Artifact pants.

[Lemunde]

From the screenshots we have seen yes. I'll try and find them, provided someone doesn't beat me to the punch.

Look at devlog entries from 04/13/2009 and 04/18/2009.

I really hope he did something about those oval stone deposits.

Since dwarf's appearances have been updated, will their appearance be brought into legends mode? If not will it eventually? Maybe it would record notable clothing choices of important figures? Like a king who will only wear green pigtail trousers?

There will be favorite items, but I think the only way those will show up in legends is if they are used to kill someone or something.

Artifact pants.

So... History is pants?

Artifact pants.

I want some.

I'm fairly certain Toady hasn't changed the way veins and clusters work

I don't have any very specific plans now, but I'm open to anything that I can do that makes sense.  Wider-ranging features are harder to add just because of the map connection data.  That's the reason the veins etc. still live with 48x48x1 areas -- it's not impossible to extend them, just very inconvenient and so it slips in priority.

[Rafal99]

There still ways to make them look better while keeping them in 48x48x1 areas.
Add more noise to their shape, more differences in size, and make thier position within the map square more random.

[tfaal]

Also, do remember that these stone deposits will look a lot less crappy when you can only see the portions of them that a cave or tunnel encompasses.

[Rafal99]

Yeah they don't look that bad without complete revealing. Still it is a problem if you mine the whole cluster for particular type of stone and its whole oval shape becomes visible.

Greetings, traveler. Life is, in a word, pants.

Will it be possible to designate a medical procedure as a "Uniform" for Soldiers and guards?

If not, may i suggest it? (I'll stuff it in the Suggestions thread also)

No.  Currently, the only use for medical procedures is to treat the wounds of dwarves and (possibly) other sentient fortress members.

If not, may i suggest it? (I'll stuff it in the Suggestions thread also)

Yes.

[Jakkarra]

Oh, well.

That's quite unfortunate. Thanks, Footkerchief.

what did you mean by that question?
like, all of the squad has their left eye amputated for badass-ness?

I'm picturing early bugs where you could give them replacement limbs without amputating the originals~

Just to be clear, prosthetics aren't in yet:

So, regarding crutches.  I wonder if permanently crippled dwarves will get canes, or lamed dwarves get peg legs.

Hopefully!  I don't think I have canes up anywhere, but I have a bloat for prosthestics, so something will happen sometime.  I'm not quite ready to take it on yet.  Splints, casts and crutches (and bandages and sutures if those items are maintained after application) will be a stepping stone toward other add-ons.
