This Lady Consort just offered her services to me as a mercenary and I accepted.
She's 70, has 14 children and has killed 9 elves and 2 cheetas.
Smells like a vampire to me but we'll see.

Are children of vampires also vampires or did frogman fuck that up too?

>>167077752
Vampires are sterile. She either had children before the curse or isn't a vampire at all.

Can somebody tell me how to retire a fortress without letting a chained vampire run loose?

>>167117020
That was a joke anon. Your armless adventurer will still lack arms.

What is the point in going to war with the Elves? They're too weak most of the time to do anything noteworthy and their armor and weapons are only good as a trade item. The only benefit to going to war with them is being able to cut down as many trees as you like which you usually already have enough wood to last for years before the first Elf Diplomat arrives.

I assume it was from learning for your mistakes once you lost. I don't see what's so fun about a blackscreen that resets everything you built.

Explain. Did you somehow go to that random landscape that appeared when you cut wood in the arena in the early 0.43 releases?

>>167142983
>So far I see he said he might just stick campsites under the default civ until he can fix it more satisfactorily.
Does that also mean that campsites set up in remote places will serve as colonies for that civ? So if you make a campsite in an inaccessible mountainlake, then start a fort there, caravans will still come due to the presence of the campsite?

Possibly, if he does what I'm thinking it means camps will get traffic the same way a fort does, you'd need to build a depot/market to get caravans, but tavern visitors/bandits/artifact hunters should just add you to the list of potential sites.

>toady-sama replied to me in fotf

>>167144043
Yeah, I think that's the same bug which occured when trying to cut wood in the arena in the early 0.43 releases. Since it passed time, it brought you to this weird travel map, and when you returned to the in-game map, you'd get to this weird ass random landscape.

For that reason, Toady quickly removed woodcutting from the arena. You can still download an older version to check it out.

>>167145194
Writing something on a book works fine, or building something.

>>167145917
Yeah, maybe it was only woodcutting that caused it. I haven't really tried constructing things in the arena.

W-wha...
Thank you anon.

Does the level of drunkenness one gets from slaking one's thirst affect you in combat?

Toady seriously needs to reorganize the fucking incident report menu. The search/filter is absolutely broken. No matter what you type in it jumps to random megabeasts.

>>167149408
If you have a strong need for booze, then it will be satisfied everytime you take a sip, potentially making you more efficient.

Apart from that, the drunkenness will of course make you less sensitive to seeing death, although this usually isn't a problem in adventure mode.

>>167149493
But as for combat skill, intoxication doesn't make you miss more often or anything like that?

>>167149481
All he needs to do is to make the names searchable for all incidents. Currently, they aren't searchable for battles and deaths.

>>167149545
I don't think so. It makes you rude and fearless, but that's it.

>>167149545
>>167149626
It can make you dizzy.
Alcohol is a poison, and can make you dizzy/nauseous/dead if you have too much.
Not sure if adventurer thirst-slaking amounts are sufficient, but I'd be careful if I were you.

>>167149550
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what results come up when you type something in. Say I killed Bosa Malignedhorrors, and I want to mention it.
If I type in "bosa" it will jump to things like "Spread rumor of the presence of Nuto Glazedbolts the Saffron Fish of Trammels in the Assaulted Jungle."

That's because the name isn't recognised. Since it can't recognise the name, it jumps to some random keyword that sounds similar.

Sorry friend, but true dwarf fortress players play adventure mode exclusively. And that, is a fact!

>>167150963
/dfg/ is such a slow board I don't usually mind too much these off-topic posts, but I have to agree that too many is a bad thing.

So, onto a question about dwarf fortress. What are the absolute best ideas you've had for modding, /dfg/? Have you managed to make them work? Do you wish you knew how?

Degenerateanon need not reply

>>167151918
I just modded in loads of extra weapons and armor types, so that wasn't hard.
And having your Guard squad in full roman set is breddy fun.
Or doing a ranged only militia with leaders equipped with flintlock pistols and everyone else with muskets.

I kinda wish I knew how to make new siege weapons, because I'd add cannons.

