can you please make the lightly wounded or lopped off wounds a different color please?
its kind of annoying how i cant tell if my dwarf is missing his arm or if its just scratched

[LegoLord]

Sorry, but this suggestion is kind of moot if you look at the dev notes.  It is very important to use the search forum feature and to search the developments pages before making a suggestion.  This does not mean you should not make the suggestion at all; just that you should consider that it's been discussed before or that it might be something Toady works on as we speak.

With searching the dev page, ctrl + f is very handy.

[yaklin]

ok, i'll try that next time all though in my defense i did use the search function
while im here is it possible to change the wound coloring in the init file?

[Jay]

The color contrast between the two is very subtle, I agree.
A simple Healthy-Scratch-Cut-Wound-Break-Gone system might work well.
I removed brown, because the brown color on the forums is terrible.
Also, green is a much more generally-acknowledged color for good health then white is.
And a yellow-orange-red system to the end is better then yellow-red-gray, when gray is already used for a cut/similar.

Sure, it'd take a little bit of getting used to, but it's probably for the best.
But yes, this has been posted, noted, etc. before.
You can't change the colors that they're displayed in directly, but you can change the colors the entire game displays, which might be able to help a bit.
Done with the init.txt
EDIT: Of course!  With the massive complexities involved with the next release regarding wounds, Toady's changing the system completely now anyway!  (D'oh.)

[LegoLord]

Actually, looking at the dev notes, Toady has done away with the color-wound system entirely (well mostly, anyway) and has added in better wound descriptions due to the complexity of wounds in the next version.

Toady should add infected wounds like from Animal bites or swimming in water with an open cut.

From what I understand these are also things Toady has been working on; diseases in general, at least.

[Footkerchief]

"Wound infection and sepsis" might be in the next release.  It's marked as "delayed" in the list (under "Venom").

[vitaoma]

Yeah, I totally agree. I have some immigrants like Soap Maker or Fish Dissector who spend the whole season talking at the dining room and when I finally need them they take break? Break from what? Tired of chatting?

How is this relevant?

[Felblood]

I think that's just a mis-post, that was intended to go in the "no more power naps" thread.

Infected?

Infected?

What if it's broken AND infected? Or severed, and the stump is infected?

We'll see what Toady comes up with.
