Semi-random generation defined by raws is not in yet, and will not be in the next version. Night trolls, demons, titans, forgotten beasts, bogeymen, etc. rely on hard-coded stuff, not raws.

Well, Bollocks. We'll improvise.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

You can. Either remove the FB definitions (see DF from Scratch) and define which body parts a "Xantalos" can have placed on it from scratch, or you can just modify the existing ones.

[WillowLuman]

The only thing about FB's (and other randomly generated creatures) that can be found in the raws is what body parts compose them, and if you mess with those, the game will refuse to work. You cannot modify existing FB raws because they don't exist.

DFFS does NOT have any randomly generated creatures at all. We had to disable them in world generation to get it to work in the first place, since we reduced all the RCP BP's down to their filenames alone. They're literally saved in "shutupdf.txt", existing in the mod's raws only to prevent error messages.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I know that, but have any of us actually tried to change the body parts (and added the appropriate tissue templates and detail plans)?

[WillowLuman]

No, but people before us have tried. Randomly generated creatures are almost completely hardcoded. Changing what isn't hardcoded tends to make the entire game crash.

I swear, Toady has completely forgotten that he is supposed to release at some point. His updates have gone from "finishing up" to doing completely new stuff, and he hasn't said a word about releasing it in months.

[TD1]

Maybe it's already done and he's just waiting for a good time to release it? *Hopes against all reason*

[Eric Blank]

He's still going over the notes, and part of the notes is obviously getting the new conversation system, reputation, and personality stuff to make sense. He did those rewrites a while back, he just wants to get them into acceptable shape. You wouldn't go to a job interview naked and unbathed, would you?

You don't?! I gotta rethink my life

This explains so much.

Also, when I make the game, I'm certain that the first thing I do will be to try out some of these new systems and record it.

[Scotsmen]

Yeah, I wanna be in on this. I personally want to mod the world, just the small modifications that I have made. Specifically, those are:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1: Making female dwarves have beards.
2: Making male elves not able to have beards. (they don't deserve the honor!)
3: Renaming "goblins" to "orcs." (although that's just my own personal preference, I am a massive Tolkien fan)
4: Making dragons have wings.
5: Making dragons able to breed.
6: Making dragons different colors.

I'm not expecting any of this to go in, it's just the way I like my DF. Either way, modded or not, I want to have a turn at some point.

[mastahcheese]

Well, we're planning on having a second world (not sure who will run it) where mods will be allowed, and I'll link to it when it's ready.

[Scotsmen]

Oh, good! That will make me happy.

[WillowLuman]

Seeing as its been so long, we should check to see who's still in and refresh the turn list.