>>167151918
Bit by bit I'm getting Kill Six Billion Demons translated into df stuff, having devils drop mask items which can be written on and used to pass on the secrets of binding devils felt pretty clever, but not being able to make it behave like a named demon slab without just dfhacking it is kinda a bummer.

>>167152116
No source on this, but I just know that Toady will add cannons along with the boats.

After that, he'll probably have to add primitive hand cannons as well. They need to be primitive though, so that they don't dominate too much of the game.

It all fits into the new setting. Even though it started out as a medieval themed game, it's moving onwards into early modernity, as evidenced by the science described in the new books. Toady will probably have to ditch the feudalism too.

>>167152116
Sounds like a cool mod, how did you design bullets for the muskets?

>>167152190
Ooh, I saw the posts you made earlier but didn't look at the pics. I get it now, neat idea.

Myself I've only dabbled with modding extra trainable beasts and weapons for fortress mode, but I always like hearing about others modding successes.

>>167151918
I've been playing with this idea of making dwarves have a kind of caste like society. I started making the creatures but I haven't really playtested it much or modified the dwarf civ entity. But anyway its like this so far, the dwarves are divided into various castes:

>male dwarves
The same as vanilla dwarves

>female dwarves
Large larval creatures much rarer than male dwarves (similar to a termite queen). It gives birth in large clutches. They live for around 500 years.

>dwarf drone
Genderless smaller dwarf with decreased mental and physical ability. Lives for up to 20 years.

>Dwarflet
A tiny legless dwarflike creature that lives for about 5 years, and can be used as pets. Even less intelligent and weaker than drones.

>Dwoss
A sort of mindless blob of undeveloped dwarf flesh that can be milked and used as livestock. Sort of like a placenta.

The female dwarves give birth to a bunch of the different castes at once. But females themselves are rare, so until you get one in you fort you'd have to survive with just males/genderless drones etc.

>>167152372
>how did you design bullets for the muskets?

>>167153078

>>167153140
Reactions make or change things, each has a collection of tokens, interactions can give syndromes which can give new interactions, body default plans can be swapped around and defined fairly arbitrarily as long as certain tags are present, a creature has a few tags that are not caste level, and almost everything else can be applied per-caste or to groups of castes and so forth.

Items all have their own cluster of tokens, most of the fun with them is flavor from new descriptive features and mechanical from playing with the values themselves, materials are the same, simply copying something like the steel entry and pasting it in the material_templates file before changing out certain tags with the bone ones and then making a creature use that material gives them steel bones, you can even specify different materials per part if you wanted to get fiddly enough, you want a totally normal human with a metal arm? Copy the humanoid_neck plan, remove an arm, then put the arm you removed in another body plan, and assign the materials for that arm to be something which links to the inorganic:steel entry instead of the bone/flesh ones, copy from the bronze colossus to see how.

Basically everything in entity_default can be fucked with to produce crazy ass worlds with the flavor you want, I've got goblins that settle evil glaciers, deep dwarves that live in fortresses in glaciers and mountains, just "dwarf" dwarves that live along tundras and mountains and whatnot in cities, with megabeasts that take over due to being intelligent and the [POWER] tag.

>>167149128
So what are you trying to say

>>167154114
It gets to be a pain having to stop and make a fire and heat your backpack and drink every 20 seconds. Although the booze idea seems like a good way around that.

>>167154035
You mean I could create a my very own fully modded adventurer race without it showing up in game in any other way?

That's it, I'm gonna mod Guts into the game, and theres nothing frown-anon can do to stop me!

>>167154390
Just like in real life

>>167156019
>Implying you don't carry around hundreds of liters of booze in a backpack along with assorted corpses, bones, and weapons
Do you even dorf?

>>167155372
You can have the local pops produce heroes tag and no biome or you can add an item which is only produced through reactions, and eating it gives you a syndrome that turns you into your modded race.

You'll want to add tougher stuff to play with after a while of lopping megabeasts in half, the devils I added are tough, but not as tough as some of the shit I've put in before, but then you gotta consider their fucking blood starts burning you to death if you get it on you, even your armor can heat up enough to start hurting you.

