I AM ANTI-DISAPPOINT.

YOU DO WELL, SON OF DUDE

[Asra]

Woah! This hack has already come a long way since I played it last! Looks like my hiatus to wait for more bugfixes is coming to another end thanks to this mod!


EDIT: Also I'm not sure how castes work. Will I be able to create a fortress with just Gloomers if I attempt Dwarf Eugenics and only let Gloomers breed with other Gloomers?

[Deon]

They are random, but if you REALLY want it, you can go to the dwarven raws and change POP_RATIO on all unwanted castes to 0. Right now there's a population ratio (POP_RATIO token) which gives a chance of every caste to be born.

Also damn it! I've just realised that ALMOST ALL df creatures have no teeth/nails defined. I mean, the game thinks they are made OF SKIN! No wonder dogs suck so much. I will have to go through EVERY creature and assign appropriate teeth/nails to them... And I will make stronger teeth/nails for monsters like dragons and such.

[Asra]

Deon, I just searched the topic and I was wondering... IN your old Fallout mod from last version you had the music built-in to the game. Since I can't find /data/sound/song_game.ogg in the dwarf fortress folder is there any other way to get it in. Or should I just listen to it in the background?

[Deon]

There is /data/sound/song_game.ogg file for me... If there's none for you, place the one from the soundtrack there and it will play.

There's a typo? I just clicked on all three links, they all work fine.

Yes there is. Fanciful creatures mod has http://:// so it's NOT working. Maybe your sig is cached on your PC wrong?

Sorry for being off topic, but it works well for me. What would I have to put for it to work? This is what I have currently:

I know the first and last brackets are gone, I did that so you could see it.

Great job on the mod Deon!

[Deon]

Are you trolling me, seriously?

Do you see this?

P.S. Also you broke your quote.

Replace "://://" with "://"

Whoops! Thanks for that. I probably should have backed out of the folder first. I was looking at the wrong one... In anycase I love the Excel document, since it means I'll have an easier time forcing my dwarves to drink what I want them to drink.

What? That shouldn't be the case. Both VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS and EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS definitely apply the tooth layer template to tooth body parts via [BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH:TOOTH:100] , and creatures like lions have the tags (
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CLAW:NAIL_TEMPLATE]
   [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:CLAW:CLAW_TEMPLATE]
   [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:TOE:CLAW:FRONT]
) to add the material and tissue to the creature, and the tissue layer to their claws.

[Deon]

OK I see, I didn't check the VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS template.

But I've checked and teeth and nails have solid density 500! It means they CANNOT pierce any clothing even if they wanted it very much. I am planning a rebalance to it for the next version, to make them able to pierce cloth but have troubles with leather armor. Sadly there's no armor "thickness" yet.

[Knight Otu]

But I've checked and teeth and nails have solid density 500!

I believe the shear values are more important for tooth and nail, though a rebalance is needed, yes.

[Lancensis]

Arrkhal's material mod seemed pretty good for natural materials (I didn't get 'round to testing the metals, and stuff). I believe he gave teeth values close to bone, and scales values closer to nails. In fact, teeth probably needed a bit more boosting, since many animals are capable of devouring bone.

Incidentally, how much effort would be needed to cram Genesis and Direforged into a single mod?

[Deon]

But I've checked and teeth and nails have solid density 500!

I believe the shear values are more important for tooth and nail, though a rebalance is needed, yes.

They cannot pierce with current 10000 shear values and they cannot pierce with 700000 shear values (like for metals). Density is more important here .

[Knight Otu]

Incidentally, how much effort would be needed to cram Genesis and Direforged into a single mod?

The basics should be easy, start with Genesis, copy the *_direforged files into the folder, and follow the direforged readme on what to add to entity_default and material_template_default (Deon and I make the same change to b_detail_plan_default.txt so there is no change needed there). There is some detailwork to consider, such as what entities from one mod should use what equipment/buildings/reactions from the other. One thing that I'd definitely do is add the PETRIFY_IMMUNE creature class to the stonegazers, and make their syndromes not affect creatures with that class, same as I did with the basilisk crab.

[Deon]

Hey, I somehow missed the Direforged mod. It looks cool. If you won't be able to merge them I can do it for you.

Also check the plant tiles. I have some custom tiles shuffled around so you may want to change plant tiles to some appropriate from the tileset you use.
