wow, I jumped along in the 40d series and after a year of sparingly fixes this flurry of feature filled release is making my head spin

[Knight Otu]

Thanks again!

HUNTER will place them as a world gen beast.  You probably also need SPOUSE_CONVERTER on a caste for it to use it, and you'd want CONVERTED_SPOUSE on a caste as well.  Somebody mentioned this not working or causing world gen crashes, but I haven't reproduced it yet.

Yeah, I've mentioned that, but at least my crashes I've traced to a caste-heavy civ race, with the other testing apparently being random chance. Removing any two of the castes did resolve the crashes, though (it wasn't a problem with a specific caste as far as I can see), so maybe it was the bug mentioned on the dev page?

RULES_FROM_LOCATION should do it for any position, though they probably build extra castles even if you don't have positions for them.

Actually, it seems that lords and ladies are elevated even without the random position tag.

It was kind of annoying to see the state of the Threetoe article on the wiki, so we thought we'd try to reflect the work he's been doing a bit more evenly on the log.

*checks the wiki* Ugh, that horrible fan fiction accusation again? I've seen it in a comment on an interview before, but that it made it to the wiki? It's just silly. "Yeah, I like the gameplay of the recent Zelda games, and the fan fiction they put into the games is nice as well."

Regarding tools, they are currently not native to Dwarf mode, probably only appearing there with custom reactions. Do you think that the pick and similar things (shovels, felling axes, two-man saws...) will move over to the tool format with a tag to make them applicable for dwarf mode to allow some tool use there without it becoming overwhelming?

Well you could ask the owner of the magma-wicky to remove the edit function for the Threetoe and Toady articles. I looked into the history of the article and it was indeed very unfair. Sure we dont see Threetoe coding but all that fantastic lore of the stock-universe would be not even half as awesome without him. Df wouldnt be ass fun as it is.
 
Did i get that right (since the question came up on the forum) That creature lairs behave as "Player created side" and stuff in there does in fact not scatter around?

That the dragons get more diversified is nice in my opinion i hope they get bonded to spheres a bit with some correlating ability's. Hehe this might be a nice central point of another threetoe story mayhaps?

edit:  Damn tags.

Especially given the existence of ghosts, I'd think that villagers would like to have the bodies back for proper interment to make sure that the victims rest easy. Not only from the "Care for the Dead" point of view, but from the "Make sure they don't haunt the shit out of us" point of view.

Yeah, thats what I had in mind. It would also be a nice change from the "kill this - kill that" quests. Players could be send to caves of very powerful creatures, which would be much too difficult to kill yet. They just have to sneak in, get the skull and run like hell if they are discovered. Maybe leave a peasant behind as a distraction. Next quest: retrieve peasant parts.

Further trading question.

Will trading a material to a civ give them limited access to that material in the same manner that it currently does for the player? For example, Vanilla Elves don't use metal. If I traded away large amounts of coke and steel bars to the elves, would they later show up with low quality steel equipment made from those bars? Similarly, will resource deposits become more important in worldgen, for example humans fighting elves to gain a tin deposit (once tin is properly rare again)?

Hhnng I keep refreshing the devlog page every 15 minutes hoping for a .18 release

What are you expecting in .18?

[Lord Shonus]

Probably the trap bug fix.

Probably the trap bug fix.

ah, ok

[Mandaril]

*edit* Woops, wrong topic.

[PTTG??]

Who else just started thinking about tea and improbability?

[Orkel]

Will this be possible in future versions?

A Zombie Goast: But really
A Zombie Goast: If the Dwarf grows attached to a weapon
A Zombie Goast: Or piece of armor
A Zombie Goast: And the Dwarf dies
A Zombie Goast: That thing should become haunted
A Zombie Goast: Or whatever they call it when an object has a ghost

[Neonivek]

Anyhow

Thanks again Toady for answering our questions!

i noticed a small bug in site naming (i'll check the bugtracker later)

namely:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

from another thread:

I've noticed a bunch of extra darkness in the goblins in mark17.

In the region map, I can see
a bunch of dark goblin dark fortresses of lalala,
when ruined however, these turn into a dark dark fortress of bla bla.

I guess this is a small bug where 'goblin' is removed (instead of dark goblin) when goblins no longer own the site, leaving a dark dark ruin.
I wonder where the extra dark matter came from, (I'm sure Hawking cannot help here), maybe it is added when a goblin civ worships darkness or a demon?

Goblin fortresses are now dark goblin dark fortresses, when ruined they become dark dark fortresses. Does this extra darkness have a connection to what the local goblins worship?