Trying to get angels to do that but it's difficult with cold materials.

If their interests overlapped, I'd love to see Stephen Fry and Toady chatting and joking about stuff.

>>167161172
I wouldn't.

Stephen Fry is really good with words, but also really fond of banter.

Toady is an autistic American, and all the bantering would confuse him. He probably wouldn't even get angry. I imagine Toady as the sort of person who would apologise if someone bantered him IRL.

The meeting between the two would be really awkward.

>>167161478
Have you ever heard toady in an interview? He's awkward, but not that fucking awkward. He can hold a conversation, especially if he's being interviewed.

This is also a good suggestion, I've done lots of little mods on existing raws, and indeed my main df install is one huge tumbling rolling conglomeration of things I've turned it into.

Making the KSBD one is way harder because I don't want to leave all of the vanilla stuff in, and can't simply build on a lot of it, so I'm having to go in and pull out what I can use then reconstruct it from there, and I'm still just part way through the main races/actors.

I was able to use humans mostly intact though I needed to add the tags so they'd be the main playable race. Had to build up devils from scratch, still need to put in pale and unbound versions, the demiurges are in placeholder mode atm, still need to add in variation and abilities for them, though they are super tough at least, and angels are close to done in that they're playable and a goddamn nightmare to fight, their forged ash bodies are durable and leak cold white flame properly, they even explode if you kill them dramatically, and I was able to make it possible to collect the armor from a slain one, though some of the pieces might get destroyed by the explosion?

Still working on interactions, probably going to have a chain of devil binding, and start setting out demiurge abilities, but I also had an idea about how to do things like Auntie Maya, so I gotta figure out how to put it together now.

Naturally change the creature name and whatnot, but that there should be the basics to get a metal arm which can shoot fireballs attached to a human body.

So I accidentaly let my horse starve to death on the meeting room, and know it's corpse is just laying there, how do I get it out?

>>167198313
Well if miasa feels meetings and dorfs aree not know to get out maybe try dump marking for use?

>>167176862
>I guess you could make him shoot fire from his left hand fairly easily, right?
It would be an emission, sure. Have a look at how spitting works, you would probably want to use metal globs for bullets.

>>167194494
>>167194608
>>167194735
Why'd you stop working on these if the sprites were the only thing you couldn't do?

>>167200054
Well it was really only partly that. The other thing is that the next update is probably going to change a huge amount of things and I'd probably have to straight up redo the mod after, so I'm probably just going to wait.

>>167199604
I put an example of how to do that along with the metal arm stuff in the pastebin here: >>167197664

>>167200161
I have some orc files if you want them, includes 4 castes and I also have a civ file which allows only males to rule + tweaked noble roles, based on the masterbloat orcs

>>167200353
I could probably put that together from scratch, but I'd appreciate it being posted for others to see how you put it together, toss em up.

[BP_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:RASPY_VOICE:100:110:120:130:150:170:200]


I also prefer to declare the castes earlier, in fact a neat trick is to declare them before the body stuff so you can have creatures with different castes use different materials/body plans.

The rejected class isn't necessary when you have an allowed class, and the civ number is really high, reducing that and raising the site pop instead will let you have big bustling sites and so forth without having to sort through fourty nearly identical civs.

What's the best "dwarf fortress-like" game?

I know of Gnomoria and RimWorld. Are they good? Any others?

>>167205336
Unreal world is pretty good but the lack of fantasy stuff and inter-tribal warfare kills it for me.

Thanks.

Some generals are fine with it as long as it doesn't derail the thread. Hell, the Mega Man General explicitly mentions "Mega Man-esque" games in the OP.

>>167205525
It makes sense. If anyone knows which other games are most similar to the game they like the most, it'd be the fans of that game.

I'm thinking of adding a human caste with like four extra limbs made of a metal material used for sword type attacks and not targetable to get the whole "always armed and prepared to cut" effect without obviously being armed.

What do you think a demigod locally important swordsman asked to go slay dragons and scare away bandits is besides a barbarian hero?

