Times like these make me wonder whether Github's a good idea...

To put it this way, the guy rooting for them to use github in the original said this was a better idea.

Edit: Maybe some kind of combined idea where at the end of a turn you add to github your turn, and all contributions, so all contributions go through the current turn holder?

Double Edit: Quick fix, file compare-er.

I just leave for a few months and THIS IS WHAT I GET?!

i cri Not really, mistakes happen. At least someone realised it in time.

Though no wonder people weren't commenting on the animals I put in. This also means people hadn't played fortress mode since then, since if I recall correctly, my animals were the only wagon-pullers ingame.

...What.

This is how I though using github (or some alternative with better reputation) would go, with the current modder approving smaller additions during his as he seeks fit. Was the only reason for us not using it because people thought we would all blast additions to it concurrently? Heck no, that would be chaotic.

That ended up being how github was used in prior editions. Chaos, madness, etc. And not of the good kind.

Well, we do, but the thing is, if a past file needs fixing, or gets changed, it screws things up

So, I was running my initial test run of the clay people, when I found something rather unexpected...



How in the nine fucks did that get down there?

Anyone know if there's a downside to not giving non-playable entities access to clothing? I know with playable entities everyone gets miserable, but will the same happen with others?

I don't think so. I'm fairly certain that emotions really only have an effect during fort mode.

I don't think the game even emulates emotions outside of on-map characters in fortress mode.

i'm not a good enough modder to do anything other than copy/paste/slightly change, but how about this idea? a "hellicopter" it has classes of extradimensional and inorganic. it has four rotors and one grasper
and should be similar to being evil flying kobolds. rare castes of hellicopters come with the ability to shoot bullets at your... trolls? anyone want to add this for me?

It emulates emotion in adventurer mode aswell. Actually.Also presumably entities without clothing wont sell clothing in adventure mode either. Also when they come to your fort they will obviously have no clothes..and everywhere else in the world they will have no clothes.

Ethics can't really be changed mid-game. I've heard that the behavior of the civ is affected by the personality of its leader aswell, but not entirely sure about that matter.

Hacky way, make four copy-paste entities that use the same creature, except in terms of ethics. Make the leader position only be able to be occupied by the caste that reflects the chosen civ's ethics. Make sure to limit the max civ numbers though, otherwise you'll have 4x as many similar-looking entities.

Yes it is effected by its leaders personality.
