Does it look like it has?

Soon, I'm sure.

[mud074]

I got it working, but when I try to connect, it says "SHM ACCESS DENIED"

anybody know what that means?

bumpbecauseofnoanswers.

[seanb]

mud, you probably don't have answers because we don't have enough information to give you one. Runesmith isn't up to date, and therefore isn't working for ANY of us.

and you arn't 'bumping' anything when there are active conersations going on.

I use it to give my military a couple levels in fighting skills, since training is so cripplingly slow and they get whittled down faster than they get trained up, even with armor.  That, and they throw hissy fits if they are on duty too long. 

A danger room trains dwarves sickeningly fast.

If you make the danger room double as the barracks, so they spend all their time there, you can get dwarves that are legendary in (weapon), dodging, fighting, armor and shield in a year or two.
At that point they're pretty much invulnerable to most normal weaponry.

Or you could just cheat to do it instantly, seeing as how you're exploiting the game either way.

I only use it for legendary fisherman. You won't believe how much they can pull in.

Now there's an interesting question.  If an exploit is being used to make up for an oversight in the game's mechanics, is it really an exploit?

Whether the military is really supposed to train that slowly is very subjective of course, but considering how fast a squad of six went legendary in 40d, (usually less than a year, as I recall) I'm guessing that it's supposed to be at least a little bit faster than it is now.

[OmnipotentGrue]

If an exploit is being used, is it really an exploit?

Mmmmmmm... yes? 

Still, I don't think that military skills go up that slow, and technically if you're going to have your dwarves sit in a room doing nothing until they become legendary it doesn't seem much different from using Runesmith (barring the time it takes, of course).

[Urist Imiknorris]

They're not really doing nothing, though, as any children or pets who spend time in there can attest.

i cant figure out how to use mood material editing, can someone tell me where the tab for this is?

If something I said is quoted, but my words are edited so they mean something else, am I still being quoted?

Nope!


And to the poster above him... Mood Editing is having a Mood(crashes). Got a Fey Mood needing thread... with !Mining! as the Labor... tried to switch to metalcrafting... and boom(crash). As for material editing... that's likely not remotely in... I tried everything ... in Runesmith and in game. Rabid Weaver still happened. Had to snuff him in Runesmith.

[meowmix]

well the front page says that mood material editing is supported in runesmith but i cannot figure out how to use it.

As has been explained, altering moods is broken.  ANYTHING having to do with it, besides the aforementioned dead dwarf.  No current fix in sight.