>>167207534
Yeah but I can't form a clan and build a village of my own, hence the "warlord" part. I mean, I can build a little log cabin but no one acknowledges it.

>>167207598
With dfhack you can fix that, and Toady intends to move the sites under your default civ so they'll notify the world of their presence properly, from the way he said it I'm guessing he meant in the upcoming update, since it was mostly just something he kinda left so you weren't forced to carry one civ around, but that unintentionally makes you part of no civ and screws up a lot of immersion.

>>167209120
>With dfhack you can fix that,
Explain this to me please.

>and Toady intends to move the sites under your default civ so they'll notify the world of their presence properly

What will be the ramifications of this? Will my outpost be subject to invasions and open to trade and all that, while I am in adventure mode? Any by default civ, is that the one I started in or the one I most recently pledged myself to?

>>167209296
I should figure out how to make a campsite parent fix script probably.

Right now I use a kinda screw method, since my gm-editor (shift+d hotkey, I use it a lot) opens up df.global by default (running gui/gm-editor df.global does the same thing) so I can access all the shit I need to fuck with.

So first I check and find what my general_refs[0].nemesis_id is (or use my gm-editor tweak that pulls it up when viewing a unit) and look in the histfig entry to see my entity links, I grab the parent entity (the first one from your legends entry usually, and the only one that you stay a member of when changing allegiances) and note the id, then I go to df.global.world.world_data.sites and if I just made the site I scroll up to hit the last entry which will be my camp, I scroll down to entity_links and insert a link to my parent civ, then set the strength to 100 and the flags to residence, then I go to cultural_identities and fill in the top two fields with the parent civ and the site id, then the uh, groups or events entry has a place to put the local site government.

At that point the rest of the world is aware of the campsite as being related to the parent entity (and it will add a link to the camp as a child under the parent entity for you) and it is thus added to the list of sites that can be visited, attacked, talked about, etc.

I think you'd need to add entity_links with the neighboring site controllers and flip the local_market flag to trade with them, along with having a market or depot zone in place.

>>167210571
http://pastebin.com/iS4f7Q0i
That's the gm-editor changes btw, the downside is you can't view the inventory of an animal or dummy npc and pull up the unit screen, but you can do it if you target the unit with your look cursor instead.

But on a histfig it will pull up the INCREDIBLY USEFUL nemesis entry which has:
historical_figure link
unit link
flags that control adventurer/active adventurer/retired adventurer status so you can set people you meet as retired adventurers to play as later.

It also pulls up your travel army x/y/z pos when you are in travel mode and moving (or if you wait and run it while the travel screen is up) which you can use to teleport around the world, though it's a matter of guesswork until you get the feel for it (a 17x17 goes from 0/0 to 815/815, in 48x48 chunks per world map tile, a 257x257 goes up to around 12335, and trying to go further than the borders of your world crashes the game, sorry, no way to stop that) but as you can imagine it's super useful.

It also runs df.global instead of the "no target" error message, which puts you at the top of the structures tree for everything in game, but you'll mostly want to stay in world, ui, ui_advmode, and maybe gview (which is how you edit when the updating world ends during unretire/starting out) because the rest of the entries aren't as interesting or are just dangerous!

>tfw masterwork taking over everything means people don't just make race mods anymore, everything has to be some big overhaul.

Is it really so much to ask for the occasional small civ mod that you can just plop into the vanilla game and be ready to go?

>>167211263
Would be a pain for me since my civs have a lot of stuff that pulls from the rest of my personal mod, but doing a big overhaul in my case has nothing to do with masterwork, if anything I was inspired by the toybox in the dark ages raws to start screwing around with more crazy shit.

Most of the minor entity stuff is more of a tweak than a mod really.

>>167211753
Well regardless I'd be way happier if there were a bunch of small, modular civ mods available than the current selection. Succubus Dungeon is about the only one and even then you have to drop some features if you want it to be compatible with other mods.

