Holy shit. Toady's a genius.

He made help come up on the starting screen! Haven't checked fort mode yet.

That's been there since 0.31.17.

[TolyK]

what?
then how come I've noticed it only now, after playing LOADS of df .17/.18?
I've started forts and adventures for friends and have never got that before.

[MagmaMcFry]

Awesome. Look at the caverns.

So.. cool...

I'm sorry TolyK he's right, it's been like that since .17...

*self-moderation*
^That goes in the facepalm thread.

[Areyar]

Hmm....seems to have crashed during worldgen.
ed: No, I still hear the music. ?
Just the tray icon is gone (it was minimized)
yeah. CTR-ALT-DEL and activating the DF process brings it back up.

Adventure mode - wool product freezes game. (picking it up)
reproduced 9/10 times.

We should go to the Mantis.

I suppose a temporary workaround for giraffes would be a "lower neck, middle neck, upper neck" thing -- still made of spheres, just a linear stack of them.

I already use this method for long, whippy tails and tentacles. It works: they're hard to destroy with blunt weapons because you have to beat every inch, but they can be severed at any point along them, which is useful.

[MagmaMcFry]

Aw, sweet. The thought page says "He slept in the grass recently."

[G-Flex]

Those aren't new; we got those even back in 40d and probably much before. Just so it's clear.

Reference: Evil grass being seizure-inducing: Is that a comment on the default display values for said grass, or is there a syndrome now associated with some ground cover?

[Untelligent]

Apparently it blinks. Both graphically and literally. I've been trying to find some to see for myself but I haven't found any yet.

EDIT: Aha! Finally found some. Yeah, that is really annoying.

The former, judging by the raws.  They don't cause any syndrome, but tendrils do have an alt-tile thing going on so that they "writhe."

So yeah, our "giraffes" are basically just regular old ruminant animals. But with a different name, I guess!

Man, that's pretty bad.  I was hoping the donation drive animals would be a little more carefully implemented.

Giraffes are not a donation drive animal.  Only bees were, and I think I did enough work for them.  But yeah, there are things to be done.
