So Iados are u ever gonna give us an already installed version of this mod or are we gonna have to put the files in ourselves each time?

[threes4luck]

So I was doing a bit of digging in the item_weapon_wyvern folder and I noticed something funny about the ammo for the bowguns:

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_SHOTS]
   [NAME:shot:shots]
   [CLASS:SHOT]
   [SIZE:50]

Now here is the bolt for the vanilla crossbow:
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS]
[NAME:bolt:bolts]
[CLASS:BOLT]
[SIZE:150]
[ATTACK:EDGE:2:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]

And a bullet from the gunpowder mod:
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BULLET]
[NAME:gunstone:gunstones]
[CLASS:BULLET]
[SIZE:25]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:5:5000:pierce:pierces:NO_SUB:7500]

I took it upon myself to give it a quick fix until Iados gets around to it. I don't play monster hunter but I took a look at some pictures and the bowguns are SIGNIFICANTLY larger than your average crossbow so I upped the ammo size, velocity, and piercing.

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_SHOTS]
[NAME:shot:shots]
[CLASS:SHOT]
[SIZE:50]
[ATTACK:EDGE:8:3000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:3000]

You really just need the last line. Just copy it into your raw folder and if you don't feel like starting a new world go into data\save\region and you'll find your worlds own personal raw folder.
I've also been thinking about modding gunlances so they actually shoot with the gunpowder mod. Make them into a swiss army knife of sorts.

Whoops forgot to change the actual size.

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_SHOTS]
   [NAME:shot:shots]
   [CLASS:SHOT]
   [SIZE:300]
        [ATTACK:EDGE:8:3000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:3000]

They're about the size of short swords now (overkill?).

[kisame12794]

No kill like Overkill.

Has anyone noticed a lack of Remombra's in their world?

I seem to find them in large numbers around evil areas but nowhere else.

Is there a way to disable the Dwarf Fortress Creatures of the world and have it just be 100% monster hunter? I don't mind the dwarves and humans but... I'd like the rest of the stuff to go.

[SirAaronIII]

The only way is to delete all creature files except creature_standard.txt. I think that might be !!FUN!!.

[Wwolin]

I am having an issue with the butchers shop getting cluttered whenever I try to butcher a monster hunter creature. Also, why are all velocidromes legendary miners? One thing that may be a bug is that the Great Jaggi can use wrestling moves with deadly efficiency, but i kind of like it that way. Finally, Shen Gaoren tend to die of old age after 10 years, which makes them extremely rare.

Anyways, I absolutely love this mod.

1. That's a vanilla bug where the skin, bones, and other parts take up the same amount of space as the creture would itself. Keep in mind EACH BODY PART takes up the whole creature's size, so basically, lots and lots of clutter. At least that's how I remember it working...
2. It's for castes having different graphics. Like how your military dwarves get a new symbol (the filled in dwarf happy face is actually a whole different symbol) at legendary levels, other animals get different graphics.
3. May or may not be intended. No clue here.
4. If it really bothers you, just go into the raws and change their max age to something something ridiculously high. Again, I don't really know about this one as I've never experienced it myself.

Does anyone know why the addition of the 'More Creatures' segment would crash my game? It runs fine without it, but when I copy those extra files in the game does not start.

It just happens with some mods sometimes. Try using a shorter world generation, if you can.

Checked this in the new version to see what would need to be converted.  So far, all I'm seeing is a few missing/name-changed body plans and of course the interaction changes obsoleting the old firebreath/dragonfire tags.

I could probably patch it up, but I don't want to do so unless I can contact Iados and get his permission.  I could post instructions when I'm done converting it myself, though, if there's still interest in this mod.

[SirAaronIII]

Iados hasn't been active since June, so.. I'd say go ahead.

I do appoligise for bumping a "Dead mod" so far, but I, as well as probably several others, would love to potentially see this updated to the latest version of Dwarf Fortress, if someone felt up to it, I myself don't have much if any modding knoledge for the game though to do so my self
