Why is it none of the game stores around here have used copies of Disgaia? I want to see what all the fuss is about!

This is probably going to be moddable once all the workshops are tagged like the smelter currently is. It's not going to be easy. Or quick. (Much like your adventurers' deaths.)

So if you leave a piece of sod out, mules will spontaneously generate from it similarly to how flies were thought to spontaneously generate from rotting meat?

To my knowledge, it is not currently possible to have a creature drop another (living) creature as a corpse. Otherwise I'd have "possessed peasants" dropping "exorcised peasants" when defeated, and birds that drop their own corpse plus sometimes an egg that hatches (dies of old age) into a baby of the same species after a while. "Eggshell has been struck down."

Or tie the eyestalks in a knot. Then tear the nose off with your left elbow.

Pretty sure it'd be the latter. After all, there's no option yet to create an airtight suit of armor out of a given material--otherwise, we'd have our diving suits!

You forgot making Unicorns Civ-Controllable so you can actually have Charlie. XD

You mentioned not being able to mod doors... It's a sad thing that the three glasses are hardcoded materials, because doors made of glass are called "portals" and would thus be PERFECT for this mod!

How about glass spears? A wooden shaft with a small sharp piece of glass on the end. It has the reach of a spear and the sharpness of a glass weapon without being too brittle to wield.

DF Modding / Creature corpse -> another creature?
« on: November 29, 2007, 06:40:00 pm »
Is it possible to use the ITEMCORPSE tag in a creature to drop another living creature? I had the idea that this could be used for multi-part boss-esque monsters, that just when you think you've killed them, shed their former husk to be a new more powerful thing, or a demon-possessed villager or creature that, when defeated, spawns the "original" benign creature.
Goes without saying I don't expect things as fancy as, say, lopped off limbs translating to the "dropped creature" or decapitations killing both. Heck, it worked for Xinchub...

DF Modding / Re: Looking forward to civ modding possibilities
« on: January 04, 2008, 11:35:00 am »
Also means my fox mod will be postponed since I have a vulpine civ as part of it.
On the plus side, this will give me more time to hammer out the language file, which is taking an awfully long time. How did Toady and Armok do their language files (Toady: the normal ones, Armok: hornets), make some syllables and shove it through a random pattern generator? Or do I just have insufficient self-control to work out a unique word for each translation in under a month? >_>
