Hey!  Just popping in to say I love playing this mod, it's great fun.

The fish show up as normal names if I look at them any other way than the stocks screen, ie. when a dwarf is hauling it or processing one at the fishery.  However, I am rather sure my dwarves are not fishing red dragons and cougars out of the river.   

If this is a known issue/just my game, just ignore this lol.

I believe it's listing everything on the map as yours... including meat and so on from subterranian populations etc. below you.  This usually happens when you have breached a cavern system.  If you hit TAB (I think that's the key) to expand your lists, you'll probably notice that the unusual meat etc. shows up as Forbidden.  In any case, this is caused by DF itself.

Nope.  The subterranean people have meat, and I can see that.  Besides, there's no such thing as jaguar and red dragon fish even in this mod.  That's the fish screen. XD  It's the names for the fish I have, somehow, since I know I have mussels and shad by now, but they're not showing up in my stocks screen...I think the cave fish are being named dragonflies.

If you press tab while on the stocks screen, then your fish will show up as having the correct name.  I don't get it either.  In an unrelated question, why are void master illithids so durable?  It's really noticeable in adventure mode when you can actually pass out without armor in combat and wake up to win.  My void master adventurer must have like, 3 pages of scars.

Void masters are basically tanks. They are so big they cant even wear armor.

Maybe we should have a letter campaign to Toady to make smears disappear in a week (instead of many months).

fantastic idea, this needs to be solved ASAP

Edit: bah, it was already mentioned in http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Maximizing_framerate

yeah, i was spreading the word. this seems to be THE main source of lag, and it wasn't even mentioned in the wiki

are aspid dwarves supposed to blow up in a huge ball of fire whenever they fight?  Because mine is....  Everytime he bites something, it blows up and catches fire, and when he gets cut he blows up and catches fire.

[Yoink]

Wow... Deon, I must admit when I first looked at Genesis, I thought, 'Ugh, this looks silly', especially since I was using the tileset, which I personally didn't like.
Anyway, I decided to try again, with the ASCII, and made a Nord.
You've won me over already, as soon as I started... Why? You gave me a seax!
Now I just need to find me a byrnja...

They are doom dwarves now, and yeah it's supposed to be like that until I fix some materials. I just liked the idea. It's their bite which melts and explodes things, so it's not that often.

Can you tell me what a byrnja is? I couldn't google it.

[Yoink]

D'oh, typo. I meant brynja, it's just a mail shirt.
I did manage to find a steel mail shirt, before that adventurer copped a headshot from an arrow...

Hey Deon!

So I really want to get into playing this mod here. Unfortunately, I have a Mac.

Now, I know it's a lot to complain about playing this since I was silly enough to get a Mac (though I love it  )

But I have the basic jist of it down. Use the mac version of DF 3.18 so I can load up the game, etc. etc. However, when I load it up, quite simply it doesn't work. I believe it's due to the resolution settings of the Ironhand_text.txt file, or something called that.

Now, my question is. I can actually GET the game to run perfectly if I use my favorite tileset Phoebus.png. However, if I use that then the creature sprites simply won't work/they change to Phoebus' which means ALL of your races sprites are wacky since Phoebus obviously doesn't have those graphics. Do you know how I could get the game to run with the Phoebus tileset, yet also use Ironhand's *graphics sprites* for the game/assign those sprites to Phoebus? Either that, or maybe find a solution to fix the Ironhand resolution issue with a mac at all!

Sorry if I totally screwed up this explanation, and hopefully it makes sense. This mod is damn awesome though, I gave it a test run and it's really neat with the different races! Thanks Deon!

[Deon]

You should be able to run this on Mac, just use the correct settings in your init.txt (you said something about resolution? It's there). I will try to look into it, but you'd better ask someone with mac who has experience in DF modding .

[Mitchman]

Here's the error I get when I try to get in using the default pack. I have the game *running* but then it stops working. And I know the mac version works when I switch ALL the way to Phoebus. because the resolution is good. Check this out.

New window size: 1280x800

My guess is that the game can't *fit* in my computer's resolution. but if I set all the resolution settings to 0 in Init.txt folder and maximise the screen the Game just... fails at displaying junk, lots of black space, hardly any screen. I'm still going to play around with it, but I would like to use my Phoebus tileset (I kinda love how the water displays in Phoebus, much much better) and ALSO use the graphics that comes with this pack. Because if I use the Phoebus tileset, set the graphics to it which uses the perfect resolution for my computer it works! the game works! But obviously, the sprites aren't right. only the tiles.

Thanks for all the trouble Deon, if I can get this to work then many celebrations will be had.

[Mitchman]

Update: I can get the whole game to display correctly using the default tileset. Now my biggest problem really is that when I target something/look/attack/talk the options subwindow shows on the *top* and not on the bottom, effectively being blocked by the compass. Is there any way to solve this? Once I can do this I'll be perfect!

Alright, I think my computer screen is just too small for an 18x18 format...

I find it on top, but it obscures the compass rather than the other way around.  It's ugly, but usable.

In regards to the deprecation warning about NSQuickDrawView, this is just a heads up that the current builds of DF are using an old display technology which may not be supported in future versions of OSX.  It's unrelated to the mod and does not indicate a problem with your settings.

By the way, if you love your computer, it wasn't a silly choice.

Yeah, most illithids cannot wear armor, if any at all (Maybe the gith?).  Neither can any Serpentfolk that I know of (perhaps lizardmen can wear torso-and-up?  I haven't tried), or Bile demons and the vampiress from Demons.  Or any werewolves.

Basically, think, "Can it rip me apart with its bare hands/tentacles/claws/teeth?"  If the answer is yes, then no armor, only shields, for them.

[EddyP]

Just a quick heads up - over many versions of Genesis, across many forts, I've never seen a single werewolf.
