I'm having what appears to be a bug with non-fort dwarves labeled as "Trader" standing motionless on the edge of my map.  At first there was just one, but every once in a while, a new one shows up in the same spot. 

There are three now. 

Just standing there. 

Staring at me. 

Forever.

This is actually a DF bug.  Sorry, but I can't help with that.

I don't know if you've already fixed this, but you need to update your entity files with the new hammerer and the shapes of cut gems.

I have, but thanks for the heads up.  Sometimes I overlook things like that.

I'm loading up a test build of 0.15d tonight, which will fix a handful of issues left over in 0.15c.  Provided that all goes well, I should have a new version up by tomorrow.  Here's the changelog as of right now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Added missing token for allowing mithril strands to be woven into cloth. 
-Prayers of the armor and weapon apprentices at the temple of fire now require a ceremonial urn (which is not consumed).
-Ceremonial urns can be made from two silver bars at the temple component foundry. 
-Fixed an issue causing specific brew reactions to kick out generic "drinks" instead of the alcohol they were supposed to. 
-Restored missing unlock reaction to the lustrum energy extractor. 
-Fixed an issue causing orichalcum precision tools not to be available at magma-powered alchemy labs. 
-Requirements and products for the greater ritual of sustinence have been changed - it now requires ash instead of a live creature, and can produce fireproof backpacks. 
-Cooldown for emberlight warriors' fireballs has been substantially reduced. 
Percentage chance for emberlight warrior transformation from the appropriate reaction has been increased. 
-Fixed an issue causing every caste of zinger to bleed acid instead of just the corrosive ones. 
-As originally intended, emberlight warriors are now immune to fire, while regular dwarves are not (UGH, most irritating bug ever). 
-High priests have been changed: dwarves must now be blessed servants of an old god before they can hold that position. 
-Removed the cap on the number of high priests.
-Added an "optional components" folder to both the raw-only and pre-packaged release, which will include LFR-SC and Sphalerite's revised c_variation file (pending permission).
-LFR-SC will be taken down from DFFD after this release, since it will be packaged with this and all future versions.

Will it be dangerous to perform the prayers for armor and weapon? It would suck to lose migrant high master weaponsmiths and armorsmiths...

Nope.  Prayers don't ever have negative consequences - they are free, low-yield reactions.  It's rituals and ceremonies you need to watch out for.  The prayers at the temple of fire have a low chance of training weapon and armor smithing skills.  If you don't have a good weapon or armor smith and you on't have a million copper lying around to train someone with, you can beg Zalkor for help.

Ooh, if new version is up tomorrow I might wait with starting a new one. I was testing out masterwork but your mod felt just a tiny bit better. Looking forward to it! Screw vanilla DF, ¤LFR¤ 3>

The simplified clothing causes dwarves to constantly clean themselves. Over and over and over whenever they step on any contaminant. This causes my soap supplies to run out super fast, thus breaking the healthcare industry for me as well dwarves being inefficient for they constantly clean themselves instead of working.

[simonthedwarf]

I hope you are kidding, Pan! I was just about to set up my soap production, also I haven't noticed them washing themselves with water more than usual.

[narhiril]

I feel the need to compulsively apologize for just how uncharacteristically buggy v0.15c was.  Maybe not everyone noticed it, but I managed to screw a few things up when moving from the 0.31 entity files to the 0.34 ones, which basically broke the fishing pond entirely, among other things.  Version 0.15d is up, and it should take care a pretty good number of those issues, as well as some minor balance tweaks.  I've got a fort running with 168 dwarves in this version without running into any more issues, so lets cross our fingers.

I tweaked SC to include shoes now, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.  Thanks for the feedback. 

[SalmonGod]

Hmmm.... it's kind of a shame... I had settled down in a location I really liked in .15c... but I'm getting pretty good with Perfect World, now, so I guess that's only a minor setback.  I want SC shoes!

[Pan]

I mentioned the show issue before, but it was mentioned that the shoes will triple the amount of clothing a creature will wear, therefore tripling the FPS drain.

EDIT: But it appears that the fact that only dwarves have shoes will fix that.

Thanks again and again for the new releases that come again and again!

Noticed that the v0.15d changelog says there are readme files for the optional components.  I found a readme in the rare animal mod folder, but not in the simplified clothing folder.

Ah, bugger, you're right, I must have dragged the wrong folder into the zip.  The files all work, but I'll re-upload it correctly for future downloads.

[simonthedwarf]

What are the new optional stuff?

Also I killed some moroi for a sentinel core usable in the alchemy lab, what does this entail?

[simonthedwarf]

Had a crash in my 0.15c fortress. Abandoned it. It seems like I get a lot more crashed in 34.02 than I got in 34.01. Not sure if I want to keep playing before the next update if forts keep crashing.

also what is the world generation parametres LFR_NODEMON?
