I have absolutely lucked out with my most recent adventurer by spawning in the middle of a wicked mist cloud and immediately becoming a wicked mist thrall. I then proceeded to wander from town to town, repeatedly biting people and wrestling with them long enough to transfer some of my eerie soot coating to them. Unfortunately creatures who were hostile to me before becoming thralls still were hostile, but they were easily distracted by their former neighbors.

The other most important fact from the Q&As is that ghosts can feel emotions but cannot cry due to their lack of eyes. Man, there's going to be some weird opportunities for modding. We can rid our forts of the emotionally unstable by replacing dwarf tears with lethal acid! PublicOpinion fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Apr 1, 2014 |

If you look around the houses in a town you'll almost always find a bag full of berries. The people don't actually care if you take these, so stock up.

Tonight, on Tales of Bug Fixing:Toady One posted:The highlight of the last few bug-fixer sessions was definitely yesterday, when the king of my dwarves appointed a visiting merchant's yak as the general of the army while I was trading. I was working at the time on liaison issues -- the long-standing bug that fired the liaison when they left the map is handled, so you should get the same one every time now if something tragic doesn't happen to them, and I reconfirmed that if something bad does happen, you do get a new one. I guess I just need to make sure the new liaison doesn't end up being a work animal sometimes, which appears to be considered an option.

I tried it out in adventure mode and after eating three berries, waiting an hour, and repeating through 102 stolen berries the test character was still "thin" at the end of it. I might have to try it again with eating animal products since they're heavier but I'm going to guess it isn't remotely worth the effort.

SALT CURES HAM posted:I highly doubt it. I was mostly joking, and also trying to inflict the curse of hope on some of the rest of y'all. Honestly though I would've been more pessimistic a year ago. It seems more likely for the "adding new poo poo" phase to go on forever as opposed to the bug fixing phase. Well, some programmers might be stuck in the bug fixing phase forever, but Toady's "good enough for release" is pretty permissive.

Eh, it was 11 months from the last release when the first iteration of the current version came out. Just about a two year gap between 0.28.181.40d and 0.31.01 too.

So the monthly report was just late and not late in an especially indicative way, but it did bring good news:Three Toe posted:The time has come! We are planning to release the next version of Dwarf Fortress in the beginning of next month.[...] Toady One posted:Unlike my March 2013 prediction, this one is more ironclad, so look forward to it! I was hoping to get the game together before the two-year anniversary on the 4th of this month, but I only managed to wipe out a little over two-thirds of the list in May, so we're just going to wind things up properly now, with a bit of a cushion but also a deadline. Sorry to those expecting it this week![...]

I remember when Toady made friendly traders activate traps. That was a fun time, as everyone's layers of steel disks mulched the next band of humans to wander through. Much better than the 'dwarves sleep forever' bug, which made it completely unplayable.

Scrree posted:Boogeymen are some serious poo poo in this game, also, no matter now much I eat and drink my hunger/thirst meter never go away, whats up with that? I always just generate worlds without boogeymen. Had a bit of an ED-209 moment: a wandering miscreant punched my traveling companion unconscious after a bit of "Yield!"-"No, YOU yield!" and then alternated between telling him to hand over his shield and beating him in the skull. After my buddy succumbed to his injuries, it was suddenly Too Real for the bandits and the fragility of life led to them wandering off.

Threw a series of adventurers at some bleak creatures to try and wipe out their lair. One of them killed the current adventurer but not before suffering serious leg injuries. When I tracked it with the next adventurer, it had left not just an imprint of its head in the dirt but individual eye prints. Night creatures don't seem to have the aversion to violence that everyone else has, as at least this family seems to instantly shoot to "No Quarter" mode as soon as I show up. e: as the wounded but surviving adventurer drags themselves back to town to brag, they've left not just glove and coat prints but ear and tooth prints.

Another body part to update if any of your creatures use it is to change BASIC_HEAD to BASIC_HEAD_NECK. Have any of the string dumps got a complete list of the new personality tokens? I put together my own list just by copying all the personality entries from creature_standard but I don't know if that's all of them. The 'value' entity tokens seem to have at least some obvious effects. A custom civ with [VALUE:COMMERCE:30] (30 being the highest value in vanilla, don't know if it's useful to put it any higher) occasionally greets each other with "Make any good deals lately?"

Internet Kraken posted:Jesus christ gaits are confusing as hell. Has anyone figured out exactly how they work? Toady's explanation in the raw files doesn't explain much. Here's what I got out of the explanation in c_variation_default: Argument 1: Basic speed Arg 2: Fast speed, and the speed that Faster and Fastest start at Arg 3: Faster speed, needs 5 tiles(?) to reach max Arg 4: Fastest speed, needs 10 tiles(?) to reach max Arg 5: Slower speed Arg 6: Slowest speed Top 3 speeds are slowed by being stealthy, being fat, or being muscular, but are also increased by Strength and Agility. Fast uses 5 energy, Faster 10, and Fastest 50, whatever those correlate to. So the 4th argument governs top speed, which I take as meaning 8775 is 1 kph, 878 is 10 kph, and 100 is 87 kph which is definitely not linear. With the old [SPEED] gone, I guess speed of attack/work is governed completely by attributes and skill? PublicOpinion fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jul 11, 2014 |

Internet Kraken posted:I can't figure out what the !ARG parts of the gait are supposed to be. According to the example Toady left it is supposed to represent top speed but I have no clue how. I mean how am I supposed to now how fast 10 is without any point of reference. The sprint number/top speed doesn't fit any good curve, so I'm not sure how they're derived. For my monsters I just copied them from the vanilla creature that it most closely resembled as a start.

I haven't gotten it to go without crashing long enough to do it myself, but since you can retire/unretire forts, you could probably take your adventurer to a retired fort, retire the adventurer, unretire the fort and play until your adventurer is where you want, then presumably retire the fort and unretire the adventurer.

People were saying that even sieges were bizarrely non-combative. I reclaimed a world-gen fort and had a siege show up in the first summer, and while one of the attackers did get a bit freaked out when the leader murdered the livestock the gobs had no problem running the dwarves to ground and murdering them.

Tiler Kiwi posted:- Found a ruined temple where the worlds only hill titan was last seen. Once I got there, a bunch of stuff fell over. I found the titan, and the titan's head a good distance away. Somewhat anticlimatic. I'm two for two on titan shrines having a big collapse as soon as I get there, though both of them survived their respective housing crises mostly unscathed. One of those titans was a giant earthworm with wings, and boy howdy did that thing take a beating. When a giant thing only has three body parts I guess those body parts are also really drat huge, and the silver axe I had could barely pierce the skin. The one that was an icy humanoid was much easier to kill by repeatedly striking its icy neck after breaking off one of its feet.

In fort mode I think the only things that might be messed up with a tileset would be the trees. In adventure mode there's a bunch of new display elements that might be all weird if the tileset replaces flasks, cages, stairs, or some other things I can't remember off the top of my head.
