It should be there unless you're working from old raws. Did the tileset include raw files, or did it only affect the Data folder? That would probably break it if it's not up to date.

You know I think it might have. I'm using spacefox and I think it changed the font along with a few other things possibly. How would I go about re-updating my raws without breaking my save? Would I just copy and paste from a fresh download or do I need to avoid messing with some things?

Be careful, if the Goblin Lasher so much as farts, your population will plummet due to a loyalty cascade.

Taverns are great until you realise how stupid they are in terms of all the deadly fights and vampiric visitors it lets in. I hope you enjoy the wonderment whilst it lasts.

I haven't actually had any loyalty cascades yet but yeah there are definitely lethal fights that explode. I just killed about 5 humans in my tavern, one of which was a lady consort. Hope the human civ doesn't mind!

I had a human lady consort come to my fort and demand to join to military rather than just sit around eating and drinking all day. She is terrified of everything and her status screen is filled with thoughts of her being horrified of seeing everything from goblins to crundles getting killed.

She should eventually harden up to that, though, right? Or no?

I'm curious how old that world is? Toady has stated that at some point these discoveries will actually unlock associated technologies, and a technology related to knowing what ores are seems rather important.

The safest thing is to copy and paste the Raw>Objects folder from a fresh download, though it will then break some of the tileset graphics (so you might see grates in the walls or what have you).
Alternatively, you could go into that folder and copy everything except the inorganic_* files (but do copy inorganic_other; just leave the rest), so you'll keep any of the reconfiguring of the rock images. None of the normal rocks and dirts got changed in the last update, just the derivatives in inorganic_other.

Hmm, now it crashes as soon as I load in after copying the new raws over. Is there any specific raw file I can paste in there that deals only with bookcases? Like everything else related to libraries seems to be in, I just need the furniture piece. Just dumping the new raws seems to break something and I can't really tell what.

Tenebrais
Sep 2, 2011

It'll be in item_tools. Bear in mind though you'll need to generate a new world for the new raws to take effect. You could even just copy the bookcase entry and paste into the new one, it's near the bottom.

So I tried a thing.

[horrible teleprompter noises]


But add a little substitution magic and



Bing! A few line breaks, a new line for when the thing is the best or worst at something complete with some color magic and a bit of rewording that I'd say makes reading the first bit hurt my head less.

So how, then? Like this:
|Written on the item is |[B]It contains |
|The written portion consists of |[B]The text itself is |
|The work has a single chapter. |[B]The work has a single chapter. |
|The work has |[B]The work has |


See the [B]? That makes the text prompt punch Return twice, making that gap after the first sentence. [P] is for just one press. The second one is used for codices, while the first one is more for scrolls and such.

|Overall, the prose is amateurish at best|[B]The prose [C:4:0:0]evokes no emotions[C:7:0:0] save for pity towards its author|

[C:x:y:z] is for text painting. It uses the same color tokens as the building raws - foreground, background and "brighter foreground color? y/n". 7:0:0 dark gray is the basic default.

| entitled | named "|
|, authored by |" by |
| page |-page |


I get long-winded when I'm excited, but Toady usually leaves enough room to make things tighter. See where you could stick color tokens to make the book's title stand out? There's a trap, that second line isn't used when the book has no known author. If you want to do so, you'd have to stick "back to dark gray" tokens in front of all the different variants of "It concerns huhglhglhglahg" to be sure.

Well gently caress, and right as DFHack kicks in gear. I suppose the mapping of the new structures is still gained ground, though.

e: Giant elephants confirmed something like 8x the size of standard elephants. At 40 metric tons or so each, think of them as real burly humpback whales. Walking around.

Yeah. There's a way to enable trade agreements with them so you can request gorillas but I have no idea how to do it anymore :)

Also requires the elf civ in question to have access to gorillas in the first place of course. Could get unlucky with how the biomes work out.

You could always catch some. They show up fairly regularly in tropical moist broadleaf forests, aka the best biome (durian wine!). They also show up in swamps, where you can also find tigers (also trainable!) and saltwater crocodiles (can't be war trained, but can be tamed, and they produce 20-70 eggs per clutch, AND you can put them in a moat!).

Can anyone recommend some good offline resources for the game? I've got a long WiFi-less flight ahead of me and I haven't messed with the game since Taverns were added and I'm not sure how they work into the flow of a fortress. I've also never nailed down getting a military to work with any sense of reliability, so any infographics on that would be appreciated.

Huh, got a petition from someone to join the fort whose name does not appear to appear in the Other units list. Did a vampire just sign their real name on the Petition to my mayor, because that's pretty great.

edit: Nope, I'm dumb. It was a useless Bard that I let in previously for the purpose of hanging out in my tavern and drinking, only now he wishes to lend his fisherman skills.
