Deon, there appears to be something in Genesis that doesn't play well with the Mac version of DF. I've just now tried replacing the vanilla "objects" folder with the Genesis ASCII version "objects" folder on various computers. Arch GNU/Linux native DF, Windows DF through WINE in Arch, Windows DF through WINE on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, and Windows 7 DF all work perfectly. However, the Mac version crashes with what appears to be a memory leak.

Maybe Genesis has gotten so big that the Mac version of DF fails to load it correctly, maybe because it has less ability to do so than the other OS native versions or something along those lines?

Re: named enemies. Can't you add the babysnatcher tag as well as CAN_SPEAK and still have names and auto-hostility, like the goblins?

[Tirion]

Any chance for named (or even speaking) yet auto-hostile beastmen and centaurs in the new release?

You can add CAN_SPEAK to them AFTER the world is generated. It will keep the war status but give them names (won't help historical figures though).

Tried that, they became peaceful when I added it and only re-started the attacks when I removed it

Well, it worked a few versions back! So now it's "fixed", damn it.

It would delay them significally. The current "hack" with the lack of speech makes them an earlier threat and that's their role. Thus they do not send small ambushes and wait for a long time before sending actual sieges.

It's really strange to hear, of course DF is big but if DF itself can parse the files, I don't see a reason why... Whatever, I don't know how Macs work . And sadly I cannot test that, because I have no Mac.

Is there any Mac user who can play Genesis?

[arghy]

Yeah i enjoy the beastmen and ambushes can be really annoying when they lag your fortress by taking their damn time to get into your entrance hall of death!

I wish there was a way to tell exactly what kind of flux stone there was because the lack of iron really cripples my fortresses, i'd rather have all the iron in the world and import rare metals then have to import iron/steel.

A dwarven sun forge would be pretty awesome to melt the low temperature melting metals!, requires a clear/crystal dwarven lens, has to be outside and can only melt the low temp metals. The better quality the glass lens the faster the process could take!

I have tested Genesis on two Mac computers, both with the same operating system version and hardware, so I know that it's at least not a problem specific to how I have my OS set up. I think my neighbor has an Intel Mac lying around... I could give it a try on there and get back to you once I do so.

In addition, if you come up with an attempted fix, I'd be willing to test it.

EDIT: Tested on the neighbor's computer (mac osx 10.6.7), and it crashed in the same way.

I find the tileset of 25k2 very hard to comprehend, comparing to the previous versions'
especially for the low-grade gemstones and metal ores.

Just a little oddity I've noticed in the embark, but when I went looking through the "meat" section while preparing things like "lungs" and organ meats show as being worth 0 dworfbucks, copper picks are 140 something, copper axes as 240 dworfbucks. Is this suppose to be like that or it there a fluke? Just curious.

I really do enjoy this mod and can't wait to see what comes next.

Alright i've noticed the kennels seem to be acting odd--i had a 'train war animal' stuck for 2 seasons with multiple war animals but nothing was happening. I thought it was maybe a few bugged animals so i built 4 kennels and now they all seem to be working prolly cycling through the bugged animal.

*Domple dwarf baron*: "Welcome to the fortress! ignore the red snow but notice not a single skull or bone gone to waste!"
*Immigrant father with 2 children*: "That tower is impressive! the one covered with an angry cloud of bees.... hey whats that over there?
*Immigrant son*: "OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?! ITS LIKE CTHULU COME! ITS GOT SUSIE! ITS TEARING HER LIMB FROM LIMB!"
*Domple dwarf baron*: "Yeah... thats a sea monster you gotta learn to run faster"
*Immigrant father with 1 child*: "OH MY GOD SU--ooh nice bridge"

Also dear god WHY CANT THEY INVENT SPAYING AND NEUTERING? the butcher shops are running non stop DIE REINDEER DIE!

There was something like that in the raws of TomiTapio in the past, are you using that one?

[Tirion]

Do only dorfs with the right job activated do the reactions in the skill training workshops? Such as, "read diagnostics tomes" jobs will only be taken by dorfs with the Diagnosis job on?

Downloaded the 3.25.k2 Ironhand version. I'm really not sure if that's got TomiTapio's raws or not.

How can i tweak rocktip arrows/bolts so they actually do cutting damage and will i have to restart for it to take affect? I just watched a lust demon with no armor on take over 200 bolts/arrows and block 70% of them while the other 30% just bruised him. Hes still alive soaking up bolts and arrows and giving my dwarves practice.
