There's no way you're getting 9999 FPS in-game.

I refuse to believe this. You're checking that when it's paused or in a menu or something.

I think he means that he's choosing 9999 as the fps cap, not reporting the result. BUT, if he really is getting a result of 9999 fps, there's one way to determine the accuracy the this measurement: Do all of the dwarves die of old age within ten seconds of embark?

Carp and other creatures in liquids do sometimes make it through fortifications, but I don't think that it's necessarily due to pressure since it sometimes happens to creatures in pressureless (and unpumped) magma. Probably just some kind of pathing bug.

An easy fix is to make your "creature filters" two-fortifications thick (or two-grates thick, or two-bars thick). I've been making mine double-wide for a long time, and have never seen a creature make it past.

I think the general shape of the female dwarves is excellent. I also think that the ruby lips and external nipples could be toned down a bit. =)

     Is there a way to specify separate male and female graphics? For example, a separate tile for male and female dwarf stonecrafters?

     A quick scan of the graphics set repository didn't turn up any that I could use as a model.

Edit: I just noticed Deon's female dwarves in the Stonesense thread. What text do you use to specify male/female?

I wonder, if you sold him, would he come back as normal?

I'm now going to become obsessed with trapping a liason via cave-in dust, and then shipping him back home alive and healthy, just to see if he comes back to visit. (We were such good hosts!) This would officially make "liason" the worst possible job a person could ever have.

I'm sort of wondering if theres a way with creature tags to specify if they have certain body parts at differant ages, as the Giant Dragonflys give birth to Nymph's which can apparently fly. :B

    Yeah, the nymphs fly, haven't figured out a way around that other than just calling them something else. PROTIP: You can brew the dragonfly corpses.

    Awesome story, Jervous! I think you may have embarked on the most dangerous map imaginable. I've been playing on a map where I have to seal up my entrance with walls once or twice a year to survive the horrible Gorgosaurus that are showing up. Thanks for the testing and feedback!

     1.0 should be ready soon - I've even made some rudimentary 16x16 graphics for the new creatures (someone with actual artistic talent is very welcome to do a better version) . It'll also have adjusted creature size and distribution, more new crops, possibly a new sieging civilization, and semimegabeasts for Adventure Mode. The install files will also be much better organized, making it easier to selectively use parts of the mod or combine it with other mods.

Well, the bad new is that he died in the cage of unknown causes (maybe a missing leg?). The good news is that he was wearing some masterwork GCS silk clothing with masterwork decorations, so I was able to trade it back to the home civilization for almost their entire caravan.

     They may be different versions... my personal install is Today's latest, and the Mayday version may not be.

     Does the prepackaged curses_square_16x16 tileset not work correctly with 16x16 graphics? When I try to use it instead of the Mayday tileset I get all kinds of display anomolies, such as certain letters like "E" in "Embark" not showing up, and invisible dwarves.

     If the curses_square_16x16 set DOES work, then I suppose I have some invalid resolution or grid setting somewhere.
