New Version is up:

<<< Download: Masterwork Reborn v.006 - Kobolds >>> - (Dropbox mirror)

Here the next update... I got a strange mood and most of you will know what that means. Ehm... have fun with a pretty much done Kobold mode. I also standardized food stuffs, bones and fixed the dwarven armory, made all animals trainable and tanning now gives leather amounts based on the creatures size; and put a pre-liminary manual into the download.

Nice and clean food stuffs:


Kobolds:
Just like Dwarf mode it's much smaller than before, in this case the hexer/witchers got cut; as well as a signature feature: The stealing. :/ Without being able to trigger sieges and without the other races existing, it's a bit hard to steal from them (without downright making the features an exploit) and copying their tech (because it doesn't exist yet). Ogres and psychotropic toads are also gone, as is warpaint and tattoos.

Kobolds do have:
 - The usual items, weapons, armor, tools, toys, etc that you'd expect from a civilization.
 - They use smaller weapon version than the other races, mostly made of bone, wood or glass.
 - They use blowguns as ranged weapons.
 - Pets include tiny vermin-hunting raptors, giant cave spiders, scorpions, snakes and rats.
 - Best early weapon is the venom of said pets, to cover your blowdarts.
 - 18 custom workshop, including a Cheatsheet! that gives a quick overview.

Overall Kobold mode has gotten harder, mostly because of NO DIGGING and NO ACCESS TO METAL/STONE/GEM. It's much closer to the original Kobold Camp mod, with obvious Masterwork additions.

All kobold workshops:

Just two little things, didn't start playing this version yet.
1. The Dffd link is blank.(Not uploaded yet?)
2. You could change the Soundsense config so it won't ask for the gamelog with every new version.
currently

Code: [Select]

<gamelog encoding="Cp850" path="..\..\..\Dwarf Fortress 0.40.23\gamelog.txt"/>
<supplementalLogs>
<item path="..\..\..\Dwarf Fortress 0.40.23\ss_fix.log"/>
</supplementalLogs>better

Code: [Select]

<gamelog encoding="Cp850" path="..\..\..\Dwarf Fortress\gamelog.txt"/>

<item path="..\..\..\Dwarf Fortress\ss_fix.log"/>
</supplementalLogs>

[Meph]

Did add the link and changed the config. Thanks for both comments.

[Fairin]

All creatures are now trainable.
(this will be optional, once added to the GUI)

War keas ?

Hunting Cows / chickens!?

when can we armor them!? fear my mighty milita of iron clad war helmet snakes! >: )

[Meph]

There might be a way to armor any pet by altering one of IndigoFenix scripts, by changing tissue layers and just replacing their skin with metal.

But yes, currently you can have war/hunting everything, but it will be an option in the GUI, hopefully on the next update.

[Asva]

Small notice on disfunctional DFAnnouncementFilter.

Fixing is easy and that's how: in MasterworkDwarfFortress\Utilities\settings.txt change

Code: [Select]

Code: [Select]

Little thing:  large Pots have [TILE:232] (which looks like a bed), should be [TILE:238].

Edit:
Actually several of the tools seem to have the wrong tile.

[Meph]

Ah, yes, I forgot that the tools have tilenumbers They use the Ascii file, so all tools have the correct tile if you play an ascii tileset, but not if you play any graphical set. It's super easy to fix, now that I know about it. Thanks for the report.

Asva, thanks, I'll fix the link too.

I downloaded 006, enabled the other civ forts, created 5 maps, no kobold civilization. There are kobold towers though. Disabled human, no kobolds. Disabled all other civ forts in the gui, including dwarves, no kobold, but dwarves are still playable. Reinstall, and created maps with the default gui option where only kobold fort is enabled, no kobold.

[Meph]

Did you close DF between world generations? If you start DF, then make changes in the GUI, they wont take effect. You have to do the GUI stuff first, then open DF and gen a world.

Yes I did close DF between making changes. But DF crashed several times, that probably interfered with my experiments. After restarting my computer I was able to create worlds with playable kobolds with only kobold fort enabled. But it looks like that their civilization have no realms in all three maps I created, which may be why they can't be played when other forts are enabled, I guess.

[Meph]

You cant see them in the ingame civ tab, because they are SKULKING. Even in vanilla DF you never see kobolds on your neighbours tab.

Happy to see kobolds updated! Only played a little so far, but from what I can see no digging is tempered somewhat by the fact that wood is so plentiful now. Do you have any intention to create some sort of thieving mechanic, or is that just not going to be a feature of these kobolds? And if not, will they get a different personality? I like the fact that it's challenging, but it feels like the kobolds have lost some of the personality they had in the previous version.

[IndigoFenix]

All creatures trainable?  You do realize that will allow any domestic creature to show up in sieges, right?

Also, the gnomes have a reaction for actually armoring animals in the animal care workshop.

Could you describe what you mean with personality?

I'd love to give them some thieving, but I'd still need to work out exactly how... I was hoping the taverns update would allow for a few things.

Yes, that's why it will be an optional setting in the GUI, usually turned off. 2 Buttons, "all trainable war" and "all trainable hunt".

Crap, no, I did not. At least not that it works on any animal, I thought that had to do with your constructed ones.
