beaten the town as Mafia!"  PHAH!  With friends and a horribly weak town.

But can you do both?  Can you take down the mafia with 6 others, then turn around as mafia and BEAT those 6 to a pulp?  Can you pick just the perfect role-braving additions caused by an evil mod-that will not only help you as town but also as scum?  Can you fight off endless waves of people, including those you've killed? 

Well then step on the hill and see if you have what it takes to be King of the Mafia.

Spoiler: Basic Rules:  READ! (click to show/hide)

PMing is NOT allowed.
Quoting the Mod is NEVER ALLOWED.
48 hour days, 24 hour nights.  Weekends do not count.  Hammers end the Day.
Read the specialized rules when it comes to inactives.

Specialized Rules:

Inning is not required to sign up.  To sign up read only the first two pages of Xylbot's role list and choose ONE role from there (and PM it to me).  You will then be assigned with that role, with a possibility of additional features based on balance or tomfoolery(though nothing hidden).

Spoiler: Largish rules for choosing a role (click to show/hide)

Evolve, Doublekill/kill2, Possess, Apocalypse, and Prime skills do NOT work.  Recruit may work in some cases but will never change a player's alignment.  In the case of abilities that target dead players you will only be allowed to target those who died in the current round.

KING MAFIA is naturally considered a Mafia.  Only roles that change how you appear will override this.  Yes, that means Serial Killer (Mafia).  All others are naturally Town.  However, no role can hide whether or not you were KING MAFIA - eg a KING MAFIA Ninja would flip "townie (town) and KING MAFIA".

Mason does not work though Neighbor does.  Mason works, but mason players can roll KING MAFIA.  A Recruiting Mason dies if they attempt to recruit the KING MAFIA, but any recruited mason (including the leader!) can become the KING MAFIA in future rounds.

Although several 'rounds' can be played, this is consider one long game.  Thus 'one-shot' and 'once per game' does not reload between rounds.

You cannot choose your BUDDY.  In addition, if your buddy dies and rejoins the game in a later round they will no longer be your BUDDY.

Try not to play 'break the system' with a role.  If it attempts to bypass the win condition (i.e. Jester or Judus) you won't like the attachments.   These roles are ok, but they will not change your win condition away from town or KING MAFIA - eg being lynched as a Jester would not cause you to win, and being lynched as Judas would just cause you to come back to life.  I pity the child who picks Unlynchable.

Be careful with picking roles that have been chosen recently.

You cannot pick 'Cult-type', 'Secret', 'Psychotic', 'Amnesiac', or 'Mystery' roles. 

The vote count will read properly.  Nonvoters will simply not be able to vote.  Double voters will need to vote twice in the same post.

If a mafia Lich dies, a new round starts, though the BUDDY does turn into a Lich (but not necessarily Mafia). 

Brainwasher WILL switch who the mafia is but will restart the round.  Possesser will work in the same way if you are KING MAFIA, and will have no effect on alignment if you are not.

Batman cannot be picked, but the Bruce Wayne role works.  For the record Batman is a role with Kill, Roleblock, Inspect and Protect.

Very powerful roles are likely to receive debuffing abilities (see list below).  Cool and interesting roles probably will not.

Current Nerf List:
Paranoid Gun Owner
Psychopath
Chuck Norris
Devil's Advocate
Unlynchable/ Sleeper Unlynchable
Jackie Chan
Commando
Recurring Nightmare
Anarchist
Mirror
Cyborg

Notes on roles: You can only use one day action per day.  (x) abilities are one-shot and can be used in either the day or the night.

Once 7 people have signed up, the game begins.  A random person will be picked as KING MAFIA and will be given, on top of their role, the Mafiakill.  The First Round ONLY will start with a kill-less Night (that is all killing abilities will be disabled).

From there, the game continues.  During the game, anyone else can Sign up to be put on a queue. Game will play like a standard mafia game.  If you die at any time, you may Sign up again, though others who haven't played that round will have priority.

If King Mafia is killed at any time, the round ends.  Those in queue will take the place of those that died to refill the ranks back to 7 (those still alive remain), a new KING MAFIA will be picked, and the game will start on the next phase (Old round ends in Day, new round starts at Night...)

Play continues until KING MAFIA succeeds in being the ONLY one alive.  Note that all players being dead does not fulfill the KING MAFIA win condition - in that case a new round would begin with 7 new players.

