They Might be Giants mod
« on: October 31, 2008, 07:05:57 pm »

I have decided to make a mod in honor of my favorite band, but I need suggestions on TMBG themed objects that could be added into the game.

I have four myself, but someone will have to help me with the second.  As people make suggestions, I will add them to the list (if RAWs are provided or I can make them myself) and give credit to the person who posted it.

If you see something on the list that does not have raws, feel free to post the raws for it if you know how to do it.  Eventually this will be wrapped up into a modular mod (in other words, you can take it out if you want to with out needing to edit every file).

Obviously, you will need some new -mans.  Particle- Triangle- and Person- at least.

But he's bigger than the entire universe.

Hmm... Size:n+1?

Let's just call it 1000 and give him a negative [DAMBLOCK] to balance things out.

I can honestly say that this is the most surreal, ridiculous and above all awesome mod I've ever seen, and I don't even like TMBG all that much.

I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

The only TMBG song I know is Bastard Wants To Hit Me...

Maybe you could make a crazy bastard who wants to hit people?

Sounds like a berserk dwarf.  Good idea!

Could another modder please step in and help out with this?

Universe man might not need the damblock change, will he?  After all, he wouldn't be attacking, because he's usually kind to smaller mans.  In fact, very kind, he will always give you the time of day.  He even has a clock with a minute hand, millenium hand, and an eon hand.

The song Impressed (with the music video) reminds me of some dwarven nobles... Right up to their final fates...

Universe Man is no longer a megabeast, but is now found in the same biomes as unicorns.  I will also change his size to the number of "t"ravel map tiles in a large world, which I believe is 255x255.

I also just had an idea to add in bourbon as a new drink, but I do not know what it is made from or how it is made.

Bourbon is whiskey made primarily from corn, but must come from Kentucky.  Otherwise, it's just corn whiskey.

Well, we may be hard pressed to find Kentucky in DF, so let's just say our brewers are from Kentucky.

Do you really want Universe Man to be able to breed?

No, I don't think I do.  In fact, this has already been fixed.

Edit:  I had another idea.  Prosthetic foreheads.  Everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.
