That is very much vanilla behavior. ಠ_ಠ

You have to alt-move onto it, and even then it requires you enter from a direction where the ramp beneath is actually usable.

Thanks!

And also big thanks for the mod itself!

Little question about smithing:

Would it be possible to make it requiring a stone/metal smithing hammer to craft with metal bars instead of a "simple" stone?
I know you can add new weapons due to the existence to mods containing new weapons/armor etc. , tho i don't know if you
need DFHack for it.

[Random_Dragon]

It would be possible to add a hammer to the recipe, either a warhammer or adding in a tool version. Granted, I'd be more tempted to do so if we had more options for adventurer-built workshops. As it stands it's more like you're hammering the metal into shape, which realistically would only make sense for the softer metals, or for really crude items.

[Malakor]

What about heating the metal bars into a campfire, giving them a (bendable) state so you can form them with the hammer?
Just throwing in ideas, maybe something like that is possible.

Btw. a question in general:
Did vampires get the ability to increase thier attributes?
I noticed my vampire increased 2 of his attributes while being vampire-cursed by a god.

[Random_Dragon]

It would be nice if "heated by fire" was a property reactions could cite, but no. Easier would be to just make the reaction require some form of fuel.

And some vampire curses do that, yes. >.>

[Random_Dragon]

Nyahahah. And now...well, mostly just made megabeast-tier body materials restricted to legit megabeasts. On the plus side, the designated "megabeast-tier chitin" role is now filled by a new monster.

Also a few minor lair-forming beasties to add some more Fun.

Hey! Remember me? I'm just wondering what all you have medicine-wise in your mod, and how far you could go with it. Specifically I am interested in applying ointments to various wounds to fight infections and aid healing, or brewed drinkable medicines that do things like numb pain or heighten senses. Is any of that possible to do? What about giving medical care to your companions? I have some other ideas on alchemy as well, but I won't bombard you with those just yet. If your interested in my thoughts on alchemy and medicine please let me know!

Thanks!

[Random_Dragon]

There are some items along those lines. Most of them are limited because adventure-mode healing is very oddball. Slow outside of fast-travel, while resting or traveling rapidly advances healing. No sign of any syndrome effect that can affect infections, as well.

All of them are available in the cooking/alchemy crafting category, either from plants or a megabeast heart. They're listed in the OP under Appendix E, but I'll list your medical options here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Plant options:
1. Dwarven syrup and gnomeblight are not really useful.
2. Muck roots, in season in parts of summer and autumn, can be made into marshmend. Boosts recuperation some, but also causes numbness.
3. Valley herbs, harvestable in spring, have ye olde golden salve. Golden salve adds a MUCH higher recuperation boost. No idea if it's enough to slow blood loss, but it might.
4. Whip vines, also in summer and fall, can be made into whiplash. Boosts speed and agility some, in exchange for nausea and dizziness later on.
5. Sliver barbs, available in fall and winter, can be used to make barbed haze. Combat drug, boosts strength and endurance, makes you fearless, immune to pain, and immune to stunning. Eventually also makes you crazed and thus aggro allies, along with eventually sharply reducing speed and causing drowsiness.

Semimegabeast/Megabeast hearts:
1. Mi-go hearts yield aetherbreath, making you immune to suffocation.
2. Dragon hearts yield draconic fury. Willpower boost, martial trances, and fire breath.
3. Giant hearts yield giant's might. Pure strength boost.
4. Ettins yield insight. Just boosts various mental stats.
5. Minotaurs yield relentlessness. Immunity to exertion, stunning, and pain.
6. Hydrae yield tranmutation. Transformation into a hydra, and thus two shots of complete regeneration.
7. Gargoyles yield stoneskin. Makes your body hardened against attacks.
8. Rocs yield swiftness. Speed and agility boost.
9. Cyclopes yield true seeing. Extravision and ability to sense most creatures through walls.
10. Eternal things yield eternity. Randomly-triggered boosts to skill rolls.

[philli46]

Haha silly me, I guess I didn't look hard enough... Time to start a new alchemy based adventurer.

[King_of_Baboons]

Don't know if I asked this before but is this compatible with all races playable mod?

If not,how do I make,say,giants and leech men,to be adv playable?

[Random_Dragon]

Like with any extensive raw-changing mod, it'd be hard to say. For making them so, depends on whether you want an actual civilization, or just ensuring they can be chosen as outsiders.

There's the [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE] creature token that allows you to make given species playable as outsiders. Granted, adding that to ALL intelligent creatures would be a pain in the ass, but you could massively reduce the hassle by going to the very end of the animal-person creature variation (in c_variation_default) and where you'll see this:

Code: [Select]

[CV_NEW_TAG:CAN_LEARN]
[CV_NEW_TAG:CAN_SPEAK]
[CV_NEW_TAG:EQUIPS]
[CV_NEW_TAG:CANOPENDOORS]
[CV_NEW_TAG:LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]
[CV_NEW_TAG:LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES]

You can add [CV_NEW_TAG:OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE] to it. In Adventurecraft's version of the file, there's a second animal-person variation for the creature-variant underground animalpeople (due to resizing bugs), since these can already be played as outsiders no change there is needed.

That'll definitely bloat the race-selection screen with choices though.

[☼Another☼]

Is it meant to be that the make leather (the only one I did) sandals makes only one sandal?

[Random_Dragon]

Odd. It should be a pair, I'll double-check. I've also discovered that the reaction for making scepters doesn't work, so I'll have that fixed as well.

EDIT: Swiftly fixed.

[Random_Dragon]

Yet another derpy update. Main change is adding gambesons, and also options for crafting masks, which in turn have been changed to not compete with helmets.

Haircloth gambesons will also be less of a joke due to hair now getting in on the material tier business.

Also minor stuff like removing the now-obselete fake weapon axes, and some tweaks so that various tools (stone axes, sewing needles, cooking pots, bone glue) can hopefully spawn in some civilzation inventories and cite sane materials.

[oh]

Is it intentional that the DFFD zip download contains only an RTF readme file? If so, why?

Loved the mod back when it was downloadable btw!

(The .04 version contains a raw directory so I'm assuming you just goofed when you packaged the .05 version)