There is an antilurk system in place.  Each RL day, you MUST have either voted (even if its for the same person) or sent in an action.  Fail once and you get one prod.  Fail twice in the same round and you will be killed, a player in Queue will automatically Sub in for you, and you will not be able to rejoin.  Ever.

All may join this game, though be aware of the antilurk system.  Please read this line Dariush.

*Toony Edit on No-Lynch policy*
Players may choose to no-lynch two days in a row. Otherwise a lynch must be made. If players force a tie then the lynch target will be randomly decided between the lynch candidates. If there are only two players left the compulsory lynch rule is not enforced, instead a stalemate results in a mafia loss.

You're done with the rules.  Now join and claim the mountain!

Addendums

All times will be in BRT. BRT is GMT-3.

Extends require 50% of players voting for them in bold.  There are no shortens.  If you're done, remember that hammers are on.

If for some reason I fail to end the day on time, it keeps going until I can end it.

Waitlist (0/7):

Insert fancy picture with features here.

Okay, so: about a month and half ago, I approached Meph with my intent to make a race for Masterwork. Unlike my ill-fated attempt to make Goblins for Old!Masterwork, I had no intention of abandoning this project. Most of the time since was spent on design, when not being sidetracked by Real Life stuff or fixing stuff in the Warhammer mod. You may have also noted that there haven't been elves in the "next playable race" polls Meph does for a few releases.

So how do they look right now? Pretty bare, but also completely playable and different enough that I am making this and have already sent stuff to Meph to judge. But you came here for the features, so:

• No woodcutting or wood burning.
• Grow wood from seeds.
• Infuse wood with ores (copper, iron, platinum, warpstone).
• Wood equipment.
• A workshop that changes based on the current season.
• Season-based treants and wood.
• At peace with wildlife.
• Fabulous unicorns.
• Glorious tree-hugging 1960s hippie style.

Alternate Title: Nchardahrk: New Coke.

Name is a homage to this text

This mod's objective will be to provide a total conversion of Dwarf Fortress using content based on Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls. This is not DF's first TES mod, and likely won't be the last. The first was Deon's Dwemer Fortress, which, after becoming outdated, was succeeded by my own Nchardahrk. Unfortunately, Nchardahrk was my first mod and as such it was a mess of bugs and half-implemented ideas. Putnam's help was invaluable in fixing the first, though the second remained.

As such, instead of simply updating the raws, I'm remaking the mod from scratch under a different name. My Warhammer Fantasy mod has given me a lot more experience both with editing raws, dealing with bugs, and using DFHack.

In a radical departure from both previous mods, Deon's and mine, Dwemer shall not be playable. In fact, they shall not even be an entity. Rather, their constructs and specters will litter the underground, providing danger to those who explore the depths. Their ruins shall appear as "veins", with their own hazards for those who wish to excavate them.

The players will be able to control entities of the races playable in the games from which this mod is based: Imperials, Bretons, Nords, Redguards, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Orcs, Khajiit, and Argonians. All others shall feature as unplayable, to both attack and trade with. Unlike the Warhammer Mod, I do not plan to release one at a time: instead it will be all in one go. The mod will also feature an excessive number of creatures, as I am wont to include in any mod I make.

As for how long this will take to make, I truly do not know.

Alternative titles: The OTHER Ameripol Thread; The South of the Border Wall Politics Thread; Everyone Forgets About This Thread
Anyway, before anything else the rules:
-Don't break forum rules.
-Don't attempt to start flame wars.
-Don't do personal attacks.
-Don't condone atrocities.
-Snip quote pyramids since the forum tends to act up when big ones are created. Also we're not Aztecs, come on.
-Try to keep the discussion about politics.
-Goofing around, as long as it doesn't cross over to being offensive, is ok.
-America is a continent.

Links to other polithreads: Glorious DPRK, USA, Middle East, East Europe, European Union, East Asia, Australia and more Asia.

Discussing historical events is ok, as are current ones. If things start to heat up, I WILL lock the thread for a while until everyone becomes chill again. Please, let's not get the thread locked like the various Europol threads of yore. Ideological derails are also OK as long as people remain civil.

There was some massive wall here but fuck it nobody read it anyway. LAmerica best America.
