The latest ASCII version appears to lack trolls of any sort. 0:

First I wonder how I do stupid crap like that, then I get sad because it took two weeks for even a single person to attempt to download that.

Anyway, I just removed the ASCII download for now. Get the smaller download, put it into the old ASCII one.

[DarthBoogalo]

Aw..
I actually decided to use the smaller download, and combined it with rise of the mushroom kingdom for funsies. Somehow they merged without flaw (that I've seen).

I downloaded the not ASCII version, does that count?

[admiralKew]

Hm. Does anyone know how to make Stonesense work for this? It says it can't load troll_256x256.png before aborting.

[Putnam]

Something must have changed between 0.34.11 and 0.40.01's versions of Stonesense then... yikes, I hate working with graphics, but I may look into this later.

[admiralKew]

Also, it appears that I can't make pig iron from the smelter. Though that could just be me.

[Sergarr]

Why does the graphical version seems to lack the very nice music it had in .34 times?

[Putnam]

It was too big, mostly.

Since I most certainly don't want to deprive people of it, the songs I used were Crystalguitarthemums by Jit in-game and Sburban Prelude by sidewalkbanana in the title screen. Before I switched to those, I used Land of Wind and Shade by Dacen/mixed by silence for in-game and Land of Quartz and Melody by EidolonOrpheus for the title.

You should give trolls a "Flip the bird" interaction with the [NEGATIVE_SOCIAL_PRESSURE], [TORMENT] and [ATTACK] usage hints.

[Putnam]

Hmm. Given the 300 KB of repeated "Unrecognized Counter: Unrecognized Counter:" errors in my errorlog, I'm guessing that COMBATHARDNESS was removed in 0.40.14.

Welp, better get crackin' on the overhaul thing. Unfortunately, that entails removing every single sburb class and replacing it with twelve generic aspect classes ("breath hero", "light hero" etc.), mostly so that I can update Fortbent in the future without suddenly spasming and playing video games instead.

[Liber celi]

Thanks for the hint, I was about to finally play it again! 40.13 works with the current version, yes?

And the Aspect heroes thing makes sense. Not gonna lie, the ridiculous variety of classes was my  favourite, eh, aspect of this mod, but I guess it's hard enough to squeeze 12 unique classes out of DF.

[Putnam]

Probably my favorite, but holy crap is it difficult to develop. Now that finally something's made it kaput, I feel like I have to change it to something more manageable.

No reason it shouldn't work with 0.40.13. Hell, it still technically works with 0.40.15, though with the obvious weirdness associated with no COMBATHARDNESS.

EDIT: The nice thing about making it more manageable as I am now is that the replacement for the old claspects is now 1/4 features complete.

Hell, just for fun, I'll include some silly aspect assigning algorithm. Something like "take relevant traits, add up all of them gone through the function abs(x-50), whichever is highest ends up getting assigned unless there's already a surplus in which case second in line is etc".

[vjmdhzgr]

I read through the thread on the new emotion system in the gameplay questions board, and while I haven't seen it myself (I just haven't played the new version and am too impatient to set up a fort specifically to test combat hardness and then wait the long amount of time it will take for enough bad things to happen) somebody made note of there being a "new thing" at the end of the personality traits that says things like "just doesn't care about anything anymore". Which to me means that combat hardness is still in the game in some way. Whether it's just called something else, needs a completely different mechanism to detect it, or can't be used at all I don't know, but I think it's worth investigating to maybe keep the old system.

[Putnam]

If it is not accessible through COUNTER_TRIGGER, I cannot use it.
