DF Modding / Frequency
« on: March 24, 2011, 03:09:49 pm »
So, I was modding and I have a question. For the [FREQUENCY:X] tag, if I want it to be very common, should I set it high, or low?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / I think I just had the greatest idea for an entrance ever.
« on: March 22, 2011, 09:45:38 pm »
Alright, so, I was thinking about making a freezing trap, and a thought occurred to me. What if you were in a freezing biome, and had a moat in front of your fortress, which was kept liquid by magma underneath it. Now, there is no bridge across this moat. When you want someone to get in or out, you let the magma out. The water freezes, and things can walk across. But what if a siege shows up, and you don't want them in your fortress? Well, you pump the magma back in, the ice melts, and, unless they can swim, they can't get in. I'm going to build this, in my next fortress. Anyone else think the idea is good?

DF Modding / Body parts
« on: March 17, 2011, 03:16:54 pm »
So, in the part of a creatures raws, where it says (This is the one for Dwarves)--
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE],
Does it matter what order those are listed in, or can I put them in whatever order I want?

DF Modding / Castes and genders.
« on: March 16, 2011, 09:29:15 pm »
If I made a custom caste, lets say--
[CASTE:CUSTOM_CASTE_1]
And I added both of the gender tags, like this--
[CASTE:CUSTOM_CASTE_1]
[MALE]
[FEMALE]
What would happen? Would they be generated as both male and female? Or would my hard drive collapse into black hole, and destroy the entire universe?

DF General Discussion / How to capture elves for my current !!SCIENCE!!
« on: March 15, 2011, 07:36:21 pm »
So, I am running some !!SCIENCE!!, and I need elves. Lots of elves. Like, literally hundreds of elves. How can I go about acquiring these elves? I'd prefer not to have to turn invasions on, because I don't want goblin rubbish messing with my experiments. These have to be controlled experiments, or the results won't be valid. So how can I acquire hundreds of elves without invasion?

DF Gameplay Questions / Why won't my dwarves do anything?
« on: March 15, 2011, 05:12:11 pm »
I just embarked, did the normal (Designated stone to be dug and trees to be felled), but then my dwarves wouldn't do anything. I assigned them the labors, but they just stand there. Kind of like they do most of the time when you get an

DF Modding / Mosquito of Power Mod
« on: March 14, 2011, 02:36:43 pm »
That's right, with this mod a new creature is added-- The Mosquito of Power (Actual name-- Elephant mosquito). What's that? You want to know what the Mosquito of Power does? Well, I'll Tell you! With this mod, if Armok smiles upon your fort (Read-- If you're in a tropical biome) he may send an elephant mosquito to your fort. When this mosquito sees a dwarf, he will fly over to the dwarf. What happens next? Well, you see, elephant mosquitos are named that because their main meal is pain elephants. So, when a dwarf is bitten, all that elephant power is instantly imbued upon the dwarf!
What? How did I get a syndrome to have positive effects? What are you talking about? I'm not a modder, this is from Armok himself! But if you must know, this is what happens next-- All of the strength of an elephant is given to that dwarf. (And we all know how much strength elephants have *cough*Boatmurdered*cough*) However, because of their tiny bodies, dwarves have a hard time coping with all that strength. So, the affected body part starts to swell (because of all the new strength), the body part gets heavy bruising, the dwarf is put into extreme pain. What more could you want? Well, I guess you could *cough*want a download link *cough*

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Of course, that's just my luck.
« on: March 13, 2011, 02:50:18 pm »
So there I was, meandering about the world, miles from civilization, and the sun starts to set. Coincidentally, I stumble across a lair, just before the sun went down. So I think to myself, "Well I could sleep in that lair, then I'd be safe from bogeymen" (I have no idea whether I actually would have been safe or not.) All I need to do is kill whoever is in there now. Easy, right? Wrong! As it turned out this lair was, in fact a Roc's nest. As I'm already up there when I find out, I have no choice but to fight. I hack at it a few times with my axe, with barely any effect. Of course, if I don't run now, I'm going to die. So I hop off a 1 z-level, cliff and start sneaking. I sneak back up to the nest, and I steal it's egg. Now, I didn't know how it would've felt about that, but I wasn't about to stay and find out. I was going to make my way to civilization, and show off my stolen Roc egg. It took me a few days, but I was finally almost back. Two tiles from the city, this happens, "Wolves!"
"Wolves," I thought, "can't stop me, I just stole a Roc egg!"
"You hack the wolf in the lower body with your iron battleaxe!
The wolf looks sick!
The wolf bites you in the head, and the severed part sails off in an arc!"
Oh. Of course. That's just my luck.

DF Modding / Caste frequency?
« on: March 12, 2011, 09:01:43 pm »
I'm working on a mod, and I want one-quarter of the creatures to be of one caste, three-quarters of the other. How would I do this?

DF Gameplay Questions / Delayed Mayor?
« on: March 12, 2011, 08:09:42 pm »
In my current fortress, when I hit the population requirement to get a Mayor, I didn't get one. He didn't show up until much later-- when I hit 90 Dwarves. Now, I'm no fan of nobles, but I think they are supposed to come on time.
50, eh? Doesn't seem like it.

Life Advice / Get. Off. My. Computer.
« on: March 12, 2011, 05:46:00 pm »
Well, my computer seems to have contracted a virus. So, where else would I go but Bay12? Alright, it calls itself "Antivirus Moniter." It won't let me run anything or access the internet (I'm in safe mode right now), and is pretending to be an Antivirus program. Ha! What a joke! Who'd actually pay these people? They're jerks, that's what. So how do I get it off? (Quick, before it gets worse!)

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What should I do with these Goblins?
« on: March 12, 2011, 01:15:53 pm »
I recently 'acquired' seven goblins. (Strangely, all seven of them are lashers.) I considered trading one of them into slavery, but it escaped on the way to the depot. So, what should I do with them?

Is there a way to make a reaction produce stone beds? If so, how?

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Poor FPS? Quite the opposite, actually.
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:18:44 pm »
So, I made and adventurer, and walked into the nearest house. Upon entrance, all of my keystrokes were counted as two. I was trying to figure out why, then I saw my FPS counter...
How does that even make sense? That's too much!
Seriously, I've never heard of someone asking for tips on how to lower their FPS.
EDIT: Alright, now I literally have over 9000 FPS. How can I reduce it?
