<STRONG>Further testing. It's definitely that file. I've tried deleting specific entries from creature_standard.txt to see if there was a particular entry that was giving me trouble, but that's not the case. If that file exists at all, I can't generate a new world. Even if the file is totally empty and contains no data whatsoever.

But as soon as I delete that empty file, DF will generate a new world with no problems.

it doesn't like the creature_standard.txt file in your "backup" directory either.

That is... pretty weird. Hasn't happened to me at all. Are you sure it's creature_standard that's messing up and not creature_new? I don't think I really changed much of anything with creature_standard except one or two creature tokens..

[Name Lips]

Figured it out.

It was user error.

Full description of problem: I unpacked the files to data\objects instead of raw\objects

But hey, at least if somebody else has the same problem, they now know how to fix it.

What is a deblocker and uncutter?

Deblocker lets you turn blocks of stuff back into its material components (ie. a block of iron will deblock into hematite) in the smelter. This lets you buy blocks of more useless metal from traders and deblock them to get better stuff.

Is it just me, or are purring hornets freakingly clumsy? Hmm... They seem harmless from a 2 tile distance, as they move about 1 tile per 5 turns.

Really? That's odd, they should actually move twice as fast as a standard rookie dwarf.. Hrm. They're set speed 500 (normal is 1000) and are fliers. Are its legs broken or something?

Woops! I missed that, it'll be fixed the next version. Yes, it's just a copy-paste of the tigerman entity. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I would like a mind controling evil fish. To bad we can't add that.

[Helmaroc]

hmm... they (purring hornets) also all have the flashing red + on them too, I've seen huge groups like this, but non are really wounded. Same with tunnel worms.

Maybe he forgot to give them lungs/throats?
I think that means that they are winded.

[Helmaroc]

Perhaps. It's kinda funny watching X-tremely deadly beasts stumble around and if you move a few spaces once in a while, they will be tortured by always being almost there...then you move just a liiittle more...almost gotcha...repeat until satisfied.  :p

[JustOnePixel]

Yeah, every time I enter a new area with purring hornets in adventure mode I get a bunch of messages saying "The purring hornet falls over."  The odd thing is that while they move slowly, they're not listed as "on the ground."  Then they catch up to me and I get ruined  

P.S. Arachnids?  Best thing to happen to DF adventure mode in ages.  Nothing says "bitches gonna die" like a half man, half spider monstrosity with claws.

Is this topic the best place to download the most updated version of the mod? I'm not seeing orcs anywhere.
