Oh, just one: patches. Raw patching. I don't know what form it would take, but anything that lets a file edit a previously-defined object would be good.

[Meph]

It's in my notes already.

It would be great to have something like: "entity_default.txt", and if a modder wants to add tags to it, he makes a "Diff_modder-name.txt" which just has

[ADD_TO:ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]
[PERMITTED_REACTION:X]
[ITEM_WEAPON:X]

[ADD_TO:ENTITY:FOREST]
blabla

[ADD_TO:REACTION_OTHER]
[reaction code]
etc.

That would solve most issues with mod merging.

Believe me, I'll do my best to get Tarn to add more mod support and to figure out how SteamWorkshop works with mods. After all I want to mod too.

Any specific requests? ^^

Nothing specific really, but I don't see why the majority of the things we do with DFHack couldn't be done with modding (excluding things like making custom gui's). Obviously it's a bit of a pipe dream, but shoot for the moon, blah blah blah...

[Meph]

I'd wish for your encyclopedia script to be an integral part of the game. ^^

Now I could be an idiot and it is actually possible to do this already, but a utility that allows you to check out the amount of items needed for a reaction. This would help with stuff like masterwork where the wiki is fairly bare bones. I know you can see the items needed for a reaction, but it does not list the amount, or at least not that i can see

Assuming I remember how the current reactions display works currently, it would be better to just fix that so that it also displays the number of items required, and make it accessible even if you have enough reagents to run the reaction. 'twould also be easier too, on account of just needing to add a hotkey and some additional code to the reaction display instead of creating at least one new display/menu entirely.

Am I the only one who is beginning to suspect that this whole Steam DF thing could end up becoming the partial UI overhaul that DF has needed since forever.

[slay_mithos]

I'm not sure about the steam workshop thing because of how it works (forces everyone to download the latest version, potentially wreaking saves and making a lot of problems with compatibility as a result), but if it means that we get even more cultist praying to the demon toad and no real negative impact on the game itself I'm all for it.

DF has been a cult classic for many years already, and if it ships with the better tilesets and such all that remains is the insane complexity that will drive many new people insane (meaning we get to enjoy more flooded forts and complains about animals having completely destroyed entire populations).

That looks fantastic to me, Good luck and Godsspeed Meph!

[SalmonGod]

Any plans to incorporate Revised or any aspects of it into Masterwork in the future?

[Meph]

Nope

Started with a bit of modding today. Custom fortress defense mod, with allies, enemies, thieves and cave-civs. I made 15 each, in 5 different difficulty settings. All use vanilla DF creatures as basis, so that players don't have to learn about made-up stuff by me. ^^

LOL.  I was wondering what the "release date" would be on Steam.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Time is subjective"

Hope it all works out well for Tarn and Zach

[Meph]

A few of the mod workshops in steam-df style:
Alchemist, Ore processor, Batch furnace, Volcanic forge, Javelin maker.
Alcohol refinery, Inventors workbench, crematory, Weaponry, Armory.
Quarry, Brick oven, Library section, Gunsmith, Exchange office.
Human trader, Dwarf trader, Goblin trader, Elf trader, Kobold trader.



 

They are not as super-high quality as the official tileset, but I think they are ok for a mod.
