Well, I don't have rainbow ponies, diometes ponies, and cave ponies set up, so if you picked one of those civs that would happen.  If you pick the griffon Civ, there won't be any differentiation, same with zebra.  The only race with full sprites is just the standard pony civ so make sure you choose one on embark if you want sprites.

That would be it, thanks! Right now it randomly chooses my race to seems, how would I specifically choose a race?

Someone was working on Fallout Equestria mod, I am not sure if they have released it or not... Search for it .

My fallout mod is called "Wasteland" and it's for 40d, but you can find Putnam's patch to DF2010 (and I'm almost done with the new version which will be for the new DF version which is around the corner).

you seem to have forgotten that your wasteland mod is actually for DF2010, just a version before eggs/milk/beekeeping >_>

it's in the embark screen, if you tab though the various views, one of them is a list of civs to embark from. You'll either need to scout out the history ahead of time to get the name, or tab though to the Neighboring races screen, where your home civ is always listed first.

You are right, it's been a while . I forgot that I've released an update for... 0.31.19?

On that note, Nido if you have anything that you need to be done and would like me to do, feel free to ask.  I will warn you though, while I am a quick learner, you have seen the extent of my DF modding experience. Before I came your mod last Monday and decided I couldn't play without sprites, I hadn't touched DF modding.

 Most stuff I'm planning for the next version is somewhere between halfway done and ready for testing, so handing bits and bobs over for finishing would take longer to explain than to just finish. One thing I'm planning but haven't started is animal zebras, lions and buffalo. So if you like, you could convert some of the creatures from creature_pony_animal.txt and creature_zzz_pony_animal_vanilla.txt into zebra variants. Mostly it'll just be changing the creature ID, name, description. The hardest part is setting up converting the hair colour to a striped pattern for zebras, which can be a bit fiddly. Give it a go, if worst comes to worst it'll be quicker for me to fix what's probably a minor thing than to do it from scratch myself.

 The other thing I'd really like to crowdsource is naming cocktails for when I expand boozemaking(a long-term plan, not for the next version), since ponies just drinking beers doesn't sit right, they need fancy drinks. I'll be adding things like brandy from wine, whiskey from beer, port, sherry, vermouth and liqueurs, plus tonic water from certain trees, so most ingredients will be covered. Basically I need pony-appropriate names for various drink mixtures, like moonshine+sunshine brandy=midnight sun sherry, rock nut liqueur+milk+vodka=White Dwarven(Actually, dwarf references are being scrubbed, but you get the idea). I'll post a bit more on the general plan later. I might limit brandies, ports and sherries to the Traditional version, since it's a little much for Simplified, and add the full selection of amber/rosé wines and cocktails in Ornate.

I just noticed a small bug. It's really no big deal, but I figured I'd point it out to you anyways. In entity_pony, all your nobles do not have their first letter of their title capitalized, which is in contrast to the rest of the professions. I didn't check the other entity files though, so I can't speak for them. I just noticed it a minute ago while playing.

They're consistent with vanilla DF raws. I've wondered about that before, too.

Here is my first review for the mod after my initial fort. Hope u all are happy with the results, they arent the best sorry Nido

MY LITTLE FORTRESS MOD BY NIDOKOENIG

I really do not think that this mod was all that difficult. The mod is more or less of the same difficulty as the vanilla DF. It may be more difficult the further into the years u go however I didnt get past 2 years.

I can say one thing however playing this mod made me want to watch My Little Pony series . And I did lol. But if you do not watch My Little Pont or dont really have any connection to it then this mod really isnt for you.

What does this mod offer the average dwarf fortress player? Well it offers another way of playing the game, well u get to play it as Ponies instead of dwarves. There is also a very decent caste system in this mod. I LOVE caste systems hahahaha but yeah there are quite a few castes in this mod. And there are a few civilizations with seperate castes as well making it more in-depth

I think I did find a few bugs in the game but none that were game breaking that I remember. Only some that are either pre-programmed into Dwarf Fortress itself or rendering fat problems.

Lastly the community on the My Little Pony thread. Well what can I say? It is probably one of the most active mods atm with 3 or 4 modders trying to increase the mod itself consistently with some very dedicated followers trying to help out what they can. So there is always activity on the thread and someone is always willing to reply and help anyone with problems.


