Bay12, lets try to figure this out: What historical person is that emperor dwarf? I'd say Frederick the Great...

Not historical, but Littlefinger from Game of Thrones comes to mind.  Cowardly, avaricious, treacherous.  Will be all obsequious until he's ready to plant his dagger in your back.  Just the sort to skillfully and creatively maneuver their way up to a position of power via any means, where they all end up living in fear of him and doing what he says rather than the other way around.

I'm excited

Dreams to see the natural wonders of the world?

Sounds Elfy, but bear in mind that Dwarfs have an appreciation for nature, too. They probably wonder at natural geological marvels such as Mountains, the Caverns, and the Magma sea.

I can just imagine the whole Gimli vs. Legolas thing. "I'll come look at your pretty forest, if you'll come see these awesome crystal formations in this cave."

Just accept it dude, only hippy dwarves have an appreciation for nature, others would rather flood the caverns with magma than marvel at it, especially with all the hideous creatures that crawl out of them.

I said they appreciate nature, I didn't say they don't exploit it's resources

After all, I'm sure they appreciate all that naturally formed iron ore

[Knight Otu]

So I've tried to map the new personality traits to the old ones. Some are straightforward, even with names changed. Some are more tenuous. Two I couldn't find any mapping for - emotionality (as in being in touch with your emotions), and cooperation (now a value). Some may look odd - Achievement-striving to Perfectionist rather than to Ambition, but I tried to go with the sentences as much as possible.

[Mephansteras]

Now that dwarves can have dreams, will they get any particular benefit from achieving that dream? If a dwarf, say, dreams of becoming a Master craftsdwarf, will anything happen when they eventually do become one?

I haven't done it yet, but I'm not sure there'd be anything tangible or particular, aside from a large satisfaction/stress-buffer bonus, depending on their personality.  There are probably personality configurations where a dwarf wouldn't get much out of achieving their dream, or might even be harmed by it, but I don't know that that would be common, and the exposition would have to have something about what's going on there to avoid confusion.

Huh. I can see that. You get a dwarf who's finally achieved their life long goal and they go into a deep funk because now they have nothing else to strive for and everything just seems downhill from there.

[mnjiman]

If a dwarf has a fear or a dislike for something, say they really hate being outdoors... will they freak out if they go outdoors? If this is the case, if you were to get a migrant dwarf that was scared of the outdoors, would they not freak out right away and unable to move? Not sure how fears or dislikes will alter the behavior of a dwarf.

Or perhaps their goal simply didn't jive well with their personality. In university I see plenty of people who are going paths in life that they obviously didn't pick for themselves, and probably don't really want to accomplish. This would probably come more into play if we ever get dwarven families or castes or some other force that would push people's goals in a different direction from their desires. It'd be nice to have people be able to get the benefit of being fulfilled in other ways, like a dwarf who appreciates nature roaming the wilderness as a hunter for many years forgets about his or her goal of leading and instead gets a message like "Is fulfilled due to his/her connection with nature."

The endless possibilities of the game are wonderful!

Just chiming in to say thanks for the response Toady and keep up the excellent work!

[Putnam]

Spoiler: Compilation of all the raw changes from Toady so far (click to show/hide)

Plant raws:

Trees
Garden plants
Crops
Creature Variations:

What's the format for passing these arguments to the variation?

Will there be any way to use a match as conditional? Example: to not try to add a tail if there's "TAIL" in the base creature.

To pass them, you send them into the variation when you apply it, like

[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:MY_VARIATION:STUFF:300]

where the variation might look like

[CREATURE_VARIATION:MY_VARIATION]
   [CV_NEW_TAG:SOME_TAG:!ARG1:A:B!ARG2C]

and it would be interpreted as

[CREATURE_VARIATION:MY_VARIATION]
   [CV_NEW_TAG:SOME_TAG:STUFF:A:B300C]

You can add very simple conditions.  For example

[CV_NEW_CTAG:1:ADD_SPEAK:CAN_SPEAK]

makes it do [CV_NEW_TAG:CAN_SPEAK] when !ARG1 is equal to ADD_SPEAK.

