DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Dwarf Fortress DS?
« on: June 18, 2009, 03:59:51 am »
It is not like we wound not want to see DF on other platforms. But you either get the same DF and it will be unplayable or you get simplified version which means Toady would have to work on it for several months, maybe years. And let's face it, PC DF players do not want to see Toady distracted by ports when there are bugs to repair, bloats to control, thousands of times requested features, etc.

Haha, you can say that again. It really is too bad you're on windows :(

OS war even here? C´mon ...

1) use any bitmap editor that supports grid (e.g. MS Paint), draw circle and use it as guide
2) get a very big piece of squared paper, draw circle and color each square that has more than 50% of volume (I hope this is correct name for it) inside the circle
3) I tried looking for some premade guides, I am sure, there is one posted on forum, but I can not find it
4) mathematical formula for circle is very easy, if you have mad math skill or good calc, you can count which squares are in circle

Then simply transfer your circle in DF. If you are lazy, use QuickFort on your bitmap.

In general, when creating complicated design, I suggest drawing it in vector editor, exporting into bitmap editor (clean it up little bit) and using the bmp as a guide.

I guess I had the erosion set too high... I embarked next to an open HFS. Yeah. Things ended fairly quickly.

Do you have save or seed?

Nah, see, yer thinkin' like a dwarf - the which is not a bad thing - butcha gotta think like a wise guy.

Build him a new bedroom - "to make up for past misunderstandings" - and put him off his guard. Then anything that happens won't happen in your fortress. A dog and where he sleeps and all like that.  ;)

Eeeh ... of course!

You should dump it in his bed. Not next to it. For added effect.

Actually in the book the horse head was placed next to the bed, but Coppola misread it and didn't realize his mistake until after the scene was shot. Talk about happy accidents, eh?

If you can't place a bed on a dump zone just say you're being faithful to the original source material.

Good catch, thank you.

Split the diff - encase his bed (with him and horse head(s) ) in obsidian, and send him to sleep wit' da carps.

Would be over-dwarvenly difficult. Just for obsidian shoes I would have to rebuild 3/4 of fortress. And making artificial lake in which I could cave-in him would need to rebuild the rest of it ... next time I guess.

And remember the words: Klaatu, Barada, Nikto.

That not lovecraft, that Day the Earth Stood Still.

Cambel and Rami just happen to like it.

I was obviously referencing Army of Darkness (hello? Necronomicon?)


Ehm ... he noticed. See "Cambel and Rami ..."

Have you considered building also a zepelin-like baloon on top? In case that rotors would not be enough?

We did this all to get a horse head next to the mayor's bed? XD

Yeah ... it is a warning. One more impossible demand and his days are over.

I'd suggest reading The Shadow Out of Time and At the Mountains of Madness last, because they bring everything else about Lovecraft's Mythos together and you shouldn't spoil it. :P

Well yes ... but it makes much more sence then. Hm ... guess it depends on everyone´s taste.

Also at least The King in Yellow should be on list

Thank you, Albedo. Several giant axe traps + small cave-in versus 20 horses = 8 heads!
