a fair point buddy. Meph likes helping out modders. if i knew how to help you with the graphics i would but have you considered asking Meph for help? he is a very nice and helpful guy and the creator of dwarf fortress masterwork.

Meph is a busy man. He's got his mod and spends most of his time traveling on a bike across the world. He's got enough on his plate, and I won't bother him with that.

[Putnam]

And there are plenty other graphics artists around here.

[mcolombe]

yeah MY BAD. i just saw a message saying that he is cycling in japan. i hope he is having a good time.

[Meph]

Of course not. Silly people.

I'm also not that great with artistry, but if you guys head over to a pixel-artist themed forum I'm sure you'll find some help. There are not that many graphics people on bay12, sadly.

Slapping on a tileset or two to this mod would be easy enough though. Only the creatures would need handmade sprites.

Ah i just noticed that is asci graphics. I have no wish to be a pain or annoying. i don't suppose you would be up for installing Phoebus or ironhand graphics, into the prepackaged download of your mod. I used to play vanilla dwarf fortress a lot with the original graphics when i first played it four years but i guess i have been spoilt useing other graphic types in mods and so forth. just a suggestion, cheers.

The problem is that all content made by me would still be in ASCII. And I have zero graphical skills, so that won't be resolving itself any time soon either. Unless someone feels like doing the graphics, it's just not happening.

If you make a list of creatures which need sprites, I can help out. Also you can borrow anything from my old Dwemer Fortress mod.

Thanks for the offer. I'll eventually send a list to you with screenshots or descriptions. I'm still planning on making a few specific creatures for good biomes, but that's got to wait until I get a test done.

Deon is also another helpful guy. WELL DONE, Deon.

Deon is the reason I started modding.

[mcolombe]

that is quite a cool fact. considering masterwork is a very cool mod indeed.

Deon is the reason half this board started modding.

EDIT: I'm scrapping the diseases idea. It is just terribly clumsy and annoying.

[mcolombe]

fair play. all i am going to say is. HAIL DEON.

Hello *poke poke* Is this thread still alive? Teneb, have you discontinued this mod?

I have not discontinued it. I am just working on other stuff. Other than some incomplete features, the mod works quite well and doesn't need any maintenance until the next DF version rolls along.

Awesome, thank you for the quick response, I now realize how stupidly I phrased my question, I should have known that this mod is pretty much feature complete and "discontinuing" sounds like a stupid term to use in this context, I think I might give it another shot now, see how it's changed. I stopped playing for a while when you were dishing out updates willy-nilly (not that I´m complaining, I love good active developement) but now that it's slowed down a bit I'll be able to have some fun with one fort rather than having to start again every time an update is released.

I've just realized that I as well started modding because of Deon. Interesting.
