I made an animation all about the corrupt and ally recruit

here's the comic I was referencing
Oh and while I'm on a Dfhack race conversion discovery buzz you don't mind if I modify your version with a small code that converts others into corrupted or ice people?

I wouldn't mind in the slightest.  Unfortunately, as I recently switched to a Mac, DFhack and the like do not work for me, so I will miss out on the rampant fire/ice wars that will inevitably result.  That means you'll just have to keep me posted.  My brilliant plan to draw people in to corrupts forever is slowly taking hold!

[Rumrusher]

ice v. fire wars more likely be one crazed corrupted punching the chest of another human then running away to look at it turn into a corrupted and start the process all over again.
Or if I can't get hurt tags working properly a bloody, masochist version of pokemon where people can only 'evolve' into corrupted or ice/fire thing through being beaten up and not through beating others.

I keep running into issues with darkmetal and lightmetal.  I went into a few stores in adv. mode to find a room full of smoke from a burning trader.  I have a solution: I removed the fixed temperature from the metals and put it into the tissues in the creatures instead.

I dont see an issue with dumb human traders selling dark metal and light metal. though best see if you could get corrupted to sell these items so that they can be immune to the heat.

Gizogin would it be fine if i used the Dark metal and some of your Corrupt raws to create a Deathwing creature? *I have never attempted modding a creature so it wont be finished for ages*

Its perfect to create Deathwing with the Metallic Skin and Molten Iron Blood. Once the next version of DF comes out i hope i can make him breath Molten Metal... or something more... Melty...

Go right ahead.  I expect to see the raws, once you have them figured out.

I have an issue with the corrupts, which broke my dorf fort. I'm still using the old version of the corrupts and the gear you PM'd me, but now whenever I try to play the game at all, I get this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*** Error(s) found in the file "data/save/region3/raw/objects/creature_other.txt"
CORRUPT:Attack SCRATCH seems to have correct format but could not find proper BPs in any caste, so not added
CORRUPT Color Mod Ending With (TAUPE_SANDY,1) Was Not Used
CORRUPT Color Mod Ending With (GRAY,1) Was Not Used
CORRUPT Color Mod Ending With (WHITE,1) Was Not Used

what in the world do I do now? I finally created a self-sustaining fortress with all the amenities in hell, and now I can't play that save, or any save for that matter...

Ah, I had those error messages.  It didn't crash or anything, but...
Anyway, to get rid of it, just remove the scratch attack from the corrupts, and the colors and stuff from the hair at the end of the creature raws.  I think it's because they don't have fingernails or hair, but the game tries to apply color variations to them anyway.

EDIT: This has been fixed in the OP.

[jesusmod]

now it just crashes without changing the errorlog

[Gizogin]

It sounds like there's another problem then.  Is there absolutely nothing in the errorlog?

[jesusmod]

absolutely nothing wrong. I will assume everything's corrupted and reinstall dwarf fortress. Also, on a quazi-philosophical level, if the pures are good, yet cold, what does that make them? cold is the absence of heat, and the absence of heat is absence of life, wouldn't that mean thaat the pures were the greater evil? and since the corrupt are basically conduits of heat, they are living energy, which would make them good, wouldn't it?
well, all I succeeded in doing was confusing myself and morality in an ASCII world.

I prefer to think more in terms of 'order' and 'chaos,' with pures as the embodiment of order, and corrupts as chaos.  According to my vague understanding of entropy, everything tends to disorder, and all energy ends up as useless heat, so I mentally associate that as heat = disorder (also, fire seems more random and uncontrollable, while ice is very ordered).  Since many believe that disorder is bad, corrupts thus become the designated 'evil' side.  The opposite holds true for pures.

In other news, I am going to release a small mod, which will include pures and corrupts, along with some other races, items, buildings, and more.

sounds good
