DF Community Games & Stories / Short Stories
« on: September 16, 2010, 04:55:37 pm »
Okay, I've decided to just turn this into a thread of DF Short Stories; the idea struck me while I was wondering what the hell I was going to do with the original plot (Now called 8 Bit Adventure, for no good reason, other than that I like the sound of it). The stories will be completely random in quality, setting, etc. Steampunk dorfs, terrible attempts at comedy, whatever I feel like writing about at the time. One might be only 1 post long, while another could be over 9000. The first post will be an index sorta-thing. Feel free to post your own little stories, and I'll add them along with mine. In fact, I'd love you to post your own. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stop repeating the word ''stories'' in every sentence I write.

INDEX
------

8 Bit Adventure (Normal story) (2 posts)
Description: Join Jarven and his horse Florence on an adventure involving magical, talking swords, dragons, angry barbarians, necromancers, and whatever other ideas my imagination throws at me. Hooray for stupidly unplanned plots!
Length: We'll have to see. It'll probably end up being pretty long.

Land Ahoy (Choose Your Own Adventure type thing) (3 posts, FINISHED)
Description: A complete rip-off of the work of OneMoreNameless, Kogan and anyone else who's done something remotely similar to this before. Including bloodthirsty steampunk dwarves and what not.
Length: It'll be pretty short.

DF Community Games & Stories / Mirrorscalded [Community Fort]
« on: June 06, 2010, 02:36:55 pm »
I've been threatening to do a community fortress for a long, long time. I've always put it on the back burner, giving excuses like ''new version will be here soon!'' (about a year before it was released) and so on and so forth. But no more! This'll be a pretty simple Community fort. I haven't tried out a fort in the new version before, so I know next to nothing about the new features. I'm not a very good DF player anyways, DF2010 or not, so there should be plenty of Fun, especially if those elephants in the corner of our embark have anything to say about it. I'm open to your suggestions as to what I should do around the fort, and while you're requesting a dorf you may as well write a description for him, too. I'll be keeping a list of all dorfs in the first post and also their status, but don't be afraid to poke me if I haven't mentioned your guy in a while. This might turn out to be a big failure, but I figured that I'd start this up while I'm still feeling optimistic :)

TL/DR: Starting up fort. Request dwarf; write description.

Begin!

DF General Discussion / A masterful engraving... (Minecraft)
« on: February 27, 2010, 06:51:47 am »
Just thought I'd post this here as a tribute to Toady, to show my appreciation for making such a good game. Sure, it only took me 5-10 minutes to do this, but I'm lazy, what can I say?

I probably could've made it a bit more neat if I increased their size. Oh well :D

DF Modding / New language?
« on: April 03, 2009, 03:20:04 pm »
Hullo again. I've decided to make my own playable civ, the Lizardmen. I have the creature file almost done but I don't want to give them one of the default speech files like I've done in the past, but I don't want to spend hours manually changing EVERY word in the language files, either. So, my question is: does anyone know of a faster way to create a new one? A random language generator, or something similar? Or am I doomed to giving up those many hours of my life...?

Thanks anyways.

DF Modding / Couple of questions about a new creature.
« on: March 12, 2009, 01:35:48 pm »
I've been thinking about making my own (personal) mod for a good while now, but I only got around to it now. But, thing is, I'm unsure about a couple of tags I added. Can you guys/gals check these out, please? Thankee kindly.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've also added [BUILDINGDESTROYER:1]. When I've added the entity file and they start sieging me, will they just go all out for my buildings, or will their first priority be killing the dwarves?

How much do personality tags really affect the creature? I mean, if I used [PERSONALITY:ANGER:100:100:100], would they be berserk all the time or anything?

What would be the best combination of [FAT:?], [LAYERING:?] etc. so it would survive in a larger variety of areas?

Will [trAPAVOID] make the creature immune to cage traps, too? I'd still like to have arena fights. :P

That's all for now. I might have some more questions when I make the entity. Thanks in advance! :)

DF Gameplay Questions / Can't build up ramp or stairs.
« on: February 01, 2009, 02:52:21 pm »
I was digging further underground, searching for copper, more rock etc, but strangely, the set of stairs leading to the last chunk I'd carved out of the ground just disappeared (I didn't see this happen). I probably just removed the ramp by mistake, alas, now I can't build anything that will take me back down (ramps and up-stairs just can't be build on that floor). I've tried building it on clean earth, but the cursor just vanishes when I press enter. Anyone know what's wrong?
