Iunnrais posted:Anyone know how to create a necromancer, or vampire, or other such thing in arena mode? Random idea that might work: Make a material that instantly evaporates but can be used for making clothing or armor of. Give it a vampirism syndrome. Make your test subjects (try to) wear vampirecloth. If there isn't some better way to do it

You used to be able to make an arena creature into an undead type by pressing 'u' when creating them, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.

Bad Munki posted:Although therapist isn't working yet, so if that's a problem for you (it sorta is for me) you might want to wait until the weekend. Because of that, I've just been toggling back and forth between adventurers and forts I don't want to manage due to the pain of using DF's labor UI Dang, that is kind of a problem for me too. Guess I'll just wait for that to come out. Glad to hear it's not the buggy mess I expected it to be, though! Mad Pills posted:I have not found any serious bugs yet, but I have a serious children problem now. My fort has a population of 95, and 32 of them are children, is this the point or is it just a bug? I can see the game getting harder if your fortress is full of defenseless little blobs of parental grief, but right now I just see it becoming really annoying to change all their jobs when they come of age. Worst comes to worst, put them in their own burrow and use them as bait for zombies, let zombies kill and eat them all, trap the resultant horde of undead body parts and then use it to fight off goblin sieges. Can undead limbs get caught by cage traps?

Went to a town and found an entrance to the sewer, with lots of winding hallways. Eventually I found some olm man skeletons, but nothing of interest until I found a hatch over. Kolbold and human skeletons and loot scattered all around. Interesting. Looked like it was a bandit den of some sort. I was going to loot and run but a Kolbold stabbed me in the lung.  E: rolled another adventurer, this axeman refuses to join me on my adventure because he's special. He killed TWO giant hamsters.

I embarked in a terrifying biome and there are so many body parts destroying everything. Also my Hammerdorf has risen at least twice I think. I can't tell what's going on because of the eyeball grass movement. Edit: All my ducks came back to life too! Shoehead fucked around with this message at Feb 14, 2012 around 21:57 |

After reading the first few pages, I think I'm gonna sit on the new version for a week or two, so things like DT and Phoebus can update. Hopefully by then Toady will have fixed the world gen problem? Plus, I've already got a couple of abandoned fortresses under my belt in my 31.25 world, and I don't really feel like giving it up right now.

Vucar LockGold appears to be a self-obsessed dwarven necromancer. The first one hopelessly meanders, the second one meanders somewhat and skips around alot, and the third has it's moments of cleverness. I now leave you with a  picture

Iunnrais posted:Anyone know how to create a necromancer, or vampire, or other such thing in arena mode? In vanilla they are randomly generated and not part of the raws so you can't get them in the arena. However Toady included examples in the interaction examples folder you can plop into the raws and play around with. Just drag the file into the objects folder and you can put an effect on a unit when creating it with 'u'. Werewolves don't work right since the example uses a placeholder WEREBEAST instead of the actual creature to turn into. Interestingly you can make anything into an interaction user. I just had a horse kick a dwarf to death and then reanimate his corpse. fake edit: Phoebus is updated it of course lacks anything for the new features and it spits a ton of errors about undead into your log but I haven't seen any problems yet.

Yeah, the gemology update was mentioned in the release notes. I like how you can decorate stuff with pretty polished pebbles now, it makes the randomly generated trade goods seem much less like a game of material mad-libs.

AXE COP posted:Does stuff you butcher come back to life? The skin seems to. One of the many undead bits my dwarfs were slaughtered by when I embarked in a terrifying jungle was the skin of a dog that had died and been butchered. Another highlight was my militia captain's foot being cut off by a mantis man hand that was crawling around. Undead giant insects and insect men are nasty, it seemed like their chitin just kept rising over and over. ProfessorGroove fucked around with this message at Feb 14, 2012 around 22:28 |

I found that too short of a history led to no books being written. Like they don't get around to it until a little later on or something. e: They show up under "Artifacts" in legends mode. Bad Munki fucked around with this message at Feb 14, 2012 around 22:38 |

In case anyone's wondering (like I was), you can enter grates/floor hatches and the like by pressing ctrl-5 while standing on them.

Got ambushed by a group of bandits and their kennel of dingos while me and my companion were camping out along the road. My companion bites it fairly early into the battle and I end up getting mortally wounded by a Lasher. I manage to crawl away before getting pegged in the gut with a silver bolt by a Crossbowman I couldn't see. With my last dying breath I yank the silver bolt from my gut, heat it in the nearby campfire, and throw it with all my might at the incoming Lasher. He silently falls to the ground next to me with the sizzling silver bolt embedded in his skull. I promptly suffocate to death and accept my seat in Valhalla.

It's not crashing, it's toady being toady. The number of events in world history has increased by about two million per century and the game is keeping track of every last instance of 'urist beardwrangler fought his own severed left big left toenail (left) in the year 12' The first world I've tried to generate has been going for something like eight hours now, I started at about five pm and it's gone eleven now.

Laser Spider posted:Okay, so on my second adventurer I made it to the city and found a dungeon under the keep. As I went deeper into the dungeon, I started finding rooms with piles of old clothing and other equipment. I also found a room with a few (dead, thankfully) skeletons sitting around. What happens if I take some of the stuff in the dungeon? Does it piss off the skeletons or perhaps make the townspeople angry? Nothing happened with the skeleton. I left town and started heading down the road a bit, then got attacked and slaughtered by a bandit. Those guys are loving brutal this version. I then went in legends mode and looked up the former owner of the skeleton I took. Apparently he also got killed by a local bandit. No clue what his skeleton was doing chilling out in the dungeon, but whatever. Bad Munki posted:In adventurer mode, my sword got lodged in a goblin's lung. How do I yank it free so I can finish killing him? You can use I (that's a capital I) to do a special interaction with an item in your inventory. In this case, you can interact with a weapon stuck in a creature to pull it out.
