Seriously now, I want to make my mod be playable in Adventure mode. Problem: I never played adventure mode and dont know what it would need for that. My guesses so far:

A big list of custom reaction that are "adventuremode enabled", I would probably copy deons work from genesis for this. I trust his judgement to do it well.

A list of custom reaction to use special items I have in my mod. I will make these myself.

A big list of adventure_tier:X creatures to play. This might or might not include sorcerers with all the fancy new spells.

Tweaks to existing creatures/civs. I have no idea what would be needed.

More vocalizations for creatures, see this mod

Probably a ton of other things I dont know. I do request the help of avid adventure mode players and/or modders for this. Any knowledge you share will help me greatly. A noob questions: Adventurers cant dig, right ?

[Logic]

I'm pretty sure adventurers can't dig.

[EmperorJon]

Can't dig, or chop trees, or interact with tiles in those kind of ways.

An ability to snap necks with wrestling, some random thing I have always wanted.
Generally I'd like to see some basic construction ability and/or the ability to command followers if possible. It'd be awesome to have your own base of operations in adv mode.

Awesome

EDIT: Sorry, I should have read the post more carefully before making requests. I just got excited in seeing "*MASTERWORK*" and "adventure mode" in the same sentence.

[Meph]

Please, dont make requests about me modding things in. I never played adventure mode, an never will.

I need instructions, not ideas Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh/weird, I guess I just need one dedicated adventure mode modder to help me along.

snapping necks can be done by making the spine in the neck breakable via wrestling. commanding followers cannot, no code exists in DF.

As you said, most things like reaction you can take from the genesis mod, since Deon worked on the adventure mode as well. As for the reaction of your mod and the adventures tier, well, it's your choice i think.

You'll also have to enable more clothing for the civilization, and enable the eat and drink feature.

About the vocalization now, you can take that also from the genesis, works pretty good actually. You can also add some.
Exemple:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

--sounds.. loudness/distance (squares), commonnness (1000 for alarm, 10k peaceful).
   [SOUND:ALERT:50:1200:VOCALIZATION:shout:shouts:a warcry]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:45:80000:VOCALIZATION:shout:shouts:a shout] --very rare but long-distance
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:25:180000:VOCALIZATION:ponder the futility of it all:looks very sad:insane gibbering in the distance] --very rare
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:20:27000:VOCALIZATION:sneeze:sneezes:a sneeze]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:7:25000:VOCALIZATION:burp:burps:a manly burp]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:7:18000:VOCALIZATION:spit:spits:somebody spitting]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:15:9500:VOCALIZATION:talk:talks:conversation]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:13:24000:VOCALIZATION:pray:prays:a prayer]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:4:16000:VOCALIZATION:sigh:sighs:a sigh] --shortest distance/loudness
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:16:17000:VOCALIZATION:swear:swears:somebody swearing]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:11:19000:VOCALIZATION:mutter:mutters:somebody muttering]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:8:18000:VOCALIZATION:grunt:grunts:a grunt]
   [SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:6:15000:VOCALIZATION:cough:coughs:a quiet cough]

I just started modding recently so what i said may don't make sense, but if it can help...

Edit: Ho damn... was using an old version of your mod...

[bombzero]

hey meph, the neck breaking thing would not be too OP, as strangling in adv already makes someone pass out in one turn.

it would also add awesomeness to fortress mode when your militia commander breaks a orc warlords neck.

[Meph]

In this case: Post the raws ^^  Sorry if I seem to be very passive about the adventure mode things, but I have a lot on my hands in Fortress Mode already, as you know. But yeah, wrestlers breacking necks would be nice, although a wrestler against an orc warlord is doomed anyway.

[bombzero]

i just suggested that since its only changing the body plan, ill go see if i can find a set of Raws someone made for it.

[Meph]

-bump-

[bombzero]

meh, cant find it as i somehow got wrapped up posting in 18 different threads... fucking boredom...

anyways, you just have to modify the part of the spine in the neck to act like bones in the shoulder/wrist/knee/hip etc.


as for other things, fixing the non-speaking races for adv mode, or not giving them towns would be nice, but may interfere with fortress mode. also, free magic spells suck, don't make sense in adventure mode, however something gained from a potion crafted via reaction, (ask Deon) would be cool.

[Meph]

All the stuff would be enabled by a button saying: Adventure mode. BUT it would mean that one can play a world only in Fortress, OR Adventure mode. No idea how to really get around that issue.

[Seraphyx]

Goodluck with this. Can't really help since I don't know anything about modding but it seems like you should watch a few adventure mode videos so you at least have an idea of what it's like, though I'm sure you'll receive plenty of help here. If you do find yourself with the time, 5ippycup has some amazing videos on youtube that also serve as a walkthrough/guide.

[bombzero]

i'd say blow some time playing adv mode, its pretty fun now with toady's recent additions.

that way you can get an idea for what might go well in it. also, try to find a way to make natural skill dwarfs show up in adv race select, right now you have something along the lines of.

male/female dwarf X11
legion,
royal,
guild,

or something like that.
