Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

The blood plains are actually pretty lively with a great deal of small mammals and raven flocks. Dunno what area Thol went into

[Mr Frog]

It's not really a normal area, even for the bloodplains. I just couldn't figure out any way for him to point out that it wasn't normal, as it was his first time there, so he'd assume the rest of the plains were like it. In my defense, he does state that only the stretch between the village and the volcano was giving him the creeps, though he assumes that he just hadn't noticed before.

1. Cavy warriors are a joke related to when Talvi said that the fortress would be saved from the timewar by cavy warriors, or some such nonsense. lol  They don't actually gen with worldgen.

How exactly did you manage that? I never put them in my folder, but as far as I know, they should appear if you just dump the files in without paying attention.

And nice additions to both Thol and the Creator's stories. Although I'm a bit confused about when they(Lolfail's guys) were bitten by a hydra.

[Splint]

There's some kind of demented spirit realm that Lefton is able to tap into. May be referring to an incident with some kind of void critter in there. Otherwise I'm just as confused as you.

As to the Cavy Warriors, they won't spawn if the [ENTITY_x] stuff isn't bracketed.

At the end of the previous entry, when they were nearly Double sushi'd, the pain in their stomachs was Adynato grabbing them (with her mouth...s) and pulling them into the Entropy Tunnel.

[ENTITY:CAVY]  That one? I must have added it out of habit and promptly forgot. Oh well.

Sounds like she's going to be fun to put in with the new duel wielding mechanic. Is she three separate creatures or one?

Both; she/they can shift between humanoid and hydral forms at will (a property of the hydra, not the girls) but technically they are all separate, so it could be four separate creatures...

One AND three AND four separate creatures, depending on frame of reference.


Also, I already have plans for modding in ALL the various characters from the Creator's storyline (except for the Aspects themselves) so I certainly hope it'll be fun

Incidentally, a loooooong time ago we sorta-but-not-really made plans to do some voiced skits or something once Spearbreakers concluded. Spearbreakers has now concluded. Does anyone besides me feel like making an idiot of themselves on the Internet? (I, of course, am ALWAYS eager to do so, as it is literally my greatest talent.)

[DOES_NOT_EXIST], I believe. Dwarves and such may still have them in their preferences and they might appear in artwork and whatnot but they will not appear anywhere in-game. Sort of like how we have books and such about fairies even though they to my knowledge do not even slightly exist.

Sure, what the hey. Got a month before Uni starts.

They didn't have that particular tag(though I added it to see what would happen). When I genned a new world with the cavies in it, no cavys appeared, but I did get this
Impoverished Word Selector
in the error log. What the hell?

Also, I can't do voices. I liked the idea though, and wondered what happened to it.

By the way, almost every secret bearer in this world is a scythod, and that seems to be true in every world I've generated with the mod in it. Its scary out there.

E: Wait, are cavy warriors evil?

[Mr Frog]

Not sure what Talvi could have done to make an entire entity be in the raws but not spawn... Maybe they have no biome set?

I have no idea what Impoverished Word Selector means, but I'd assume it's when the SELECT_SYMBOL and CULL_SYMBOL tags interact badly and the game isn't left with any usable words in a specific category its trying to use.

E: Re: Voiced things:

Since I doubt anyone here really has the patience or time to do a full re-enactment of the story of Spearbreakers, I suggest that we just do a bunch of short one-offs if anything at all.

My first thought is casting. Who plays which character? (Note: As we don't have any ladies here that I know of, we're probably going to have to bite the bullet and have Vanya et al be voiced by men.)

[Lolfail0009]

With enough time in Audacity, I could probably get a decent female voice going. Unless, of course, there is a girl lurking on this thread.

[Splint]

Dunno how good my mic would be but if fed some lines I will be happy to provide something voiced.

[TalonisWolf]

 Good luck, voicees!

 I haven't found a scanner yet... so tomorrow I'm going to suck it up and use the best picture I can get.

 But I really wish I could have found a scanner...

I'm personally open to that idea, but I'd rather hear a sample first. If it sounds too fake it'll probably be better to just give Vanya and Talvi straight-up male voices rather than an annoying synthesised mess. (I've heard guys try to modify their voices to voice Touhous, and it is not pretty.)

I recall Splint having a high, clear, somewhat chirpy voice. Mine is, to quote Talvi's description, deep and a bit gritty. I don't think I've heard Lolfail.

Dunno how good my mic would be but if fed some lines I will be happy to provide something voiced.

I doubt any of us here has anything remotely-resembling professional-quality recording software :p  We can still probably do a decent job of this if we get everything else right.

Two things now: Who does the writing, and how will recording be carried out? It'd be easiest for everyone to record their lines completely-seperately, but that runs the risk of everything not gelling together well. Voice chat of some sort would probably be the best way for us to give feedback to each other's performances, assuming that's an option.

E: I volunteer for the role of Fischer, doing the growliest bass I can muster and using Audacity to lower the pitch even further.
