That actually sounds pretty cool. Definitely gives you reason to play in colder regions.

Would the metal still melt like ice, or is it going to be usable in warmer climates as well?

[Urdothor]

If you mix it with something at the tribal magic workshop(because primitive tribal creatures) no it wouldnt melt.
But otherwise, yes it would melt like normal.

[Urdothor]

Maybe I'll make it to where 'properly aligned' ice, for use in weapons and such, has a slightly higher melting point. That way it can be used in say certain normal conditions but not others.
Or keep it normal...

Thoughts?

[Urdothor]

I made it possible to play music through a reaction at one of my new workshops.
Yay.

Now quick question.
What effects should have?

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Depends on whether it's supposed to be happy, generic, whatever. Maybe a no sleep or no eat, but, while those are the only effects that are even vaguely mood-related, they still make very little sense.

[Urdothor]

Maybe have the halflings speed increase? Like have a fast tempo that energizes everyone

Edit: I said dwarves.
Ha... I need sleep

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I'm not sure that's possible, actually. Does it work via a syndrome or using something else?

[Urdothor]

I stole a little bit of the alchemy part, and nerfed it down a bit to fit something as simple to do as music.
Too the best of my knowledge, the alchemy works, so this should.

[Urdothor]

I might make playing music just an Adventure mode thing.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

I'm pretty sure the only things that have been properly tested alchemy-wise are the explosions (mostly unintentionally) and the healing effects. Maybe the oculentibus potion, too, but I'm not sure.

[Timeless Bob]

"Discordant Music" could raise the dead
"Music of the Spheres" could speed up healing
"Recite an Epic Saga" could increase wakefulness
"Badly Sing the National Anthem" could cause all the halflings within earshot to berzerk... (AKA: The Rossanne Barr.)

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Excellent ideas, Timeless Bob.

And "Music of the Icy Wastes" could...freeze things? I don't know, just thought you might want some music specifically for your new race, Urdothor. Specific music for each race is something we've all thought about implementing, now that I think of it. The cricket-like worker hymns of the Formic, for one, maybe some church-y ominous organ music for the cherubim, techno for the mechaniacs.

How is the music represented in adventure mode?

[Urdothor]

Right now, it just occurs by a reaction.
I'm going to attempt to change it into a instrument specific interaction.

Currently, it spawns a boulder that immediately combusts into syndrome gas.

So you all want race specific adventure mode songs with specific effects?

I'll try that.

[Urdothor]

Its too bad I cant make a specific background theme play during each song...

[Dwarf4Explosives]

Actually, could you try an interaction or something like that that spreads the effects (syndrome boulder should still work for this), and uses a sound effect*? The basics for this are already to be found with the "bark" interactions used by hounds, I believe. If you can figure that out, we can probably add the appropriate versions to instruments.

You're adding a lot of much-wanted stuff to DFScratch, Urdothor. Good job !
