update!

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9734

now it's time to update the manual again. And take the first steps to port the mod to 40.xx

Edit: New file with the fixes on the reactions is up

[heydude6]

The main problem is that the mod can't be ported to 40.xx unless the spawnunit script or something like it is updated since the queen won't be able to lay eggs. Also makeown would also need to be updated

[than402]

 the spawn script has already been updated. the thing is, autosyndrome doesn't work anymore. now we'll have to use something called "reaction trigger". also we'll have to wait for the minion script and for the makeown script to be updated, though we can work around the  minion one if we really need to. lastly, without syndrome stones, I have no clue how transformations will work in the new dfhack. but what we can do is at least convert the creatures (gaits and stuff), the weapons and the entity file. also, the mod should be playable now. there will still be bugs/imbalances,but the main mass should be fixed by that moment.

insane, we really need to update the first post, by the way....

yeah. i'm considering making a completely new thread for it's official release. with an account all co-owners will know the password to.

[than402]

that's a neat idea. also, we need to test it a little bit more. We should all play a hive for some years and see what small or big bugs pop up...

[Vitellozzo]

Very very very very good. Now it's time to change hive, and then test all this new juicy stuff.
I really want to see the new waspen !SCIENCE! buildings most, and want to start a big cockroach farm!

[than402]

warning, however: bugs may or may not have flourished again. In the meantime, I'm updating the manual.

was playing v51? earlier and one egg didn't fert. it kept transforming into a hatching then into a egg

[than402]

yes, I fixed this bug

[Vitellozzo]

That was a male egg problem, which was trying to transform into a female egg type. It didn't ended well, but it was simple to fix for than.

[than402]

While writing the manual and shuffling through the reactions, I noticed several tweaks that can be made in organic weapons in order to make them more usable. I'll upload a new file later on with the tweaks.

[Vitellozzo]

Waiting for the fix to start a new fort.
Brace yourself.

[than402]

ok, here it is.

also, I've updated the manual and finished the Getting Started section. Now I want to make it more friendly to the user by adding hyperlinks.

-gauntlets now cover a better part of the arm

This is good.
What I've always forgot to say is that wasps tend to lose limbs very fast in real combat.

[than402]

lose limbs or tearing ligaments? because they're really not supposed to lose limbs that easily. soldier chitin is iron hard and even worker chitin is copper hard.
