There seems to be a problem with the crematory. I tried cremating body parts and it instead cremated the ash already in it to make 15,000 pieces of ash

On the other hand, a tower made from ash.

This probrably isn't a huge problem, but I found a typo under the Golem caste.

You have to admit, if you where a trader, you would be a little impressed by a gigantic tower made of smoldering ash. Perhapes with some dug-out pit that goes all the way to the magma sea, with the whole thing being supported over it.


...Excuse me. I have a new megaproject to do.

[tj333]

That is a cool megaproject. Perhaps I will try that one later. Right now I've combined fortress defense and Wizard Tower and I am just trying to survive.

Edit: Maybe add a reaction to make a block called smoldering or swirling ash.

Reaction takes 1x ruby and 10x ash, outputs 10x smoldering ash?

Ive just picked up this mod and have spent some time in Adventure mode. As a Human Swordsman when fighting Sorcerers (any kind) I find that my attacks get deflected constantly by their Iron Mailed Robes. Ive used iron/silver/bronze swords all with the same outcome. Is this an inbalance or is the something going on Im not aware off? Is Wizards Tower ment for Adventure Mode?

Awesome mod by the way.

I have a question. What is the whole point of the magic flows over x body part when you use close range magic? does it have any effect  whatsoever or is it just added on to make it sound more interesting

That is part of the vanilla game. It happens if you're using a [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT] (or somesuch) attack with a material that has a syndrome that isn't [SYN_INJECTED]. It actually applies the syndrome the attack gives to the attacked bodypart on contact, rather than through injection.

That is brilliant! A lot of work must have been made by the modder for that to work as it does now.Also thanks for the explanation. Oh and what exactly do the different types of magic do anyways?

I'm glad to see continued interest in this and I appreciate the bug reports.  I'll be updating this again whenever Toady One's finished with the next DF release, with fixes for that stuff and some other stuff I've been cobbling together.  I'll need to eventually get to making interactions for the new critters as well as a whole slew of "spells" that wizards can cast, and it'll be fun seeing how the vampires and necromancers and whatnot will fit into this.  I'm thinking of making new mutual enemies for the Sorcerers and Wizards to deal with in the form of wraiths and some kind of faceless gray monster that transforms others into more of its own kind by touching them, kind of like the green slime of Nethack meets a wad of strange matter, but this is all just on paper until we can mess around with interactions, obviously.

Thanks, though it still needs quite a bit of work I think.  Some of the syndromes are temperamental with their durations and the effects are rather crudely implemented right now, but they make for snazzy light shows.

Generally, magic does what it's description says; paralysis magic causes paralysis, dizzying causes dizziness, etc.  "Hex" magic is generally damaging and cause effects like bleeding and pain.  Pink magic has a chance of causing the heart to stop.  "Light" is supposed to have a temporary blinding effect when it hits the face and eyes, but as it stands it seems to cause permanent blindness in everyone nearby, so that needs a wee adjustment.  A "curse" will temporarily cause all powerful melee strikes that connect to be lethal (the curse kills the functioning of the nervous system; the game seems to apply some sort of 1-hp-left to mortal creatures in such a state).  Prismatic magic has a variety of effects, most of them very harmful.  Wizards are immune to Wizard magic, and Sorcerers are immune to Sorcerer magic, this is mostly to keep mages from getting hit by their own spells every time they cast them.

I'm pretty tired and working from memory so I might be wrong on some of the details.

How do you get golems?

[nukularpower]

Alright, some more problems.

Currently, the reaction for making a capacitor instead makes a lens instead of a capacitor.

Once I fixed that and got a reactor, I got the wand shop up and running. I tested every wand I could, and they all immediately crash the game when created.

There's nothing in the errorlog that indicates why this is happening. I checked the raws to see if I could find an obvious typo, but I'm not super proficient at that sort of thing yet. I'm guessing there's some sort of call for a null value, I'm also guessing it has to do with the actual Wand items themselves because it doesn't crash until the end of the creation process.

(You're missing a bracket after [TWO_HANDED:15000"]" in the Wand of Piercing.)
(The reaction for wand of Blasting makes a Wand of Cutting.)


I couldn't make the Wands of Blasting/Shredding/Striking for some reason because I was unable to make a Lithium Battery. Not really sure why, as I have more than the required reagents. (8 Lithium Bars, 19 Graphite, 15 Salt Ash Solution)

Hopefully you can make use of this information. Best of luck !

EDIT: I got the wands working ! I took the Uranium Toxin code off the wands, and suddenly they don't all crash the game !

[PRODUCT:100:5:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:URANIUM_TOXIN][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

I still can't get the Lithium battery to be produced.. and I have no idea WHY that worked, I just had a feeling it was screwing with things.

Are these fixes in the current downloadable version?  Not good at editing RAWs and wanna be able to build the wands XD

Also, are the blind/polymoprh/etc spells usable in Fortress mode, and if so, how?  Are they random syndromes that happen when a wizard fights or something like that?

[SethCreiyd]

The missiles are glob breath attacks made up of the magic creature material produced by sorcerers and wizards.  The spells work with the same kind of materials, but they're considered physical attacks and, if the wizard is armed, attacks of opportunity.  The syndromes are tied to the creature mats.  You'll see more magic in fortress mode if you keep the militia from equipping weapons.

I haven't uploaded a new version yet, but I should have enough time to comb the incomplete stuff out of what I've been working on and fix those bugs.  I'll try to get this done in the next few days.

[nukularpower]

Awesome, look forward to it!
