Desert elf prince has [COMMANDER:WINDWALKER:ALL] when desert elves don't have windwalkers listed, they have dunespeakers.

What exactly do the "special" skills do? IE Human Paladin, something Windwalker, Osman's Windsword or something.

WTF are they for?

They're not skills, they're job titles for swordsman, maceman, hammerman etc.
They confuse me too, hard to remember which is carrying the dangerous weapon (axe, sword, vanilla plate-piercing whip).


Hmm the Genesis docs wiki at http://df-genesis.wikidot.com/ needs account creation and Deon enabling your_account for editing the pages... why can't we have just a sub-page in the DF wiki, like
http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/User:Deon
http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/User:TomiTapio
that way anyone could edit without account creation.

This was probably answered before but what races and creatures that ambush/seige you are trap immune?
Also, how much better are war mastiff and war bulldogs better then normal wardogs? (and how do war boars fit in there?)

No ambush/siege civs have trap-avoid. Some ambush-predator spiders/raptors, I can't remember. Anyways I fine-tune lots of thing for my worlds.
I have a minimal FAQ of Genesis at http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/User:TomiTapio
and I guess boars were 90kg, so around mastiff size, They Can Rip Heads Off With Bite And Shake.

huh, sasquatches are called giantesses. Fixed.

My bad. Copy-pasting problems .

I love most of your changes, TomiTapio. I will release 3.02 soon with ghosts, mimics and these changes.

Desert elf prince has [COMMANDER:WINDWALKER:ALL] when desert elves don't have windwalkers listed, they have dunespeakers.

Thank you, again some old problem I didn't notice. I will fix it

So things are going well. However, after starting some engraving, I come back to find this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I haven't changed anything, this is directly from the graphics pack install. Anything I engrave turns into that horrible mess.

I probably forgot init settings. Engravings may look like symbols, but it's a mess so better have them obscured.

You'll need to change the 'Engravings Start Engraved' setting in the init file, that'll stop that from happening in the future. To switch those back, there's an option in the mass designations menu (d > b > ?, I think?). Do that before engraving anymore, it toggles all engravings in the area.

"Engravings start obscured".

It's [ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED:YES] instead of NO in the d_init.txt.

  Is there a prepackaged version for this? I might want to try it at some time and I am absolutely no good at installing mods.

Both versions are prepackaged. I plan to make soundtrack into a separate download soon though.

They are just "flavorful" names for races' professions. Windswords are swordsmen, paladins are macemen etc.

I think kobolds only,  I shoud check it.

Bulldogs and mastiffs are better than dogs because they are much larger, especially mastiffs. 1 mastiff is somewhere near twice better than 1 dog.



Sorry for a bit random way of answering. I'm just back from a loooong walk with my wife. We started it yesterday and we walked around the city for the whole night and morning. Lots of beer, Martini, dancing in clubs, sea-shore walking, jumping in river etc. Sometimes an old man like me needs a shake like that hehe.

So I will take a nap for 30 min. or so and then I will fix the problems.

[Medicine Man]

I just have a question,Is it possible to tame zombies?I have a zombie draltha in a cage.And is it possible to tame ghouls?

[Deon]

I don't think you can tame zombies. And you can't tame ghouls.

Also I forgot to add "animated armor" body to the graphical version... Daww... It's ok guys, I'm working on the fix right now . It will be out soon.

[TomiTapio]

I just have a question,Is it possible to tame zombies?I have a zombie draltha in a cage.And is it possible to tame ghouls?

No, it's not possible. The undead do not have PET or PET_EXOTIC. Ghouls don't have pet tags either. It's part of the world's design.
Have fun in your evil region! And build magma smelters above the -32 level magma sea.

[Deon]

Okay, I've just noticed that SCALE doesn't have TAN_MAT product... So you couldn't get dragonscale armors.

Now you can, as a part of the fix:



P.S. Omg, I don't know how did it get there (last line) O_O.

[Medicine Man]

I have another question,if I release the zombies and ghouls in a siege,ambush etc will they kill the enemies or just my dwarfs?

[Deon]

Wildlife attacks siegers too, so you can make them a "defence mechanism".

I've added giant sandworms (ambushpredators).

balor's attack verb quite strange. "your"

It's used in 1st person for adventure mode only, so it relates to "you" (adventurer).

Errorlog is full of armorman problems.

I forgot to add armorman body definitions to the graphical version. It's fixed for 3.02

I think those category tags either do nothing

They determine the tissues.

Most of your suggestions/tweaks/fixes are incorporated (like 90%). You're REALLY helpful, this mod wouldn't be as good/correct as it is without you, thank you .

[Deon]

Okay, it's done.

Say great thanks to TomiTapio, everyone.

What does this mean?

[daemoria]

I just had a random brainfart of an idea. I remember back ages ago editing a creatures alt tile, some sort of snake or something so that it looked like it wriggled around.

Any idea if you are going to do anything with alttiles to add some ambient animation?

[Deon]

It's possible for ASCII version only .

And soon we will get multitiled creatures and animated dwarves, so I would just wait.
