Incorrect. Ice hell can be mined and doing so results in water.



Some further testing in hell shows that it does not melt with magma, though, so that turned out to be bad advice. Just dig a cistern, kids, don't rely on hell for drinking water.

Okay, so I'm too lazy to read everything that has been posted in my absence.

A recap would be nice.

A recap would be nice.

It's just been a lot of theories and thoughts about what to do in the future, people posting the cool stuff they're making ahead of their turn, and some exploration of the world as is. The minimal world is playable and bug-free now, should be. If you want the minimalist experience, try it. BFEL should be making his upload with more stuff in a day or two. After that I think I'll hijack the save for just a bit and update the language words file, because most people were arguing that creating language from scratch is largely pointless work, and then it's up to Leibowitz.

There have been some cool ideas, but summarizing them all would be a lot of work and not very useful.

[BFEL]

Ok so two days ago I made a very small amount of progress, fixing a few of the bug reports that DF gave me concerning the elves and such.
However yesterday saw nothing get done as I came down with a minor case of food poisoning, sorry bout that.

So I do know how to fix this now (for the most part) and I should be able to at least get the elves un-bugged before it becomes upload time. (worst case scenario, I get the elves and that stone uploaded, and nothing else.)

EDIT: Ok started doing some more fixins and its going pretty well now. Still having issues with materials but I got the Treelords to have actual body parts! WOOOO! (those body parts are made of "first tissue" instead of bark, sap, and leaves....but still PROGRESS)

[Crustypeanut]

I've been working slowly lately myself, focusing on non-DF related stuff. 

I do have all of the castes of the Vegipygmies defined, but not finished.  Some have their special abilities, such as being fire-proof, spitting webs, one with his nasty bite (and tendancy to latch on), one being able to trance, and another able to enrage.  However, they're mostly using Halfling attributes for their tissue, with the exception of the skin, which is more resistant to blunt trauma. 

I still need to work on the rest of their body parts, in addition to making the materials they drop upon death.  Not to mention I haven't even started making their civilization - right now they're spawnable in Arena mode, and can use halfling-sized weapons and clothing, considering they're the same size.

The web spitters are particularly viscious in Halfling vs Pygmy fights.

Ok these ones are giving me some grief, in particular the [TISSUE_MATERIAL:] part. I have tried ELFWOOD and ELFWOOD_TEMPLATE_BFEL, do I have to make a separate elfwood material elsewhere? And if so how would I begin that?

[Halfling]

Good to hear you guys are making progress. @BFEL, can look at either vanilla or my raws for examples of how tissue definitions work. First you must import the material into the creature in a body detail plan:

[ADD_MATERIAL:PLANT_STRUCTURE:<insert template name here>]

then you may use that in a tissue:

[TISSUE_TEMPLATE:PLANT_STRUCTURE_TEMPLATE_BFEL]
   [TISSUE_NAME:bark:bark]
   [TISSUE_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:PLANT_STRUCTURE]

either that or you can use an inorganic material

[TISSUE_TEMPLATE:PLANT_STRUCTURE_TEMPLATE_BFEL]
   [TISSUE_NAME:bark:bark]
   [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:METEORIC_IRON_HLG]

[BFEL]

Had that already, which is why this is so confusing....I assume I did something horribly wrong in the bdp? Weird that I fixed another (read:exactly the goddamn same) set of bugs associated with elfwood but this one still shows up:

Yes I am using your plant structure thing for some parts (vines and leaves)...and yes I know I still have to fix that one too, trying to figure out how to fix it up for mine first.

[Halfling]

Regardless of whether you've added an elfwood mat to your creature, [TISSUE_MATERIAL:ELFWOOD:BARK] is an incorrect way to define a tissue (or any) material. The format is LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:ELFWOOD.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Material_token
 
Don't need to fix using my template - the idea is not to import stuff from vanilla or other mods, not that we can't even use each others' work as that would be a little sisyphean.

Well I herped and I derped and I made trees made of mystery meat.

sisyphean.

O.O a word I don't know? Holy shit, this just got real.


EDIT: ok, disregarding further silliness.......WHY THE LITERAL FUCK ARE TREELORDS LISTED AS "Nothing" IN ARENA?

[Crustypeanut]

I think that would be because you didn't list their caste names? Let me take a look at what you have for the coding that you've posted, and see if I can spot it.

I have my different Vegipygmy castes named with placeholders right now, such as bluepygmy, greenpygmy, etc.

[BFEL]

Ok that news is now superceded by the fact I CANT TURN OFF DWARF FORTRESS.

THE FUCKER BROKE ARENA MODE.
THE HALFLING CANT KILL IT BUT IT CANT GET BACK TO CONSCIOUSNESS AND I CANT DO ANYTHING GODDAMMIT WHY CANT YOU FUCKING TURN DF OFF WITH THE GODDAMN RED "X"?

EDIT: ok, got it turned off with the resource manager.....hopefully.....It might just be sentient and playing dead.

[Halfling]

Sounds like a good time

Should prob post the raws indeed. If windows like it sounds, use your task manager at ctrl+alt+del to kill DF.

[BFEL]

The Treelords/elves as they currently exist.
Going to add[NOEXERT] because that was retarded.
Also prob gonna give them natural awesome skills at striker and kicker, as they can't use weapons and they have insanely terrible speed.
They are hilariously hard to kill though.

Hmm I don't see anything wrong with it to be honest.  I'll post my code, see if you can look at it and figure it out.  My code's very similar to Halfling's Halfling code, but modified to fit my own stuff.  I define the castes after I get all of their universally shared stuff out of the way - perhaps you should define all of the castes at once, then use [SELECT_CASTE:castenamehere] to define their independent attributes?  Not sure.  But heres the code, if it helps you at all.
