« on: June 21, 2009, 07:56:32 am »well... personally, i've never done much hunting or foraging... neither is as reliable as farming afaik.
i was thinking (admittedly, i forgot to mention it in the OP) of a fort focused on pig tails and making cloth... as in only cloth.
... hmm i guess it'd be a bit like an elf-fort...
few herbalists can easily feed 20 dwarves... there are eaten by cougars time to time, but it is good enough before you make yourself catsplosion type food source

I have 1/4 or 1/5 done...
There are lots of hommonyms in that file! Also I am surprised WHAT words does this game use. I already had to use thesaurus and I am translating to my mother's language!

« on: June 19, 2009, 06:09:36 pm »You can use multi-word strings and they'll be appropriately capitalized, but they look weird.
Also, I am dubious about how this mod can replace first names. As far as I know, they're randomly generated using a list of syllables.
I can create SYM_NAME_FORENAME (every czech name that has name day in calendar) and SYM_NAME_SURNAME (some typical czech surnames... damn, just realized, that girls here have appendix -ova in surnames) words, but I have no idea how they would work.
Still unaswered is the question about encoding.

Hm... what encoding should I use to preserve diacritics? UTF-8?
BTW I hope you do not mind that texts in DF will be little... weird. We have brutal grammar, we even modify ends of words depending on situation (for example "This is a lion" is "Toto je lev" but "Kill that lion" is "Zabij toho lva").
Edit: Can I use multiple words translation? Because shoe = bota, boot = vysoka bota, etc.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Leather ignites at lower temperatures than cloth, apparently.

(Dwarvenly) Beautiful!
Thank you, this is one of the most hilarious things I have seen.
One question - do Muscox combust? In third video I noticed that trader with muscox leather cap started burning immidiately but live muscox lived fine all the time. I could imagine that animals are harder to ignite (because of fat, blood, etc that takes some heat away from skin) than dry leather, but...

Falling into water does not lower damage that much... but what when dwarf already is in the water? How would this work?
I - walls
\ - ramp
~ - water
Dwarf is swimming and can not reach the ramp, therefore is stuck in water. You let this fall, section should cave-in, ramp gets down, dwarf gets on dry land. Will he suffer any damage?
Code: [Select]

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Marking out big circles
« on: June 18, 2009, 04:13:23 am »Which is why DF will never be in 3D. Perspective would drive you mad.Well, I have a bit of a problem. I want to dig out a really big circle, because circles are pretty. But I can't get it to actually be round, because it's so big, you can't really judge that well. I can, however, tell it's more like a rounded rectangle. Bah.Look at it this way. A circle, by definition, is the collection of points which all have equal distance to a single point, called center.
So, I ask: Is there an easy way to mark out a large circle for digging?
And in DF, diagonal movement costs as much as straight movement. This means that what we uneducated humans call a square is actually a perfectly round and pretty dwarven circle!
This is not true... Last year we defined sphere in my mathematical analysis class. Just one of "spheres" is a sphere - all others are just squares with more or less rounded corners.
