Is it not possible to have a variant of your mod that does not include everything not martial arts related?

[Sean Mirrsen]

It is. To only include the martial arts, do not copy anything with _add or _addition in the name to your folder. Nonexistant items will disappear, nonexistant entities will not be accounted for, nonexistant creatures will never spawn. You will still get the body alterations and some base stat changes for standard items, but nothing too major.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Alright, I'm making finishing touches to 1.6a. The crashes are still there, though unless I just got lucky they got more scarce. Animal bodies are all done.

Changes:
-New weapons. Swords, daggers, axes, spears. At least 8 weapons added.
-Lizardmen added as a new race. They live in swamp caves and use some special weaponry.
-Fixed hydras' problem with head damage. They will still die just as easily from bleeding and pain though.
-Several new spiders added. Giant/large tarantulas, giant/large shadow spiders, giant redback spiders.
-Body structure received a major overhaul. New bodyparts include ribs, jaws, mandibles, and various variants of existing limbs.

In process:
-Reiterating through all creatures, checking for errors and adding attacks on the go. Devised a few new attack message variations.
-Reconfiguring megabeast entities. I've yet to comprehend the entire impact of having no normal megabeasts spawning. Having the quest dragon be accompanied by two guards was fun though.
-Considering minor creature additions. Specifically, dog and cat breeds. "Elf-hound", "Kobold-Schnauzer", "Carp-terrier" sound nice..  

I really should do more fort mode testing...

[Deon]

Wow, you're still in it.
It's nice that you continue to work on your mod.
Can you add some beholders please?
I've made them for my faerun mod but now I don't want to update it till the next version is out.
I also like to play your version, because you were the first one to make such nice improvements to body and combat system. So consider it as a tribute =).

If you don't mind to add some beholders, I can provide you full info about body structures and creatures, I've made them based off the ".pdf" rulebooks for DnD {they have full "real" beholder anatomy and custom eye-attacks) and tested them.

Я и так их использую и в твоем моде, но, может, кому-то ещё будет интересно их встретить.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, sure, I'll add them, just tell me where to get them.

I also "was" hesitant to update the mod before the advent of the new version, but I'm considering the possibility that it will not fix the crashes I'm getting, and hope to ask Toady to look at them at the next phase's de-bug round.

That, and people seem to have various problems with 1.5b, and I've already gone far past that, so I can only release 1.6.

И зачем конспирация с кириллицей? Мне аж кодировку менять пришлось.

I tried to be authentic with eye-attacks, but some of them cannot be made in the DF because of lack of tags (i.e. Charm Person).
Also I love Umber Hulks, I think they're perfect cave dwellers. Consider do you like them or not.

[Jay]

Deon + Beholders:  That's all fine and good, but there's a typo in a bunch of them.

cast frost ray on:casts fost ray on

[Deon]

THanks, I have them in my mod too then.
I'll fix it.

[Kashyyk]

For some reason the world gen wont go past the age of myth with out discarding.

[TheSpaceMan]

I tried your mod for the first time today, I haven't read so much about it except some mentions of ninjas and warriors and gendergrabbing.

Needing something to spice up my fortress building untill I do a serious atempt. So I unpacked everything, I found two things imidiatly that i was supriesed to see. Starting one fort all my dwarfs was replaced with g's Goblins?
Hmmm i thougt, some changes so you are default goblins, cool, I can dig that. Not satisfied with my current selected area i abandoned and started a new fort, now my entire fort is made out of K's. I am not sure what K's are. But i remeber a time when this wasn't even possible. Do the closest civilisation affect the fort race?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Uh, no. You can choose your starting civ at embark. Just TAB through the screens at location select, and you should see a list of civs. Currently only icons on the map show the creatures representing the civ in realtime. You can always tab some more and make sure - the race being topmost on the neighbors screen is the one you have selected.

And K's are Kentauri, the "elf" variant of the normal centaurs. They are considerably more advanced than elves though, and don't pay as much heed to the nature, because the centaurs are warlike beings.

Also, if you get weird-looking E's, those are dark elves. Not much difference physically.

[Jetman123]

Can't get this to work. Where exactly do I unzip all these text files? What is the process? I've tried deleting the objects folder's contents, and they just spring back when I next start the game.

[Sean Mirrsen]

The instructions assume you have some knowledge of what a DF mod is. You have to copy the text files over the same files in the raw\objects folder. The files in data\objects are generated from them, and you need to delete them only once after you copy the mod's text files into the raw\objects folder; this is done to avoid old generated data interfering with new modded data.

[Jetman123]

Ahhh, the raw folder instead. Thanks. It works now.
