I worded that kind of badly. I'll try again.

Will you be updating again before the next Dwarf Fortress update?

[Putnam]

Yeah, more than likely. Polish and whatnot. Besides, I feel I missed some creatures in my great gristening.

[Asra]

Not sure if I just put them in wrong or what, but the graphics pack isn't working for 3.0 yet right?

Let me be totally honest: I have no idea how to creature graphics. Time to learn.

EDIT: make sure you've enabled the graphics in the init. Note that there is a lot of redundancy in there due to intervening updates, though. 3.1 will fix some of that.

[Asra]

Ah that's fine.

The new version doesn't seem to work with the Eagle0600 troll graphics so it's probably just something with the designations in the init files or something.

EDIT: It's working now so I guess the mod still works! It was probably just something with the raws I guess.

[Putnam]

Oy. The wiki has nothing on creature graphics.

[Asra]

Oh wow, my trolls just had triplets. Also as for the Mother Grub, since they're all female and Imperial Drones all seem to be male... is there some connection there? Earlier there was something said about having a special caste of mother grub that could actually make trolls, would it be better to just import a lot of mother grubs to get that to work?

EDIT: Nice custom music.

Double Edit: Nevermind just got some!

[Putnam]

The credits for the music are in the OP. The song is "land of wind and shade".

3.1 will have graphics included (you'll have to supply your own tileset) and custom fort mode messages.

Here is a link, where you can get it. For free, too.
In case you needed it.

Awesome, I also just found out that Mothergrub's trolls react exactly like you'd expect from a bunch of naked adult trolls standing around. IE: A bunch of berserk nudists. Next time I'll have to have some clothes prepared!

By the way, is the reason they become adults to handle the problem with young trolls starving to death and dying?

[Putnam]

No, it's just an annoying oddity involved with the hoopsy method I used to have mothergrubs work.

In semi-related news, updated to 3.1.

edit: search code violation, beep beep, fixing

[Putnam]

Updated to 3.2. It should now not be a pain to play.

[Asra]

Is there some way to get trolls born from the mother grub to put on clothes? I thought about enlisting them into the military but they weren't applicable for it.

The amenity grist reaction for clothes was built specifically because this was an issue. They can't enlist in the military until they earn a name.

It's kind of annoying how they're born as adults.

In other news, I decided to play a fort on 3.2 for a while. I found that psychic trolls have fractal bodies and that trolls can somehow give birth. I called it a miracle at first, but then every female troll in the fort gave birth to twins or triplets within 8 months of each other. That shouldn't happen.

[Asra]

Really? I saw something like that happening where a troll had triplets, but she showed up married. Were the trolls unmarried too? Also what do you mean by fractal bodies? Like multi-parted everything?
