Bay 12 Games Forum

My understanding is that there was no intended pronunciation originally.  The wiki has suggested pronunciation here: https://www.dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Dwarven_language

Yes, it does have suggestions in its general scope, hence my original link.

This may seem dumb but can anyone help with why I might not be able to see the Researchers Study in any lists? How does one get the ingredients? How does this mod have no wiki. All the information I could find myself seems to be from 2014 and Im honestly wondering if the mod simply moved away from it entirely. Thats how devoid of evidence it still exists my search has been. Please help. Reddit just offered me the same 2014 looking information from the wiki and then got surprised when I wasnt satisfied.

Yes, hello.The 'wiki' you might be referring to is, in fact, a subset of the Dwarf Fortress wiki more generally - (https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Masterwork:Main_Page) - the mod itself, however, has been discontinued by the modder a while back; due to allegations of plagiarised tileset content, that rather snowballed out of control, of all things. And shortly before he fled the community in disgrace over the matter, at that.

hi Toady!

I can’t seem to find a full answer as to why, but is there anyway for me to edit the engraving text phrases used when one makes a custom slab or art description? I would even love it if we could somehow have a custom text fill in option too if that was somehow possible. Mainly I figured we should be able to at least alter the existing phrases to read a little bit different if desired but the only answer I seem to get is, it’s hardcoded. Is there a reason this is the case?

...two too many 'somehows' IMO makes you look a touch less competent than you may have intended, BTW?

Rimworld which is basically DF for casuals, it has a mod that adds pretty decent multiplayer experience without issues.

This, you mean? (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2606448745)  Edit: (Yes, apparently so, in case Tarn's interest was piqued, due to Criperum's overcite (*ba dum tss*) in the first place.)

I’ll be holding out for a native 64-bit Linux version that supports SDL2 (mostly because the people in charge of my distribution have said that Hell will freeze over before they support the older versions of SDL…).

Emphasis mine:
Hang on, what's this 'chuff chuff, toot toot' I hear in the distance... ...wait, surely not a large heap of leaves on the line, preventing the Linux cargo train from coming in, here? 

Adventure mode is going to need a whole rpg-style soundscape.  We're seeking an audio engineer for example for this reason. ]Music is also a current discussion.  It should be pretty exciting overall!  And we'll see what comes back to fort mode as well, since sounds (not music) got the short end of the stick there.

Emphasis mine… Has the notion of, I suppose: ‘procedural asset reuse’ (that is, apropos musical forms from any given worldgen) been brought up at all yet in that discussion? (Not that I have any involvement, but; Ad hoc orchestral composition example: tracks 1 and 5 are irrelevant, furthermore I'm told it is, or was, a rough draft: https://soundcloud.com/musicmastermsh/sets/songs-of-zavazsil)

What is you vision of gods nature in M&M arc? Are they always primodial and unchanged? Or sometimes gods can be created or altered by compound believe of large enough amount of people?

As to the second question, a wild guess is pretty wild, but...it's most likely some amount of both?

I trust the bumping up (or down as it may be) of all entity-having creatures' (dwarves, elves, humans at least) CHILD tags to 18 is just temporary? Entirely too heavy post-industrial legislation vibes over here as it is, you see. 

Not sure whether the issue of ice melting into some sort of weird, item-like contaminant is at all intended, either:

When an ice boulder melts underground, it becomes an item named "water" that differs from regular water in such fashion: it has no liquid level, does not leave mud when it evaporates, is cyan rather than blue, and dwarves eventually remove it with a "clean" job.Melted ice boulders cannot be used as a water source.
