Would you be able to make blindfold, so we can blind or not some given dwarves? This would be a modified helmet obviously... And the applications are numerous!

No, unfortunately.  I'm toying with the idea of a NOFEAR civilian caste to operate siege equipment, but I haven't yet tested it in game.

Ok, so what about potions lasting a while?

What is the current status, train of thoughts of Narhiril about allowing some potions to restore limbs etc. ?

This is an interesting idea that I'll need some time to work out.  In the meantime, try breaching the caverns and magma sea and seeing what pops up.  LFR actually got its first "potion" alcohol in the most recent update. 

Spoiler: If you really need to know... (click to show/hide)

Anisette (from white anise, which starts to grow when you breach the magma sea) grants a brief hex immunity.  Right now, this only blocks shedim discordant and ah kiral weakening effects, but it will have its function expanded on later.

"Wind's gift" and "earth's blood" from the prayers at the Temple of the Twins grant a permanent immunity to certain diseases.  Obviously, since those diseases don't yet exist, this isn't very important, but it will be in the future.

I'm putting up a new version.  This fixes the bug with bronze spiders and reworks (complete with documentation) the tier two alchemical advancement reaction, as well as making a few very minor balance changes.

As always, please report any issues you may find.  It is unlikely that I will get much done in the way of new content this weekend (you'll have to forgive me, it's almost entirely this thing's fault), but I will be monitoring things and responding to posts as much as possible, and if any glaring issues come up with this new release, I'll be sure to fix those as soon as possible.

Not a gameplay bug, but I have noticed that the graphics for the meowkin caravan guards seem to be offset by a few pixels so they get cut off on the right and a random arm appears on the left. I've learnt to ignore it, but I thought I should share. Also, oddly, my meowkin emissary always seems to be a meowkin child but I don't think that's a bug as much as just how the game does things.

I'm also just starting my exploration in to shrines and temples. I'm quite glad I'm sitting on a huge chunk of galena now. More silver for the silver gods! Or something like that.

Thanks guys, I think I found the issue here.  When I added the graphic for intermediaries, the canvas got skewed from 16 pixels high to 17.  The game is skewing the image to fit within the bounds it was given in the graphics file (16x16).

Change this in graphics_lfr_custom.txt for a temporary fix...

Code: [Select]

[TILE_PAGE:MEOWKIN]
[FILE:lfr_meowkin.png]
[TILE_DIM:16:16]
[PAGE_DIM:16:1]

...to...

Code: [Select]


[TILE_PAGE:MEOWKIN]
[FILE:lfr_meowkin.png]
[TILE_DIM:16:17]
[PAGE_DIM:16:1]


Let me know if that fixes the issue.  No new world is required for this change to take effect.

Well, what he makes up for the lack of DF modding knowledge, he certainly overcommits in enthusiasm. Maybe you should read up some modding guides and the like, azrael.

[Jeoshua]

Wow Az.  Show some focus.  None of that stuff even seems like it might fit into the game in any real, tangible way...

Except Acid Rain.  That could be done and probably should be done.  Just the !!FUN!! kind tho.

He's an ELF! Burn him, before he contaminates the children with his environmental awareness!

BAN who ever said that! ... admin: why?
because he assaulted me with COMEDY! oh the DWARFMANITY!

 thx for making my day

After reading azrael300's list, a question popped up in my mind. What is your stance on gunpowder and primitive guns, narhiril? Right now, Dwarves are pretty mechanically advanced (springs, moving parts, mechanical armour even), so, guns wouldn't be too farfetched. And it would seem to be a loud, smelly, smokey yet Dwarven counter to the Voidwalkers projectile cannons. To my eyes at least. But then again, I always imagine Dwarves to be short, dour and stocky fellows, clad in masterwork armour, who grumble in their beards as they take aim at a rushing throng of grobbi and then release a thundering salvo of gunpowder-propelled oversized musket balls.

Glorious. I am thinking of fricking Warhammer here, except it's the heavily armored warriors of Khorne with the big ass guns.

Although bullets don't tend to take a limb off. They just blast you full of holes. Not even shotguns shoot arms off. Void projectors can.

By the way, Narhiril, what did you think of my suggestions for the paragon temples to allow a dwarf a new body? Veterans with voidwalkers and bog trolls always have motor nerves severed, or limbs chopped off. I like my veterans for storyline purposes. Just make the reaction expensive. Actually, I don't know why the ritual reactions are all so cheap right now. If turning a normal man takes an aluminum bar and some cyrstals, or some iron bars and fuel, then I'd imagine the entire world to be ritual dwarves. I, for one, find emberlight costs merely makes them all the more real, and it controls me from turning just about everyone into an emberlight. But author and popular opinion comes first, of course.

[azrael300]

By primitive. well primitive guns i mean guns that take 10 mins and literaly body breaking work.You might explode in the end or get set on fire. those 2 are unlikely but. put to much gunpowder then you get a exploding flintlock then you may have a piece in your major artry in your leg (seen on 1000 ways to die.) or in your eye your  blind or you just have blown out ears that start to bleed from the sound....

[wyrdness]

I made the changes to my files and now the meowkin emissary isn't a child anymore, but the caravan guards are still cut off in the middle for some reason. At least the lads/ maidens/ traders seem to look fine. Not that it really matters to me, I'm a crochety old dwarf lord and I tend to keep my doors shut against sieges and caravans alike.

[azrael300]

What if the united states teleported to this unknown realm and even its space satellites came with them.that realm is this mod.who would win the united states with there nukes or the voidwalkers with there void energy projectors?Think witch one can destroy the human race in this world more than 1 or 2 times over, about 50% of the worlds nukes or all the voidwalkers void energy projectors?... oh and i think the satellites would have spoted there towns and citys and etc in some amount of time .
