He means that the idea was to make the modded reactions actual new reactions as opposed to rewriting old ones such as the nickel silver making one.

[Mego]

Oh, that makes a lot more sense to me. I suppose I could add in the reactions as new reactions and regen, if that would work better. However, I think keeping things as close to how they previously were in Battlefailed would be preferable, with only the blood bricks and possible caste mods being new.

Yeah... Thanks for unborking my brain.

Yes it would be preferable, but adding new reactions rather than replacing normal ones so that in the off chance anyone EVER wants nickel silver or whatever else we can produce that without fiddling with the raws is far better.

[Mego]

Although I still like the idea of the mods being carried over being identical to those already in place, I'm not opposed to making new reactions instead of replacements.

[CatalystParadox]

Maybe even stick in 2 or 3 useless placeholder reactions in case there's a need to mod something brilliant we didn't think of at the outset in later?

[Eric Blank]

That's rather ingenious actually. Just a few tags that ensure they're valid, if useless, and adding them to the dwarves' civ definition should do the trick. Hmm... Can the workshop they're performed at be changed on the fly (well, save and exit, then mod, and reload...) or does this for whatever reason cause problems to the game's poor little mind? I doubt it would cause issues, at least.

Hell, one could actually create a few extra materials, tissues, and inorganics entries for participant/viewer approved re-writes. Although that may well be going too far...

P.S, CURSE YOU "E" KEY! CURSE YOU!

[Teneb]

If I remember right the nickel silver turned bone block reaction was transfered to the kiln from the smelter.



I'll be doing a new video-tour of failcannon, as I scraped the previous one since I was coughing all the time due to a throat infection and my voice wasn't very good due to that.

Small Update:

From an engraving near the main gate:

Andreus has finished sabotaging modifying on the building and placing the appropriate levers. I also had him re-route the north gate to one of the two orthoclase levers near it and the trap modification to the other one


It also appears Gizogin has grown attached to his crossbow


EDIT:

Spoiler: I just found this (click to show/hide)

"a warthog the warthog
a horse the horse"

Bravo, game.

From an engraving near the main gate:

Oh shit, oh shit.

The ghost of boozedwarf just scared dariush to death. We need to get him back in his grave, and quick

[Gizogin]

I'm growing attached to my crossbow!  All is well!

[Teneb]

all mining has been finished, all in corpse hauling duty. Especially since we have TWO murderous ghosts

[Eric Blank]

The dorfs don't seem all that interested in reburying the dead for me while I run the game further either. Blasted prioritization system.

Spoiler: Also, I got an "upgrade" today. (click to show/hide)

good news: I got my new motherboard, CPU, and that now-ancient yet -supposedly- still superior video card today. Dwarf fortress is up to 4 times faster! My 5x5 embark with 86 dwarves, some number of resident humans, a huge river with a huge waterfall, and at least one cyclops ambush going on at once is running at 85-93 fps! It was at ~25 before!

Bad news; the drivers and windows were being dicks and it took ~8 hours to get the fucking thing working again, and even now the video driver isn't being accepted by any of my games. Dwarf fortress/firefox is about the best I can do. As if that wasn't enough, I have some annoying SOB artifacts on my screen; 5 evenly spaced sets of vertical red lines at something like 20-40% opacity. And I don't have as high a screen resolution anymore. The best I can get is 1200-700 or something similar. This setup was an ambush!

I thank my father for it all as I am completely worthless when it comes to dealing with the hardware or drivers...

[Strategia]

At this rate, it looks like my turn won't come up for at least another month or so..... which is very good, since I plan (hope) to buy a new, beefier computer in november or december, which will be good for FPS.


And Dariush does seem to be the butt monkey of the fortress, sorta, doesn't he?

[ThatAussieGuy]

Well his avatar IS a dwarf running around on fire.
