Noticed that after embarking, it still says "A new chapter of dwarven history begins...."

As a kobold, this mod is easily my favorite mod :3

@CrimsonSun: What kind of armor are they equipped with? Type and material, if you could.

@CrimsonSun

Discord media links are highly temporal and yours has timed out already; if you're trying to document the issue I'd recommend alternate hosting.

I still seem to have some of kobolds that are missing sprites. This usually happens when I armor some of them up for my military.

@Fesdifos: Thank you! :3

@Dingus: Thanks for reporting that! That's a bug that occurs if a creature is too small, it makes them untargetable. Giving a look at the kobolds, it looks like I accidentally made babies have no mass until they are 1 year old. Oops...

Hey I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you still working on this. I've been using it since I picked the game up, and I don't think I can ever play without it at this point. Great work and thanks again!

Alright so hatchlings appear to have some kind of property where they are immune to damage? One has been dancing around an undead spearman that wiped out my entire fortress and the combat log states "The attack passes right through!"

No issues so far but I am only on my second year. Will let you know if I notice anything. Love the child sprites they're so small and adorable.

Woohoo! The new sprites look so cute!

The update is out! Let me know if there are any issues! Old saves are still compatible, but as always, a new world is needed for graphical updates for whatever reason.

@Phoenix: They're perfectly happy with just water! There are also no plans for any extra features, unfortunately. I'm not sure what I could add that's within the scope of this mod (a mostly vanilla experience) and is possible within DF. Although with Lua modding, there's probably more you can do now, but I haven't looked into it.

Do Kobolds still have mental breakdowns if they don't drink booze? Also, are there any plans for kobold-unique equipment/buildings? Something like...I don't know, a buildable hearth furniture for a kobold-themed social zone that replaces a tavern or temple, maybe?

@Dingus: I'm not sure! I'll have to give it a test before release. Prior experience for me has been you'd need a new world for updated graphics, but I'm not sure if that's different now.

Awesome news! Do you know if this will require generating new worlds?

The next update will be out on Sunday, at the latest! It depends on my work schedule, but it's close to done now. It features a fix to the weapons and clothing sprites, updated clothing sprites, and tile sprites for kobold babies and children. Portraits for babies and children will come in a later update.

Hi! I have no ETA on the next update, but I've started working on it. I have to reorganize/recolor the clothing sprites, so I'm doing some resprites on them while I'm at it. Also, the baby and child sprites will come with this update (though not their portraits; those will come in a later update).

upon further investigation, disabling the dyed option makes the sprites no longer naked! theyre always clothed in their portraits, but not the sprites if it's dyed

@Marlon: Uh oh... I'll look into that as soon as I can!

It seems like the latest update with dyed clothes has made all kobolds naked!

For when you get around to it there's a minor typo:

*** Error(s) found in the file "data/installed_mods/intros_kobolds (18)/graphics/graphics_kobold_portrait.txt"
Tile page token not recognized: INTROBOLD_PORTRAIT_BODYe

@intro that's totally understandable. Thanks for the response and I hope you have a good time regardless of what you're doing.

@Dingus: I'm sorry to say that there's no ETA yet. I've had a lot of false starts on making an update over the past few months (or even fixing the weapon sprites), but the energy hasn't been there. I'm sure I'll get to it at some point, probably when I'm next in a Dwarf Fortress mood, but I'm not sure when that'll be.

Hi I was just curious if there's any kind of updated eta for when you can update this? Not wanting to be rude or anything just wondering. I'd contribute/help if I was more modding savvy

Хуета

@Dom I also struggled with this yesterday, but I found that you can go to the workshop-folder in steamapps (I think that's where it was), find it in the folder with Dwarf Fortress' steam ID as its name, and manually copy it over into the mods-folder.

You then get a new button when creating a new world that lets you add mods to it.

Is this mod currently broken? When I subscribe Steam says it's downloading but when I look in the mods folder nothing appears, and it's not appearing in the mod list?

