Is 3.04 supposed to be out? I got confused by earlier Deon posts

Nope, not out... Yet. Likely will be very soon unless Deon ends up taking so long that he has to sleep.

I seem to be able to dry briquettes with any plant type.  Not that I mind, too darn many plants than I care for anyway.

Deon, any plans to switch to a tileset that has walls that look more like walls and less like thin rock veins?  My sun gold walls don't look so good with the...rough pattern in the walls.  I did try to use another tileset I kind of enjoy but then all the plants looked REALLY weird what with the backcolors and all...so i went back to the one that comes with Genesis and use white rock for my walls, which, imo looks the best given the rough pattern.

Huh, "genesis forge"? What do you mean?

a worse adamantine.

A worse adamantine!?!? What metal is that?!?!?

Deon, the spreadsheet-format manual could be shared as an image, like this: (already too old version's manual)

I got so goddamn sick of booting up Excel every time I just printed it to PDF

Could you upload it?
Since I don't have Excel.

[Eagle_eye]

just use open office

Just upload it as .pdf

Okay okay, I will make a web version of manual to download. It will take a bit more time though.

I am not uploading 3.1 yet because I need to add more stuff (red steel, scriptorium) and update the manual, and it's 6 AM here. I will wake up around 11 AM and finish it .

I'll check it.

I thought they had feathers and chirping noises. Running half-bird half-dinosaur. Not fat or bulky at all.

That's my old tile for a prehistoric mod. DF raptors have feathers. I will redraw the tile if I succeed to make it before the release. Otherwise it's still better than nothing .

Just post the xls when you're done. I'll convert it to various formats and post them. I have some software that will allow me to do this in approximately three seconds.

The next DirectX version will allow us to customize tiles, so this problem should be gone. It all depends on Baughn though.

I'd heard nothing of this prior to this post, so I did a search for "baugh directx", which turned up nothing.  This is good since such a release would break mod compatibility for Linux/Mac OS X/BSD.  Anyway, I feel a burning desire to point out that you probably meant "The next SDL version".  Keep up the good work!

[Deon]

Yeah I meant SDL version with DirectX 10 features. The discussion is in ironhand's graphics thread and Baughn just tells that he CAN do it (replace any object with any tile, make multilevel height with transparency, multitile creature graphics, transparent water etc.), not that he has made a progress on it. It would be nice, and he will do it eventually, but there's no release date.

Also I just woke up. I slept more than intended. But at least my eyes do not burn .

Okay, the skin "being chipped and broken" is fixed. It was harder than normal so the game thought it's a hard material (not enough elasticity). I've tuned it down. The description of skin damage is correct now (cut/bruised), but whips became more deadly.

On topic, I greatly increased the bleeding factor. Seeing a child with two spears in his heart and guts popping out running around as nothing happened is a bit weird.

[Medicine Man]

None of my adventure mode civs have whips, did you forget to add them or am I just ultra unlucky?

[Deon]

They were out because they were too weak. Now they are quite fine so I am adding them back.

[Deon]

I've decided to add penguins. The first test was hillarious. I didn't pay an attention to the embark biomes, so it looks like there was one square of an evil arctic ocean. Immediately my party of 7 was slaughtered by a horde of zombie penguins.

The Feathered-Raptor guy: Actually, not all Raptors had feathers, only some subraces. You read it on Cracked, didn't ya? While I have a big bad-ass book 'bout dino's and there are some with feathers and some without them (Like Velociraptors)
