I hope it's not that many work for meph and the other modders. I think i can not play DF without masterwork anymore.

From what I've read of the new features their probably going have to go back and test all the features. I feel really sorry for the dfhack guys!

Yeah, I'll volunteer some time once DFHack is updated. All modding revolves around that crew now, heh.

Got an issue/bug with human civ not drinking or eating, not becoming hungry or thristy but just slow walking
I also posted this on github (https://github.com/Meph248/MDF-Dev-Version/issues/6)

(copy-paste)
issue description:
I embarked with 60 meat and 61 drink, left foodstuffs inside the wagon.
Started doing other stuff like making a quarry, farms, felling trees, figuring out how to make the unique human buildings work.
It's summer now, about to be autumn, and after appointment of my bookkeeper it seems I still have my original 60 meat and 61 drink, I've not made extra food or drink so far.
I have only recently completed a well, a dining hall, and transferred all food into a stockpile, but no dice. Therapist doesnt show them being hungry or thristy, and they move really slowly.

if its relevant information, I embarked on a very hot area.

Possible issue with cooked food. Should prepared easy meals containing meat or eggs be going rotten?

edit:I apologize, fedobear, I was reporting a separate issue. I didn't read your post there. Sorry for the confusion!

[fedobear]

wouldn't people be starving or drinking from the well then?

Hey meph, seeing as the new version did not end up fixing it, would you be willing to tweak masterworks raws as it concerns ranged weapons in line with the findings and tweaks in this thread? http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=115448.0    Currently bolts have the power of modern tank cannons in terms of penetrative power. There is ample evidence that the default values are entirely the result of oversight/pressing 0 a few too many times.

changing SHOOT_FORCE and the like along those  lines as suggested by the findings of the thread would positively affect the balance of ranged combat and it would roughly fall in line with laws of physics and the  balance other weapons have in correspondence with armor materials. Bone bolts and the like are still lethal against unarmoured targets and so on, just makes it so theres a point to steel bolts and the like. the purpose isn't 'nerfing' ranged combat, it's to rein it in to a general baseline that is even slightly grounded in real physics. The advanced simulation features of dwarf fortress' combat, after all, are worthless if aspects of it ignore all properties of the materials they encounter, essentially.

It would give an actual purpose to the guns you've added as well, being able to penetrate all armor with ease as before and having higher damage.

I'm interested enough in the topic that I'm actually thinking of restarting the mans project and finishing it up myself. I'd be more than willing to do the work myself and submit a masterwork version to you if you'd care at all for it.

I think that's in there already.

Meph - Are you planning on releasing a 5.11 to round everything off? I ask because I, for one, don't plan on touching DF2014 for quite some time - it doesn't seem to add much of interest compared to MW, as far as I'm concerned =D

A) Bashing the new release is occurring far too much on the forum right now. Don't look so happy about it.
B) Meph will have a mod for DF2014 as soon as dfHack is updated. No sooner, probably not much later. When that happens is out of his control.

is there a way to turn off the multi z lvl watch thingy? think my fps is having a hard time with it

What exactly does the pagan-shrine-thing do? I've managed to consecrate the thing to "Edo Whatshisface the Ultralord of Cheesy Titles", and have been sacrificing barrels of fish to him for a season or two, but I haven't gotten any prayer xp, mystical gifts from the heavens, weird-colored smoke, spooky messages or anything. Am I wasting resources or is this doing something behind the scenes?

It depends on the sphere(s) associated with the particular god.  Some of them have a more noticeable effect than others, and some don't do much of anything at all.  I'll work more on this once Masterwork in general and DFHack in particular are updated for the new version.

Just checking in real quick: What do you guys think, should I continue? I didnt get much feedback so far, but thats understandable with the DF2014 release. If no one wants more time to test the humans, I will continue modding tomorrow.

[Pwnzerfaust]

I'm liking the playable humans so far. My only complaint is the extremely fast anti-cave adaptation. I would recommend increasing the time required for it to happen by a factor of 2-4 times. This would still prevent living underground, while at the same time making shaft mining viable, yet keeping pit mining incentivized so you don't have to worry about it at all.

Just my own opinion, but you should probably finish your goals for this in v0.34.11 and then port it all over to v0.40.02. Knowing the size of your mod, that'll take some time.

I believe the "stones" screen in-game, which show all stones, is probably cluttered with a lot of reaction stuff. I think deleting from each of those [IS_STONE] removes them from that list while having no side-effects if people aren't supposed to use those to make stone items.

The stone screen is alphabetically sorted and has no syndrome-related stuff anymore. I think you are talking about an older version?

And yes, I plan to work on df34 for a while, until Toady made a couple of bugfix releases. It would drive me mad if people report crashes, and I cant distinguish from mod or vanilla sources.
