DF Modding / Modding DF with many mods
« on: April 19, 2011, 12:03:30 am »
I have tried several mods for DF, and have liked a few of the mods I have tried. In most cases they easy to implement onto vanilla DF.
However when I try to add the Civ Forge mod to an DFAdvanced mod (for example), things go wrong. Workshops don't appear, weapons don't appear, and other problems occur.
So, how would I go about getting multiple mods to work on one version of DF?
Am I going to have to learn the language of modding and simply copy and paste the right parts of each raw, without deleting parts that are from different mods, or is there another way of doing this that won't be as tiresome and confusing?

EDIT: If no-one has anything on the subject, I will try my best to figure it out, and post results in this thread.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Military dwarves deciding own names
« on: April 15, 2011, 04:59:42 am »
My military commander came back from a successful day in the field (killed a dozen vikings, I'm using the Enhanced mod) and now has an entirely new name.
Before it was Libash Idenothil 'Libash Paddleweakens'.
Now it is Libash Idenothil Shetbethmesir Laven 'Libash Paddleweakens The Twinkling Shower of Prairies'.

First off, what? Why would you call yourself that, you crazy dwarf you!?
Secondly, is this based on kills like I think it is, or is there another reason for this strange occurence?

DF Gameplay Questions / Help with embark
« on: April 13, 2011, 01:55:29 am »
I have embarked many a time before, but there has always been something that has been bugging me.
I like to bring along some form of armor for my warriors, but when I bring gauntlets there are never enough. For 2 warriors, I select 2 gauntlets, but when I go to check their inventory only the one is using gauntlets.

So my question is, do you have to purchase one gauntlet per hand, or do they come as a set?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Finally! A use for kittens.
« on: April 05, 2011, 05:13:50 am »
3 years into my fortress and I am not 100% sure on this number, but I think I have 72 kittens and 10 cats. I only brought the 2 to start with.
That just shows you how much I hate them during this fortress.
But here is how they are useful...
A Giant attacked my fortress. All of my civilian dwarves rushed inside, while my militia rushed to a rally point to confront the beast. As it approached my walls, it caught site of a kitten, playing in the meadows and trying hard to catch that butterfly that it was best friends with. Unfortunately, the Giant took exception to this frolicking and proceeded to chase the little furball right into my militia.
While the Giant pummeled the poor thing, the militia tookt he opening and felled it rather quickly. Once it had collapsed they continued to smash it repeatedly with their Silver Warhammers.
They are 27 pages in and still going strong...

So in short, Giant bait. Makes for a good sacrifice that isn't a dwarf.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Dwarves refusing to use axes.
« on: March 28, 2011, 04:35:47 am »
I made a fortress not too long ago, and everything was going fine. The designated woodcutter was doing his job, and cutting down trees. I ended up using all the wood fo beds and barrels as one would expect.
But after the second wave of migrants, everybody stopped touching the battle axes I had. They were just sitting in the weapon storage, un-used.
Anyone have any idea why this happened? I don't mind restarting if I have to, since the world is rather new, but I would rather not have to.
(Also, since I have no more wood I can't make any more barrels, and all my barrels are filled with food. I can get by sort of, but it's tough to get a balance between food and drink)
