DF Community Games & Stories / Dyebraves (Histories of Vomit and Insanity)
« on: March 21, 2010, 12:42:47 pm »
There is a beginners fort, so one step up from that; Novices! The idea is to forge your experience in a hostile, unforgiving environment, mind you this trip is not for the weak of heart!

Requirements: be fairly good to Ok at best in Dwarf mode. Very experienced players are likely not to feel the sting of defeat here, and moreover, will probably overshadow the rest of us.(Note this was started in the previous version and re-started in .31) Personally I will likely be on the low-end of this spectrum so do not be shy to sign up.

Standard succession fort rules:
  • Turns will last one year from the first day of Spring (1st Granite) to the next. Upon receiving notice of this zip the save and upload it somewhere for the next player. (if you need help with this, ask)
  • New,New rule!When your turn comes, I will PM you to make sure you know. You can message me, or just post saying OK! I'm starting, unless you plan on posting the update that day.
  • Complete your turn in a timely manner (generally two weeks, but if updates persist can be flexible). If you need more time consider swapping with another. New rule!If no word is given and turns drag on within three days, we revert to the previous save and move to the next player.
  • Please try not to destroy the fort, it is an inevitable outcome most likely, but do everything in your power to delay it.
  • have fun and fun!

DF Modding / DQ re-expanded (WIP)
« on: February 22, 2010, 09:01:23 am »
I'm not really sure of the interest in this, but thought I'd share it anyways. I would have posted in the DQ expanded thread, but fear of necromancy stopped me.

So I got this graphic set a while back and was waiting to understand the game a bit more before trying to use it, the non-square tiles worried me a bit. I decided to try it out, but wanted square tiles so I made them square but was wondering why the ocean creatures were unfinished. I decided to fill it in with some more, also to separate the files in order to aid the addition of more creatures and such in the future.

The only changes so far are to the sea creatures, so credit for everything else goes to their original creators. (Deep Qantas and Isenhertz? Tell me if I'm wrong)

So what I've added as of now (each including child/zombie/skeleton):
  • finished Mermaid
  • Short/Longfin Mako
  • Stingray
  • Manta Ray
  • Tiger Shark
  • Conger Eel
  • Hammerhead Shark
  • Swordfish
  • Marlin (yes, they look different)
  • and Barracuda

What I need is some people to test it out and see that the animals/civs are all working properly. I've never seen most of the sea creatures, so if somebody would like to alter the raws to force them to spawn and let me know I'd appreciate it!  :)

If there's any interest I would be happy to continue adding to this, including any suggestions people might have. So please check it out, thanks!
