Yes. Text gets cut off too often.

No. I dont care/like the names as they are.

Dont you have anything better to do then making such tiny adjustements?

[SuicideRey]

It looks nice but what are those little rod dots on the walls? Magma proof?

[Putnam]

All walls are magma proof, including ice.

I meant the material as in, magma proof stones have a red dot in the center, that's just what popped up into my head.

Items can only have two colors (foreground and background), so no, not that.

Ok thanks for clearing that out.

[Meph]

No, its the background. I changed it by now, now these little dots are grey/black normally, but white when the wall is engraved. I also made this, showing the different color schemes. I think CLA is my favourite, with the olivegreen for the grass...

Well I just had a drow caravan attacked and now have a metric ass ton of silk to collect and process. I will have to have this happen more often, and as a benefit its another elf that gets stomped.

edit: well the drow had their revenge. When my dwarves went to collect the silk and clean the entrance hall many died to being webbed in my very effective traps. had to channel water down the hall to clean it out.

edit:edit: and now several have gone berserk and killed more, leaving babies running around and others going insane. why oh why did i have to collect that silk.

This may be entirely in opposition to how you enjoy working Meph, but I wondered if you'd ever considered using a Linux-style release cycle for Masterwork (that is, even numbered releases being bugfix releases, odd numbered releases introducing new features)?

[Meph]

fasquardon, that makes no sense at all. When was a release ever only about the one or the other?

[mkmr]

So, I've noticed that most of the embark profiles have remained unchanged. Any plans on tweaking them, just a bit, since skills like the tanning (which is now the diplomat skill) don't look too out of place? Or is it a deliberate choice?

Also, I looked at the tileset you've provided (which is cool, by the way) and I have to ask, why is there pink dots on the walls?

[Gamerlord]

Also, can the manual have an explanation of what was changed to what? It's really hard to play orcs when you have to remember that diplomacy is tanning, etc.

[smakemupagus]

can you tell me exactly what you're noticing so we can try to fix it before Meph's trip?  For example, I don't think the Orcs have any reactions using SKILL:TANNER anymore so you must be seeing something else. 

Is it the PROFESSION_NAME?
Shoot, it probably screwed up the profession graphic tiles too, didn't it?

I think the list is in the change log:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 - New professions, skills and labors.
 - IMPORTANT, REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT. SO READ IT. (please)
 - Merged many skills and remapped skills and labors for buildings
 - Thresher, Miller and Presser is now one skill: Miller/Presser
 - Wood Burner, Glazer and Potter is now one skill: Oven Operator
 - Leatherworker and Tanner is now one skill: Leatherworker
 - Soapmaker and Lyemaker is now one skill: Chemist
 - Potashmaker is now: Alchemist
 - Beekeeper is now: Hivekeeper
 - Animal Caretaker is now: Animal Armorer
 - Clothier is now: Tailor.
 - Woodcutter is now: Lumberjack.
 - Strand Extractor is now: Priest/Apostle of Armok.
 - Fish Dissector is now: Fish Farmer
 - Grower/Planter is now: Farmer
 - Wax Worker is now: Wax/Poison Worker
 - Tanner is now: Ambassador
 - Soapmaker is now: Runesmith
 - Alchemist is now: Sorcerer
 - Presser is now: Researcher/Inventor
 - Glazer is now: Musician
 - Building Designer is now: Architect
 - Potter is now: Scribe
 - Pump Operator is now: Machine Operator
 - Miller is now: Archeologist
 - Plant Gathering is now: Herbalism
 - Ambusher is now: Hunter
 - Kiln is now: Clay Oven
 - Wood Furnace is now: Wood Oven

IMPORTANT: You dont have to remember any of this. No worries. It will all show ingame, so you just enable your Runesmith if you want him to work in your RuneArmory or RuneWeaponry. Or your Scribe if you want him to work in the Scriptorium. There are only four things that change for you:

1. Glazing/Pottery is done by the Oven Operator, because they buildings are now called Wood Oven, Clay Oven and Brick Oven.
2. Plant processing, milling and pressing is all done by the Miller/Presser.
3. Soap is made by the Chemist.
4. Leather from skin, tanning, is done by the Leatherworker.

[Gamerlord]

Just that there is no way to remember what skills build what.

[Meph]

@gamerlord: Tanners Workshop is build by Diplomacy, thats the only misnomer. All others fit.

@flip flops: Redoing them is planned, no worries. Pink dots were an oversight, I made them transparent now. They are for engravings, its dark when its a smooth wall, they are white when its an engraved wall. I will upload the tileset probably on its own somewhere

[fasquardon]

fasquardon, that makes no sense at all. When was a release ever only about the one or the other?

It is a useability feature.  Reason I thought of it was because I was talking to a fellow who didn't play Masterwork because of the bugs - and each new version, while usually fixing the last versions bugs, also has new features, which inevitably comes with new problems.

This is something I find frustrating also, though I usually play anyway.
