Let me think... It's compatible except for one thing.

Do not copy creature_z_illithid.txt because I removed elder brains. Everything else it totally compatible, it's mostly material fixes and tweaks to body structures, plus the music is back.

[Nether]

Yay, it is downloading

Now I can get back to homework ^^

[Deon]

No you can't. I hurry too much because I worry that I did a wrong thing and I screw it even more. One should always act thinking first. I mean, I screwed the archive. If you look inside, there's a deon_genesis_2.4 folder in it too with a separate material_default.txt inside. That's the correct one.

I am reuploading the 2.51 which has a right archive. Hehe. And then I am going to sleep, really tired here.

P.S. Done. It should be all cool now.

[RESIZABLE:NO]
[ARB_SYNC:YES]
[PRINT_MODE:PARTIAL:5]
[SINGLE_BUFFER:YES]

It works good for me.

Ok, does that show me why DF crashed on me? Or should i fiddle around with print mode and ARB_SYNC?

EDIT: Killed ARB_SYNC: It worked but I got this as a screen: Flickering badly

[Ringmaster]

I don't know if its been noted before (100 pages of writing is a bit much to wade through when I've got a limited amount of time to do it in) but after downloading and extracting the mod, all I get when I start the Dwarfort.exe is a small window with a single blue exclamation mark in the top left corner.

I've had this too, try another version of DF. (I used legacy, SDL worked for me)

Yeah it does that with some videocards. I still yet to find the best mode for me.

Hey Deon, just a question, why did you remove the crematorium?
Just curious

"black crow tallow toad in the hole"

what?!

[Deon]

Hey Deon, just a question, why did you remove the crematorium?

Because Kiln can do the same (and it is used in RL for that) and I didn't use that much, so I've decided that there's no reason to make a second building like kiln while I can make kiln more useful (I rarely use it otherwise).

Makes sense.

[D_E]

Yeah, in the current version balors are immortal. D_E screwed with body so it has only a heard with weapons, and no other stuff. I mean it is but it's not connected so you cannot damage it. I am patching it as we speak.

I don't know why is the balor INSIDE of the obsidian heart, but it makes it unkillable.

Uh, it's killable.  The heart bleeds, and the eyes can also be hit.  The body is just there for show.  I should have said that explicitly in the raw, but you sounded like you'd tested it and when you didn't say anything I figured you thought it was OK. 

The heart is a thin shell of obsidian over delicate tissue.  With the raw weapons, it's hard to break the shell, but I was figuring that you're rebalanced weapons must be doing the job.  It can also be taken down by shooting it repeatedly with crossbows, and in practice this is what dwarves have to do, because of the extreme temperature of the default flames.

If you want me to change something of mine, just let me know what you want done.

Deon, there is some weird visual thing happening to my game.

I have DF .31.06 (SDL w/vanilla ascii tileset) with Genesis 2.3 raws on top. I started a fort (as region1) - everything's ok.

Then I saved and copied that savefolder as region2, then placed new 2.51 raws (w/o creature_z_illithid.txt) to raws folder and region2 save folder. And now upon loading region2 I get some crappy graphics while region1 works just as before.
Same init.txt, same art, same .31.06 SDL version.

Here are pics:
Save with 2.3 raws

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Save with 2.51 raws

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What am I doing wrong?

edit: right, er... shame on me, accidentally downloaded non-ascii version of Genesis 2.51
Hope this helps someone not to my mistake.

[Deon]

Yeah, ASCII version is 2.5, not 2.51 .

They were OK before that change. That obsidian heart couldn't be pierced by a legendary in all in full adamantine set with the most powerful artifact in the game dwarf because thickness does nothing when it's the whole body.

But the most imporant part was that INTERNAL upperbody does not work, so it was an immortal obsidian rock.

Now I reverted partially to my previous balor with your additions.

So it bleeds flames (awesome stuff) and uses your body structure, but without falling off shadows. Instead it secretes "ashen veil" and it has a soulgem instead of obsidian heart beacause obsidian is too hard to be damaged by any normal weapons, and adamantine is sharp enough but too light to damage it.

Hmm started this Genesis 2.51 today, it seems nice. Pet rabbits, six meat in a furry skin. Looks like Pig Tails are replaced by cave cotton (which I didn't embark with.)
Hmm pet cave tortoises move as fast as dwarves.
