So... arent all your reactions in reaction_brew_lfr overflowing when you use a barrel and 4-5 plants? I had a problem with this in my mod, had to change the reactions to take either only pots or 2 barrels... Check your workshop, my guess is that 20-25 units of drink are created outside of the barrel, and remain untouchable in the workshop. You can clean it by deconstruction, but no one can drink it.

A question about a strange mood armor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My armor smith just made a... glistening voidshard strength field barrier pack! I looked at what this is in the raws, and from that I am guessing that this thing is obscenely good armor. Am I right or am I just interpreting the raws wrong?

Gosh, how would that even be worn?  Like a backpack?  That almost sounds like some sort of ammo for a special type of projectile weapon!

The idea is that it's worn like a backpack and projects a protective field around the wearer.  Due to technical limitations, it really only covers the chest area, but it can be worn over any other armor.

To my knowledge, I haven't seen this before.  I'll have to double check to see if its working properly.

Just had another Shedim seige show up.  They fought each other, and a number of Shedim units killed each other, causing the seige to break.  They were all from the same civilization as far as I could tell.  I'm uncertain if Shedim fighting each other is a bug or not, which is why I'm posting this.

And for a modest surprise about the Shedim, read the spoiler.

Narhiril, that was rather nasty making them amphibious.   I have an outer moat ring, and was taken aback when they crossed it with ease after I retracted the bridges there.  Makes me glad I have a raising drawbride at my entrance.

All right. Now, I officially give up. I have edited graphics out of my init.txt, I have dropped the alternative raws folder where it belongs, I even tried to delete the entire graphics folder. Yet no matter what I try, I get this:

*SNIP*

So, is there some crucial step I missed in the process, or it's a feature of uninstalling tilesets? (yes, I have little to none experience with tilesets).

Just gonna drop this here...

Please let me know if you run into any issues.

The file item_armor_lfr_simple.txt is present in Ironhand but not in ASCII.

Or... at least, it's present in my fortress's raw directory, and in the extracted Ironhand directory.  I seem to have misplaced the original Ironhand 0.20a archive.  Anyway, copying that into my data/save/region1/raw/objects/ directory made it work.  And it looks much nicer now.

Looks like I forgot to package the optional components with that one.  I spent so much time on the art that I forgot to include all of the essentials...  Derp.  Fixing it now. 

EDIT: Fixed.  New downloads will now include the optional components and manual files as intended.

do you accept suggestions?
If you do, here's mine.
Make a wall trap where you can choose what direction it pushes
eg.
+ = Floor             v = Pressure plate
. = empty space
ll = normal wall      T = Trap wall

++++ v
. . . . +ll
. . . . +T
. . . . +T
. . . . +T

(sorry in advance because I dont know anything about modding so, I dont know if you can do this)

[sackhead]

i think tou meen like a piston
unfortunately moving blocks are impossible

[Ashenblaze]

It doesnt have to moving object like a piston, it could be something like...something that generates some sort of matter (for example, air)
that pushes objects and or living things to a direction.

In the example in my previous post, let's move the traps 1 tile more inside the wall.

Walls= []

++++ v
. . . . +[][][]            (just changed the walls so it's easier to understand...somewhat)
. . . . ++T[]]
. . . . v[][][]
. . . . ++T[]]
. . . . v[][][]

The traps (assuming its the air generating one) are now positioned to direct the air to the left.

The traps should have a pause between each push and does not tolerate citizens.
The push should be strong enough to push goblins away but weak enough that it cant push big things like minotaurs.

I don't know modding very well, but in vanilla there's definitely no way to cause a creature to move in a desired direction with any kind of predictability.  You can approximate it, though -- retract a retracting bridge, and the creature will move downward (maybe).  Introduce flowing water, and the creature may move in the direction the water is flowing.  None of these are 100% reliable.

For your design, I would think that pumping a bunch of water would be a reasonable approach:

Code: [Select]

########
+++++++###
......+ <- water <-
......+###
......+ <- water <-
......+###
######+#


[Putnam]

Yeah, nothing you are saying is remotely possible, yeah.

Well, the only way to get someone moving against his will in certain direction is bridge-a-pult (at lest as far as I know).
