I added this.   I try to use the authors recommendations (if realistic) on what list to put things in so it is in major mods.

Just a bit of forewarning, I have been asked by Toadyone to remove some things that distribute his executable's from the list, however, he does not seem to mind yet when coupled with a mod of the raws, but just letting you know.

I wrote a new mod, found here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=117954.0
It simplifies a few things, and standardizes wood, grass and animal materials, leads to less items and less clutter from invasions. Currently there is a standalone version for 3 different tilesets and 3 OS (win/mac/linux) and a merging with the modest mod.

Here the text you could use:
Accelerated DF - A small mod that increases FPS by ~25% and standardizes animal and plant materials, decreases types of stones and gems, and lowers the amount of clutter left by invasions. A version that includes the modest mod's bugfixes and balancing is aviable as well. Supports Ascii, Phoebus and Ironhand.

It has no big impact gameplaywise, but the raw modding is rather extensive, so you be the judge if this is a minor or major mod. It does edit almost all vanilla raws, so I would put it into major mods, since I uploaded it at DFFD under that topic. Would be nice if you add it to the list

? What has the exe, but no raws?

the unofficial binary patch for once... it is only the .exe with some bugs fixed. It is included in the modest mod merge, but then again masterwork also has a .exe that is large adress aware...

Thanks Profit

Installers and some things like hex edits that change the number of starting dwarves.

I am updating the link right now, however the description is just too long.   Normally I will slice them down to size on my own but because of the size and complexity of your mod I do not feel comfortable doing so.   I am going to change it to "Please check link for mod description" but if you could come up with a 1 or 2 line description I will change it to that as soon as I see it.

I have created a new tool for reading and parsing the legend file. It was really put together as a my first ruby rails application. You can read about it on

http://stephenemo.wordpress.com/dwarfquery-ruby-on-rails-application-for-dwarf-fortress/

You can take a look on it with uploading your legend file by going to dwarfquery.cloudfoundry.com

Demo user is : testuser@gmail.com. Password is sammy1

To upload a file take a while..the legend files are quote big and then it has to sync it to dropbox as it is a free host i am using. The legend file is then parsed asynchronously after the upload. You should be emailed when it is completed.

Anyhow take a look. If I was to do it again it would be parsed via email. Uploading 100's of megabyte files is way too slow.

I am going to have to consider this...  But I would really like to see some changes made. 

#1 As always, I need a link to a forum post.  Sometimes I consider letting it slide but with something that will generate so many questions in operation I am going to enforce it.

#2 This probably should be a stand alone thing and not done on a website.  I am betting there is a good reason why it is done this way, but most browsers nowadays can handle running of code in them via java or something if it is necessary. Sending 100's of megs just seems like it is going to cause grief.

#3 it seems very complicated to get to work right, perhaps you can streamline some things.   Particularly the upload process.   Maybe have a button like the attachment button for the forums where someone can attach the legends file in text or zip format if they prefer.


There are some other small things but really the big one is #1, I would really like a forum post on this one...   #2 and 3 I will bend on if you do not want to change things, but I do not think you are going to get a positive community response. The number of hoops they have to jump through, especially since there is already another couple legends parsers out there, makes this one seem kinda kludgey.  (Course these are Dwarf Fortress players so maybe =)

OK. If you have any comments please put in this post http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119730.0

I would agree it is a little bit clumsy. A better solution would be to accept emails. I had to make some changes when I deployed it. Developing locally it took no time to upload the file, then when I deployed it, it took longer to upload plus cloudfoundry made me treat the worker class which processes the file a different instance to the server app which uploads it plus they cannot share the same file so it needs to be stored via Dropbox.

It does have the advantage that as it is web based it does not use if your locally resources

Thank you.
