Very yes

Yes

Indifferent

No

Very no

[Putnam]

Added an entirely new attribute (sorta) to the game: ki!

It affects movement and attacking only, for now, but boy does it. If you have enough ki or are pushing yourself hard enough, you can make movement take very little time and zero fatigue; similarly, you can make attacks much faster, all the way to a single tick, and any excess ki from reducing the attack time will be added directly into the attack's velocity.

Note that, say, Beerus will use 2,000,000 ki per attack, giving him that much velocity.

The cap on velocity in vanilla is 10,000.

So, yes, Sparking! has broken the limits of Dwarf Fortress modding yet again.

[Sergarr]

how

[Putnam]

DFHack persistent storage.

It actually doesn't act as a new attribute at all since I wrote that, being a simple function of willpower, focus and endurance. But it still does all that stuff.

[Aleksanderus]

why scripts do not work?

[Putnam]

More specific please.

You have DFHack installed?

[Alceris]

I love how this mod is practically dedicated to pushing (then breaking) the limits of Dwarf Fortress.

[Aleksanderus]

I have got dfhack
When I try to do instant-transmission dfhack shows this:
.../region1/raw/scripts/dragonball/instant_transmission.lua:33: attempt to call global 'get exhaustion' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

[Putnam]

Did you type that out manually?

Where did you get that instant transmission? The latest version has the only getExhaustion call at line 71, with function getPowerLevel at line 54 and selectUnit() at 133.

[Alceris]

So, pretty much whenever I do anything that takes time to do, especially movement, I get this,

Code: [Select]

And whenever I try to use Instant Transmission,

Code: [Select]

.../region1/raw/scripts/dragonball/instant_transmission.lua:138: bad argument #1 to 'ceil' (number expected, got string)
stack traceback:

(...tail calls...)
I checked these files, as well, most, if not all, of the error messages seem to point to the wrong line, somehow. Also, as "Beerus" or whatever, carrying any amount of weight at all causes my speed to drop to minimum, but has the opposite effect in the Object Testing Arena, for some reason.

1. yes.
2. I haven't got the latest version but I will change it to the latest

sorry for English

[Putnam]

-snip-

All of those issues are fixed as of the latest version:

stack overflow

beerus (I think, may not have properly worked)

[Sergarr]

Do the effects of ki apply to world-gen?

[Putnam]

Heck no. That's an awful can of worms.

Unfortunately, this also makes it a choice between cell being completely overpowered or dying of giant sparrows.

[ArKFallen]

Unfortunately, this also makes it a choice between cell being completely overpowered or dying of giant sparrows.

Sounds like the wildlife needs to be a little more scary. Like giving the dangerous c_variations high willpower, focus, or endurance so when you see Cell dying to them in worldgen and they appear in-game it is consistent. Willpower and/or focus are probably best bets.

[ArKFallen]

Spoiler: Help (click to show/hide)

I put in DfHack r-3 for v40.24 and then put the mod in.