But it is a very simple format, and I haven't updated anything beyond this (you can't search for matches, etc.).  As usual, the spirits of dead programmers are calling out for an actual scripting language or something, but it hasn't occurred.

Gaits:

Humans, for example, have

[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_CRAWLING_GAITS:2900:2175:1450:725:3900:5900]


which goes to


[CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS]
   GAIT:type:name:full speed:build up time:turning max:start speed:energy use
      use NO_BUILD_UP if you jump immediately to full speed
      these optional flags go at the end:
         LAYERS_SLOW - fat/muscle layers slow the movement (muscle-slowing counter-acted by strength bonus)
         STRENGTH - strength attribute can speed/slow movement
         AGILITY - agility attribute can speed/slow movement
         STEALTH_SLOWS:<n> - n is percentage slowed
         it would be interesting to allow quirky attributes (like mental stats), but they aren't supported yet

Personality facet list:

This is still subject to change, though maybe not by all that much now (there are still some archetypes I have trouble constructing with these plus values).  They run from 0 to 100 as before, but 0 is often the opposite of the listed phrase rather than just its lack.  So a person with CRUELTY 0 is abundantly merciful, even in situations where it might not be prudent.

For trunk, branches, etc. just numbers to control things, no units, still subject to tweaking.  I'm still formalizing the exact root and cap params from my hard-coded test values, and that'll continue as I add more new critters.

I don't remember if the twig density stuff is still hard-coded, but if it is, it'll be out by release time.

   Format here is character on branch, item character, 3 for color, season timing, print priority (higher better).


To do autumn leaves, you use several growth prints.  This info carries over to picked/fallen items.  Here's a maple leaf:

For item breath, where you'd normally put the breath weapon type after the material, you put.


UNDIRECTED_ITEM_CLOUD:<item type>:<subtype>
TRAILING_ITEM_FLOW:<item type>:<subtype>


The new type/subtype pair for plant growths is PLANT_GROWTH:<growth token>, with whatever material you want (generally the right one from the plant).


Odor


[SMELL_TRIGGER:50] how good is your nose?  low is better.  minimum 1, default is 50, humans set to 90 because they suck
[ODOR_LEVEL:50] how stinky are you?  zero = odorless, default is 50, smell_trigger greaterless than or equal to odor_level detects w/ wind
[ODOR_STRING:wet dog hair] <-- optional, displays race name (not caste name) if you don't provide a string
[LOW_LIGHT_VISION:100] bonus percentage, cannot penalize yet, default is zero, just throw in 10000 to make it perfect

Awesome stuff.

Just want to point out that 'overflated' should either be 'inflated' or 'overinflated' - overflated isn't actually a word.

I was thrown off by this at first too, but it's not like you can't figure out what it means, so I don't care .

[mastahcheese]

Awesome dwarves, there.

[WillowLuman]

So I've tried to map the new personality traits to the old ones. Some are straightforward, even with names changed. Some are more tenuous. Two I couldn't find any mapping for - emotionality (as in being in touch with your emotions), and cooperation (now a value). Some may look odd - Achievement-striving to Perfectionist rather than to Ambition, but I tried to go with the sentences as much as possible.

I wouldn't map STRESS_VULNERABILITY to "vulnerability"

Vunlerability means emotionally vulnerable, or "sensetive". STRESS_VULNERABILITY sounds like how well they can deal with stress.

@ Your future Emperor:
He personally is disgusted by tradition and would flout any he encounters if given the chance,
"You're treating a symptom. That's a symptom of society."
sees power over others as something to strive for,
"The world is a mess, and I just... need... to rule it."
disdains loyalty and finds leisure time wasteful.
"♪Look at these people, ♫ amazing how sheep will line up for the slaughter....♪"

[mastahcheese]

He also has no interest in learning about the world he wants to rule.

[Putnam]

In other words: the perfect generic fantasy villain.

[Valtam]

Thanks Toady! Just a few months left...

Also, that future emperor reminds me of a certain dictactor.
