DF General Discussion / Re: What platform do you play DF on?
« on: December 05, 2011, 11:28:58 pm »
Quick correction, it's not "platform", it's "OS" or "Operating System". Platform is like PC, Xbox 360, PS3, etc..

What? I've been playing Dwarf Fortress on my Xbox 360 this whole time. The graphics are really nice. I'm up to the fifth level, where are you?

IN THIS THREAD: 1 KILOGRAM OF FEATHERS DOES NOT HAVE EQUAL WEIGHT TO 1 KILOGRAM OF STONES. MORE AT 11.

Anyway, the whole time I was reading this, it really bothered me that they kept saying 'metal'. Surely a scientific news-source would write what sort of metal it could be compared to? That's just bad journalism, there.

Jake died before the whole Sburb game started?

That's new.

Looks like he'll have to play the 'survival' version of the game, until he hits a quest bed.

Y'know, that thing that they're carrying him on looks a lot like one of the quest bed slabs.

Orky Steelaz. Andreus, you've got a brilliant idea there, I love it. Dakkafex, Hive Boss with Bone Choppa, Biogunnerz and termaboyz and hormaboyz... The list goes on.

"So, builders, today we're gonna make some... stuff."
"Stuff, sir?"
"Yes, stuff. All I know is, we got handed these strange schematics and we've got to build this stuff."
"Let me look at that sir. I think that's just the grid on the paper."
"NO! It was definitely the plans. GET TO WORK."

I'm a Tyranid player. I've always loved the 'endless horde' motif of them. Don't let people convince you that 'faceless and without personality' means you cannot customise. Unfortunately, the codex is pretty bad, mostly due to the rarity of invulnerable saves. Even your big nasty monsters will get torn to shreds by anyone with a power weapon of some sort. I lost a Trygon almost the moment it entered to a random Grey Knight space marine with a nemesis force halberd. Just a lowly strike-squad marine, about as weak as Grey Knights come.

I also have a decent Ork army and a small Chaos Daemons army. Chaos Daemons are so much fun to play, because they're just crazy wacked out, but like the tyranids they're not very competitive due to a lack of shooting units (Unless you go all Tzeentch). My Orks have all the guns and are crazy fun to play. If you want to start a new army and want to be silly, go orks. If you want to start a new army and go for something a bit more serious, try out the Daemons, or the new Necrons (because they've just got a whole bunch of rather nice things).

I'd just like to say that Dadaism is my sworn enemy.

That is all.

Query: if magma breaches the surface, it becomes lava. Is the opposite true?
Incorrect. Magma is not lava on the surface, lava is magma with impurities in it. Lava has more stone in it, magma has more metal.

Volcanoes=lava.
Magma tubes and magma sea=magma.
Actually, ASCIt is correct. Magma is underground lava, lava is aboveground magma.

DF Modding / Re: Block Press mod [Help!]
« on: June 14, 2011, 07:54:14 am »
I watched it carefully and saw nothing evaporating. I'm not sure if perhaps it's just evaporating and dissipating before it can be displayed, though. If so, there'd be no way to tell.

I'm not sure what you mean about specifying the material (my modding knowledge is pretty poor at the moment, I've been out of commission for a while). Do you mean in the reagent or the product? If you mean the reagent, then which NONE should specify something? I could individually make reactions for each type of item (which would also make it easier to select items...).

DF Modding / Block Press mod [Help!]
« on: June 14, 2011, 07:33:59 am »
So, I was trying to make a block-press. The block-press was meant to take ANY object (i.e, whatever object was nearest to the dwarf doing the task of pressing blocks) and turn it into a block of the same kind. Ideally, this would make blocks out of some weird stuff, like bones, booze, blood, corpses, etc. Unfortunately, my initial testing didn't work. Here's what I had.

Building -
Code: [Select]
[BUILDING_WORKSHOP:BLOCKPRESS]
[NAME:Block-Press]
[NAME_COLOR:7:0:1]
[DIM:1:1]
[WORK_LOCATION:1:1]
[BUILD_LABOR:MECHANIC]
[BLOCK:1:0]
[TILE:0:1:207]
[COLOR:0:1:0:7:0]
[TILE:1:1:207]
[COLOR:1:1:MAT]
[BUILD_ITEM:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][BUILDMAT][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY]
[BUILD_ITEM:2:TRAPPARTS:NONE:NONE:NONE][CAN_USE_ARTIFACT]

It's effectively a screw-press with a different name.
Reaction -
Code: [Select]
[REACTION:PRESS_BLOCK]
[NAME:press items into blocks]
[BUILDING:BLOCKPRESS:NONE]
[REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE] this was supposed to pick any item at all, which it does
[PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE] this was supposed to turn the reagent into a block, which it doesn't
[SKILL:PRESSING]

Even though the reaction and building are in the entity_default.txt, the reaction doesn't work. It appears, the dwarf takes the job, the item is 'pressed' and then ... nothing comes out the other end. I literally watched my dwarfs shove every single item in their caravan into this sucker, only for it to make absolutely nothing.

So, help, pretty please? I just want my elf blood blocks and forgotten beast extract blocks and and human leather blocks and all that jazz.

I do have a guide that will help you measure out circles correctly, I can never make them right without it.
