Bah Footkerchief! Your lack of faith and respect on the Toady shall not pass unattended for long, for his rage and vengefulness are bound by no limits beyond those of the 32 bits! Beware!

This, however, is embarrassing.

"Let us maintain our chill composure."

Also, respect Footkerchief.

And the single core.

Inb4 Footkerchiev heresy.

Hehehehe that's what happens when I have too much free time.

[Talvieno]

I personally have a good deal of respect for Footkerchief. More for Toady, of course, and while it seems very much like me to worship him in jest... I don't think this is the thread for it. We could make a thread for it, though, I suppose... lol

And now, less off-topic.
Will there be tags to make creatures easier/harder/impossible to smell? (such as [STRONG_ODOR], [WEAK_ODOR], [NOT_SMELLABLE], for creatures such as dogs, lions, and the "amethyst man", respectively)

[LordBaal]

There's isn't one already? Meh, I think about taking a laugh or two from Toady and anyone reading the question.

[Shinziril]

there are giant mushrooms now that seem to work their way into everything

I suspect that's realistic, if unhelpful.  Perhaps there needs to be code for tree-chopping (or mushroom-chopping, as it were) to keep the trade routes clear.  I'm sure Toady will figure something out.

I remember when Toady first implemented the tunnels that I tried several times to reach different moutainhomes just by walking through them, but there were always some problem with them that made them impassable, usually related to bridges. It was fun though, as they were populated by underground denizens. I hope he fixes them this time.

I suspect he is running into that problem.

Hope he fixes the thing with subterranean tree density just increasing and increasing because it'll end up choked with subterranean trees.

I like this thread. The suggestions are so subtle

So does this mean that brokers will actually do their job when requested now instead of waiting till the last moment?

If you mean this, it's referring to the spawning of brokers in world sites, and has no bearing on Fortress Mode brokers:

Tunnel trade runs haven't been going smoothly, but I found an old buried error in the 3D map code that was causing all the cave dragons and water to sneak into the central fortress up-down column, and various other problems besides, so that's good, anyway. I also had to play with world gen a bit to get brokers to show up at all since it wasn't doing unimportant positions for sites (as it makes too many functionary historical figures throughout history that way). Map bugs are always time-consuming (more-so because there are giant mushrooms now that seem to work their way into everything), but we should be getting away from them as we move past this item, since none of the other issues involve maps. I have to have a successful depot run first though. Back to it!

That is a job priorities thing, which is not in for this release.

Anyone got a clue on how smelling will be observed?

Will it be like a message, i.e.

"You smell a rotting corpse!"

or will it be an active thing, like you hit a button to see what you smell, or perhaps there would be a tile tinge based on smells?

[blazing glory]

Tile tinges will make the map messy so probably not  that.
