Zip includes a few descriptor_shape_legends.txt to choose from. They are compatible with all recent versions. Just drop the file in the raws and they'll appear sporadically on engravings and items.

Grammar is a bit awkward at times, since shape descriptions aren't quite intended to contain these texts.

This is great And hilarious.

   [ADJ:historical event about surrounded demi-god diplomats building a fortress defended by chicken outside a town]
   [ADJ:horrific depiction of a stabbing goblin diplomat butchering forgotten beasts on a beach]
   [ADJ:dramatization of depressed demon caravan guards dragging mummies in a village]

Ya know, you could have added them to an entirely new descriptor_shape file...

Ya know, you could have added them to an entirely new descriptor_shape file...

I failed to find good docs on how to add custom descriptor shape files -- plus I kinda wanted to just have them in current saves.

[Putnam]

Adding a new file is exactly the same as adding a new one of any other raw file. All raw files are functionally when it comes to files. Adding a new raw file to the save is the same as adding more to an old one.

[Wastedlabor]

But would dwarves and items just start using the new shapes?

(And I'll be happy enough if I can chuck a new descriptor_shapes in the raws, gen a new world and see the shapes in game)

[Putnam]

The game does not distinguish between files and the save raws are loaded every time a save is. Adding a new file to the save should do well enough.

[Wastedlabor]

Ah, it does indeed work. I will upload a new file soon.

[Wastedlabor]

Updated. They are now a separate file and they are sorted by type.

   [ADJ:legend about beardy dwarf peasants crafting with chunks of skeletons in a huge room full of skulls and bones]
   [ADJ:horrific depiction of a yelling dwarf father protecting booze barrels from trolls from the other side of a palisade]
   [ADJ:fisherman tale about feasting dwarf diplomats trying to speak with zombie elephants near a river]
   [ADJ:bad omen involving a bad gremlin queen washing children surrounded by glowing mushrooms]
   [ADJ:comical depiction of beardless mercenary mayors wondering how to defeat sheep in the middle of a busy market]
   [ADJ:children tale about scorched elf wanderers warning about an impending threat from magma crabs while escorting a caravan]
   [ADJ:prediction regarding a wondrous goblin crafter catapulting dingoes while chasing bandits]

[Enemy post]

Do these appear as actual events independent of artifacts in legends mode?

[Putnam]

No, they're symbols that can be engraved, like the moons in vanilla.

Sorry, the thread title was kind of misleading.
