I'm getting most of it by looking at what Masterwork did, and that's what it seems they did. I intend for the sandstorms to cause bleeding in any suitably unprotected fool who wanders into them with some kind of contact syndrome. I'm not sure how to test it; I have a Liquid Sunshine rain weather system for good areas, but it's not something that can be triggered, so I'm not sure if it's working right. It's very irritating.

Anywho, I've created some trees and grass to help liven up the environment a bit:

Again, not sure how to test a vermin, so I'll have to go with just theoretical functionality.

EDIT: Er...yeah. Always proofread before posting. It seems water striders are immune to homicidal fury...I should fix that...

[Meph]

I have facehugger vermin in the third cavern that work almost the same way... they implant a very slow syndrome into a dwarf, and after a while they transform into a green devourer. Should be a bit like alien-hatching.

The dew-beetle for honeymead sounds familiar too, but I would really like to see that gold-web spider. I havent worked with custom webs yet, and I wonder if they are collected for the loom correctly or not. I think there was a problem with inorganic webs, because the material is missing the SILK tag ?

I would LOVE to see that dictionary, and instantly add it into MasterworkDF. It has always bothered me that the names are always the same. No matter the NSFW stuff, it would go in.

Sandstorms are indeed regional weather interactions, you can just ramp up the frequency to test them. I plan a blizzard/freezing rain/sleet and hail for glaciers in the future, and you have to wear fur-clothing to counteract those.

You'll see it soon. I shrunk it down to 20 000 words by removing alternative spellings though.

Here's some progress I've made on the utilities to use this language file, for anyone interested (demonstration of symbol script):

Hi! I am just reading.Is there a playable version?I wanna try it.

[StLeibowitz]

Hi! I am just reading.Is there a playable version?I wanna try it.

First post has the raws for download. Just remove the vanilla raw folder and put ours in its place, start it up, and gen a new world! You'll have to wait a few more days for the glorious inclusion of insects that I've been working on, but right now it's got haflings, BFEL's elves, and various forms of moss and ducks and such.

[HDViper]

Sounds great !Now i will be a patiend dwarf.

[Halfling]

Wow, just wow.
I would definitely want to try this out.

Shall I sign you up?

Yes, for modding or for playing, either one.

Let's make it both! You don't have to jump out of the player pool if you're not feeling like it at the time since we're going it auction style.

In other news, the language utility scripts are mostly done, a 20k word vocabulary is done, creating symbols works like this: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127552.msg4374256#msg4374256

And creating things like this:

Spoiler: Some of the notable residents of the region of Warlordsshetlands (click to show/hide)

There's so many possible names everyone pretty much has their own unique first name and definitely unique last name in a small world. However, creating symbols is going to take time (my limited ones make it use Abapical a lot for kingdoms and groups) and I don't want to release it with stupid symbols, I think, since those will stick and it doesn't demonstrate its capabilities. But if you want this version, PM me.

[mastahcheese]

Now to spend my free time thinking of bizarre yet plausible things to add, awesome.

[Graknorke]

PTW.
This is neat.

[BFEL]

I found a problem with the treelords, though. Namely, they can't resurrect elves properly. The elf is revived and immediately bleeds to death. This may or may not have something to do with the method of death--namely, combat with a Pale Rider--but it's notable to mention. I also definitely saw the Molten Skin problem.... Also, Elven by-products are occasionally referred to by the creature name and not the caste name. !!Treelord Muscle!! existed from me butchering the elf corpse to stop the spam from happening.

GODDAMMIT! I am getting so sick of the phrase "problem with the Treelords" 

But yeah, thought I fixed that, but I'm pretty sure them bleeding to death is because the interaction uses [REQUIRES:FIT_FOR_RESURRECTION] instead of [REQUIRES:FIT_FOR_ANIMATION].....or something.....Interactions just kinda hate my guts. I once copy-pasted the vanilla imps Fireball interaction into my creature raws and it broke. Yeah that's ridiculous.

Also I hate this crap with the Creature/Caste name bullshit and the stupid "molten skin" crap. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, WHY DOES THIS MOD HATE ME SO?

[mastahcheese]

I've never had any problems with the Creature/Caste distinction, it came rather naturally to me, if you want I can try to look through some of it when I get time to see what I can help with.

The sole entries related to them in the errorlog are about them being unrecognized in the entity file. From the entity file for the Formics:

Located at the end of the file. Their absence is annoying me greatly. I cannot seem to make items work, so something must be wrong somewhere, and so far as I know only the entity and items file are related to these things.

[mastahcheese]

Why does it say "##Armory##" at the top of the entity file? That might have something to do with it.

[Halfling]

@BFEL: I'm just going to quote something for you.

The first of the firstborn, the halflings Adam and Eve, instantly conflagrated and burned with inner heat while trying to kill each other out of mercy. So god declared living creatures should not have a higher inner temperature than it takes to melt their flesh. Next verse, god decides the spine and the skull are to be inside a halfling's body and not on the surface, and that clothing is to be worn on the skin and not on the skeleton. Later still, trying to create hair, the creator makes everyone grow hair as thick as their bones all over their bodies, that's in all the colors of the rainbow in patches. Next verse details the creation of the "face" in the front of the head to be home to various formerly randomly scattered body parts

later:

Bugfix 1: no longer in unix linefeed format (durr)! Halfling carpentry reaction fixes
Bugfix 2: it came up that Halflings were upset about not having shoes. Created open sandals for now.
Bugfix 3: MEAT IS NO LONGER WORTH INFINITE NEGATIVE MONEY

Moral of the quote: we all have serious, ridiculous problems because creating new, original stuff is hard, especially if you're not someone who has been modding since the beginning of time. I mean, my world was originally crashing and broken. Leibowitz's giant wasps had no head and could not breathe or stand initially. It's not just you, so don't take it personally. What's important is how you pick yourself up and keep going. Furthermore most things are going fine for your elves. Have this from legends mode:



...but that said, try to work on those remaining bugs. We'll have a look at them too but they're your legacy for the mod.

I took the liberty of reuploading a version of your addons where the "molten skin" part is fixed, it's downloadable on the first page (redownload pack with BFEL's stuff).

[WillowLuman]

We need perhaps to use more symbols, those names are even more baffling than vanilla.
