Actually, my first thought was, "When did Redwall go Dark and Edgy?"  But DF Modding was right behind that.

I'd never heard of Mouse Guard before this thread, but I thought of Redwall too.  In fact, now I want to make a Redwall mod.  This Mouse Guard is clearly a total ripoff with inferior cover illustrations.

Salamandastron sets a pretty good precedent for Redwall mountain halls.  Maybe it'll turn out to be Badger Fortress.  Shit, I AM going to do this.  Ironically I'll probably have to leave out Redwall itself, since it's a multi-racial entity.  More like Mossflower era.  There'll have to be a gigantic number of entities for hedgehog colonies, otters, searats and all that crap.  Hot damn.

I guess I won't have to mod pikes (the fish) much.

Wouldn't Salamandastron be a hare fortress with a Badger Leader?  [POWER] tag should work, though I don't know what the effect of a mortal race with [POWER] would be.

For that matter, big predators with [POWER] leading vermin civs would work on the other side, just finagle the spheres and such to make sure they each wind up leading the right sides.

Oh, good call.  Somehow I don't foresee much difficulty with the spheres, Redwall isn't exactly chock full of moral ambiguity.

I'll probably hold off until after the next release though.

Heh, I was thinking Redwall too, but there's large enough differences between the two so you should go ahead.

That being said, I loved the first few Redwall books, until it became the standard Brian Jacques:
1. outnumbered militia fighting
2. lots of food
3. pre-deterministically evil vermin
4. lots of food
5. vision/dream of Martin
6. lots of food
7. outnumbered militia beating crap out of vermin horde
8. lots of food
9. badgers/hares kicking ass
10. more food.

Repeated ad nauseum. In the later books the Long Patrol is probably one of the few that stand out to me, also loved Mossflower and Salamandastron.

Also /tg/ wanted it to remain pure to the Mouse Guard strip/RPG which is pretty cool.

My friend got further on the graphics sprites so another release tomorrow or in 2 days. If you do a Redwall mod you could use the graphics set as well.

As much as I liked Redwall in elementary school, especially Mossflower since it was the first one I read and one of the all around best, this sums up how I remember them now.  Also, I don't give a shit about food.

Anyway, yeah, Mouseguard.  Still, looking for other things to update/change, like gremlins and camels.

Thanks!  I don't know, I might try making my own for that unique feel.  Depends how ambitious I'm feeling come April, I guess.

Haha.  Yeah, I'm not sure my enthusiasm would survive a rereading.  It's just such a good fit for a mod, probably because the books were so formulaic and predictable (with regard to creatures' life patterns and morality), but also the whole emphasis on medieval combat and stuff.

You forgot the singing. Oh god, the singing. At least Tom Bombadil had the decency to bugger off after a couple of chapters.

[Dwarf Mouse]

...Yeah, turns out the fish thing was just me forgetting to make sure the Fishery actually finished construction. Boy is my face red.

That said, 1.1 does this number:



edit: It's because the grid setting in init is:

[GRID:160:50]
[FULLGRID:160:50]

Is there something I'm missing (again)?

[KaelGotDwarves]

Ahh, in the 1.1 release I had done some bug fixing on version 1 with a tweaked init file, so if you start playing past the loading screens in Fortress, Adventure, or Legends mode it'll give you a larger view screen by default. Make sure to use Full Screen mode if it's stretched out. If you want to fix it before I get to it, go to your Mouse Guard "Dwarf Fortress" folder - click on the "data" folder, then "init" folder and click on init.txt and edit

Code: [Select]

[GRID:160:50]
[FULLGRID:160:50]
into
[GRID:80:25]
[FULLGRID:80:25]
instead. That will give you a normal viewport.

My friend is slow on the sprites, but if I have to I'll release a version 1.15 with various fixes before releasing the version with the graphics sprites.

[Dwarf Mouse]

I'm still holding out hope for the graphics mod.

[Dwarf Mouse]

Was interest just lost, or did the tileset never come through?

Hey, sorry for necro threading, but in case Kael or someone else wants to put it up:
