Hey guys,

As always, a new Friday, a new release.

This week I added two new options to the GUI, you can either reduce all toys to a standardized "toy" item or add almost 100 new toys for more flavour.

Spoiler: New toys (click to show/hide)

The two other additions are for the birthday of Jason, one of the Patrons that support the mod. He requested the Antikythera mechanism and asked if its possible to do pipeweed, pipes, smoking, that sort of thing.

Spoiler: So, here we go! Happy belated Birthday Jason. :) (click to show/hide)

The antikythera mechanism is a 2200 year old greek calender/computer, which can now control the timeflow in dwarf mode.

There are two types of pipeweed, sweet galena and deep galena, one is a surface plant you can buy from humans or elves, the other an underground plant used by dwarves.

You process the pipeweed and create pipeweed leaves in bags; make a wooden pipe in the craftsdwarf; and then you smoke it. Dwarves take a break in either kitchen or still to enjoy their smoke. It gives them a positive thought.

Please post suggestions and give me feedback, it really helps with the mod. Thank you!

Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/meph): It's possible to support the mod with a monthly donation; Patrons can request nicknames for engravings, custom items and mod features as rewards. This week 4 more Patrons joined; adding $12 to the pot. :)

Cheers,
Meph

PS: This is a smaller update but I have not been idle. I talked with other authors of major mods about a possible "Previews" tab in the GUI. It would add small parts of massive mods or total conversions with background info and link to their thread and authors. That way people can install them quickly, have a look, and if they like the content, download and play the mods proper.

Masterwork has the majority of mod users, I thought this would be a nice idea to give exposure to the other large mods, hopefully motivating more people to try them out. :)

PPS: I also fixed create-unit, which means succubus summoning; hermit mode and everything else that spawns units works again.

Something about the smoking being done in the kitchen and still bothers me, it feels like it's the wrong place. Some kind of opium den room or hookah building might be more fitting in my opinion.

I thought about a new room, but I didnt want to add one just for something this minor. I'm thinking about a few more reactions that influence toughts, like relaxing, reading, drinking fancy wines/beers, that sort of thing. A lounge, so to speak.

Dirst just told me about a typo in create-unit, I upload a hotfix. Otherwise hermit mode and a lot of succubus stuff doesnt work.

It had this:
Quote
local hf = df.global.history.figures.all[u.hist_figure_id]
instead of
Quote
local hf = df.global.world.history.figures.all[u.hist_figure_id]

There is a variant of create-unit called create-unit-friendly that should also be updated.  I think the latter one is unique to Masterwork?  The same typo is there as well.

Wow!  This update really speeds up box selection for construction!  I was quite surprised to see my perimeter wall designation appear almost instantly.  If you've been avoiding box selection because it's so slow, give it another chance.

?
In previous versions, using the box selection mode for designating construction provided by DFHack would take huge amounts of time when designating a construction larger than 10x10.  It was so bad I've fallen into the habit of only using the box selection mode for a huge perimeter wall, and I'd plan to take a break while it designated the construction.  This time it didn't even take 2 seconds to designate an 80x60 wall.  I assume a DFHack update or some miscellaneous lua script cleanup has improved the process time.

I don't really think it's minor - it can be quite a feature in itself. That lounge is a good idea too.

Generally speaking how are people going about updating their client? I've been downloading a new one and resetting the options manually.

Thats how it works. I'm not smart enough to add an auto-update functionality. Sorry, I just mod raws. ;)

This is how I do it.  I typically screw up my install a couple times a week so I just keep a clean copy of the .zip around and start from scratch when I've managed to populate my errorlog.txt.  Preserving options across installs is of limited value because the available options are always changing from version to version anyway, plus often times if you're reinstalling to regain functionality or stability your options are the source of the problem anyway so starting from defaults and editing from there is a good policy.

This is my latest, it's pretty representative of my standard errorlog.txt.  milk of lime, quicklime, parchment and peat are the usual suspects.  Again, note that I'm playing on Linux via wine, so some of these may be unique errors related to cross-platform differences or errors in the implementation of various windows features in wine.

