(busy season)

The suffering is real for me too. Being old sucks

Hey darkflagrence, I found and fixed an error in the Joutun Raws. If you want the Ettinjoutns to have an E tile, or Ogre Joutuns to have an O tile, change the [CREATURE_TILE] to [CASTE_TILE] in the rasa

Thanks, I'll fix that also. So many bugfixes all of a sudden, it's nice to have new eyes on the mod.

Go big or go home man, new horrific races are always a good thing. One of my dreams, currently unrealized because mercs don't become citizens, is to have some kind of breeding murder-freakshow of a fort. More races would make that easier. And more races would make more murder. There is no downside here.

Also, I really need to play with the plump helmets, just as you released them real life crushed worse than they will...

Should be as simple as allowing Fortress Defense races to be performers. It probably won't hurt to add that capability.

More choices to challenge us sounds great! I did notice the desert scorpions with bits about beak dogs and was confused, but guessed it was an easter egg. Also noticed that you removed it in the latest version. This mod is perfect for the variety of possibly fort ending creatures, dwarf combat experience and especially for the steel I can then melt down haha

Probably because most people don't go comment hunting for extras. It would be nice as Thuellai mentioned to be able to individually install them, but I only remove two races out of all of them anyway so it's not hard to manually edit them out

splitFD()
Boom, python script to automatically split files into their constituent entity pieces. You don't need to split creature files because the ones that don't have entities won't spawn regardless. You can use this if you installed Python by running this script in the same directory as a target entity file, changing the name of the file to access as appropriate, or you can wait for me to run it on my mod when I wake up this evening.

[darkflagrance]

Version 0.20 released, with individual entity files.

---Changes for 0.20 R6

-Added individual entity files so that mix-and-matching is easier. There is no need to split the creatures file, because they won't spawn without their corresponding entity present anyway
-Fortress Defense enemies may now apply for citizenship! Also, more Fortress Defense races can now be mercenaries and visitors
-Removed STRUCTURAL from fiend tissue
-Greater Badgermen can no longer be poisoned or suffer infections from wounds (to increase resemblance to honey badgers)
-Great Fiend Spider progress triggers altered so they attack later
-Nakashim renamed to Nakash Snakemen/women

Spoiler: "Also a preview for a future version" (click to show/hide)

Dark Desert Scorpions
Plump Helmet Men
Hydras/Dragons/Cave Dragons/Poison Dragon
Grimelings - grimeling conversion
Putrid Blendecs - upgraded to induce vomiting on sight
Nightlords (bloodsucking, mummy cursing, necromancy)
Black Princes (beasts with mummy cursing, grasping horns)

Let me know if you have any suggestions for other challenge races.

[Lordsservent-san]

I actually made a race of zombies(made as an entity of course) intended to come and attack your fortress. They don't avoid traps, but they can destroy doors and furniture, they also know how to make metal, and how to manufacture human and Dwaven wepaonry.

Darkflagrance, are you okay with your mod being bundled with Lazy Newb Packs?

[pikachu17]

Jecowa, I didn't know mods were bundled with Lazy Newb Packs.

[jecowa]

Jecowa, I didn't know mods were bundled with Lazy Newb Packs.

I'm not sure if there are any Lazy Newb Packs that include mods. (Is Masterwork a Lazy Newb Pack maybe?)

The Lazy Newb Pack added mod support a couple of years ago. It looks like it might even support two mods editing the same file. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142295

That'd be pretty cool.

[Lordsservent-san]

Jecowa, I didn't know mods were bundled with Lazy Newb Packs.

The lazy newb pack has actually been packed with mods before, though usually they just go vinilla with Dwarf therapist and DF hack.

[darkflagrance]

Darkflagrance, are you okay with your mod being bundled with Lazy Newb Packs?

Yes, I am fine with it.

[jecowa]

Darkflagrance, are you okay with your mod being bundled with Lazy Newb Packs?

Yes, I am fine with it.

Thanks! Is it okay to include Plump Helmet Invaders with Lazy Newb Packs too?

You have my permission.

-Fortress Defense enemies may now apply for citizenship! Also, more Fortress Defense races can now be mercenaries and visitors

This causes massive issues if said creatures are building-destroyers, because they will arrive friendly, yet still raze your doors, statues, workshops, etc.

Btw, do you know a way to stop a civ from sending mercenaries, scholars, visitors, etc? Any way to turn that off?

[Xinrai]

Btw, do you know a way to stop a civ from sending mercenaries, scholars, visitors, etc? Any way to turn that off?

The entity files in the raw have [MERCENARY] written in them, I think removing that and maybe some others. There's [WANDERER], possibly that one? I don't know about scholars.

Btw, can these be modified and still have an effect on an existing save? Or new worldgen? Probably new worlgen.

[darkflagrance]

I don't know how to stop them sending thieves. Only non-building destroyer races have had the visitor tags added (the tags to produce music/instruments/poetry, and the mercenary tags). It is possible the WANDERER tag causes thieves to wander, but I suspect it is the BABYSNATCHER and ITEM THIEF tags that do it, which I cannot remove without undermining the purpose of the mod.

[Meph]

(the tags to produce music/instruments/poetry, and the mercenary tags)

I feel not-so-smart that I did not see the correlation between instrument making and visiting bards...

I got some reports about spiderfiends etc visiting, razing workshops and causing a ruckus, but I cant find the tags in the entity file that would stop that. I'm using a slightly older version:

Well, once I actually get a fort with a functioning military, this is goain't to be quite interesting.
Also, I foundation few more things that are minor, but should be fixed. There is a 3EYES body in the default Raws used on vinilla stranglers that you can use on your own dark stranglers, and you need to fix your Cyclops body so it only has one eye, and change the caste preferring from eyes to eye.
