I approve of blood cooking.

[Deon]

Does it work though? If it works, you should fix the booze the same way, because right now booze food melts.

[SethCreiyd]

It seems that meals get certain attributes from whatever they're made with.  Melting point is one of those attributes.

In order to get blood and booze meals to stay solid is to make the booze and blood themselves solid at above room temperature.  Which would be pretty fun to try out.  It might make bleeding to death impossible.

[Deon]

I am pretty sure that the bleeding counter would still go down, it would only change pools of blood to globs of blood.

[PTTG??]

Alright, let's give this puppy a try...

[SethCreiyd]

Updated, everything works nicely with .05, (edit: and .06), check the recent changes in the first post for details.  World-gen is considerably improved over last version.  Populations are uncapped now for a more lively world with a more fleshed-out history.  See edit below.  With less entities, there's less caravan spam during fortress mode, but there's still the same amount of ethnic diversity in the world so long as you put the creatures somewhere else.

Yeah, you're probably right.  Still, it was an entertaining thought.

Edit:  Smallish update with version 0.26 for some tweaks and fixes here and there.

Later Edit:   0.26b.  Another small update, but an important one.  Since uncapped populations can cause tremendous slowdown, world populations have now been capped at a value of 100,000 by default.  I'm experimenting to see how high they can go before causing issues on my humble rig.  Entities that build settlements in/migrate to oceanside regions appear to cause considerable slowdown during world-gen as well.  Next version will have this tweaked so that world-gen should be comparable to vanilla speed.

Latest Edit:  Thanks for the bump Deon, you're very kind.

This mod is undergoing major changes for the next release.  Most of its features are being stripped and made modular, and what remains will be a collected of edits to various vanilla files.  Hopefully I'll have a better description by the time I release it.

[Deon]

BUMP because it fell back too far.

[ChickenLips]

Hey Seth, any news?  This looks very interesting, and am eagerly awaiting the next iteration of it.

[SethCreiyd]

Hi there.  The next version is going to be a lot more modular, and a lot of parts of this mod have been sectioned off into other projects.  What will eventually be left of Dwarf Chocolate are all my changes to vanilla game files only (my other mods don't touch original files, they only add new ones).  That'll include material adjustments, modifications and new versions of existing entities, world-gen parameters, and the like.  Now that some of my other projects are out I may resume this one with gusto.

So, thanks very much for the happily-timed bump.   

[ChickenLips]

Hey, Seth, I've been tinkering around with mods a bit using this one as a base to start from, and I know you're going through a rather significant update/change for this, as you said, but I was wondering about something I saw in the version up right now.  Was there any reason some parts of the crematorium mod were left out?  I see the building and reaction definitions, but the entity file only includes one of the cremate reactions, and the material templates have no cremation tags.  Was this intended?

[SethCreiyd]

I was trying to add reactions to the crematory and get it to work fully without the mods to creature mat templates.  I was less than successful at first.

[ChickenLips]

Ah, I see.  So it should not be considered working in the current version, I take it. (Or did I misread?)

Oh, another thing -- is it intentional that there are two identical language files, LANGUAGE_GOAT and LANGUAGE_WIZARD?

(And, given how you're adjusting your projects as you've described, is feedback of this sort helpful for the work you're currently doing, or is it sort of unhelpful until your next release comes out?)

What version of DF are you running?  I haven't updated this in a while.

The crematory in its current state works for some things, like vermin remains and corpses.  I'm not planning on keeping it around in its present state, but I do want to include a modified version in the Resource mod that will allow for cremation of It's not a personal requirement for it to burn animal refuse because I intend to find a use for all of it (hair is just begging to be used to make wigs).

I'm not annoyed by any of this, no worries.  I like discussing this stuff.  Sorry if my answers seem a bit vague but all this is very tentative stuff until it's all finished and uploaded.

When in adventure mode and trying to fast travel ..."T"  it ctd's.  Only other mods with it are ironhands graphics and wanderer02.  Oddest crash I ever had.


oops....read your question too fast.... the version of DF I'm using is 31_10.  Sorry about that.
