How hard would it be to get a version of 3.25c that is not graphical

Apparently pretty hard, if you can't get it working...

I kid, I kid. Seriously though, it seems like most of us here use some tileset or another, so (I think) Deon tends to concentrate more on the actual gameplay updates than making every update compatible with the 2.5* tilesets+ASCII Genesis is available in.

Don't worry, you ASCII people will get some love soon, I bet

And thanks Jeoshua, I'll check Notepad++ out. Would LOVE to get any text editor that can search and replace across multiple files.


*Seeing as I'm the only person here who pesters for uses Goldplated, I can't rightly say three...

so i guess the more correct form would be panmantis or pamantis.

For an uber-mantid, maybe, but for an insectoid puma/cougar/what-have-you? It loses the power of its punnery.

But I'm glad Deon liked it, anyway!

Slightly more on-topic, I just discovered that younger worlds have far more volcanoes—but also no copper. Damn and blast. However, being able to flood the world with magma I think is worth the slightly higher cost of cobalt picks and axes.

Catamantis? Get it—catamount (another name for puma, mountain lion, cougar, all the same thing) + mantis (as in praying)? *shot*

Whatever you wind up calling them, they sound really cool. I am totally going to cheat and make them [COMMON_DOMESTIC] so I can embark with them.

RaidSoft, I actually had that problem too. I'm not sure how (or if) I fixed it, but I haven't been noticing it anymore, so... I am not sure what to tell you, actually! It seemed to only occur where grass wasn't dense, so perhaps that had something to do with it?

And Tomi, you said to update Goldplated mine own self would take about five minutes in WinMerge—would that be just copying over the graphics and going through all the raws and merging for the creature tiles? 
I am slowly but surely assimilating all knowledge gleaned from you and Deon to become a supermodder! ...or at least one somewhat less pathetic.

Not sure if it can breed since it's an egglayer.

I have successfully bred my raptors (which I recently modded, adding skill learning and such and so forth) despite being egglayers. The secret seems to be allowing the female to sit on the nest box—my dwarves either wouldn't or were too busy to collect her eggs, and before I knew it I had eight raptor chicks running around.

Will comment more in-depth on other in-thread conversations later. Bad day, tired now. Maybe I'll mess around with the arena and make raptors even stronger...

Deon, You left a region1 save in the latest phobeus download, which is why it is 43meg instead of 22meg.

Just letting you know.

Ooh, a Deon!save for all us fangirls (...meaning, uh, me) to go ooh and aah over?

Any chance of getting a Goldplated version of this quasi-final update, Deon? *bats eyelashes* ♥♥♥
Granted, I'm going to be having the Phoebus version also sitting on my desktop with the others, at least for that succession game... but darn it, Goldplated is still my favorite tileset, though Phoebus is the coolest dude (with the exception of Deon and Tomi, natch).

I'm actually liking the most recent world I genned, I'm thinking about trying to keep it and perforce trying out this World Tinker thing all you cool kids are blathering about.

Speaking of all these versions, I need to actually go through and ruthlessly cull some/most of them (I think I have a 03.18 vanilla, I believe Mayday, which was my very first tileset and which I never use anymore) or make a catch-all DF folder or something—they're all on my desktop for easy access, but even though I have a nice, sexy widescreen monitor, I am rapidly running out of room. 

Oh, and regarding the music files—I can't play .ogg files usually, so a while back I went out and downloaded foobar2000 expressly for that purpose. I can use that to play the song_game.ogg, and I can play other tracks renamed to song_game.ogg (for a little while I had the track Movin' from FF8 as my game music I can toss it on Dropbox already renamed and ready to go for anyone who'd like it, just say the word), so I thought it was a length issue, being over 10 minutes and all, but that seems less likely now that I know other people are playing it fine.

LONG POST IS LONG, and now I am going to bed. |Da

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Personally, I was planning on doing my update in the format of screenshots+story (I've been rereading Boatmurdered, so I can get the right kind of tone ).

I mean, with all the death hilarity of Genesis, can we really record it as anything else but murderously hilariously in-character?

My computer is sadly on the obsolete side of things, but it can definitely handle 4x4, so I'll just throw in with the majority vote.

(Trivia: Initially that was mistyped as 44x44.  )

I'll sneak right in here and grab a turn.

Your name made me literally lol.

But I~ vote... uh, evil, why not? 'Twill make it more difficult to hunt and such, what with everything being made out of bones or rotting flesh. 8D

I'm making Sylvan elves a bit more evil so all of you who likes to kill elves should feel joy.

yessssssssss
