Ok, I will write a graphics file for them then and add them in the next update. None of the sprites are original content, they are all just copied, made grey, and got red eyes.

Edit: Here, for testers:

[IndigoFenix]

I'll check.
Oh, that reminds me.  Can you add the ghost/zombie/skeleton graphics to the gnome file?  They're in the graphics image already (next to the miner, near the top left) but I wasn't able to get them to work.

[Meph]

Ghost is just one sprite, zombie/skeleton doesnt exist anymore, the wiki is outdated. But there is one "animated" sprite for each, so I will have a look. Shouldnt be too hard.

Your profession sprites look very similar, I think the gnome sprites could be improved a bit. I mean the blue and brown lines, with copy/paste gnomes. I assume they need different tools in their hands, or other outfits. I might try my hand on these as well.. I wanted to do human graphics today anyway.

[Meph]

I tested the 25 pet sprites, they work fine.

I did not do anything on the gnome ghosts/animated ones.

And I still have this error in dfhack, when it starts up:

Code: [Select]

\Dwarf Fortress\hack\scripts/construct-creature.lua:563: attempt to get length of global 'args' (a nil value)

[Corundum]

Deleted by OP because irrelevant.

[palu]

There's no wind there, mabye try building them somewhere else, but wind might be the same the whole embark.

[omniclasm]

Do any of the special armors work?

Just tried rocket boots and couldn't tell a difference.

[Corundum]

I guessed that was the reason why they didn't work. I've never encountered no wind before on any of my previous embarks so I was a bit puzzled.

I noticed that nature really, really hates me (-39,000 at one point). Could it be because I caged so many creatures? Had a gnome die?

Related to this, when I went to release some creatures into the wild to help my rating, I assigned them to a pasture on the Nature Shrine. After the gnome released them, another gnome came along and put the animal back on the pasture again, despite it being a wild animal at this point.

This isn't the worst part.

When I tried to unassigned the creatures to the pasture while the gnome was leading it there, the gnome started spamming "cant do X, handing dangerous creature.". I had to make some cages for them to put the wild animals in for them to stop spamming error messages, then build the cages, connect to a lever and release them that way. This only happened if the gnome hadn't put the animal on the pasture yet and I unassigned the animal to the pasture.

Also, large glass pistons cant be used for the seismic telegraph.

[zach123b]

is it just me or is starting up a metal industry with just a pick a tad difficult? i can't find a way to purify the ores, resulting in 20% or so chance of getting the metal..
i'm ending up with a whole lot of slag just to get enough metal for pipes and a sawblade..

and is there any vermin hunters the gnomes get? i never seem to find them in the list

[Meph]

The Arc furnace does purify ore...

[omniclasm]

The problem is that it takes a lot of ore to even make an arc furnace...so you're basically just smelting for a 10% gain until that point.

[zach123b]

sorry, i meant before the arc furnace.  it's a long grind to get up to it, i wrote the pipes and sawblade thinking about getting the blocks to make walls within the first year

[Meph]

In that case you have to wait for IndigoFenix to say something. Its probably intended.

[greycat]

OK, this seismic telegraph thing has me stumped.

In the Clawedgears tutorial fortress, the narrator mentions using "a few of the mechanisms" to build a seismic telegraph.  How?

In the Gnome Manual that ships with MWDF, the *Buildings* page says it requires "1 Metal bar, 4 Mechanisms, 8 Gears".  I can't figure out how to make gears, either.

If you actually try to build one in-game (b w Alt-q) it says "Needs heavy rock piston".  I've looked through most of the workshops I can make for an option to make a rock piston, and can't find one.

[omniclasm]

Metalsmith's forge, under trap components (I think)
