If I remember correctly, rock chains are just metal chains, because DF considers metal to be a rock. Similarly, rock bars are just regular bars.

That is correct.

Thanks, that did it for me.

Eh, is this mod dead or just plays possum? I would like to know if there is any chances of update coming in the future, or i'm filthy necroposter.

I still play. Narhiril just hasn't worked on it in a while.

Likely waiting to dig into DF2014.

Good to know i'm not the only one to play LFR.

Most likely, but i had to ask anyway. Thread just looked... deserted.

Hope so, I love all the added gameplay.

Can you make the Shedim playable in adventure mode?

[SalmonGod]

Hey narharil... any plans for DF2014?  Now that dfhack is out, I'm getting curious... and it's hard for me to enjoy DF without your mod.  You've spoiled me

You could attempt to convert the mod, since narhiril hasn't posted since april. The things that are needed are:
-Adding gaits to everything
-Attack speed for weapons and creatures
-Smell and odors (optional, but nice)
-Changing HUMANOID, QUADRUPED, etc to HUMANOID_NECK, QUADRUPED_NECK, etc as well as adding necks to custom bodies
-Adding CANNOT_JUMP and CANNOT_CLIMB (as well as STANCE_CLIMBER) to the creatures that need that
-Changing (or just deleting) the old personalities to match the new ones
-Entity values
-Converting custom plants to the new format

EDIT: Forgot some stuff

I think she had some deeper stuff than that going on, with more recent versions of the mod.  She was starting to integrate DFHack into core mod features and stuff.  Way beyond my level.

Instead of updating LFR, I think I'd rather properly learn to make something of my own.  Given how large and integrated LFR is, the amount of effort would probably be comparable.  I'm already writing up some plans and reading up on the raw language.  I may or may not dive in and actually do it.

It'll probably be less effort to make your own, heh.

The dfhack stuff will probably need barely any touching on your part. Merely integrating the new dfhack and checking for any plugins not available for the new dfhack.

That said, you are clearly more intrested in making something of your own, so that's alright. I may do a updated version for this, as I quite like this mod and think it's a shame people are locked out of it due to version change, while trying to do as minimal changes as possible to narhiril's stuff so people can play while she doesn't come back. Not unlike what putnam did with my own mod when it came to 0.31 -> 0.34 conversion.

That's what I was guessing, but not knowledgeable enough to say for certain.  But the larger factor is that so long as I'm putting in a large amount of effort, I may as well make it my own.
