I assume you mean 'Tony Stark,' my fort's Legendary Armorer?  And yes, he did use scraps (as the dwarves in this mod are still using my code); but they were scraps of AWESOME, and when he tried to refine it he got a half-carp, half-elephant, half-giant eagle, half-dragon, half-Cacame, half-half monstrosity that tunneled SWAM through the semi-molten rock to go do Armok-knows-what *Down Below*.  Right now, my FPS is at 1, slowly rising.

How do I make it so my walls DONT look like lobsters?

[Deon]

Use the graphic set provided with the mod.

This is how the walls look:

[Zargen]

Iunwanna!  To be honest I actually prefer the ascii graphics 

[Deon]

Wow-  I really like what you did with my "heroes" idea, although I'd be a bit more subtle with it (e.g., no fireballs/webs/poisons).

I was aiming more for this,


But this works just fine.

Well, as you see, I use a bit cartoonish style here. So your picture works too if you get it a bit more seriously .

And yeah, your "heroes" idea was really cool. I used this caste thing in the Wasteland mod but I didn't have an intention to make different dwarves until I saw your mod.

Can you use Mike Mayday's Tileset with this mod?

You can use his dorfs but I remapped tiles so the walls would look funky. You can use his graphics with current character set without problems though. I may make a Mike Mayday-like version though.

Dunno how much my input means, but I'm loving the mod Deon. The castes are a fantastic idea, I can't wait to start playing it!

Your input means a lot . I am a person who likes modding for others more than playing, and any sign of appreciation warms my heart hehe.

Soulstone??  Ohhh- I forgot for a sec this wasn't vanilla DF. 

Yeah, sorry Arkenstone, it's not Vanilla. Bronze colossi are not that terrifying, they have a soulgem in their head which when shattered destroys them.

Iunwanna!  To be honest I actually prefer the ascii graphics 

Which character set do you use? I think it's about time to release an ASCII version...

[Zargen]

Hm, init.txt says [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] Thats yours right? Think if I change it back to default lobsterwalls will go away?

[Deon]

My init says phoebus16x16.bmp.

Are you sure you took both DATA and OBJECTS from the archive and overwrote the files?

curses_640x300.bmp is default for DF.

[Zargen]

Nah I usually dont take the data changes cause I hate having to go back and re-editing things back 

[Deon]

Nah I usually dont take the data changes cause I hate having to go back and re-editing things back 

Then just apply the correct tileset for now . It's phoebus16x16.bmp.
I will release ASCII version soon so I hope you'll be happy with it.


Hey guys, does anybody want to help me with suggestions a bit?
I'm releasing 1.6 soon (including ASCII version, finally) and along orcish grunts and shamans I add a new sieging race: serpentfolk.

They come later than goblinoids (can't call them just "goblins" now ) but they are less armored. This is balanced by their new abilities.

Right now I have:
 * fireborn caste: salamander
 * stonegazer caste: medusa, cockatrice
 * naga caste: white naga, black naga
 * lizardfolk caste: lizardfolk shaman, lizardfolk guardian, lizardfolk mystic


I would like any input you can add, I mean types of serpentfolk and such.

I've decided to include lizardfolk as a part of the civilization, and the background is that they are servants of the nagas and other serpent-men, but it's not written anywhere so you can think out your own story.

How do I make it so my walls DONT look like lobsters?

You can use the very handy "raw_tile_selector_060" utility that was made by an industrious fellow.  It's easy to use.  You can find it in the mods list under utilities.

[Demonic Spoon]

How do you access the custom workshops in the build menu?

[Deon]

Build (b) - Workshops (w) , there you have them.

[Demonic Spoon]

Mmm, I think I may have copied that part incorrectly then since I can't find them there, oh well. Thanks!

[Deon]

Which "part"? Do you try to take parts of the mod? It may be hard . It's supposed to be played as a whole heh.

If you want to take custom workshops only, you should copy building data, then reaction data, then add permitted buildings and jobs in the entity data.

[Demonic Spoon]

Aha, I forgot the permitted buildings part, thanks! Do you know if this would still work if you changed it after genning a world and embarking?
