P.S. Ninjad while typed... But with incomplete answers, so it doesn't countI post whatever I know off the top of my head, and then go back and edit in whatever I dig up later..
A way to start a thread by asking Deon, heh?You on the modding forum, and NW on the suggestion forum, are like clockwork.
WHEN TO GENERATE A NEW WORLD(From Shaostoul's guide)
This question is asked tons. The safest motto to follow is, if you don't know if it needs a regen, just regen.
A new world is needed to be generated when you add any new entries. Like new creatures, entities, items, reactions, etc. I have yet to run into an instance where I can add a new entry and not need to generate a new world.
You can edit existing information, to an extent. With the release of the "DF2010" version, any generated worlds must be edited in the save folder.
Dwarf Fortress->Data->Save->region1->raw->graphics or object
As far as I know, you can edit/change graphics at any time. Please keep in mind, some may not work or might have issues, ask around and people will more than likely help you with any problems.
As new version of Dwarf Fortress come out, I try to make sure that all my information is still working, if something isn't working, I'll help you out with it.
The only problem with mazes in this game is that the only thing you're making work is the pathfinding algorithm, which is effectively omniscient. It's not like the invaders are going to go down the dead ends.No, you're missing the point, I think. Either that, or I am.
the water needs to be 7/7 for successful drowning, otherwise the targets try to swim.The best thing is to drop them into the water, instead of filling it up around them. When a creature is dropped into water, (say by retracting drawbridge) they become stunned and drown.
I had an ambush hit while a caravan was part-way into my fort, so I sealed off the area, splitting the caravan. Now the caravan won't leave, even after I re-opened my doors. They've been here for a couple of years now, half of them sitting in my depot, the other half sitting outside a couple of Z-levels up, near where I had sealed up. Caravans from other races come and use the depot just fine, but this caravan won't leave. Any way I can fix this?Liberal application of magma.
Coming from 40d into this version I was ecstatic about all the iron/bit. coal, then my second fortress I was less enthused... at this point I don't even bother mining out veins because I have sufficient amounts for a metal industry by just building my fortress as normal.This. I've never had to mine out a vein, except on rare occasions when it cut through the a cavern.
The main site appers to be down but my friends say they have no problem with it. Is bay12 site down or have I just failed?You seem to have failed. No problems here.
Just FIVE? I have about 20 copies for Genesis, 8 copies for Wasteland mod and about 10-15 copies for other minor modsWell, this is my first mod, and what's more, I've only been working on it for like two weeks. Genesis, on the other hand, is the second longest thread on the modding forums..
BAHAHAHAHA AT FLORIDA BEING EVIL.
A better North America than mine? (check the sig)