FIRST FORT REVIEW RATINGS

Originality   - 8/10 - This is a very original mod as it is based on a TV series - a cartoon series at that ^_^. The first mod that I have seen as of yet do this. Well defo the first mod I have reviewed
Difficulty   - 4/10 - Well this mod really isnt difficult at all. Get a spider pony and ur set. Put them in the military and kill everything u can while all ur other ponies do all the other work. Well thats how I found it anyways.
Bugs      - 8/10 - I didnt really see any game breaking bugs in the first 2 years. I did see a lot of "rendering fat" bugs and errors but that was more or less it.
Playablility   - 5/10 - Overal the playability is less of other mods I have played. I probably wont play this mod very often again. Maybe a couple other times but much rather play Corrosion mod, Sorry Nido.
Graphics   - 7/10 - Well the graphics so far are almost perfected, well as much as other graphic packs - like mayday - is. The only thing that is missing is graphics for the main civilizations, however this is being rectified as we speak by a modder named TechnoJack
Overal      - 6/10 - In general the mod is good. But not as good as other mods I have played sorry Nido. BUT if u do LOVE MLP and are a Brony then this mod is DEFINATELY the mod for you.

Cool. Playability and the mod generally making sense are hopefully going to be addressed by the guides. By the way, your ponies dying of thirst without water was odd. Were they military ponies? My ponies booze up all the time, maybe you didn't set the military to drink booze? PONY_SPLIT_ROOT spam is related to carrots, celery and star stalks, they're split into roots and leaves/stalks automatically. So presumably your farmers are growing them, or you claimed some from those caravans you slaughtered and the job is getting cancelled once they run out of them.




Wow, loads of people fighting over getting to make a tileset. Makes me a little self-conscious, I'm one of those weirdos who can "see the Matrix" and has real trouble parsing tilesets. I mean, I can tell a d from b from a w easily, but I find I can't tell wee pictures of dogs, badgers and wolves apart too easily. Eh, I'm just weird.

[Tecknojock]

I'll give it a try this weekend.

Just a quick note about those language files I posted, not all words are actually defined. I haven't noticed any ill effects yet, but let me know if any crop up.  Right now it looks like DF just ignores words with no translations.

[Ult1mara]

Thank you nido ^_^ hopefully next time I LP this mod I wont have all my ponies die but am sure not ALL of them were in the military, yet they still died of thirst :S o well am sure it was just a weird thing that just fd up some how? Sometimes these things happen and there aint nothing ppl can do

[Drago55577]

where is the latest version ?

[Tecknojock]

On the front page. 1.72 isn't out yet.

[drilltooth]

where is the latest version ?

first post of the thread has the latest offical release, but I think aobut half of us have our own little tweaks.

[Nidokoenig]

 The download page on dffd will always have the latest version. I tend to make sure I don't go adding a new version too quickly after a release, outside of fixing immediate issues, and that means planning a fair few things to add, so I end up planning and half-starting far too much and then it's three months later and I'm making hog badgers lay truffles in nest boxes. I should be uploading the badger mod later this evening. It includes normal and giant variants of various new badgers and honey badgers, some real, some made up. It doesn't include badger men or ponies and it should work with or without MLF.

 On the topic of badger ponies, I've just realised that the much-beloved honey badger ponies and the rest shouldn't be ponies at all, they're tropical creatures, so they should be zebras.

 I mentioned a few pages ago that there was a problem with rainbow jays, with them not showing up as blue, green, etc jays because castes and thus caste colours/descriptions weren't being displayed. I tried them without the vermin tag and castes show up. I've also had an idea for how to solve the problem with rainbow jay pegasi. If I make the main tiles and description of rainbow jays match, say, the blue jay, but leave it with the usual castes, it'll still show up as a blue jay, but the rainbow jay pegs will take the data and use the caste settings properly. Then I can make new creatures for the other rainbow jay variants.

I'll give it a try this weekend.

Thanks. I had noticed that some words, like the Russian word for ale, weren't translated. After the next version is out, I'll fill in the gaps manually and put them in for the version after next.

[Tecknojock]

Most of the missing ones are not there all together because the way I wrote the script made it deleted the  untranslated words, so I'll have to play with the script if you want me to append the missing ones to the end. I don't know how ale slipped through.
