I think at this point, I'm just going to package what I've got and hope that the underground stuff works.  Expect something new in the next few days.

The force event script does not work on layer linked (or thieving) civs, so you cant test it that way, but they should show up in legends. Have you checked legends viewer for the grum?

They do show up in legends.  I just have never actually seen them show up in fortress mode.

Hoping everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving!

I'll have a release ready to go later today.  The last thing I'm doing is reworking the deep wolf graphics (because the current ones suck and they bother me).  PREPARE YOURSELVES!

Here's the old graphic, blown up.  Looks... recognizable, at least, but when zoomed out, it looks very lanky and very awkwardly posed.  This was one of the first graphics I did, so I guess that's to be expected.



Here's the new one.  Smaller, more in tune with the creature size, and with a better pose and proportions.  I also did a child graphic, so those deep wolf pups will actually be distinguishable now.  Background is transparent in game.


As we somehow managed to have a four-way tie for the poll, I guess I've got four projects to work on next.

Egads, or will you be combining them?  A mythical, technological, secretive plague?

Plaguing secrets about technological myths?

Update is live, here are the short-version patch notes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Upgraded to DFHack 0.34.11 r4. 
-Integrated itemsyndrome plugin. 
-Added mythical weapons. 
-Added racial weapon bonuses. 
-Added the Grum. 
-Dwarves now manufacture "runic defenders" instead of regular shields. 
-Added a few dozen new dwarven names. 
-Fixed an issue preventing shedim sieges from the caverns from working properly.  I think.  I hope they work now.
-Added three new runesmithing reactions and associated materials. 
-Added vanguard weapons caches. 
-Added some new easter eggs. 
-Fixed some bugs - mostly obscure bugs that no one except me really noticed or cared about anyway, except for the following... 
-Fixed a bug with ammunition engraving - you will now get the full amount of ammunition engraved.  Will still behave strangely with bone ammunition, but not much I can do about that.
-Fixed a bug preventing the efficient caster from unlocking if using a magma-powered alchemy lab.  Oversight on my part.
-Fixed a bug preventing "attempt to commune with Visthel" from ever succeeding.    Missing product lines FTL.
-Reduced the number of reagents for second-tier bayonet crossbow upgrades.  Dwarves were falling asleep mid-reaction and it was annoying.
-Various polish tweaks that I don't remember.  Check the changelog if you want more details.

A secret plague of mythical technology? 

Be careful what you wish for.

Awesome!  I'm so torn now about whether or not to abandon my current fort...

[greycat]

Woo, congratulations!

[Morhem]

I dont know if its fixed already, but shedim sometimes bring animals... fight with them, and leave.

Also:

"Half-eaten Corpse Child has died of old age."

This thing REALLY freaked me out. I think I had a bad dream becouse of it.

That's supposed to happen . It's the Shedim Intimidation Combat Effectiveness Tactic (They get a buff from eating something on the field.), though sometimes they decide not to spoil the intimidating effect of devouring things outside your base by actually attacking.

Possible bug with the new release:  the game crashes every time I try to export map/gen info from legends.

The new update is too great for your computer to fully comprehend. You must see it through the fog of play to prevent your going blind with the unlimited secrets.

This is not something I've been able to replicate.  If you don't mind, could you upload one of the worlds that is doing this so I may take a look?

[Putnam]

Likely to be an issue with a DFHack plugin (E.G workflow) that uses hist figures to store persistent info specific to worlds.
