It seems you can't just dump half of a pony creature and half of a dwarf creature together and not crash world generation.


... I wonder what that foul abomination would look like? Oh wait, I know! Its called a Draconequine. :D

That, or some freakish pony-centaur. I think we need Goat-dwarf hybrids.

On is hairy, eats everything in sight, and is rather stupid, while the other makes the perfect pets.

It's more or less the idea of ponifing the standard dwarf.

Basically a pony with all the attributes and stuff of a dwarf.

I think I went wrong when I replaced the hair colors and lengths of the pony with the standards of the dwarf.

Or using the entity file of the dwarf simply won't work on a pony creature (I did change the creature link in it.)

Other then this I would not know what went wrong.

Its a caste in the Cave civ. Has tusks, a drinking problem, and bonuses to varying fields associated with the earth, such as mineing. Big boys, too. Not realy "dwarf" ponies, just a pony with a vaugly similer skill-set.

We need chocolate.

Can cocoa plants be modded in, so ponies can start making chocolate? The cocoa could be processed into two different chocolates: a "soft chocolate" for cooking/eating, and a "hard chocolate" (chocolate blocks?) for building/crafting materials. I can already see peeps making chocolate statues, chocolate fortresses and chocolate drowning chambers (arguably the most delicious death a pony can have).

For Nidokoenig, I've noticed something in the "body_pony.txt" file.

Under the tag [BODY:PONY_MOUTH] you have a [BP:MOUTHL:mouth:STP] tag.

Notice the "MOUTHL" part, it has an "L" in it that I don't understand, is this a spelling mistake or does it serve a purpose?

I can't find anything on it in the wiki which lists only the [MOUTH] tag with no information at all.

Aww, my lickle pony.

Chocolate, mocambo and copoasu ents are planned, to have a decent selection from the Theobroma family, much like how I have so funking many citrus ents and plan to add platains and ensetes once I've worked the kinks out of the banana code. My plan was a whole clusterfudge of milk, dark, white, brewed and all that sort of business. I suppose making chocolate boulders with a reaction would be interesting, and it'd make crafting all the easier.

For Nidoking, I've noticed something in the "body_pony.txt" file.

Odd, that part should read:

Code: [Select]
[BODY:PONY_MOUTH_LEFT]
[BP:MOUTHL:mouth:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][MOUTH][GRASP][LEFT][SMALL][EMBEDDED][APERTURE][CATEGORY:MOUTH]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:20]

[BODY:PONY_MOUTH_RIGHT]
[BP:MOUTHR:mouth:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][MOUTH][GRASP][RIGHT][SMALL][EMBEDDED][APERTURE][CATEGORY:MOUTH]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:20]

This is to address a chirality issue with manufactured grasper wear. The L and R are only there to differentiate the two so that it doesn't have two body parts with the exact same ID, the actual tag is arbitrary. Probably being over paranoid.

You mean draltha ponies. Gorlaks are small, have two grasping tusks and do various fiddly jobs that require finesse. Oddly enough, Dralthas are the largest non-noble cast.



Ah, I'm eight minutes in to Ult1mara's first new video, how long is it going to take him to realise rainbownies don't consider gremlins food because they're sentient? This is why I don't tend to watch other people's forts, Dorf Fort is torture for backseat drivers, it's so complex there's bound to be something the player doesn't know that the viewer's going to be freaking out over.

Ah, right, sorry it was just me being an idiot again.

*sigh* Modding is painfully slow business man, how do you do it?

EDIT: Ult1mara's video's are rather boring for my taste but he did find some very early caves. Could be quite fun.

 I cooked a test world for dream valley ponies, checking legends I have a Smooze nicknamed "the accidental fog" whose initial lair was "wandermurk, the messianic sewers."  forgot to assign spheres to the things, so sheer luck I got something vaugely appropriate.

Painfully slowly. I just have an affinity for turtling, I'm perfectly happy doing something dull and repetitive over and over if i know it's going to explode into candy and rainbows eventually.

 I might finally make a Youtube account for that. By the way, you mentioned in the video that you were wondering when to expect trouble, just thought you should know that you shouldn't have any major problems until you get to around 80 ponies, if I remember who your neighbours are correctly.
 By the way, there's no tag to make animals into vegetablists, so ponies are quite happy eating meat. Especially horse meat glazed with unicorn butter, if my current cave pony fort is anything to go by. I will be adding speech tags to various animals like cows, pigs and what not, so they'll starve like your gremlins were about to if they don't have access to food and drink, though water is sufficient for drinking. I'm increasing the value of their milk and wool to compensate, and pigs producing truffles, and adding fodder and silage to feed them fairly cheaply.

IT'S WORKING!!

Don't be scared, I've only just converted 100% dorf into pony form, it's beautiful I tell you, BEAUTIFUL!

Though I see they might still need some tinkering, they arn't perfect yet.

But at least I'm playing them as I'm writing this, they work, they actually work!!
