DF Modding / MLF:FiM - a retro request
« on: May 17, 2019, 01:05:15 pm »
So I really like Valkidu's My Little Fortress: Friendship is Magma 2.4 (http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7264). Yes, I've tried the later versions. They aren't the same. Nobody invades or ambushes, ever. No Unity, no Crows, no diomedian ponies, no chimera ponies, nothing. Even when I play as the diomedians or other traditionally unpopular factions, nobody shows up to siege. And I never really took to the new mechanic where rainbow works like clay-- I always liked making rainbow clothes for everyone.
In fact, I'd say MLF:FiM is my favorite version of DF, period. I've definitely played more of it than any other version. There's just one problem: it crashes a lot. A LOT. Usually when butchering:
-lesser ponies
-zebras
-underground ponies with fur (rodent ponies and batponies seem to be the worst)
-occasional other ponies
-minotaurs (just the head, and just when it's fresh-- if the head isn't fresh, it doesn't crash, but they just keep butchering it over and over and getting it back.)
-star-touched abominations, on the rare occasions when they show up
Which makes it very frustrating to play.
I've taken a look through the raws, but I don't know very much about raws or modding, so I don't know what I should be looking for. I just know that something is very wrong with these entities and their body parts. If anyone knows what might cause this and how to fix it, I would be very happy.
Here's a save file I posted a while back showcasing the problem: http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=8544
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