>>167211821
Well, I can agree with the general motivation, it's why I try to keep the layout and whatnot unchanged, even when I rename armor/weapons I like to keep the raw names normal so I don't have to make sure that an entity knows I changed ITEM_WEAPON_BATTLE_AXE to ITEM_WEAPON_BHUJ or something when I can just CALL it a bhuj in the displayed info and change the properties, yanno?

>>167211991
Mhm, I get that. I was actually the guy who was trying to make this race mod(s)

>>167194494
>>167194608
>>167194735

I'll probably start work on them when the update comes out. I'm hoping to have them be compatible with any other mod by creating a standalone race and civ file for them and changing nothing in the vanilla raws. That should work, right?

>>167212219
If you make it so everything they use is either drawn from vanilla or self contained then yeah, if you want them to have different equipment or body plans or whatnot they'll need to bring their own item/body/etc plans too, but otherwise yeah, if it's just a new creature/civ it'll be drag and droppable.

>>167214316
That's exactly what I was hoping for, thanks. I'll definitely try and implement them in the new update then.

>>167197664
Holy shit, thanks anon. Will check it out when I get back from uni.

>>167215836
Lemme know if they don't work out right, I am pretty sure they will but didn't fully test them, just going off of stuff I know works.

Once upon a time there was a great civilization of dwarves, The Labor of Clamps, cast upon the world by the great god Anon. And Anon did command unto them: "Embark thee forth and strike the earth, and findeth for me iron and coal and a rad volcano and killeth thou some goblins or some shit." "Where shall we embark, oh lord?" asked the dwarves. "LOL dunno how about here." replied their lord. "But my lord, coal is only found in sedi-" the dwarves began to protest, "Fuckest that autism, Play Now!" their lord commanded. And so the dwarves did embark.
And so the Labor of Clamps did send seven intrepid souls into the vast wild of the Land of Dimensions. "Diggest thou a hole in yon dirt, bearded faggots." commanded Anon. And the bearded faggots did dig a shallow hole into the soil as commanded by the lord. "FUCK! Why canst I find no iron? Abandon fort." Anon decreed. And the seven dwarves were never heard from again.
[cont.]

>>167222958
And Anon did return to the Labor of Clamps, and set them upon a similar mission. "Where shall we embark this time, oh lord?" they asked of their lord. "Thou shalt set forth upon this goblin fortress for the glory of your lord. There better be iron." Anon replied. "There is an aquifer here, it may be difficult to find stone." his subjects replied. "Play Now!" screeched Anon. And he commanded unto his subjects once again: "Diggest thou a hole in yon dirt, bearded faggots." And the bearded faggots did dig as their lord commanded, and two miners drowned. So Anon appealed to a council of similar gods, "How to disble aquifer?" "LNP. init.txt. Just use cave in you casul." the gods did respond, for they were all plebs. After much shitposting and many hours of butthurt, Anon did discover how to cease the weeping of the land.
"Embarkest thou again, you little shits." Anon commanded the Labor of Clamps. As before, Anon did order the bearded faggots to dig a hole. In their shallow hole did they find bauxite, kaolinite, and limonite. "Fuck still no iron." Anon lamented, for he was an idiot and limonite sounds vaguely of fruit. "Abandon fort."

>>167223062
For a final time, Anon did demand of the Labor of Clamps that they should embark upon the land, for to find iron and coal, and to kill goblins or some shit. And the dwarves did strike the earth, but again found no iron, for they had embarked upon an igneous intrusive layer as commanded by their lord. But their lord was tired of this shit so he did persist. For three months did the dwarves toil, digging rows of rectangles around a 3x3 staircase. And then they heard from their lord a baleful proclamation: "MUH SIEGES." To the council of gods did Anon whine: "Why is Toady ruining the game?" and his mouthbreathing did stir a Shitstorm. As the Shitstorm did rage, the dwarves continued about their industry, until Anon did cry "Fuckest thou this game." and downloaded Rimshit.
It is said that to this very day, The Labor of Clamps live on in a dark purgatory called the recycle bin, frozen in time as their capricious god left them, their heroes forgotten, their histories unwritten, their picks hanging in the air above the earth, never to strike again. Until such a day as Anon stops being such a little bitch and gits gud. The end.
