I tried leaving one blank, the one for not seeing the target, and I think it failed, but, test.

I've just tested a load of capybaras together to see if volcalization is at all related to their being several or such...

I have no idea.

All I know is, skeletal capybaras click. And I was clicking at the skeletal one. There were no other noises until I added a lot more un undead ones.


And, Toady forgot to add 'a' in front of them. So you get 'You hear click'.

Further tests still show no obvious differences between the 2...

Well, on Linux, there is a strings command that I've used. It seems there is such a program for other operation systems as well.

I've just used strings + grep and it seems PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT and ALERT are the only options for SOUND tag.

Relevant snippet below:

Code: [Select]

calrogman@panther libs % strings Dwarf_Fortress | grep PEACEFUL -A 5 -B 5 -i -m 1
SHRINE
WILDERNESS_LOCATION
Unrecognized Lair Token:
HAS_DOORS
ALERT
PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT
VOCALIZATION
VESSEL
MILITARY_UNIT
GRIND_BONE_MEAL
COOK_BLOOD

Oh well. We can hope for future improvements... and continue with the science!

I just set humans up to chat to eachother... problem is... if you leave out your speech, it doesn't run. If we put space, you repeatedly get 'You  .'
I can't even make it so that people say 'Hello' when you walk within a few tiles of them, because your enemies will say hello too. ¬¬

Wouldn't the peaceful tag stop enemies from talking around you? i'd have thought the main problem would be that they would say hello repeatedly.

EDIT:

What happens if you put 'NONE' in personal speech?

ALERT sounds work in combat if the frequency value is low enough. Looks like the idea of combat sounds is possible after all.

Does this work in fortress mode to? Or is it restricted to adventurer mode?

Read your signature.

I said it.

I will report back.

[EmperorJon]

No.

I think that is a good thing though as there would be so many messages.
