The Dark Tower Mod Realeased!
« on: December 16, 2009, 02:00:03 pm »

Well this is a mod which adds creatures and civs from the Dark Tower series by stephen king. Its still in beta right now and to finish I just need help with animals becuase quite frankly there arent that many in the books(maybe we could add some from the comics even though they arent that canon to add some more depth:(). In the end it will be a TC.

It adds

Civs.

Slow muties:They replace goblins (that means they have crimson kings instead of demons!) seige very early around the 2nd year. Though there easy they come early and in big numbers. They only can have wrestlers.(Though ive had them come with guards. The guards don't have any weapons either it seems)

Bandits:These are the real threat to your fortress there pretty much kobolds on super steriods. They have revolvers like you and they thieve and ambush you. The ambushes are a massive threat and they can mow down your humies if your army is caught off guard.

Taheen: They replace elves and are up to pare with you. I put them as evil but because they have can speak they are almost always friendly to you. If you want to increase the diffulculty you could remove the canspeak tag.

Cantoi: They replace the dwarves andd are higher than you. Theyre evil but they arent your enemy for most the time because of the same reason as the taheen. (EASTEREGG check their inventory)

Misc.

It adds revolvers and bullets as ammo. Added sombrero's and jeans for fun.

Added the raws instead of the whole game because people requested.

Everybody likes it but likely nobody tried it yet because there's nothing special except for the flavor. What about biomes and other creatures? Are they the same as DF?

I'd like a better description about what it actually adds.
Also, text file downloads, no copypaste please.

I cant upload the file at dffd. Whenever I choose browse then pick the df folder it does nothing the only option are open or all fille and whenever i choose those nothing happens and I cant even press the upload file button. I even put the name of the file in the file name place:C:\Users\Owner\Saved Games\Dwarf Fortress and that doesnt do any thing! I have windows 7.

Are you trying to upload a normal folder?

You need to archive it as a .zip or .rar first, try googling for WinRAR.

Bump :-[

You're damn impatient one guy, ya' know? Those guys maybe downloaded and haven't played it yet. Or maybe aren't registered on the forums. Or maybe played and not going to post at all. Or (blah blah blah) and so on.

Wait a bit more without spamming the thread (quadro-post!) with bumps. Maybe play it yourself, look into errorlog (if there happen to be one) and fix the bugs.

Or add more flavor/stuff and then even more?

Sometimes people download the mod by tens and no one bother to even express the joy of playing it* :P

~Haspen.

*No, I didn't played it.

@Deon: You ruined my rant D':

Interesting idea. I was planning something similar back before I had done any DF modding and before I realised I'd have to wait until at least the next update to add some of the things I wanted to add. I was going to set it back before when the books are set basically before the world Roland grew up in collapsed.

I wont be downloading it for the moment though, I'm in the middle of starting a new fort. As others have suggested it might be nice to add more information to the original post. What new creatures and civs have you added? Did you replace dwarves?

I looked at the DFFD post but I didn't want to download someone's entire Dwarf Fortress complete with 2 pre-generated games, which is what it looks like you have provided.  Also, your file is named Dwarf Fortress.zip.  Wouldn't Dark Tower.zip be a little more informative for us when we look in our directories months from now?  Yes, I can rename it when I save it, but it's little touches like that which increase the confidence of potential players.   ;)

To summarize my whining: Please provide it also as just the raws.  It would be great if you named the file Dark Tower, but I can live without that.   :)
