Your zebras have a pretty funny language.

Also look at the bottom of the language files. It might be that the generator you used is buggy.

I'll need to make another testfort.

Some of the changes:
-Darktone has been taken out. Unity will use a variety of existing magic alloys, from felsteel to silksteel.
-"Chitin bars" have also been taken out. Chitin is processed into bonemold chunks instead, and they are used in biometal reactions.
-Item thieves probably exist now.

This week has been productive. I've made many fixes and tweaks to things, and re-wrote the readme for 2.4. Hopefully, it's better.

I'll probably put up the new version on the weekend.

[Valikdu]

Well, I think I'll release it now.

The new version is downloaded here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=7264

Is there any chance of making a plain ASCII version of this mod, so we can just change out the raws? It would really help those of us who either don’t use DFHack or play Dwarf Fortress on Mac or Linux.

Well, as I didn't really do anything outside of the raw files, you can just change out the raws anyway...

Here's a totally clean version with no DFHack or tiles: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8531

[Alestance]

How much inspiration has been taken from previous generations of My Little Pony? There's far more to Generation 1 than sunshine and rainbows. Liches, warlocks, and demons lurk in Dream Valley.

[Sytel]

Good to see this is still being updated! I've been playing the new version a lot-- or trying to. Still getting a lot of crashes when butchering.
Anyone else getting this? Any idea why it could be?

[Valikdu]

The crashes with butchering *should* be gone.

In the last version, I've changed all the entity member creatures' body templates to "vanilla" style (as in, the materials and tissues belong to the particular creature, and not a generic creature). Entity members with "generic" materials were causing the crashes, I think.

In the last test, I've butchered all kinds of things without crashing. What are you trying to butcher?

[Sytel]

Invaders, mostly. But sometimes it also happens with lesser ponies.
I have a save where it's seconds away from happening, if you'd like to see... not sure what would be the best way of getting it to you, but I could email it or maybe upload it to DFFD?

[Valikdu]

DFFD, maybe?

*sigh* I'm not sure why it happens, now.
From what I've observed, the problematic tissues are the ones that are producing globs or meat on butchering.
If the creature is a member of an entity, and if the material is defined outiside in a generic creature, they'd sometimes (?) produce unstockpilable "*** muscle tissue", for example; even though the arena  butchering worked fine. As this isn't normal, I think it's what crashes the game.
The "vanilla DF way" is to have materials defined inside each creature, so I've switched back to that for the problematic tissues. I've butchered dozens of invaders and lesser ponies in the final 2.4 test, and got normal meat and no crashing.

The normal animal, pony, tainted pony, "dark voice", superior and alicorn body detail plans are all with local materials.

Thanks! Is there anything in here that actually requires DFhack? Thanks to crashing on WINE, this is pretty much a God-send.

I much prefer ASCII, and I’ll transfer the raws over to the Mac version of Dwarf Fortress. I’m probably going to start a community or succession fortress - the only extra mods will probably be that civilisations will build cities (wait, are there aquifers in this mod?) and roads, unless they happen to inhabit caves, which ensures they all appear in the game. Not that, like, that will be an issue once DF2014 is out but I don’t know when that is.

Also you have or had compressed saves turned off on the DFhack version. That caused a few jaw-drops before I realised why the saves were so huge.

You’re actually using the DF2010 language files. I’d really like to see the uhhh....... redacted words....... stay in the language but it may be worth it to upgrade. There’s a merged version of the DF2012 language raws on DFFD with the redacted words restored.

[Valikdu]

Is there anything in here that actually requires DFhack?

There was a bunch of useful scripts there, like the growth bug fixer and the autobutcher.

wait, are there aquifers in this mod?

I've disabled the aquifers some time ago.

There’s a merged version of the DF2012 language raws on DFFD with the redacted words restored.

Could you point me to them, please?

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5496 has the redacted words restored.

The deal with aquifers is usually cities need to be built over them, so they can have wells.

Edit: I tried a new fortress with the ASCII version - the tiles came out quite messed up. This happens when transforming from Phoebus or the other sets back to ASCII.

[Valikdu]

The ASCII should be better now... I've put the aquifers back in, as well.
