Was making worlds with different starting parameters and got one some interesting results. Of the 80 generated civilizations, 11 have fallen 75 years in. Of the 69 remaining, the one with the highest population is actually a Star Sprite civilization with 1669 star sprites and various outcasts.

Hello! I was wondering if there’s any file changes I can make to make this mod function on 47.05. Currently when making a world any world bigger then the smallest setting seems to crash after 50 years. I just wanted to know as this mod seems really fun and I’d love to play it with all the additions of the villians release!

P.S. I do not know why it crashes. I’ve tried removing a few civs to see if that fixes it but it hasn’t worked so far

A big mod like this will probably take a while to update. I don't even think Indigo even has this mod still on his radar.

I haven't worked on this mod in ages (I don't think I even included Yoshi and Lakitu Cloud riding). I have bits and pieces of a half-done rebuild which changes a whole lot of things, but I kind of lost interest because of the stealthed creatures being invincible bug.  Many common creatures in this mod use hide abilities and I figured Toady would fix it at some point since it affects Vanilla, but he didn't and then I moved on to other things...

Well, between the Steam update and the upcoming Mario movie there may be renewed interest in ROTMK in the future. On that note, I found it funny that the movie trailer made the Koopas' punching bag enemies penguins, when Bumpties are the first invaders for Koopa players in this mod.  Fun coincidence there!

[Elf Lord]

If you ever do work on it again and need help with bug testing I’d be glad to help! This mods one of the more unique ones and it would be great to see new players enjoy it

[The Royal Plumber]

Man, I really hope you work on this again, It's honestly my preferred way to play Dwarf Fortress. I have been making a Stonesense sprite pack for it based on Super Mario RPG.

This mod with a fitting tileset and a new Kruggsmash video would bring a whole new wave of players.

My goodness, that is some awesome spritework!

So I've been going over the new graphics system and trying to figure out what is possible, in order to determine the best way to progress on this mod and update it for the Steam release.

So far, I'm thinking the best way to do it would be, as glossed over before, to keep only a small number of preset entities (Toads, Koopas, Shy Guys, Goombas, Bob-ombs, Beanish, maybe a few more) and have the rest of the entities be generic "archetypes" that pop up frequently throughout the Mario series (feudal, industrial, dapper, tribal, arctic, scholarly, thieving) each of which have multiple possible races they can be filled with. This can keep the world from being overcluttered by the vast number of races present throughout the series, while also increasing variety between worlds.

To cut back on spritework, many of the races should probably have the same or similarly-shaped bodies, since most are basically humanoid with animal heads, so they can all have the same clothing sprites.

There is also one idea that I suddenly had which, since it appears to be possible, is absolutely essential: the "suit" clothing item, if made of a particular creature's leather, should have its entire appearance based on that creature. Finally we can have a proper tanooki suit, penguin suit, frog suit...Yoshi suit...Nobody tell PETA.

It also means that we must finally address the forbidden question of what a naked Shy Guy looks like.

[Sir Shadow]

Aside from the playable races, I think the major trading ones are probably worth keeping because they can kind of make or break a Toad run depending on how things are going, so I think the following woud be nice to have as a civ:

Beanish
Mole People
Frog People
Goombas
Bob-Ombs

And maybe Bumpties (getting traders in winter is nice) and Pianta.

I like your archetype idea though Bandits, Craws, Doogans, and Squeeks could probably be merged into a general "thief group" civ of some kind

[Sir Shadow]

I have been fooling around with a toad sprite, but I'm having trouble with the shroom.

The body layers


If you're wondering why their innards are green, it's because vim is green /shrug.

[Lidku]

lol

[Sir Shadow]

I had a fun idea for the toad sprites. By using the layering system to choose a base shroom color and then layer a color/pattern on top of that, you can create more variability for fun visuals. Anyways, I've moved on to the head details for the sprite.



Just working on pattern readability.

Bit on a newbie with the DF texturing, but would be willing to help with stuff!

My thinking is that getting a small Core-mod on the workshop should be priority #1, something playable with the core content.
Would be good for the movie coming out, and then getting a new Kruggsmash video. Maybe advertise a bit to places like /r/Marioverse and other Mario fans.

Would recommend doing a post on the DF(kitfox) discord

[Sir Shadow]

I've finished a first run through of some Toad graphics if anyone wants to take a look. I plan on adding some facial features and hair eventually (not really much to do since they have no noses or ears). Note, that this is just the graphics and I haven't even touched the file for putting it all together yet.

A good way moving forward might have to be having the other races as optional add ons instead if included by default. From what I can tell some of the civs are whats leading the the game crashing in world gen
