Bay 12 Games Forum

Look at first thread.

There hasn't been any recent posts on your blog, but in one of your posts you wrote that you don't have much time left for programming.

I hope some day you find the time and enthusiasm again to polish this up a bit (with some of the recommendations in this thread). This looks cool and should really help with modding creatures, which can otherwise be a daunting task.

I'm waiting for the next release of Dwarf Fortress because there are a lot of new creatures so i think i'm going to work on that version.

28/04/11: Added Dragonslayer and Draconis.

The Draconis Dragonslayer can kill a dragon...

Which is the best way to make a weapon stronger than the others? Shall i create a new weapon or add a new material? I've tried to add a new material, but i don't know what to change to make the material harder.

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO CREATE A MOD, BUT YOU SUCK AT CODING?

Now there is a solution!
You can ask me to create it for you, following two simple rules:

• Dont' ask me to create huge mods; only small modifications
• Search on the forum before asking me to create a mod; maybe it exists already

How to contact me:

• By using this thread.
• By using a pm.

I'm going to post all my mini-mods in this topic. Requests are appreciated.

1. The Easter Egg
This works like a plant and can be found in the bushes of any biome. You can also make eggnog and easter flour.

---

2. Easter Bunny
A normal bunny edited to lay eggs.

3. The Sushi Bar
A workshop in which you can make sushi using 1 fish + 1 unit of rice.

What I'd suggest, is select a line in the main box, and then just let the user double click the line he wants to add in the helper window.  That would be a lot more intuitive for most PC users.

What I might also suggest adding is mutually exclusive tags being selected from a drop down.

I.E. tissue layer types.

Thanks, for the suggestions! I'm going to work on these today.

I need a lot of help, so if you want to create a layout for the program, please post it on this forum so i can add it to the software. I don't have much time to work on layouts and i prefer to work a lot on the software.

CTRL+R and CTRL+I while on the helper screen does some very weird stuff on my computer.  Cycling randomly between items on the help menu screen, and adds something different than what I selected with the mouse.

Before pressing ctrl+key have you tried to select a line of the big boxtext in the main window?
I'm going to change the controls for the next release; any suggestion?

It should have different keys... Urist bashes Grobek with the space bar! Urist bashes Grobek with the "Y" key! Urist bashes Grobek with the control button! Urist deletes Grobek with the delete key!

EDIT: There you go. That should be all the keys.

This is one of the most epic things i've ever seen.
So here's the new keyboard:
