Some time ago (quite a lot of time really) Umiman, our glorious forumite, has compiled a Small Things mod which added flavorful stuff like prefstrings, engravings and new threats to the speech.

While it's not a gamebreaking stuff and doesn't add a lot of gameplay value, I really liked different yells of anger in adventure mode and new shapes on my walls in Fortress mode.

I've downloaded it to expand my Genesis mod and noticed that it only has threat.txt and no_family.txt in regard to text files. So I've decided that it's about time to expand it, using your help!

Suggest your additions to whatever files you want.

Existing stuff:

I reserve 2nd post for more space for the text.

Here's a shot stuff I came up with

OK, let's start. I will rather make new posts than a changelog for now. A bit busy here.

New threats:

High five to those who can remember where is it from.

I actually had my mind set on some sort of modification such as this one! This is great! :D
I had written down some threats, but it seems as if that section is well-covered. :D I'm positive that nearly all my threats are similar to the ones in your list, so it doesn't matter.

You want to expand all speech texts, not just the four you've listed, correct? I could brainstorm up a couple for you if so :) However, are there any laws regarding who says what? As far as I know, anyone could say anything, regardless of circumstances. The same person who've said: "Family? That would be nice..." could very well proclaim: "I only need strength. Love is an illusion." only seconds after inquiring again. Furthermore, and ogre could haughtily say: "Imbecile. The time for talk is over." It's a bit discordant with the view (stereotype? :P) that ogres are damn stupid. Is there a way to 'fix' this, or are we going to just roll with it? Answering this would help me in coming up with new speech lines :D

We just roll it, that's how DF works. Still it is much funnier than seeing the same thing over and over. And maybe that ogre was a very clever one :P.

True, we'd better not let our prejudice discriminate so wildly... I'm certain that ogre had a degree in sesquipedalian loquaciousness... xD
I'll come up with some good phrases for a wide range on the speech files spectrum... next day. Or the next night, depending on wherever you are :P It's wierd being European on an American forum, sometimes :)

I am from Russia. There's a lot of Europeans, so it's not an American forum per se.

I would call this very much an international community. There are people here from all over the world, it's not an American forum.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

That's great... Does anybody want to expand something else besides threats? That was a point. It looks like our community really likes aggressiveness :P.

I think new shapes for engravings and other things are in order. I remember someone had received a raw with a modded in penis shape, he had penises all over his fort...  :P

I really want that one as a "when". I want "grubs", and "virgin woman" to turn into a dragon. and monkey children to suddenly sprout wings. And I want the Dwarven Mutant Academy to only gain their powers upon reaching puberty. I also have a whole host of odd creatures that only make sense if I divide them into children and adults.

Also, tadpoles.

Well, no, I do not have such silly things, but I have tons of other stuff in engravings.

Oh, heh.  That was me.  It was for a succession game on the Cracked forums; dick jokes are a way of life over there.

Anyway.
