Also, I was mostly busy with some other Dwarf fortress related tool which will eat most of my free DF related time until it is ready to be released:

Oh my, that's glorious. Cannot wait!

It is up now!

Is there ANY possible way to disable sparring sound while keeping actual combat sound in?

Sadly, no, not really. Sparring produces many undistinguishable messages - blocks, evades, charges. And game does not differentiate between them.

You can remove "taps lightly", which are rare in actual combat, but common in sparring.

Thanks to Simon Swerwer, we now have voiceovers for Adventurer / Fortress mode speech.

Hi zwei,

O_o where is it up for grabs? Only via update functionality currently?

Also for your Historian App, any chance of you supplying the apk somewhere else than on Google Play?

I always release both files to autoupdate functionality as well as simple download of zip.

As for apk of Historian - I never considered putting it somewhere else than google play. Why does that not suit you?

I for one dislike having to go through Google to download apps.

I kind of gathered that already, but not reasons. Is Google new Microsoft?

Anyway, as with all apps, you can find it on scrapper sites, like this: http://www.appszoom.com/android-app/dwarf-fortress-historian-michm.html?ref=from-search-results

However, I have no idea how updating would work - it still shows first version, but two updates were already published.

Excuse me if this has been answered before, but how can I turn off the default music for DF so only the Soundsense tracks play? Right now bnoth play at the same time, clashing with each other.

[Nopenope]

In data/init/init.txt, change [SOUND:YES] to [SOUND:NO].

[zwei]

New update for soundpack is up! Both via autoupdate and via full download

Five new songs by Simon Swerwer!

And small touchups.

Cheers!

In data/init/init.txt, change [SOUND:YES] to [SOUND:NO].

Or you can just delete files in music directory :-)

Got a queation about soundsense, why are my hunters shouting out ghost when they run out of bolts? and how can i stop them doing it?
It get's abit annoying whenever 3-4 hunters run out just after each other and soundsense tells me they are seeing ghosts, when there are no ghosts.

And the other thing i noticed, is that the play:4 Everything is alwas on, even when i select something else. I know i can turn off the music, but i rather not have it start in the first place.

If this has been asked in the last 60 pages, i am sorry for asking it again, but i rather play df then read every post

Thanks in advance.

Sup, Aqua.

You can stop the "ost" shouts by deleting the Fear files in this folder:

\soundsense\packs\emotion\voices

P.S. He's (I'm) saying "ost!" and "curuk!" which means "terror!" and "fear!" in the game's Human language (kind of like the "common tongue", no? Hope I don't piss of the purists by saying that).

I'm hopeful that down the line zwei will be able to introduce the appropriate languages in Fortress Mode and adventure more, but it'll be a doozy it seems. He's only got the gamelog file to work with. I'm not much of a voice actor, I'm afraid, and I squirm a little when I send out hunters. The "ost" one I can do better, I think (and will, once I have some free time). But in adventure mode and for now, the voiceovers might be just a teensy bit useful if I may say so myself. I'm really hoping other folks volunteer their voices later on, though. *nudge, nudge*

P.P.S. In dwarven, it would be "nist!" and "angzak!" in a scruffier voice.

Thanks for the reply Poonyen,

But i am still wondering why they are shouting that everytime they are done with making pincushions instead of when being in fear

They fear consequences of their actions? I guess behavioral code handles "out of ammo, hostile incomming" as situation requiring bravery - and possibly resulting in fear if dwarves have low discipline.

Yeah, sadly there is little available to distinguish speaker of line.

For example:

Code: [Select]

`Soldier' Urvadrakust, Elite Wrestler: Death...  This is truly horrifying.
Race does no figure at all in message.

You can guesstimate some things - he has player assigned nickname, so that can be sign of being dwarf, but only could.

You can use job titles that are race specific - but that works only for some (Wrestler is not, but Axedwarf is).

You could go by racial names/surnames - but that is messy (so many combinations) and not guaranteed at all (i.e. dwarf raised under goblin ocupation would have goblin name).

One could use dfhack to querry game for information required, but that would likely be framerate killer.

Speech is big project.

I just found this complaint about the "soundsense.lua" script prematurely announcing ambushes as a vile force of darkness, and thought I'd repost it here.
