DF General Discussion / Best fantasy in history
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:08:46 am »
I just have to say that Toady's latest post on the dev log is the best piece of high fantasy in the history of man.

"In the midwinter of 73, Teme the Law-Giver led one hundred humans and 33 townie elves against an assault by various forest creatures and their wild elven masters. Teme's defense was successful, but he was struck down by a grizzly bear. The humans constructed the Tomb of Planes and interred Teme within, where he lay for 100 years. Then I went in there, took Teme from the coffin and put the body in my backpack. Obviously the defenses will need to be improved."

Excitement, drama, high adventure! What's not to like? :P

DF Suggestions / Re: make it possible to set a surface area as a place that needs to be kept clean
« on: March 23, 2011, 01:43:56 pm »
Thanks for the replies!

I know about the orders page, but if I keep the outside gates open, cats will go and mass murder vermin out in the world. (For example, they sometimes slaughter these groups of 50+ rats.) Right now it is solvable using the burrow system, if I paint my entire fortress and assign every dwarf to the "big burrow". That is a lot of work though, since you have to paint everything you dig. It would be nicer if I could just paint the surface area that my dwarves need to see as part of my fortress. :)

Virtual outdoor areas like Michael suggests seem like a logical continuation of this idea. Would be nice if something like this could be implemented.

DF Suggestions / make it possible to set a surface area as a place that needs to be kept clean

I tend to build a little surface fort around the entrance to my cozy mountain home. The dwarves refuse to keep it clean though. Everything the cats kill just lies around forever. It would be nice if we could somehow tell our dwarves that an area on the surface is part of the fort and needs to be kept clean. (Maybe using the burrow system?)

I'm guessing you mean .ini, cos I didn't do anything with any xml files, the mapping files for Dwarf Therapist are in .ini "format".

You missed the bit were I already posted the settings for graphics?
Nope, I'd seen that. Is there any reason you're arguing needlessly about anything anyone else says or are you just trolling?

Because... there's no 31.11 yet?
Or are you being facetious? I can't tell.

There was no 31.11 when I posted... just figured I'd jump the gun a bit, since Toady said it would be out this morning. :P

I hope this will make up for my terrible sense of humor:

Why is there no version for 3.11 yet?

DF Suggestions / Good / Evil makes no sense!
« on: July 12, 2010, 04:16:41 pm »
How come evil races attack dwarves while good guys are fine with them? Just take a look around these forums... Elves dumped into pits with kitten leftovers, migrants quashed under bridges, nobles drowned or dumped into the caverns... dwarves are not the good guys!

I reckon the goblins ought to be sending caravans while the humans and elves siege the crap out of you. :P

using those vectors it was easy to get legacy working too. Here's legacy 31.10:

edit - PS: You can just find the creature vector by subtracting 0x44c90 from the language vector, that's what I did for my first post.

For legacy the offsets are:

translation_vector      = 0x017be13c
language_vector         = 0x017be10c
creature_vector         = 0x0177947c
dwarf_race_index        = 0x0157e1cc

but it looks like some other stuff has changed too.
