After this last update I really hope Toady puts a bit of priority on deeper item manipulation in adventure mode :( I really wish he'd take a good solid mod that already has the base format set up, flip through it and Toadyize it, and then add it to vanilla :> I love that he generally does his own work, but some of these modded bits really belong in vanilla DF..

Anyway, here's hoping, all the way around!

Well Deon's mod looks cool, but it really isn't Wanderer's Friend at all.  I think there must (?!) be a lot of people looking for a pure WF update, so... erm... is one in the works?  I didn't realize that WF changed the creatures, so I guess this might be a bigger job than I thought, but perhaps all the changes required would be regular/uniform?  e.g. all the Reactions now need x, all the Creatures now need y, and so on.  I have no idea what these new things would be so I would only really do this if I HAD to look into it...  :'(
I am not sure, but if I remember correctly the changes to the creatures were to make them drop things useful for crafting, either directly or through butchering, and possibly also to balance what it dropped to make it reasonably difficult to get what you need for crafting.  So I would start looking there.  I am not sure if there were other changes to creatures.

Also, at least in 40.02 you could butcher sapients (i.e. elves), so there's some extra motivation for you...

That's good to know.  Just been reading through the WF readme, and I would be inclined to cut the added animal materials and the fortress mode stuff and just focus on the adventurer interactions.  If those would work reasonably with stock animals and materials, that would be great.  And I have yet to look at butchering sentients, but taking trophies from kills has been something I've wanted to do properly for ages so... I might take a stab at this.

The pertinent section reads...

Quote from: Lofn
A more in-depth explanation of the material mod
-----------------------------------------------
With this mod, new materials are added via creature variations, resulting in a decrease in imaginary materials like 'worm fur', 'blue jay hide' and the like, which occur due to the standard material and tissue allocation tokens giving products to creatures that cannot actually be butchered.  Variations are also easier to modify and maintain than individual assignments, and faster to apply to new creatures.

So not using the Wanderer's Friend materials (which would be ideal as it is kind of a workaround in itself, and I like mods that change vanilla as little as possible) relies on 0.40.1+ butchering animals more properly.  Which according to the devlog...

Quote from: Toady
All jobs that affect body components (anything that uses bone, for example) will now carve away pieces of the body component, which'll leave a "partially butchered" wound type on the limbs etc. that were used in jobs if the skeleton is animated. Leather from skins is still not computed according to size, though -- that's a slightly more difficult problem since they use a custom product tag for tanning.

...Should be the case. .. ..... ... ?

Hello. Does it count as a necro if I'm bumping my own thread?

I've been away from the Dwarf Fort community for something like three years now, but I dug this thread up today on an unrelated matter and I was reminded of how engaging it was. Would people still be interested in an update of this mod to work with the most recent DF release? If so, please post. Additionally, please post any ideas and requests you would have for a crafting-focused mod that are not already represented (or represented poorly) in other mods.

Hey! Glad you are back!
I already did something similar:
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140950.0

If you want we can collaborate, or you could revive this with all new features. I would love to see any development.

Hi! I'll give it a look when I get back from Serious Real World Business later on. Would be good to collaborate with someone again, but it has been a long time since I've touched raws and I will need to relearn everything.

Wanderer's Friend was the only mod I ever used for DF, I'm surprised I missed the one you made Deon.

You seem to be quite obsessed with fire men :). Ever tried to call 911?

Ah, this is a classic. I'm yet another modder that's tweaked various things taken from this mod for my own use.

I'm tempted just to eyeball this mod's last version and re-tweak it just to put it back up to DF2014 standards. But for know I'll add some of my own notes about issues and fixes. Spoilers will be due to somewhat long notes and copy-pastes of raw editing.

About hair, bones, and the DF2014 changes to them (see also: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=3712):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Poisons (I've said it before and I'll say it again, decorating with venom DOES NOT WORK):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On gathering wood, and other plant lunacy:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

On bone crafts and redundant reactions:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I hope Lofn or others find these useful. From what I've seen of Deon's take it definitely is a good port to DF2014, but it still might suffer from the material tweaks.

Thanks for the post. When I get more than half an hour of motivation to go over this again I'll be sure to incorporate them.

Oh god I just noticed you can do that with putting in a dagger instead of a stone for the carving... I mean you don't actually need that part, but it makes sense and all, and gives a use for the dagger you start out with.
