No, reveal by default doesn't release HFS with the newer DFHacks unless you tell it to.

And when you tell it to, it won't let you unpause, so you can't release it anyway.

Moar pony-genning!

Seems every single pony has narrow ears, two different conflicting descriptions for hair & differing wing colors? 

[Pokon]

...@#%&!

 Oh well, at least I can be the Genki girl of the group.  Or at least fabulous.

[Vandala]

Oh my, nice job Zarhon.

Don't know what your on about Pokon, you look great.

PS: DFHack works like a dream! Thanks guys.

Yep, I ran into that when I started illustrating my ponies for Dawnpick.  Apparently it's a problem with genetic bottlenecks in Dwarf Fortress during worldgen or something.

My ponies pretty much come in six varieties: male and female unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies respectively.  Almost all are the same within their caste, except for the occasional variation in hair variation or color.  I just went with it until it got annoying and decided to just change the colors for a few ponies.  In particular, I didn't want my military pony having hair striped in six different colors.

I've noticed something in the mod.

Ponies still have the tag [SPEECH:dwarf.txt]

According to the wiki it relates to "Boasting speeches relating to killing this creature."

The related "dwarf.txt" (located under "data/speech/") has stuff in it that is weird for ponies. Things like:

"who tunneled away from me like a frightened mole"

We need better killing taunts for ponies! (anyone got any good idea's?)

EDIT: apparently you can make this stuff gender specific if you want.

EDIT: Here's some idea's.

for pony
who sang her last song
whose laughter and giggles no longer annoy me
who ran from me like a frightened foal
who should have bucked more trees before the fight

for pegasi
who should have stayed in the clouds when the real pegasi came down to fight
who I made into cupcakes
whose cupcakes tasted great

for unicorn
whose horn will be put to good use
whose horn is now mine

EDIT: some more.

for all
whose cutiemark will adorn my dress
whose cutiemark I will add to my collection
whose cutiemark has bin added to my collection
whose flank was as bare as a foal's
whose flank was bare

[Dsarker]

Yeah, why not. I could work up something, I guess.

In particular, I didn't want my military pony having hair striped in six different colors. 

My mind cannot fathom that statement. In the forts I've gone through, every pony that showed up to my fort with military skill (Be they part of the original seven, or had they shown up in a migration) all had a fuckton of hair colors. I've started considering it a sign of a fighter and a warrior. The more colors in your hair, the more of a fighter you are! Makes sense in reference to the show, at least, what with Twilight being a powerful magician and only having two stripes, but Rainbow Dash being rather aggressive and having a ton. But of course, that's just me trying to put logic to PONIES and DWARF FORTRESS, as my mind is already having trouble comprehending everything.

That is like, 20 % cooler then what I would have made 
Thanks!

Dsarker, would you mind looking at the Dinos again? There seems to be something wrong with the new bodies that will cause Arena to crash. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

[Dsarker]

I'll put all the relevant files in a zip and put it on the file depot. Would you mind copying and pasting your errorlog.txt into the thread/pming it to me?

[Vandala]

Question: Is all you need to run a new creature/civilization the files "body_...", "creature_..." and "entity_..." or am I missing something?

I'm trying this but it's not working for me.

Its not even a errorlog: the game crashes when you introduce them!

Yeah. Just be ceritant they can farm and have owrkshops and stuff, and your good to go.

[Vandala]

Ah, thanks Pokon, at least now I'm sure I fucked up.

But I guess that happens when one tries to make a new breed of pony without knowing what one is doing.

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

That's to bad, my perverse hybrids will have to wait for now.
