It's really annoying because it's hard to make out black enemies (and own units)

Careful there.  Your wording could be misunderstood.

This is the Dwarf Fortress Forum... This is hardly the worst thing to be taken out of context.

Aye, so says I. Next thing you know, the black thing symbolizes skeletal elks or elephants, or a doom lever.

This mod shall not die. It's menacing with spikes of AWESOME.

Dude, it's on the community mods and utilities thread.  That's been stickied for a few days now.

He means to say that, being listed in the stickied thread, it needn't be bumped to the first page anymore.  On the other hand, activity in the thread may get Neoadept's attention, prompting him to update the mod sooner rather than later, though PMs may be better suited to that task.

When I'm not working on whatever stupid things I can come up with for my own version of vanilla DF, I have been playing around with some things for getting rid of the DF animls and what not and replacing them with more zombified/apocalyptical (sic) versions.

Inspirations:

Left 4 Dead
Fallout

Completions:

None!

Also.. why does zombie DF alternate between Survivors and Military for Fortress mode? Is this random selection a feature or what?

[jester]

you choose which civ you want to be when you choose your capital, you can be the corperates as well.

[Old-Man-Gator]

I kind of like having the choice of civs really.

I am working on pushing some raws around and making things a bit different, namely by trying to think what would happen to ecosystems after a zombie plague ravaged the human race.

I'm also borrowing on Deon's idea about having specific item files for each playable race.

[LegoLord]

Hey Neoadept, I noticed that you made a reaction with a chance of producing fly remains.  Would you happen to know how to make a reaction to produce shells or tanned leather as well?

[Moron]

I have found what I think is a bug in the raws for this mod:

You need to add the token [ANY_USE] to the 'nylon' metal type, otherwise the cloth made from nylon cannot be used for anything.

The same applies for carbon fiber, if it's intended that carbon fiber cloth can be used for making clothes etc.

Note also that because these materials are treated as metals, clothing can only be made from the cloth at the metalsmith's forge, not the clothier's shop, the same as

I'm really liking this mod. It works surprisingly well in the DF engine.

Can anyone recommend me an embark profile? This is much more difficult than vanilla DF.

[jester]

Embark profile? do you mean stuff to take with you? (bullet mould and the stuff for the reactor if you have no magma)

Hello! I just learned how to play Dwarf Fortress the other day and I am really enjoying it. I would like to play this mod, but when I try to launch it a error sign pops up saying "One of the compressed files on disk has errors in it. Restore from backup if you are able." At first I though I was getting this because I was using a tile set (don't know which one). So, I created a new folder with a clean install of Dwarf Fortress in it, and tried playing it again. It still gives me the same message. I would like to use a tile set. I have tried using the Mayday tile set, but it still give me the same error. I think I am installing the files correctly. It should be  in the data ----> Objects folder right? Thanks for the help!

You should be installing it into the raw/objects folder.
