Re-Enabling Extinct Species in newer versions

[TehDruid]

I think somebody may have already asked about this, but... How can one allow the player to play a Mountain Dwarf after 0.9? Also, can this be done for other old species that are gone (or even classes, like the Paladin)?

P.S: I've compiled the game a few times before so no need to explain that.
P.S.2: Yes, I can play MDs in 0.9, but I would like to be able to try them with all the fancy new changes in the game.

They exist in 0.10 as a disabled species, for save compat reasons. Easest way is to transform yourself with wizmode &r. You also wouldn't need to change much code to re-enable them. Other extinct species will be more work, since they don't exist in the code any more.

You also will have more trouble getting them in 0.11, because they've been removed entirely now. So, my advice to you is to stick to a modified 0.10.2 (the current stable release).
