RAWS wtf?
« on: October 24, 2010, 09:55:22 pm »
I was checking the RAWS one day when i found this

Code: [Select]
who was too short to live
who tunneled away from me like a frightened mole
who sucked plump helmets like a purring maggot
whose hammer shattered on the anvil of my power
who forged [PRO_POS] own doom by challenging me
who was returned to the rock and muck from which it was spawned
whose tall tales of bravery were all the more embarrassing because of [PRO_POS] height
Can some one tell me what this is?

It is a list of things things like giants and cyclopses and such say during adventure mode when they first see you to intimidate you.  They pick a random taunt from those lists based on the race of the person they killed.  That one in particular is for a dwarf.

Its one of the things a lot of folks don't realize can be edited.  You can even add whole new lists as long as you have a civ in the raws that point to it.

Looking through these speech text files (which I didn't even realize were there until I saw this thread) I noticed that the greet_baby.txt has text that appears to be specifically for when a NPC is greeting a baby.  While it's amazing that Toady put in the level of detail to deal with this situation, I'm having a hard time imagining when it could ever come up.  How do you go about adventuring as a baby?

You have crushed my dreams of going adventuring as a baby, and having NPCs coo at me before I bite their legs off.