@Otter: They do indeed age faster, and have more children, although they are more gay. They're also slightly smaller than dwarves, have different stats (high agility and creativity, less strength and focus), and have scales instead of skin. There might be other differences, since I used vanilla kobolds as a base, but I didn't change much else.

Do you have a list of what makes them different than dwarves? I noticed their maturity age is lower and they have more children

@rousyrunt44: You want to open "creature_kobold.txt" in the mod files and Ctrl-F for "CASTE:FEMALE". Under [CASTE:FEMALE] and [CASTE:MALE], there are ORIENTATION tokens. If you erase the lines with ORIENTATION, they should go to the default orientation of preferring opposite sex partners.

Sure, I could use some instructions. Its actually been a looooong time since Ive messed with the game files lol

@Maximus: Having more mechanics with temperature is on my DF feature wishlist. Unfortunately, creatures generally ignore temp unless it's hot enough to melt their flesh, IIRC, so there isn't much I can add in that department.

@Marker: I'm not really sure what's up with that, to be honest! I've seen people mention that it's because tissues aren't set up correctly, but all kobolds would be invincible if that were the case. I gave it a test and kobold babies were very much not invincible! Could've been a one-off bug or something?

@rousyrunt44: I can't add extra options without making it a pain or uploading a separate mod. Creature orientation is pretty simple to tweak on your own, though. I can give you instructions if you like!

Could there be an option to make the kobolds have less gay and bi relationships? (basically make them similar to dwarves in that regard.) Im not offended by that stuff or anything, Im moreso curious if it would lead to a koboldsplosion of population like what can happen with cats.

Are the kobold babies invincible? My fort got overrun by undead, and they ended up endlessly attacking them with their attacks "passing through" them until they eventually died of thirst.

i kind of wish there were extra challenges with playing kobolds instead of dwarves, like right now I don't really see a point in playing dwarf fortress with no dwarves. some mechanics like having to build unique hearth structures to stave off the cold because kobolds can't handle cold on account of them being reptiles would be cool...

@Th232r: I can't say for certain, but my longer kobold forts haven't had a shortage of children. The kobolds may be gayer but they also tend to have more children. Twins and triples are common iirc

@Rhaas: I meant to do the weapon sprite bugfix with the baby and children update, but I've been struggling with making the new art. I'm gonna see about fixing the weapon sprites sooner rather than later. I don't have an ETA though

Can confirm, they are super gay af. Does this prevent normal population growth?

Probably my favourite DF mod, great work

Has anybody figured out any band aid fix to weapon sprites?

Is there any specific guidance you'd give on where to load this mod in the mod order? I'm pretty sure I'm loading it right in this new world - I've definitely had kobolds before - but for some reason they're also just never appearing in the world for me.

nvm I didn't notice that dwarves were mixed in with them, I got my kobolds they're cute

I've tried using this mod many times and it's never worked, I don't understand why. The only other mod I have is no aquifers and this is working fine. I enable it at world gen every time but I always get a party of dwarves, big sad

Love this mod. I literally always use it in every save.
Kobolds > dwarves

Is there an issue with the horns? During charter creation in adventure mode the horns never changed when I would randomize the character and once I accepted a character, it had a different set of horns.

I'm also curious if I can use DFHack to alter the horns? I've found settings for just about all other physical appearance settings but can't seem to identify anything for the horns.

It turns out that I am indeed stupid (Yes, that was the problem. Thank you, I didn't realise that this was a thing you had to do to get mods to work)

@Crozarius make sure you're enabling the mod when you're creating the world. it's finicky but you have to activate it in game after downloading it from the workshop

Do you enable the mod (move it into the active list) when you generate the world?

Hi, I suspect I may be stupid and haven't done some critical step, but for some reason no matter how many worlds I generate I can't get Kobold civilisations to appear when selecting origin in Fortress mode. Any ideas?

@Dingus: It should work! I did all my testing on test branches, and nothing major has changed. I do plan on updating this mod again, but it'll be graphical and portrait stuff. (which includes fixing the missing weapon sprites!)

@LambdaFan: They are, but my mod isn't trying to be DF kobolds. They're more of my own style of D&D kobolds, the dragon-y kind.
