I have just discovered that giant tigers are HUGE, needless to say they make wonderful entry guards, often ripping goblin thieves limb-from-limb
Are giant tigers in vanilla that large, and are the ones in EDF supposed to be 8X the size of a normal tiger?

[Deon]

Yes they are!

I just uploaded a release 9.

- Fixed some quirks with animal venoms (thanks CryptoCactus).
- Humans are back to monarch-less state as in vanilla.

[milo christiansen]

Yes they are!

... Wow ... You should see what a wartrained giant tiger does to an IRON ARMORED goblin, it is a thing of beauty.

Any-way, r9
Looks like it's time to update Better Dorfs again

The hack/include folder isn't necessary.

[Deon]

Yeah, that looks like a list of header files for compilation, however I never tried to remove anything from the hack after it was distributed. It's just 3 Mb after all . Still, thanks for the heads up.

I just tried the graphics version and upstairs and downstairs designation in undigged areas are both invisible.

Btw, thank you for this mod. I made many of those changes myself but i like the ore/gems stuff you did and having this available here. I'll probably revert cats back to cats. Can't see what's essential in changing them!? I have to test more but i think i'm unable to assign named pets and alynxes generally to cages.

Edit2: r9 for ASCII?

[Deon]

Oops, thank you Lechium, I've just uploaded the r9 for ASCII.
I will take a look at the stairs designation issue.

Changing cats to alynxes is just my personal preference. I just feel like bigger cats are more useful for hunting/fur/meat than small house cats .

I get that and it's your mod, do whatver you want. I don't even really care how cats are called, but what bugs me is your dislaimer for this mod to be a modding base and just uncluttered "essential" DF. So imo flavour changes should be more like add-ons to that.

[Deon]

Yep, but only the cats are changed . I mean it's not a big deal for a mod to change it, and mostly it's a modbase for my own mods, hehe. I get what you mean.

[lwCoyote]

Does Essential DF include the bug fixes from Modest? I'm assuming no, based on the first post, but figured I'd ask just in case I'm wrong

[Deon]

Which bugs do you mean?
And what do you mean by "based on the first post"? The first post has this:
- The game launches alongside with DFHack which patches all fixed by community bugs and errors.

What else? Let me know and I will include it .

[expwnent]

Posting to watch.

[palu]

It would be nice if you made the Alynxes optional, or at least a version with normal cats. But it's your mod, I understand if you dont want to, I could probably do it myself.

[MobRules]

I so wanted to try this mod... but even though you don't say anywhere that it's Windows only, I unzipped the file to a bunch of dll's so I guess it is

Are there any plans to do a linux version?

[Deon]

Hi! This is for 0.34.11.

It will work with linux because it's just a bunch of text files. You just need to replace the /raw/ folder, and then copy the tileset over and adjust your linux init.txt and d_init.txt.
