Wiki-based speech mods!
« on: July 19, 2008, 04:17:08 pm »

I created a page over at Dwarf Fortress Wiki for adding new entries to all of the new speech files. I was going to make a simple mod, but I thought it might be better to allow anybody to add new replies as they think of them. It's my first time making a wiki page, so any suggestions or edits would be appreciated too.

You can find the page here: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Speech_mods along with a few starter entries I put in.

Thoughts?

Edit: While it's a pain to copy all of the new entries to your files, it is assumed that once they get big enough, we could make sets of them available for download. Like, "wiki speech mods month/day/year".

I had a similar thought about the language files a while ago.

Language or speech? If you speak about language, I'm trying to make a J.R.R. Tolkien's Sindarin language (however I've found a translation for roughly a 1/2 of the whole language file).

I added to the page with two distinctive boasts that come under the categorization of 'general'.

For that page, probably just speech. However, a language version would be great, too. Though we might need one page for each language, given their size...

Great boasts, Ronin! I've added them to my own general file.
