1.) That's a moot point until DFHack gets back on its feet. Whether the plugin itself needs to be refurbished... that's up in the air, really. Probably not, but don't quote me on that.

2.) Not in a way you mean, no. Most of the text bits that banter is assembled from are embedded inside Dwarf Fortress.exe and can be screwed with to a limited extent using a certain tool, but you can't alter how the game applies them. You can't modify the quest system, either.

Some minor speech bits can be freely altered, however. Look inside \data\speech.

1) correct- wait for dfhack. Plugin (well script) will probably not need refurbishing. But i would love to rewrite, both to allow  other scripts issue similar jobs AND to allow you order around your companions.

2)we'll see... text files might be saved separately actually...

What do you mean "we'll see"? Are you holding out on some experimental DFHack magic that'd further our ability to fuck with the game?

I was experimenting with advmode quest system. If new quest types were added it might be possible to extend it. Also there is almost no info about what is new in structures yet.
Generally: wait and see

I think I had some insight on the dark fortress crash, which I'll try to test when I'm home. I believe that SITE_VARIABLE_POSITIONS is required on dark fort entities.

What exactly are the martial trances that the TRANCES creature tag enables?

It boosts stats and speed. Not sure exactly what it does, I think it increases willpower (pain tolerance), endurance, toughness and agility. Maybe strength too.

Is adding this to a core race like a Dwarf offshoot potentially too powerful?

Come on, when was the last time you saw a dwarf in a martial trance? It's more of a seasoning that might help tip a hopeless situation towards better every once in a blue moon.

That tag also dictates "industrial trances" - strange moods.

I actually don't recall seeing martial trances happening, are they something normal dwarves get?

Also, do you mean it allows them to have strange moods as well?

The legends say that when a military dwarf is cornered and outnumbered in battle, they may jerk into state of divine fighting flow that gives them a big bonus to all rolls for a short time.

The exact mechanism? Dimly understood.

So what you're saying is, add it to damn near every race in my mod and watch the awesomeness happen once in awhile.

Is it possible to simply add more lines of text to those speech-files, and then the game automatically selects one at random, when it has to?

Now you're making me very curious.

Yeah, that's it. Go hog wild.

If you use the WEBBER token for a playable race, are there any issues that arise? I'd hate to add my spider people only to find out there's some unforseen issue if they web everything.

I think I had some uncouth on the dark fortress crash, which I'll try to test when I'm home. I believe that SITE_VARIABLE_POSITIONS is required on dark fort entities.

i tried it (among other things), still crashes. I guess the walkaround is the best option for now - which is a shame.
