Bay 12 Games Forum

Currently I have everything finally in place and got tested out world gen to make sure everything works. And currently making sure all the said features of the game work while I being working on some new plans. Which include what I have mentioned above. But now I'm also going to look into making all the different Suika sprite Catagories that are mentioned like bee keepers, ghost, ect. And then look in adding bamboo and maybe see what I can do about slabs since they share the same spot as certain hills.

Then it'll be time to work on sprites for all the different new animals as well. Which I can guess from there I'll work on the Inaba race, thier behavior, charatristics, and personality (as well as sprites).

Another question popped into my mind.

Egg-laying!

I forgot that we now have creatures that can lay eggs.

So this sparks up another question:

Should I consider give certain Yukkuri the ability to lay eggs?

It might make sense for some, but I though I'd ask since some other would seem odd.

But I my idea was to consider most Avian based Touhou yukkuri (Aya, Hatate, Mystia) and Frog based (Suwako), and Snake types (Kanako)

But of course this may be odd, but because the yukkuri flan takes place of the giant eagle...I was curious if it should lay eggs too. If so I'll also consider having the remillia yukkuri to do the same as well...

Oh, I'm looking forward to the next release.  I don't know anything about Touhou, but I need me some more eastern fantasy to go with the Osmen I've appropriated from Deon's Genesis Mod.

Well Touhou is a game series made by a single man (and also a drunk) named ZUN. The game series, is mainly a overhead shooter (like Raiden, Ikaruga and the like) except without the planes, and with girls, dodging massive loads of bullets.) And yeah it's pretty much influence by old eastern culture.

Anyways, here's what I can report for the time being.

I'm currently transffering everything I made into the new version. It's going to take some time, because I want to make sure alot of the yukkuri will have their new features that have been added.

But this does spark in an interesting question though...

Since we know yukkuri make up the live stock for the Suikas. I was curious, how many of them should be grazers? Some reason I want to make nearly all of them (except for the more notable cannabils like the Rumia yukkuri for example.)

Also how many should I consider having a beserk button? The Yukka yukkuri seems like a good canidate.

Thought and opinions would be much appricated as I work carefully on transfering everything to 0.31.24.

Well I'll sign up cause...why not.

Your problem is that it's a 10.4.11. (AKA Tiger)

Despite the fact that Toady did the changes with the complier for DF that it now uses intel based mac, he didn't know that it would hate older OS systems (Tiger and Leopard). So your best bet if you want to play the newest version of DF is to either:

1. Resort to Wine and run the PC version of DF through wine.

or

2. Upgrade to Snow Leopard (though there may be a possiblity that might not work either)

or

3. Play DF 0.31.12 if you can find it.

Shame Toady hasn't fixed the issue. But chances are the new compiler for the mac can't be fixed to work with anything below Snow Leopard.

Is it possible to use the Suikas in a vanilla game? That is without changing everything to -kurris and kappas. I just thought it would be hilarious to imagine a Suika Fortress building up with Goblins attacking and stuff.

Something like that would be very simple to accomplish. Depending on how vanilla you want it. (like from the original or Mike Mayday's version.) You could simply take the raws of the Suikas' and replace the Dwarves' in the creature_standard.

If you want graphics with it you'd have to probably replace the graphics of the dwarves with my file with Suikas and possibly rename.

Other than that, for extra flavor, you may want to go through entity_default and make sure your Suika units are named properly like you know "swordssuika" and "Spearsuika". That would be about all the change you'd need to do with it.

your frontpage link is fine, but that url there is the link to the submit screen for it, and gives the "you don't have permission to do this" message.
Also could you please include a .bat file or something to erase every ._DS file.
also the above file says it's for 31.12, and the file is "Suika Fortress 0.31.12 win.zip". Is this a lack of edits to the DFFD page or the wrong link?

Ok I made an error an didn't submit the update before I posted. So yeah that's my fault. ^^;;

Here's the actual link which of course is also on the main page.
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1601

Also .bat file to erase ._DS files? I'm not sure what your talking about here since I don't handle those kinds of files. ^^;

Anyways, let me know if there are any other complications.

My current focus after I get some free time will be to continue trying to see what I can do about "myons" and ghost faires. Then likely follow up with working on some of the Inaba race's behavior and characteristics.

Course this may change rather quickly since I now know that the next installment will contain "Night Creatures" which means I may actually turn my focus on making some actual youkai Touhou charaters in the game after this upcoming release.
