DF Suggestions / Re: Non-Stone Slabs
« on: September 11, 2011, 04:15:13 pm »
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. So does being able to choose what (non-metal) material you want your engraved slab to be, er, engraved on.

For massive constructions, I just use clay. Lots and lots of clay. My migrants that aren't stone haulers, cannon fodder, or actually USEFUL spend their time gathering clay.

Ah...that might make sense...I did base it off of copper...weird, though, plastic always beat copper in the arena...

I made plastic as a metal. My adventurers now start with plastic large daggers. Oops.

And more specifically, why does this

1) make a different entity for each creature
2) add [ADVENTURE_TIER:X] where X is a number, usually one greater than the last number used
3)I think they need a language to speak though you might be able to omit it if you just want to rampage (maybe?)
5)model it after this example to have the best way of doing it
6)there is no #4 on this list

here's the entities for adventure monsters in Deon's genesis mod

A. Languages...ah...
B. I thought that [ADVENTURE_TIER] was only needed for races that spawned in the world.
C. Huh, even without your suggestions, everything worked great! Smuthsla Warmthinsight, bronze colossus adventurer, had an awesome rampage! Then I got bored.

DF Modding / Adventure Mode Civ
« on: September 11, 2011, 07:18:25 am »
I have crafted the following entity for use in making adventurers from odd creatures:

Code: [Select]
[ENTITY:ADV]
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]
[CREATURE:MINOTAUR]
[CREATURE:STRANGLER]
[CREATURE:HARPY]
[CREATURE:SCORPION_DESERT_GIANT_DARK]
[MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:0]
[MAX_POP_NUMBER:0]
[MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:0]1. I modded in the dark giant desert scorpion. It can learn, is 50% bigger than a normal giant desert scorpion, and only appears in evil savage biomes. Any other ideas to add to it that would help in adventure mode would be nice but not needed.
2. How does the entity look? Anything else I need to keep it from trying to spawn? Anything every entity needs that I left out? Etc?
3. What other creatures should I add to the entity?

[sarcasm]No, reeeally? A low-fantasy computer game might need some additions by me to make t into a good site for a different type of high-fantasy game altogether?[/sarcasm]

Yeah, I was planning to do that. I just wanted a layout idea.

Maybe dwarves wander towards meeting areas to sleep without a room?

Go into a mood, go insane because he couldn't find any shells, and use the chunk of coal to kill the moose.

What would Urist do if he had a !!lignite block!!, a catapult, and three cats?

DF General Discussion / Fortress Maps for RPGs
« on: September 10, 2011, 04:57:59 pm »
I play D&D as well as DF--not at the same time, of course. I was thinking that it would be interesting to make an adventure set in a dwarven fortress. Therefore, I'd like to ask for links to DF fortress maps and/or something that can easily be copied to graph paper. Does anyone know of a site that would make for an interesting adventure?

Especially since zombie arms will also rise...

If only legs did, too. Of course, how would they kick?...But it would allow lower bodies to reanimate, too. Other nice things would be skulls and being able to animate whole skeletons, but oh well. Undead skin is pretty cool.

But you don't see the magma like you do the cave river and chasm.

And also in 2D you hit HFS before you hit the blue metal. (unless you were really really lucky)
Wouldn't the magma ALSO be before bluemetal? And HFS? And where did they get the blue weapons earlier, then?

Buy all of the nice animals for a few *dwarf syrup roast*s.

What would Urist do if he lived in Oceania (1984)?

*shakes peskyninja* UGH! WHERE DO DWARVES LIKE TO LIVE? VOLCANOES!

Ahem. Overall not a bad idea..
