There're tons of worldgen crashes... Oh well. I guess I will have to slowly add stuff and see what causes it. *Sadface*

Can I help with the proofreading, I'm proficient with WinMerge.
Just removed my world's strange tadpoles (who shouldn't be in raiding parties).

[Deon]

Well, I think the game is mostly confused by the way I defined male and female parts (I've made quite complex select_caste permutations). It's safer to remake this part, there's too much to check .

[OmnipotentGrue]

So wait, genitalia being chopped off can destroy worlds?

My lord.

[Deon]

I think it could be something with the way I arranged materials or tissues so it was made in a correct manner but somehow didn't work in worldgen calculations.

It happened to me before with creature blood.

"The forces controlling each dimension" have come to handle that "irregularity" and have rewound time.

Since I have DF-mastiffs... here's how a good mastiff puppy looks:

BTW Deon, did you make a
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_GENITAL_POSITIONS_MALE] and female?
Probably need tissue_layers definition too, and tissue add command similar to [ADD_TISSUE:LIVER:LIVER_TEMPLATE].

[Deon]

Right now I was lazy and used tentacle tissue layers. Later I may work on it more, but right now it works without problems too.

I remade most creatures again, plus because I delayed the release I took my time and made ostriches and parrots.

[Deon]

Tomi, did you send me the fixed finnish language? It looks like I didn't get it.

[Deon]

I've got a few crashes even while I remade everything from scratch... It looks like worldgen doesn't like too many creatures with caste-specific bodies.

Anyway it works quite well (with rare crashes during 500+ year worldgen on large maps). I usually generate 200-300 years old worlds anyway and they are often medium to reduce Adventure mode lag, thus it should work for you too.

[LizardKing]

So I decided to use PerfectWorld and took my time to build a single really good map with all the various races intact, a good range of environments and a good set of volcanos and things. I'm going to keep building forts on the same map, so when I then go adventuring on the same map there's some fun stuff to explore. Had to remove aquifiers though, for some reason they were covering almost 50% of the map, with at least 2 layers, and I've never even encountered one before. I was planning on doing the same with standard DF, but with this mod too it means I can have adventures with an even greater array of characters.

Thanks for the great work

Could you reduce the volume of the music for the next version? the first song gets too loud sometimes and the second is almost always too loud.

[Deon]

Did you try to change the in-game volume? It's saved, you know .

Of course I can, but then I won't be able to hear it on a notebook, and it requires a file conversion. I'll try to make it later, sure.

[TomiTapio]

Tomi, did you send me the fixed finnish language? It looks like I didn't get it.

I sent it again now to your Yahoo mail. Also check your spam-folder.

[ghostxxx]

Yahoo has a terrible delay and sometimes just refuses to get email. I'd forsaken it for a better service. I've been using gmail for a while now and had no troubles with it.

[Deon]

I was using yahoo for PBEM for two years and it had no problems for me, strange. It must be location-specific or something.

And sorry, it was really in Spam folder, I forgot to check it .

[Deon]

I've removed most of the "strange" trees because I am almost sure most people do not know them, and also there were location-specific trees (like brazilwood) which didn't work for DF.

Also there're snakes now:


Rattlesnake, asp and sand cobra.
