I have no idea if that would work, but sure, I could add blood sucking to their bite attack. If you go into creature_spellcrafts_megabeasts and search "CREATURE:SPELLCRAFTS_PRIMEVAL_VAMPIRE" and then search "[ATTACK:BITE" it should take you to their bite attack, and you can paste in [SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD:100:1000] after the [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH] line, and that should let you do it in your next playthrough without waiting for an update, which will be a couple weeks at least because I'm tracking down a crash issue with ghouls (I think) right now.


[edit]

I did test it and it will in fact result in acquiring any ingestible enters_blood syndromes, youre correct. So I'll include it in the next update. You'd have to bite several times to kill even a kobold from blood loss, though, unless you turn the maximum amount up to like 10,000, then there's a chance of killing humans and dwarves with only a few bites.

Is anyone playing this mod with some graphic tileset (Mephs/Vettlingr's)?
Could you share your setup?
I wonder if it would be possible to use that mod with LNB?

I'm sorry to hurry you but I wish to inquire, how is the update going? When will it be out?

[Eric Blank]

I dont have a good answer for that, Im still working on bugs, it could be a couple weeks or next month. The ghouls are still acting up and causing crashes in worldgen, for one.

[delphonso]

Hopefully the new bugfix will help with the crash issues.

Gonna try this mod out in 47.05 anyway and see if anything bad happens.

[Eric Blank]

My dev version shows no issues migrating, so there shouldnt be. The crash caused by too many fish has not been fixed, it appears, so be sure to set merriment and leisure time to negative numbers in entity_default!

The mod-related issue with ghouls as a night creature instead of just undead raised by disease sphere secrets is taking too long to figure out. May release a new version today or tomorrow without them.

[Kyuuketsuki_23]

I'm sorry to hurry you once more but I want to inquire, how's the issue with ghouls? Do you have an approximate idea of when the update will be out?

I am looking forward to a fix for that issue with Primeval Vampires not sucking blood with each bite I mentioned earlier, too.

I'll be patiently waiting for the update, though. Take as much time as you'd need, all I do is merely ask how soon you'll be done.

Are my dwarves suppose to able to fish up raw essences?

Yes, I felt that these things may as well be available in the natural world, i.e. magic occurs as much naturally as implemented by mortal or divine hand. Fishing is the way they occur at the moment, but trapping is also an option. I want to make it specific to biomes that have specific sphere associations in the future, but that wont be possible until the myth and magic update is released, so for now they're available in regular rivers, lakes and pools.

I could upload one now, but I'm still encountering various bugs and crashes, such as balmleaf plants not being farmable and alchemy reactions not working properly, and a worldgen crash I'm trying to track down (Although its frustratingly rare and I'm not sure if its not just DF in general crashing, not necessarily something Spellcrafts related)

The primeval vampires are sucking blood properly, though!

Cool, just wanted to make sure. I noticed it at first when making custom stocking piles and was a bit confused.

Edit

I'm using your mod with a mod that adds in some powerful enemies. It's hilarious to watch the high tier beasts run in from the sides of the map and be turned into toads and the like!

[Eric Blank]

I'm trying to set up a release now, but I'm still trying to figure out whats causing this worldgen crash, so it may not be until next week.

[Dunmeris]

Is it alright if I "borrow" (and mostly heavily change) some things from this mod? I'll have a doc in the mod providing full credits.

[Eric Blank]

Of course, go ahead.

Also, ill be releasing the update this weekend finally, no resolution on the wg crash but its not super frequent so you can still generate worlds. It might just be a bug with df...

[Eric Blank]

New version has finally been uploaded (internet was being stubborn)

Thanks for the hard work, Eric - will be sure to give it a play soon.
