   (*) Puzzleboxes/drum makeable

"This is a gold puzzlebox. It menaces with spikes of obsidian."

Legolas McTrader: "We're back from the trading mission! For some reason the dwarves gave us 50 gold puzzleboxes."

Yay! Time to re-customise the raws and settings again! Grrr...

But really, hurrah for minecarts!

[Loud Whispers]

old saves load up fine

Falling objects can collide with critters
Camera can be attached to unit or item, can be linked to hotkeys from the unit/item screens

Use WinMerge to speed up code (or raws) comparing and merging. http://winmerge.org/about/screenshots/

And check out the today-updated Genesis mod unofficial release by me, as seen in my sig.

Lol, I'm tired. Sitting here thinking, wait, I didn't see Toady say that anywhere... :p

Love/hate you Toady, first you make a major release on valentines day, now this on the day I'm supposed to clean up the house for my wife's return home!

Sigh... Guess I'll have to enjoy this tonight :p

[Komra]

new release?

  HUZZAH!

Sounds like the mine cart system has a learning curve approaching the squad/patrol system. Maybe I'll start up a fortress with a wiki tutorial in mind.

[LoSboccacc]

uhm. I've a pile with a wheelbarrow assigned, so only one dwarf at time collects item. idlers, even if they're idle, don't help in item collection

if you put wheelbarrow at 3, at most three dwarf will do picking.

keep that in mind, because for efficiency you'll need smaller, dedicated piles instead of large ones

[greenskye]

Haven't got a chance to play around with it, but just based off others experiences, I'm hoping the 3 wheelbarrow limit will be lifted. If I have a 1:1 wheelbarrow/dwarf ratio I want to use them!

[SmileyMan]

has anyone managed to construct a ramped track? you can't construct a ramp on a track or vice versa......

EDIT: D'oh - there's a second page of track contstructions!

Oh man what a way to celebrate the end of school for this semester.

In Japan, there's actually a law against releasing popular games during the workweek.  They make them delay releases until the weekend.

Oh well, I wasn't planning to be very productive this week anyhow

Toady - you got a typo in a inorganic_soil file -


[INORGANIC:SAND_WHITE]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SOIL_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:white sand][DISPLAY_COLOR:7:6:1][TILE:178]
[SOIL][AQUIFER][SOIL_SAND]
[SOLID_DENSITY:1710] SCS = 90/5/5[SOLID_DENSITY:1600]

Last part is obviously left from last release and all other sands don't have them. And from Uristocrat's thread it shouldn't be in this sand.
Hope that helps:)

Yeah, it's not in mine.  I think that typo will be harmless, though it might give the sand the wrong density (err, insofar as these can have "wrong" densities... especially when sand is just something we tried to research sensible averages for).  You should be able to change "[SOLID_DENSITY:1710] SCS = 90/5/5[SOLID_DENSITY:1600]" to "[SOLID_DENSITY:1710] SCS = 90/5/5" with no ill effects.

And someone was talking to me about assigning different mineral compositions to the different colors of sand.  That would be cool if I could get proper averages, though with soil, density only changes the mining speed by a little bit, so it's not a huge change anyhow.

Falling units also count as 'falling objects' when calculating 'drop damage' now. I was in the arena, dropping elephants on same-team test subjects. Sure enough the victims take 3 "<body part> takes the full force of the impact" rolls, the same as the elephants dropping on them. This was with a 3-ish z-level drop.

Dodge-me traps would thus gain one additional source of damage: earlier suckers getting crushed by later suckers.
