DF Community Games & Stories / Re: Ubenudil, Soaplanterns - Soapmaker's Guild Fort
« on: June 02, 2011, 07:30:49 pm »[Check the third post in the thread for current dwarf list. I'll update the image rather than keep making new posts which get buried all the time.Hey, that's a good idea. Don't forget skills! I'd like to know how Ubendastot is going with his marksdwarf training.
Hm...Does he have a kill yet? If not, he'll likely ask to either practice on some wildlife or practice "Bessie Jr."
He might also suggest reinforcing Bessie's fortifications--bowmen can't fire through thick fortifications because the second one is two tiles aw...wait. Ah, nevermind. Maybe a catapult tower? Stone stockpile, some catapults firing over the walls with their own fortifications to protect them? Thought...

At some point when you have time, would you mind posting skills and stuff for the dwarfed dwarves?

DF Suggestions / Re: Why not release 31.26 now?
« on: June 01, 2011, 05:42:55 pm »As much as we'd all like to see the new version now, I'm sure we'd also like to see it without any major bugs and with each of the new features feeling fleshed out.I'm not aware of any bugs; that is actually why I suggested noting major and/or entertaining bugs.
And now for the old cliche;
It'll be done when it's done
Toady's longer dev benders usually involve tearing up huge swathes of code and then reshaping them. This is not an altogether clean process, and usually involves, after doing his work, going back and smoothing out all of the seams and rips he's left behind. Were he to release now without finishing his work and damage control, the new features would almost certainly be tricky to really access, given entire frameworks of integral code would be still kinda hanging around dangling loose....That is an interesting analogy, as well as an enlightenment into Toady's style.
3.) The town maps aren't done yet, and Toady wants to still add furniture placement and markets.Ah...This is the kind of not-previously-aware-of knowledge I was looking for.
So it's a combination of all three, assuming that sponsorship animals fall under 1.), and that future bugs he works out pre-release fall under 2). Since he has mentioned that furniture placement should happen with haunted houses, 1.) and 3.) might be too intermingled at this point, and it seems he wants to "cap" town development with the actual markets.
(Also, it won't be 31.26, but 32.01 or perhaps even 33.01)

DF Modding / Re: What have I done?
« on: June 01, 2011, 05:12:09 pm »I'd remove the spaces.Copied from the badger man.
In my own experience in coding various programs and files, spaces create problems. Use underscores instead.
Otherwise, check if all the types match up. If you've copied it from the badger entry, it might still be an animal, rather than a humanoid.
Of course, bat men have a different body shape than badger/rat/lizard/etc men.I'm not too sure of how COPY_TAGS works, but you have an error.Actually, badger men are [CREATURE:BADGER MAN] and giant badgers are [BAGDER, GIANT]. So I doubt that that's the problem.
Replace [CREATURE:BADGER MAN, GIANT] with [CREATURE:BADGER_MAN_GIANT], that should solve one of your problems.
I attempted to scrounge up the BAT_MAN creature, and I have noticed a lack of body tokens. Maybe this will fix it?Code: [Select][GO_TO_TAG:BODY]
[CV_REMOVE_TAG:BODY]
[APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION]
[BODY:HUMANOID_FLIER:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:4FINGERS:4TOES:MOUTH:EYELIDS:CHEEKS:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_LARGE_EYE_TEETH:RIBCAGE]
Of course, modify those. We don't want gigantic flying winged humanoid badgers now, do we?
Also, you forgot "giant."
Umm... Don't Remove BODY? That seems just wrong. Do not use creature variations if you're having trouble, just edit a copy of the original creature into your new thing. (go_to_end is useful for select tissue, select material, select caste statements)Then, A. Why is it "CV_REMOVE_TAG", B. Why is it CHANGE_BODY_SIZE_PERC, a variation tag, and C. Why does it matter? Giant badgers have that tag.
Also, I think [CV_REMOVE_TAG:CHANGE_BODY_SIZE_PERC] attempts to remove a tag from the creature, not from the CV template.
I'd remove the spaces.So do references to nonexistent files or creatures or whatnot.
In my own experience in coding various programs and files, spaces create problems. Use underscores instead.
Otherwise, check if all the types match up. If you've copied it from the badger entry, it might still be an animal, rather than a humanoid.

I don't know of GO_TO_START or why it would be there. Same with GO_TO_END. Considering that there's no nesting or break statements, if that were a loop, it'd be an instant crash because one of the first tags in it sends it to the start of the file.Yeah, that's just like the GB raws.
If you're using it as it appears in a file I don't know of, carry on.

DF Suggestions / Why not release 31.26 now?
« on: June 01, 2011, 06:22:32 am »
Unless I am mistaken, Toady One has developed:
-New town designs, including sewers and catacombs
-Necromancers
-Dissectable undead
-Tombs with undead guardians and traps
-Werewhatevers
-A bit of major bugfixing for all of the above
So either:
1.) Toady wants to finish some other critters before releasing 31.26, or
2.) Toady has found some bugs that he wants to fix and hasn't mentioned.
If 1, I'd be fine with 31.26 now, but I can see Toady's point of view and I'm sorry to have wasted his time. If 2, I suggest that you mention any major and/or entertaining bugs you find if possible.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Werecapybara, wereskunk, were...?
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:07:07 pm »
One scary thing about werecarp:
If they are aquatic, they can't breathe air. If it manages to maul a few dwarves anyway, they will turn into rabid infectious air-drowning agents of Armok McDavyJones. They might air-drown, or they might go to water, change back, and water-drown. If anyone else got infected, they would continue the cycle indefinitely. Werecarp spiral.
I really hope werecarp will be amphibious.

DF General Discussion / Re: Dwarf Fortress is soo realistic...
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:01:13 pm »I have changed my mind. After reading other peoples' thoughts, I think that pits of slowly-disintegrating zombies would be awesome.Because of that, only some zombie parts should become their own entity.Eww...
Imagine being chased by zombie guts...
I think that A. This thread has been derailed and B:
Zombies rely only on their head, but other parts will not be effective if removed from the chunk of body that includes the head.
Skeletons should require total disassembly (or at least enough that no body part has more than one joint) to be destroyed.
Zombies should attack in hordes (2-3x the size of normal herds/packs); skeletons should only attack in groups slightly smaller than normal herds/packs.

« on: May 31, 2011, 08:53:15 pm »It is also possible that no EarthGov civ was added, or that they don't have access to your site, or that they are the default civ (maybe; I haven't downloaded this mod and don't know much about Dead Space).Necro im having the same problem there heres a way around that create two human named like earth human or some thing it will help thats just my two cents throughI think there's no EarthGov at all. If EarthGov had been actually in, we'd see two "Humans" at the start screen, at the very least.
