Bump with content.

This version is a "Hindentanic edition". It means that it didn't crash where other ones crashed. Specifically, it didn't crash midsummer in the first year when I was running human forts. This specific update nets one more point in favor of an old saying I used - "The first guess is usually the right one. Further discussion and debate usually introduce errors.". The culprits in this particular case were the ribs. Apparently, the game can't handle multiple LEFT/RIGHT SKELETON bodyparts within another bodypart. Right now I retweaked the ribs to have no impact on this, and added three more bones as a bonus.  

By the way, the one Hindentanic I know ended up having wasps released inside it and its controls destroyed, after which it got hit by meteors, caught on fire, crash landed onto an iceberg and sank.

Lol for Titanic =).

Nice idea about fish. Why not to make giant copies of other small things like vermin? Giant flies/dragonflies/firesnakes/lizards/toads? Yeah! GIANT TOADS [FANCIFUL]!

[Cavalcadeofcats]

Actually, there are giant toads in vanilla.

Fact.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I was thinking of adding "Toady" as an adjective to "Toad" in the game, but for some reason decided against it. Making "The Great Toady Swamps" possible may be too much.

And no fish in this release - I'm mostly working on the tool to ease mod developing for large mods such as this.

Question, If i choose the races Goblin, Dark Outcast, or Dark Elf, will the Dwarves, Humans, Elves, and Kents try and siege me? I played as the Kentauri and i noticed the Dark Elves took no time to ambush my fortress and destroy more than half the population, but I'm wondering if the 'good' races will do the same to the 'evil races'.

[Jagsman32]

weird, out of nowhere all my Kentaur are all listed as slaughter able. Can't get into their profiles or anything. Wonder how this was triggered...is there a fix? Says they are all animals that cannot work.

You should so rename this mod/version to "The Uncrashable Mary Bell"

O_O Damn, I forgot that bug. I thought I fixed it...

No, wait...  I did! I removed the PET_EXOTIC tag that did it in 1.70. Did you download from DFFD or rapidshare?

[Jagsman32]

DFFD, but i went into the file and removed it.

Can I use your modification in a game-play modification I'm creating Sean? I'll give appropriate credit of course.

[Sean Mirrsen]

You might not need to.

My mod is a resonably vast work that changes a lot of stuff. Therefore, I have developed ModBase, a simple-to-use mod merger program. If I convert my mod to that - and I will, sometime - you might only need to make appropriate changes and specify that your mod needs mine to function.

If you can provide a pointer or a description as to what you are making, I might give further info. Also, which parts of my mod are you looking at, specifically?

[The13thRonin]

I'm making an additional creature modification coupled with minor game play 'tweaking' (such as enabling silver to be crafted into an armor [albeit a very cumbersome and impractical armor] and to be used in the construction of ranged weapons (didn't make sense why it could be used for close-quarters and not ranged). I like what you've done with the custom attacks and new bodies for all creatures. I'd be just using your new bodies files and the custom attack files, nothing else at all. If you disagree I guess that cripples my ability to release anything at all and I will keep it as a personal interest modification out of respect.

If you're interested I have created the following creatures thus far (many, many more are partially done or currently in planning):

-Green Dragon
-Red Dragon
-Blue Dragon
-White Dragon
-Black Dragon
-Vampire
-Phoenix
-Pegasus

As you have probably noticed I am focusing my efforts on creatures of a mythological nature (especially Greek mythology).

[Sean Mirrsen]

I've got the black dragon already...

And you should really consider that modding program I made. Makes merging mods easy.
Because otherwise, using "custom attack files" may be a little difficult.

Not really...

I simply extracted all the creature files minus the ones that include your custom creatures.

Is it really necessary to use the mod manager?

[Sean Mirrsen]

No. Not yet, anyway. But right now I'm porting my mod to that standard.
