Something I am working on:

I'm assuming that's alchemy, or at least additional plants. I'm hyped. Are we looking at a small addition/change or a much larger update?

[Deon]

That's a Masterwork tileset adapted to work with the mod. A lot of plant edits and re-edits, basically I had to change most of the tiles in the raws + create some new images for TES plants... It took me a working day with breaks to actually work .


Here's the current version:
http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=14950

The tileset is 32x32. The creatures are still 18x18, if people show interest in this, I will also rework and implement Meph's 32x32 tileset for creatures, and add TES creatures to it.

A brief update, fixed the dagger graphics:


I would appreciate any playtesting capacity. If you find issues with the new graphical overrides, let me know and I will quickly fix them.

Definitely would love to have tiles for the various plants! (:

[Deon]

They are included, you can check. If something looks off, let me know.

Release 23

Some new plants (garlic, pumpkins).

Garlic, onion and leek provide infection cure.

Meph tileset officially implemented, check the screenshots in the first post.

[Deon]

I see 3 people downloaded Graphical version already. It was missing some keybindings.
Basically you could simply take interface.txt from any of new DF releases and it would fix it (mostly new adventure mode keybindings were affected).
I have reuploaded a version with proper key binds.

[Meph]

Are you aware that those exist?

You could ask the authors if you might use them.

Edit: Have you tried planting a few of the giant cavern mushrooms on the surface?
Edit2: "twbt redraw_all 1" means there are no black background or pixel artefacts while scrolling, and it activated the animations, but might cause instability. Just saying.

[Deon]

Thank you. I had no idea those existed. What's the source so I could find the authors?
"twbt redraw_all 1" <- I haven't tested the difference with/without it extensively so decided not to set it up yet, but I will look into it, thank you!

I've continued playing and have been loving the new addition of Meph's tileset. It's always been my favorite. Great job on integrating it!

That being said, I've noticed one thing that seems a bit extreme. Imps seem to frequently spawn in the top layer of the cavern. To a point where I've been hit by a giant herd of them within the first year every time I've ever gone to the cavern layer. They climb like nobody's business and will always find their way into your fortress or near where you've started setting up. I'm always down for early fights against tough enemies in the caverns (Had a troll find its way in and had to fight it off), but imps seem a bit over the top. I know they throw fire in the games, but fire in Dorf Fort is a much different beast. Any dwarf hit by it is more or less guaranteed to die. On top of that, the underground is heavy with flora everywhere, so a single fireball will cause mass destruction on a borderline nuclear level.

I've gone ahead and removed their fire abilities on my end just to make things a bit less crazy (although they'll probably end up being ridiculously weak without it, I imagine). But as a recommendation, it might be better to put them on a lower cavern level so the first cavern level ends up being less extreme. Especially given a lot of embarks may need to hit it in order to get water ASAP. Either that or give them a ranged ability that is fireball in name only, but causes direct burns or something similar to avoid having true Dorf Fort fire hit.

EDIT: Also, just a side note, but Morrowind in the pregenerated world seems a bit too... Green. I was expecting something a bit more dead. But maybe there's lore there I'm unfamiliar with.

[Deon]

The Morrowind is green not due to lore, but because Evilness is randomly generated on the map gen. If I marked it as Evil area, it would work fine, but then worldgen has trouble generating worlds due to other parameters. I will look into creating an evil map but that will require more playtesting to make it work properly.

Regaring imps, they use the crundle as a template for the creature, and crundles don't throw fireballs. That's an oversight on my part, I will look into correcting it, thank you for the feedback! That is the kind of information I really appreciate, since I don't have much time to play recently due to this quarantine thing/troubles with work. Thank you!

[Meph]

Can't you make it more arid? Deserts, badlands?

[Deon]

From the lore it was actually mostly swamps. Only the volcano event has caused the Ashlands. I will see what I can do . Too bad dunmer rarely settle there.
