Is the intention to make the custom workshops their own 3-tile by 3-tile image instead of 9 1-tile images arranged in a 3x3 grid? If so then that's pretty great.
That's probably not actually technically possible but it sounds like making them into 9 unique tiles would work.

If nothing else they still need to be tiles for when something is obscuring a square.

Oh, sure; that would be fine. What I mean is that instead of a workshop consisting of a couple of barrel tiles, a clothing tile, etc., it instead consists of 9 tiles of its own thing. Is that possible? If so then you basically have a 9-tile image even if each of the 9 tiles are only 1/9-th of the image.

Oh, yes. That's very much a thing. I think it should be a working feature right now, but I never got around to figuring the markup system out.

Actually, Meph demonstrated it himself by chopping up the Goblin Alchemist building sprite from Warcraft 2 into 9 slices and then assembling them into an in-game workshop.

You can create your own performance troupes now and get people to travel around with you as entertainers. Potential troupe-mates need to be into the arts or partying, though the magnitudes of those interests don't need to be as high if you have an artistic reputation (and you can get some of that reputation immediately by performing for them). You can kick people out of the band, of course -- I suppose it might come up in practice if a member ends up being predisposed to bar fighting. I was able to collect some peasants from my first village as a demi-god poet by impressing people from house to house with my recitals. The RNG came up with "the Ace Bees" for my first troupe name (you can also pick it yourself), but it was a short and sad tale, unfortunately, since I had to kick everybody out of the troupe to test it.

Insert your own Beatles break-up / night troll kidnapping joke here.

32x32 Gemset is fuckin great. Mifki's work is mindblowing between TWbT and the multiple level viewing. I'm glad tilesets are coming out that take advantage.

This looks really good, too.

I want to combine that and Gemset because Gemset has great creature/animal/plant sprites but there's basically no workshops or walls/floors done.

I wonder how your bard buddies will react when your first public performance is in a bandit camp, and the instruments are swords to the face. Will they fight or will they give me Bardsong buffs?

I believe that's the case with Phobeus. There's a plugin that gives every item its own tile on the ground. Same with workshops.

I don't think they're the only cause of extra lag in the new version, though. There's something that accumulates as fortresses age, besides the usual suspects. (More animals and dwarves, which can be eliminated by running microforts, and mud/blood/contamination, which can be eliminated by periodically running a cleaning script.)

How does anyone manage to quest in Adventure Mode? I can't manage to navigate worth a drat and directions to quests generally consist of 'it's a few day in THAT direction', so whenever I make an adventurer it's basically time to aimlessly wander the wilderness, because there's not a chance in hell I'm finding my way back to this random hamlet after killing a titan.

Mission Status

:smugdog: It seems that your generosity knows no bounds. You obviously see the promise of our project, and know that we take our time to keep the promises we make. All good things come to those who wait, and you have been extremely patient. We have to be sure that everything is perfect, or at least capable of producing some amusing bugs we can quickly stomp on.

Congratulations to the generous!

Fun with Numbers

:frogc00l: Thanks to everybody that helped out! It looks like things have shifted between our services a great deal -- the PayPal numbers were at their lowest since 2010 and we still managed to have a very good month. Now we just have to see what happens when there's finally a release under this new system. We still have a lot to clean up. I expect to be switching between modes several times this month to make sure everything is playing nicely together. We also have to finish the last adventure mode promise for the release, which involves being able to make a living in some way as a performer. There isn't much in the way of a sensible economy, of course, so we won't need to or be able to spend a lot of time on this, but there'll be something there.

There's also a new FotF dump. I found this bit interesting:

quote:

Q: How are the outcomes of world gen battles resolved? I've sometimes seen severely outnumbered armies win the battle despite losing three quarters of their warriors and their leader, with the enemy leader still alive and their casualties moderate. I also think that the leader's skills matter.

A: It's sort of tragic the way it pairs things piece by piece -- skill matters a lot and can lead to unrealistic scenarios when non-hf groups get chewed up like dynasty warriors, 10 at a time. We wanted to fit a more final system into the overall army rewrite, with lines and terrain and that sort of thing, but we haven't done that rewrite yet, so the cruddy system has remained in place for years.
