DF General Discussion / Memory editing apps and Steam VAC Bans
« on: December 30, 2009, 06:22:09 am »
I distinctly remember a topic posted on these forums about a user who ran a Steam game (I believe it was TF2) while using one of the DF memory editing apps. He ended up getting VAC banned, but it was lifted after he sent in a steam support ticket and explained what happened. Does anyone have a link to that topic? I need it for another forum.

Thanks in advance. :)

DF Modding / Team Fortress 2 Threats
« on: August 06, 2008, 01:07:26 pm »
Just threw this together for myself, and thought some of you guys might want it. If you like it, I could add them for different speech things too.

Basically, it adds a lot of new threats, all taken from Team Fortress 2. Instead of just hearing 'Prepare to die!' every time, you could hear:

Quote
They're gonna bury what's left of ya in a soup can!

Quote
If God had wanted you to live, he would not have created me!

Quote
All I can tell you about this next procedure is that it will be EXCRUCIATING!

And many, many more!
Feel free to throw abuse at me/this pack/my mother/my family/my country. :)

Put the file into Dwarf Fortress/Data/Speech

DF General Discussion / DF Music Notation?
« on: July 03, 2008, 12:34:03 pm »
I remember Toady posting the notation for the DF music. Does anyone have a link/copy of it? I just started playing guitar and i'd like to try it  :). Anyone know if it's in TAB notation?

DF Modding / Making some fun things, need advice.
« on: February 19, 2008, 09:07:00 am »
I'm going to add some bad-ass things to my game (giant robots, goblin mechs, twilight wraiths).

1) Is there any way to make the wraiths weaker in the day? I know I could just make it so they only appear at twilight, but it'd be nice to be able to slaughter the annoying enemies who kick my ass in twilight.

2) Is there any way to make them take extra damage from fire?

3) Can I make them breathe a different-coloured fire? (blue instead of red).

Thanks in advance

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Gaaah!
« on: December 18, 2007, 08:11:00 am »
Every winter, the major river in my fortress freezes over. This would be alright, except for the fact that for some reason a small section unfreezes first. Several of my dwarves decide it'd be a good idea to go drink/fish there, rather than drink my lovely booze. Long story short, it unfroze and i've lost four dwarves to it already. Any suggestions to stop this next winter? I tried making an underground resivoir but it flooded..

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Master Crownmaker
« on: December 14, 2007, 04:20:00 am »
Har. So, I had a dwarf make an artifact crown, menacing with spikes of iron and decorated with kobold bone. The thing is, every single metal craft he now makes is a masterpiece crown. No matter what metal I order him to do it with, it's always a masterpiece crown.
So then I tried turning on engraving for him.
EVERY SINGLE ENGRAVING IS A PICTURE OF A CROWN.
ARRRGH.
He's just obsessed with the damn things.
So, how have your dwarves been obsessive lately?   :p

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Post your super-elaborate traps here!
« on: December 02, 2007, 12:03:00 pm »
I'm currently experimenting with a fire spirit in a cage and a booze stockpile. Trouble is, I can't really test it without losing all my booze. It's something like this:

code:

      | 
      []
-----| |---  
   BBB  K
--------P---

[] = Cage
- = Floor
B = Booze
P = Pressure Plate

DF Gameplay Questions / Limiting immigration but keeping babies?
« on: March 11, 2008, 02:04:00 pm »
Does setting the pop cap to 10 still mean my dwarves can have babies? I'm making a nice little village in the middle of The Lovely Forest (Yes, that's the name), and i'm going to give each dwarf a proper wooden house, but I don't want to end up giving immigrants a smelly barracks. SO, how can this be acheived, if pop cap won't work?

DF Gameplay Questions / Attacking traders
« on: March 03, 2007, 04:22:00 pm »
I've seen several threads where people said that they attacked the caravan with their military, but I don't seem to be able to do it. I've tried stationing my squad onto the caravan, I've fired a ballista into one of their merchants, but they never fight... So, how do I?

DF Gameplay Questions / Can dwarves die of old age?
« on: December 14, 2007, 04:22:00 am »
Just what the title says. I know they have an age limit in the raws, but I don't know if it works in fortress mode. Anyone ever had an old age death?

DF Bug Reports / Game crashes when floodgate lever is pulled
« on: February 07, 2007, 12:22:00 pm »
I currently have a channel leading from the magma into the chasm, with a floodgate at each end. When one of my lil' dwarven buddies pulls the lever to open it, the game instantly crashes. I have another one leading from the river to the chasm which works fine. It also crashes on my GLADIATOR DEATH KILL BLOOD ARENA OF PAINT. I have a lever leading to two cages at once, one with a stray dog and one with a batman. Below them is a carbon copy of the arena, with a magma man and another batman.

DF Bug Reports / Computer freezes
« on: November 28, 2007, 03:26:00 pm »
My PC freezes up, then starts to emit a high-pitched whine if I try and load DF and Internet Explorer at the same time. I have Windows Vista. I think it's a hardware problem, but if anyone knows another way please let me know. It's happened twice so far, once when I tried to go back to the main page on the wiki, once when I was loading DF and IE at the same time. I'm forced to turn my PC off at the power, which was what destroyed my last PC.

DF Bug Reports / Dwarves don't wanna eat
« on: November 27, 2006, 03:17:00 pm »
Hi, first post   :p . Great game, but I can't really play it until this bug is solved... When the first dwarf caravan comes, i get about 15 messages telling me my dwarves can't eat because the item is inaccesible. One dwarf runs outside and grabs a cheese off the wagon, and eats it. Then all my dwarves just refuse to eat and all starve to death. This is really constricting my gameplay, as you can imagine   :p so any help would be greatly appreciated.
