Wait for Next Version, Use current (.40.24,) or use older release (.34.11?)

Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I got amazingly sidetracked by games such as Factorio '^^

Shame; I recall looking forward to messing with attack RAWs...

Factorio is fun, even for those confined to the demo.

Wouldn't know about the demo; I saw it on YouTube and went "BUYIN' THIS!!"

35 euros later I am having the time of my life.

I'm afraid that I am confined to encouragement and (possibly, though not likely) writing/drawing. DF has never worked well on my computers, and I always get distracted by easier games when I lose a year or two of progress due to a crash. Most of the RAW changes you want would come in YEARS into the Fortress, or have an unforeseen impact at such time, that I would not be able to test. But I'll be sure to snark at you guys when something goes wrong. :p

The only thing I've done is fiddle with the barbarians (which was easy since it was mainly just copying and modifying the human creature raws.) I haven't thought to do anything else because the game isn't functioning quite right yet anyway, though it's finally getting there.

Might as well do it now, I think. I don't really see any reason not to; Toady generally doesn't add new tags during bugfix releases.

Well, most creatures are just modified dwarves/humans in some manner and you have most of the other race mods and actually know what goes with what. All I know how to do is add a few tags, change learn rates, and move around or replace some colors. The rest is weapons and possibly a single workshop for making advanced weapons. I can handle making the weapons for the barbarians myself of course, and was even thinking about making a good and proper mod for them.

I really don't feel up to updating all of the creatures from the mod myself, though.

Understandable man. I'm honestly just kinda putting it off and putting it off because I just don't feel like it. Nobody said we had to be ready quick as possible though.

Why do I get the feeling that "I just don't feel like it" is going to become a running theme... :V

Hey guys. sorry I disappeared again. Been dealing with drama at home, which turned into some depression issues... Trying to work through it, though.

Mr Frog - just realized I have a PM from you I needed to reply to for a couple weeks. >.< Was NOT intentional. Getting to that first thing tomorrow.

That's almost what I was going to do '^^

I was going to take a slightly more visceral approach to it with a tad ((re: A LOT)) of reading into quantum-temporal physics beforehand ((which has been done for months '^^))...

MSPA is down, so I can't finish Homestuck, so I'll get to writing, then ^w^ Where did I leave my notes...

That last bit about the book keeper was great.
