Martial Arts mod and various additions therein.

Hindentanic, as in "Uncrashable".  

This version is probably still not crash-proof, but at least human fort mode didn't crash midsummer as other ones did, so I suspect I did something right here.

"Something" was remaking the original suspected culprit - ribs.

Concept and most of the content by Sean Mirrsen

Function:_________________________________________

This mod diversifies the melee attacks (unarmed attacks, specifically) of most of the creatures in the world of DF.
It also adds a whole lot of new creatures, weapons, armors, and other items.

This version seems at least reasonably stable, so I shall release it as it is.

Installation:_____________________________________

First, back up your DF copy's "raw\objects" folder.
Then extract the contents of the archive into your main DF folder, overwriting anything in the way.
Then run the provided setup batch file. "martmod_166_setup" for this version.

This mod has separate files you can remove or deactivate.
You can choose to have no extra weapons, armor, ammo, creatures, or entities.
Additionally, there is a file with megabeast entities. You can choose to activate it, but bear in mind that it can cause further stability problems in the game.

After changing the state of any of the extensions, you will need to erase all files in the data\objects directory.
You can do this manually, or by running the "mod_clean_objects.bat" batch file provided in the raws folder (where you would be changing filenames around    

New trap components!
- Rotating fanblades! Chop your enemy into many little pieces! Can pump water with minimum modification!
- Huge smashing hammers.
- Reciprocating battering rams, of wood or metal. Handy bludgeoning alternative to upright spikes.

Finally, New engraving images!
- I won't list them. Look for yourself or be surprised.

Optional components:______________________________

- Megabeast entities. Turn them on by renaming the "entity_martmod_megabeast_off" file to have "on" at the end.
Note, however, that having them may further decrease the mod's stability.

Caution:__________________________________________

This mod hasn't been thoroughly tested.

Report any bugs or unexpected behavior to this thread.

Also , IF ANYONE CAN GET A SAVE THAT ALWAYS REPRODUCES A RANDOM CRASH , please upload it to DFFD so I can ask Toady to fix it.

Have fun!

Do not forget:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New creatures only appear in a new generated world!
Also, mod compatibility to previous versions is broken, as always.

[Kashyyk]

this sounds interesting

[Fenrir]

I'm a purist, so I wouldn't use it in any permanent or meaningful way (I might mess around in adventure mode a little), but it sounds cool!

[Moocow]

This sounds like some good adventurer material.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hmm... I don't think zombies are supposed to do that...  oh well.  :p

Ninja-zombies!

What? How would someone deliver a slash with their wrists?!

[MyBeardIsOnFire]

Those are emo elves and they deliver slashes TO wrists?

So it works? I thought the creatures have some sort of weird preference mechanism, which prevents them from utilizing more than two attacks...
I would certainly play an adventurer-only world just for kicks!

[Sean Mirrsen]

I thought elves were somewhat physically frail (their kicks and knee attacks have less maximum damage), so I thought I'd at least give them a chance to retaliate with magic. They, as per the message, "channel spiritual energy, and strike", meaning the use of something like a magic wristblade. I initially thought to use something like a "karate-chop" with the wrists, but there's plenty blunt damage attacks already, and elves with their wooden weapons need to have an "edge".  

Anyways, here's the file with changes for the standart and subterranean creatures.

Some notes:
Beware the dragons.
And the iron men.
And goblins, but for a different reason...  I don't know what mood I was in when I made it that way, but you're free to remove that bit from the definition.

 :eek:
Wow.
Just...
Wow.

[AlanL]

Hah, well if the names mean anything gobbos are perverts anyway XD

Good job on the mod  

[Sithlordz]

The Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks you in the upper body.
It is smashed into an unrecognisable mass!
You are propelled by the force of the blow!
You hit an obstacle!
You have exploded in gore!
The Chuck Norris begins eating your corpse, because he's so freaking tough.
You have been struck down.

On topic:  This mod certainly sounds fun, but how would you make it so the races use their power attacks and/or signature moves on rare occasions, instead of using them randomly?

[ January 13, 2008: Message edited by: Sithlordz ]

[Fenrir]

You could add more than one of their standard attack, which would increase their chance of using it instead of the signature move.

Alright, I added some more stuff, including some of the longer messages. I also fixed dragons, so they don't burn to death instantly due to a typo on my part.

I had always been wanting to play a monk character, but found that unarmed attacks were too worthless.

This, though...this is a can of whoopass to the nth degree.  Bravo, sir, and thank you!
