Well, cleared data\objects, and now I've got this.

I'd use modbase, but I couldn't get it to recognize Age of Shadows for some reason.  I think I'll just revert the whole thing back to the original and work from there this time.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Wait, exactly WHAT version are you using? I mean, the mod version? It has to be pretty darn old if it still has the _SETTLEMENTS tags...

[Nonanonymous]

I was using 1.5b, now I've switched to what came with 0.6b modbase.  And by the way, I think I've found an error in that.

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_DAGGERS]
[NAME:ramacicmi:ramacicmis]
[CLASS:KNIFE]
[DAMAGE:70:SLASH]
[STICK_CHANCE:40]

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_DAGGER_LIZARD]
[NAME:ramacuthroz:ramacuthrozes] "lizard's fang"
[DAMAGE:60:PIERCE]
[WEIGHT:10]
[SKILL:DAGGER]
[CRIT_BOOST:2]
[RANGED:DAGGER:TKNIFE]
[TWO_HANDED:3]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:3]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
[STICK_CHANCE:10]
Notice the TKNIFE ammo for the lizard dagger compared to the CLASS:KNIFE in the ammo daggers.

Edit:  Also, does anything significant have to be done to create your own variety of ranged weapons and specific ammunitions for them?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Oh. Hrm. I don't think I ever played lizardmen myself. Alright, I'll fix it in the next pack.

The Mart. mod seems to be erasing vital body tags (UPPERBODY, LOWERBODY, etc.) from the first entry in all of my other mods' body files when installed by Mod Base, any suggestions on how I could stop this from happening?

[Sean Mirrsen]

There's nothing that could influence that in the mod itself, or so I can see anyway.

What's the name of the entry? Or maybe post the files themselves?

In other news, I'm 23 now.

Happy belated birthday Sean

This mod is still plagued by multiple crashes  .

My guess is that it has something to do with the [BP:!] in body_advanced, but I'm not sure.  These are the entries that have been altered:

They're all from the Age of Shadows mod.  I've recently manually corrected everything in my objects folder, though, so I can't remember the exact problem and I'd rather not find out again.  I just distinctly remember quite a few dark fortresses crippled by spontaneous suffocation.  I know at the least everything past the [CON:*] was missing, and that may have disappeared too.

There may have been trouble with the body files from Utili Stillari too, but I'm not sure. 

Oh, and just a suggestion...  Could you come up with some new body parts for the giant olms and olm men?  The fact that you can cripplingly blind those guys by gouging out their eyes makes no sense to me at all.

And this is important.  How do you kill those frikkin' treasure chests?  They've made more of my adventurers die of exhaustion than I have facing down the named creatures in the caves they inhabit!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Huh? Well, for one shattering the body itself will kill them. Or should. If the problem you're having does exist though, then there might be no way at all...  If flags were removed from body tags, the non-breathing non-thinking no-nothing chests would become completely and utterly immortal.

My guess is that you have an older version of the prog. Or you might. I did have a problem with tag flags (and body tags like [UPPERBODY] are flags) not recording properly, but I think I fixed that before releasing.

The BP:! in body_advanced simply deletes all parts from an entry. This was done as a safeguard against errors, because the program doesn't know how to work delete and replace when tag flags are around.

[Nonanonymous]

Well, if removing the tags would keep their bodies from shattering, that would be one explanation.  They do appear to have vanished, so I guess it was Modbase after all.

Okay, finally struck one of the buggers down, that was it after all.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hm, yes, now I notice it too. All flags are gone when a mod appends its first entry to a new file. The case is fairly specific, so I know where to look.

[edit: found it. silly me forgot to update the "tag source" variable since I introduced flags. updating as a priority fix.]

In other news, work on ModBase continues. The raw comparison mod generator function is kinda stuck, so I'll focus on managing tilesets and other init file settings.

[Dragooble]

hey first of all just registered yay!

second am i installing right? i delete everything in the objects folder an insert the sfuff in the martmod folder is that right if so then when i do, and try to create a new world is says "dwarf fortress has encountered an error and needs to close"
what should i do?

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'll just quote the front page on this one:

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.


I should also note, there is now a ModBase application that handles installation of the most widespread mods that were made compatible with it. The link is in my sig.

[Dragooble]

but i did that. do i do anything after that i think i may have forgotten to make a new world before i tried replacing the files in raw/objects with the martmod thing ill try that