No, they are helpful. These three missing inorganics are part of inorganic_other.txt, which is unique to each tileset. I added the new entries to the default tileset, but not to the ones for other tileset.

My assumption: You are not playing with the default tileset.

Indeed.  In Masterwork I use Mayday w/Phoebus colors and Dungeon text through TWBT.  My favorite tileset for vanilla is Gemset, though, and I'd be most excited to see it included in Masterwork.

Gemset is amazing, but I have two issues with it:
1. it heavily uses twbt and I'd need to teach my GUI to also copy/merge override files.
2. it has creature sprites for all vanilla creatures, but for none of the mod creature. This will make those stand out like a sore thumb, since they still use their normal sprites.

Hm.  That's a bummer.  I guess even using a normal 16 px tile from another quality set would look pretty awful next to the 24 px gemset tiles.  My pixel art doesn't really qualify as such or I'd volunteer to make a supplemental tileset.

Keep in mind that the original timestream code was written before DF2014's world activation.  I'm not sure how it interacts with stuff like wandering armies and visitors.  Watch out for bugs.

Thank you for the head-up.

I also looked into porting the warlocks, but its even more  :'( :'( :'( because IMMOBILE creatures no longer use interactions. That means no soul wisps, monoliths that resurrect the dead, pylon system, standards, none of the "pasture thing here and it does AOE effect".

Same holds true for dwarven landmines and turrets btw, which is why there are none in the new mod.

Would it be possible to just make them really, really slow so they're effectively immobile?

On another note, something is a little buggy with my onLoad.init file. I have pretty much all the mods enabled except those that add equipment or vermin. The last few lines of the file are as follows, make note of the last partial line:

I'm aware of those. The GUI sometimes copies fragments of the last line again, its harmless. It just throws one error message at the dfhack startup, thats it.

If you're looking to rebuild the warlocks, might I suggest taking a look at my soulshuffle script?  It would be right up their alley and is EXTREMELY flexible.  Uh, assuming it still works, that is.
As I discovered later, constructing creatures using reagent materials doesn't actually work the way I thought it did, but everything else should function.

It depends on what tileset you're using.  If you want to see what's going on with a particular dwarf flashing a status, loo(k) at the dwarf flashing the status to learn his/her name, then browse the (u)nit menu and see what job that dwarf is doing.  Usually it'll be something like drinking, eating, or sleeping, but more rarely it's something like partying (which you might stop by removing the designation of the meeting hall in which they're partying) or an injury (make sure someone has doctoring labors enabled.)

Nope.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Status_icon (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Status_icon)

? is always No Job/Destination, its when the dwarf tries to do something, but has to cancel because something is missing. For example he wants to work in workshop X, but that one was just razed by a buildingdestroyer.

Its the same across all tilesets.

The sprites in The Earth Strikes Back are 32x32.  And ugly, because most are scaled-down versions of 128x128 Stonesense sprites that were already ugly at that size.  They aren't going to look any better or worse based on the player's tileset :)

It may be that you're using a different colorset than you have in the past, and the same blue ? you've always seen is now appearing green to you?  Or have you changed displays or your display settings?

If you can pause it while the green ? is up you can always go to the unit list and see what that dwarf is up to.  That might narrow it down at least.

I got a report on Reddit for this version that said that a CTD happened just after The-Earth-Strikes-Back spawned a unit... so... maybe? I dont know why it would crash, neither does Dirst. I hope the next update will fix it for good, he send me another version of create-unit with more stuff for history of units.

I really cant say.

I have not, but once my initial turn in Braveworks is taken care of, I wouldn't mind to play them for the story fort.

I did want to play the legacy version, but I just never got around to it more than once (which ended in disaster because I neglected this silly thing called water... A first for me really, but a hot biome with no river? Not a good combo.)

And funny you should mention them, I'm starting to chip away at my kingdom humies thing. Do the MW humans still have that cave adaptation mechanic?
