FWIW orcs can make nice cameo glass, with decorated stained glass goblets  

(well, better once I fix the cobalt glass reaction typos)

[jimboo]

Cameo glass sounds nice, as does stained glass.  Cobalt glass was used for the base of the Portland vase, nobody's quite sure how the white glass glaze w/ detailed engraving was done; for many years, that was an ongoing contest among top glassmakers.

New 32x32 dwarf sprites... coming soon.

How do I make my dwarves magical? Do I have to use a workshop, or they just come as immigrants?

[Meph]

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking about. There are a few rare dwarven mages that have become a mage by reading a slab in world-generation, but you cant make mages yourself in fort mode.

Well you can, but you need to already have a book with the desired secret written in it and a library zone.

So either embark on a tower, steal a book with an adventurer and drop it off, or just embark near a tower a hope they're dumb enough to bring the book to you. Then set up a library.

New 32x32 dwarf sprites... coming soon.

Look excellent to me on a casual glance. Any chance you'll release these under a creative commons license, are they crowd funded?

I haven't yet used a 32x32... on widescreens it might be pretty cool. The other question I had, with the TWBT thing, does that support (PNG) animation? I read vaguely somewhere it does. That would add a pretty powerful element to the UI (beyond animation changes every tick).

[Meph]

I made them.

TWBT does not support APNG.

Any use for an artifact wooden hand cannon in dwarf mode? Dwarves seem to lack guns and gunpowder, and I've never seen the humans bring any to trade, so I kind of doubt it can be used.

How'd you acquire it

[GhostDwemer]

I acquired the hand cannon from a bowyer strange mood. It's wood because a bowyer will always grab a bowyer's workshop and make a wooden ranged weapon. Moody dwarves can make just about anything in the raws, regardless of whether their civilization knows how. In the base game I've had moody bowyers make blowguns.

after 1,5 years my military dwarfs suddenly start to kill each other. Mb bug with sparring?

1) Should questions on Ye Olde Masterwork go in this thread, some other, or should there be a YOM thread?  Does anyone besides me still mess around with YOM?     

2) New releases used to come with a changelog at thread’s top but I can’t see one anymore; somewhere else?  96 pages is a lot of skim searching --

3) A looks-like-it-died thread from Meph on 01 October, “Who wants to play a community fort?”: did this ever start?  Listed on the Community thread?    ??   

[IlFedaykin]

The fort never started, mostly for lack of players. I was about to create a thread but got some IRL problems. If you start one count me in, tho.

[jimboo]

Three or four players can make an interesting Community fort and it’s a great learning experience (for players, lurkers and as feedback for Meph) but there needs to be a good theme.  My forts are most always some variation of Greedy Little Bastards, dwarves living ‘as they should’ in the mountains, digging deep for gold and magma, encrusting everything possible with jewels and fighting off strong sieges and invasions.  But it’s been done now several times.   And really, the first couple of years is fairly boring with design and FPS logistics considerations.  But if somebody else comes up with a good idea, I’ll also take a rotation slot.
