I seem to be having trouble with dfhack and this mod. I lave the latest versions of both installed (64 bit) and can run the game just fine without dfhack, but for whatever reason I cannot start a game or load a previous one while dfhack is active. The game just closes with no error or anything. Help, please!

Nvm I figured it out. Need to use alpha 1 of dfhack instead of alpha 2 :\

Hi Coolerz. I'm glad you were able to get it running. I still highly recommend leaving DFHack off during world gen and loading.

Now that the 64-bit Start Pack has been updated with DFHack, it's close to time to release v36. Any suggestions, feature requests, or new adventure class ideas are welcome.

Minor bug report.  I set my mayor's suite to be engraved, and upon returning, was presented with this;



It is attempting to match the content of the engraving with closest available graphic.

That is a weird one. I'm not really sure what I would have done to cause it.

So I should just copy and paste the raw folder from your latest release to the 43.03 one I am playing?

Also did you ever fix the bug where when one of your dwarfs  in fort mode would  become instantly hostile to your other dwarfs  upon learning a secret?

Correct, copy and paste away then generate a new world.

And it is still possible for Dwarfs to become instantly hostile upon learning certain secrets. It's a feature. But, if you have lots of problems with it let me know the details and I'll take a closer look.

It makes sense to keep the 32-bit version alive so I've added a link to the OP:
(v33a) 32-bit Utility Friendly PC Start Pack: (old)

I downloaded the ASCII 0.43.05 version of W&M. While checking it for compatibility, I might have found a few problems
The mod includes a few vanilla files from previous versions of Dwarf Fortress.

Files identical to old vanilla files:
   body_default.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.01
   creature_next_underground.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.04
   creature_standard.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.03
   plant_crops.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.02
   plant_standard.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.02
   reaction_adv_carpenter.txt - from Dwarf Fortress v0.43.02

I think there also might be some parts of the entity_default.txt file that are from older versions of Dwarf Fortress.


It might be easier to keep your mod updated if you stop bundling it with Dwarf Fortress and use the "reduced raw" format instead (by only including the files that the mod modifies).

It looks like W&M might only need to modify these files:

raw/objects:
   book_art.txt
   book_instruction.txt
   entity_default.txt
   inorganic_stone_mineral.txt
   material_template_default.txt

data/init:
   world_gen.txt

By keeping it the mod separate from the vanilla files, it makes it harder to accidentally include old vanilla files. This format also make it easier for users to mix different mods together and allows them to easily see if two mods are trying to edit the same file.

Thank you for the comparative report. v35b has been released, which updates the six raws. The tweaked vanilla entity raw I will review for the next DF update, which appears to be soon.

Is there a place I can check for some information about some of the mods features? For example, silk worms. I just noticed that my stock of starting silk worms are dying off, is there a way I can breed them?

[edit] nvrmnd, figured it out. Nest boxes, should have known. Still the other question though. Is there something like a "Dark Ages II wiki?"

It has been a long time since I started a Wiki. The main issue is time. I'm currently developing several other games/mods (including Mars 2030 1.2) and a Pathfinder book. It actually takes me longer to create a Wiki (or a detailed guidebook or website) than it does to add new content or write code. At some point I hope to have the time (and energy) to fully document W&M, but since DF and this mod are constantly updated it represents a formidable challenge.

I'm willing to at least start a Wiki at some point soon. Especially if more players express an interest in it.

GM-X, reactions that use metal bars need to consume 150 BAR, rather than 1, for each bar you want them to use, since a single bar of metal has a product dimension of 150.

Thank you for informing me Thuellai. Using the [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT] tag is why I'm getting away with 1.

Okay. I've updated the code block in reply #696. Copy and paste it again and it should at let you use the old stockpile method  + fuel in your current world while I look into this further.

Yup, it's better now.

Regarding Rockforges:
I tried making a gem block. A large gem was moved into the workshop.
At the end of the "make gem block" order, the large gem was still there, seemingly unchanged, and there was no gem block anywhere.
The large gem didn't count as a block either (I couldnt use it for a well).

Okay, copy and overwrite the following code block into your saved game raws and gem blocks should work too:

Version W&M v35a has just been released which should mostly resolve the issues reported by who_cares. Only the download release date/time has changed as usual for hot fixes. 

Regarding those new weapon reactions you added:
I've tried forging scythes, sickles and broad axes so far, the forging doesn't use any fuel, you can't choose what material to forge them out of (unless you setup stockpiles the old way I guess?), and more importantly a single "make scythe", "make sickle" "make broad axe" reaction gives you DOZENS of such weapons out of a single bar.

Hi who_cares. I uploaded v35a with no release notes. Please overwrite the following block of code in the reaction_dark_ages.txt file in your saved game raws and let me know if this resolves the issue:
