Bay 12 Games Forum

I have seen that´s it´s a military tweak since I installed this package, military training goes extreamly fast. I just did get 2 legendary+3 axelords from just 1 year of training (sparring). Think that am some time to fast, more of a test to make the weapons and armor than get the training and that seems wrong in my playstyle.

How do I make dfhack tweak military less? I have no Idea of how to do it by myself.
And thanks for the package, got me back after some months paus. waiting for df 2014 now..

All DFhack does is fix a bug that causes large squads to spar less (anything over 3 men to a squad causes this issue), so you're basically playing the unbugged version of how squads are supposed to train.

After using Jolly Bastion 9x12 for a bit, I want to say my only complaint is that soil looks too 'rough'? Could you make it look softer?

If you grab the updated lazy newb pack, this comes pre-set as one of the options, and you just have to choose it in the graphics menu.

Just grabbed the newest LNP with Jolly Bastion but all the walls are letters, pretty sure this is not intended.

Thats not an issue of this pack, but of the LNP. you should report it there, its a simple matter of inorganics having the wrong tile number. You probably updated the data/art files without updating the save/region/raw/object files, which is why they are not in sync. If you just pushed buttons on the LNP, then it needs to be updated to fix that.

Well yeah, that's kind of why I was replying specifically to the LNP author ... but I can go post it in his thread.

Now that you have a release people can play, you might want to move this shindig to the mod release subforum. 

Glasskin look pretty sweet, btw. I would have imagined them as moving glass containers with organs and fluid just floating around in them, this is much cooler.

My bad, I'll do that soon.

Glad you like it.

That's true.  I'm going to play this mod a little later, bugchecking and whatnot.  This mod, while small, is pretty interesting.

Well it's good to know someone is interested, I was inspired to make it when I started learning how to play adventure mode for the first time and experienced the combat. Fortress mode is so abstracted and you have to micro everything that you don't really connect with just how complex some parts of the game can be. Adventure mode opened my eyes to what's possible and I immediately thought of making playable races with unique bodies, I'll probably make some others as the ideas come to me. This was both a learning experience and something I personally wanted to play as, and that's typically a good reason to make a mod in the first place if I had to say.

It's too bad that documentation is so obscure and hard to come by, it's really hard to know how to achieve certain desired effects without a lot of playtesting. I did my best and I guess I'm somewhat impatient so the first versions of glasskin were a bit too durable. Eventually I'll nail the feeling of 'being made of glass' and I'll feel satisfied. I'm still toying with unique features the race could have, the 'sandgas' defense mechanism was one such attempt. I'm still debating on whether or not the glasskin should have it and whether or not it makes much of a difference.

Anyways, it's great how modular DF can be. I look forward to modding it more.

Version 00.00.04 is out, tweaking glasskin to be regenerate more slowly and feel more pain

-Nerf'd the regeneration for glass-bones (now 2x slower than a humans bones, was 3x faster)

-Glass-skin will heal slower too (now 3x slower than normal)

-Increased pain receptors for sandgas a little

-Should feel much more dangerous to have a bone break now

-Changed where glasskin will migrate to during world generation (now they should avoid caves/tree cities)

Well, they actually seem to be harder to kill than the average person.  I would whale on one for quite some time with a fairly high level striker glasskin and it just... wouldn't... die.

Were the bones being broken? That's sort of the trick one could say.

Alright version 00.00.03 fixes the bleed problem, set temperatures incorrectly causing their own send to melt them to death.
