started aventure mode and creating human with skills, archer skill is listed twice

Thanks, fixed it.

One was CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME:BOWMAN the other was CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME:RANGED_COMBAT, both had Archer as name, because it fits. Now its Bowman and Archer.

i noticed there are now classes for the human, do they have an impact on gameplay or are they just cool names in adv mode

[Meph]

The castes where there before. The have natural skills or higher skill learn rates.

If i try to use the "startdwarf" script in dfhack before embark.

E: RuntimeError: ./hack/scripts/startdwarf.rb:15: too low
 ./hack/scripts/startdwarf.rb:15
 (eval):5:in `load'
 (eval):5
 (eval):5:in `catch'
 (eval):5

I also tryed the "dwarves" script which seems to do the same, also doesn't work, but doesn't bring an errormessage either.

Getting a weird crash in Spring of year 2 when the goblins come to trade (playing orcs). Not sure what's doing it because each time it happens at a different point. Also the Shaggy Mumaks are intelligent now, but I'll report that in the orc thread.

Sounds like Meph and Boltgun know the cause of the intelligent creatures being a new succubus script.   

I wonder if the goblin trader crash is related, like if DFHack meddling with already-intelligent troll pets is more problematic than with animals.  That's total speculation though.  Save games are helpful for repeatable crashes, otherwise there's not much we can do to investigate.

How I love dfhack scripts that just affect about everything instead of what they should

Another thing before I forget, is there an easy way to increase the amount of savagery in the custom maps? It kind of sucks embarking into a dense forest with a pack of orcs and only seeing pangolins for the next year and a half. Where's me giant lions?

Are you sure you followed all of the steps in the documentation?  The computer screen must be facing east toward a full moon, the keyboard must be made of either dog or deer bones, and player has to actually wear the ceremonial black robe.  Can't just have it folded nearby.

This is what the utility Perfect World is for, but the learning curve on that one is a little steep.  There are some perfect world presets included with MWDF, but none is specifically a high-savagery map (indeed, too much savagery is hard to get civs to even place at worldgen, much less survive history.)  Some do offer predictable savagery, though.  For instance, the "garden of gaia" intro map has high savagery at the periphery and low savagery around the central lake.  You can find info on all the custom maps in the Manual.html file in the root directory of the masterwork zip file, under "Welcome to MDF!" -> Choosing a World.

Currently, large bone pots are pretty useless because they are absorptive; they can't be used for food or drink, and using them for other tasks risks clogging your still and kitchen with pots that they can't use but will never move from their stockpile, as you can't specify materials for pots in a stockpile.

I've made a personal change that I thought I'd suggest; adding [CAN_GLAZE] to bone makes them work like clay pots, requiring a glaze. They function perfectly after glazing for all uses, from my testing. This doesn't make complete real-world sense as bone chars at a lower temperature than a glaze is applied at, but even if you don't make them glazeable as such, some kind of reaction to seal bone pots would be very useful as they fill the same low-weight container niche as wicker bins.

really enjoying playing masterwork DF again
But i found something where i don't know if it's intentional or not. Playing with my human fort i wanted to buy a pair of dogs from the pet merchant, but when i bought them i got 2 named wild(untamed) dogs running wild in my base. They where quickly put down by my guard b4 i even realised it.
Do i need to have a cage ready? and why are they named?

How do I make elves use the K33N sprites? I don't know what texture pack to use.

Heya Meph. Just wanted to report that my grazers are starving to death despite eating massive quantities of grass. In fact, 2 yaks/horses/whatever seem to clear a 31x31 pasture in a few minutes. Graze coefficient is set to default.

also, level 3 cavern moss seems to grow floor tiles as if they were grass once you break through. Don't know if it's related.
