Awww poo poo y'all it's motherfuckin' horse time  Toady posted:Riding the 'H' horsies around is fun. Mount the horse, dismount the horse or jump from the horse, lead the horse like a merchant (through doors so it doesn't get trapped on one side, because the horse can't open doors on its own.) Use horses and other pack animals to carry the extra weight, packing items on to the animals, friendly and functional critters. All of that seems to be working correctly.

bug #1 of new version: coming out of fast travel while riding a steed with your party spawns you atop a random party member instead

He's talked about mounts before, in the vague terms he uses about wanting to do boats, but still figuring out how to do multi-tile pieces of the map that can move independently from the rest of the map. Welcome to Dwarf Fortress. Wagons are pack animals. Everyone in your starting party has the brain of a horse. If that's too much to think about, look at this chair six times.

That's kind of an exciting development. It's going to be fun figuring that out; I look forward to engineering weird scenarios like creating intelligent flying vampirable mounts and just letting Armok take the wheel, or figuring out the fastest possible mount in order to make jousting blenders. Obviously getting emu and ostrich cavalry going will be a top priority if/when this makes it to fortress-level play.

Hopefully it will only be a few edits to the raws to go from mounts to stacking mounts to three dogs in a trenchcoat.

"I went with a command system that transfers your intention into the mount's head when you press a movement key" is the most Dwarf Fortress way of implementing mounted movement.

Can't wait until dwarves end up with a riding skill to correctly impart their intention to their mount, while mounts end up with a being ridden skill to correctly interpret their rider's intention.

Tenebrais posted:"I went with a command system that transfers your intention into the mount's head when you press a movement key" is the most Dwarf Fortress way of implementing mounted movement. Not only this, but in the FotF thread, he clarifies that implementing it this way means that it is currently impossible to mount and ride any undead creature, including undead horses. Because they don't have souls. So your commands have nothing into which to enter.

Nosfereefer posted:I ran across this; Adventurers never stop crying. That was explained by Toady once right? In like the most nitemarishly  explanation ever.It popped up during a personality rewrite a few years ago. Basically if I remember correctly, an adventurer still has their basic desires and interests and personality just like any other person in Dwarf Fortress, but they being directly possessed and manipulated by an outside force (the player). They're still fully aware of their surroundings and actions but have no ability to control them. So they're a passive witness to all the horror the player unleashes, and most of the time it leads to uncontrollable sobbing.

I have a hard time believing Dwarf Fortress is only twelve years old and hasn't been in development since the dawn of video games. Haven't played since DF2012; did they ever fix healthcare, military, crossbow bolts hitting with the mass of a telephone pole, etc? I started on 40d and loved it, and I really liked the improvements of post-2012 developments, but the dozen or so added systems never worked well enough for me to get the hang of 'em.

The most egregious hospital poo poo got worked out during that arc, yeah. Crossbows make more sense now too, that's a whole story about what caused the problem (bolt mass was not contained as a floating point but a rounded down integer, so anything lighter than precious metals would have a mass of zero and thus fly at Mach gently caress and shatter breastplates like bullets). Military is just as clunky as ever. There's been so much new stuff, though. Our current flavor of the season is off-site shittery like sending off raids.
