Hey! Recently downloaded and tryed the mod. The Lyroaka seem to favour 'overkill' as a tactic. At least a dozen ambushes on a single fort in less than a month. I went from 32 dwarves to one surprisingly happy farmer. And then the bastard went on break.

All in all, a fun mod.

[Knight Otu]

Heh. Thanks.

[deanec64]

brought 6 obsidian when I started a new fotress but can't seem to order my dwarves  to make me 3 obsidian statues under the manager or elsewhere. got any suggestions?

[Knight Otu]

Go into the raws of your save, open inorganic_stone_layer.txt, find obsidian, remove the leading [ of the MAX_EDGE tag, save the file, and reload the game. You should then be able to toggle obsidian in the stone status screen and be able to make the statues. If you later want to create obsidian weapons, add the [ back. It's an unfortunate bug in DF itself.

[deanec64]

thanks did that and it shows up but my problem is when I goto the manager screen and look for obsidian now it won't even show up as a thing to make a job for. maybe I'm not doing it right?

[Knight Otu]

Ah, yes, I'm pretty sure no individual stone types appear in the manager screen. Just put a obsidian stockpile next to a mason shop, and add the jobs manually to it when the obsidian is there.

[deanec64]

thanks a bunch knight otu :-) FINALLY got myself both hall of light and hall of flame :-) now to really go to town ;-)

[Knight Otu]

Glad I could help.

I love the fey! I admit I took everything else out but the fey are cool and are perfect for stealing kids.  I wish there were more fey folk mods...

[Knight Otu]

Thanks.

Wow, I've really neglected my mods for quite some time. Need to make some time to at least upload some current versions.

[Knight Otu]

It's been quite too long without an update, but it's finally happened, even if it isn't even half as large as I'd have liked for the time. The mod now has its manual distributed with the download, and it contains all the details and the full changelog, so from now, the OP contains short descriptions of some relevant additions. The changelog for this version is as follows:

v1.1 From the Ashes
Added nine nonexistent/fanciful creatures.
Added gildengleams as a new savage/evil (for now) creature.
Added crawling scars as new underground vermin.
Added sawmill for several entities, including dwarves.
Added “halo” gem cut for aurides
Added slaughterwar master secret and wargaunt animation
Added vermancer secrets and slave spinner/spitter animation
Added wendigo curses
Added encar-specific secrets (not working as intended, commented out)
Reduced trade capacities of animals to half their stock values.
Change up for adventurer magic – dazzling light and flame arrow are replaced with flash concoction and fire concoction, added swift concoction, lungwater concoction, and concoction of earthen skin.
Added hist fig taunts for having killed aurides and wurad.

Now to continue updating the random creature scripts.

Stitched this into my own, heavily modded game.  Love it and the new features.

One tip though - your entities are using [TRANSLATION:KO_DF_RACE] when your language files are just named language_RACE, so you need to fix your translation tags

[Knight Otu]

What's important is that the TRANSLATION tags in the entity files and language files match up. The file names aren't quite so important anymore (they do need to start with language_, but that's it). Unless it's different on Windows? I know it works on Linux, and pretty sure it works through Wine, though admittedly I haven't tested that in a while.

[Thuellai]

You're right, it works fine

I gotta read these things closer.  I didn't realize you'd changed the internal title of the language.  My bad.

EDIT:  How did you get the game to recognize your new racial-specific taunts?  I have a couple custom races of my own and it could be fun to create custom taunts for them in Adventurer mode

[Knight Otu]

The kill taunts come from the SPEECH token (there's also CASTE_SPEECH and SPEECH_MALE and SPEECH_FEMALE), written as [SPEECH:file.txt]. The speech file goes into the data/speech folder rather than any raw folders.
