Corruption

I recommend posting at least a short description of each material/animal/civ/whatever, so people will have some inkling of what they're downloading, and have greater incentive to do so once they hear about corrupts ;)

Also, posting to watch.

I just realized that I left in some reactions unrelated to Corruption.  This has now been corrected, but it shouldn't have been a major problem for those who downloaded it already.

Are any of the new races playable in fortress mode?
If so I may start a felisian fortress.

feels like I should make a race of creatures with paper skin and glass bones. every morning, they tear their skin getting up. every night, they break their legs laying down. tragic.

They're not playable, though I may change that at some point.  It's a simple case of adding [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] to their entity raws, but they'd be missing several of the reactions and things, and there would be other problems too.

I tried to make a fortress, but DF kept crashing upon embark.  I'm pretty sure it has to do with some of the custom creatures I put in not being compatible with Wanderer's Friend or something.  I'm going to keep working on it, and I'll put up a new version as soon as I get this issue resolved.

EDIT:  Yep, it was the thunderchus.  I used a custom body plan for them, and forgot to put that body plan anywhere in the mod.  There are a few other issues that I have to fix, so the next update will be up later today, once I have the time to thoroughly test it.

EDIT2:  v0.03 is up.
