DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Confession: I think vampires are a terrible addition
« on: March 05, 2012, 01:55:59 pm »
I like the addition of vampires:  One mouth to feed saves the fort many mouths to feed.  More ale for everyone else!

Then more immigrants arrive...  where's that vamp hiding?

Thanks Greiger.  I edited my post and fixed the BIOME tag.

Updated the sandworm.  Added Ryven's suggestion that the corpse drop a 'tooth', of which a weapon can be created.

Edit:
Fixed BIOME tag.
Adjusted SWIM_SPEED from 500 to 5000 (higher values mean slower swimmers)

Note: These guys should probably not swim at all, and just stay away from the water.  However, I don't know the effects of omitting the SWIM* tags, and there is no CANNOT_SWIM tag.  I figured I'd balance it by slowing down how fast they can swim.

It's blind, but a force to be reckoned with; try the Sandworm mod.

DF Modding / ITEMCORPSE Modding (special built-in functionality?)
« on: April 08, 2008, 06:09:00 pm »
Some questions/comments...

Does the sub-type field actually have a use, or is the only option "NO_SUBTYPE"?

Anyway, the USE_RACEGLOSS for the matgloss field seems to only work for some (built-in?) materials.  For example, the [Treants] use the entry:

code:

    [HAS_RACEGLOSS:WOOD]
    [ITEMCORPSE:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:USE_RACEGLOSS]

[Treants] will appear as "Mahogany treant", "Oak treant", etc.

However, when using a custom matgloss file, this functionality stops working, and treants (and there ITEMCORPSE remains) are undescriptive.  I've tried creating a ''matgloss_treant.txt'' file and adding a few unique entries, like [MATGLOSS_WOOD:FOOBAR_TREE] and [MATGLOSS_WOOD:BAZ_TREE], and editing the Treant to:

code:

    [HAS_RACEGLOSS:TREANT]
    [ITEMCORPSE:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:USE_RACEGLOSS]

...this doesn't seem to do anything.  If I want the Treant to leave special remains, like my Foobar Tree, I have to change the creature tokens to:
code:

    [HAS_RACEGLOSS:TREANT]
    [ITEMCORPSE:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:FOOBAR_TREE]

But here, I can only have "Foobar treants" that leave "Foobar logs"

Is it possible to create a custom matgloss file that will select random materials for my creatures, so it works like the default Treants do?

Oh, that's right!  I simply forgot because the map I'm playing is tropical, and so, never freezes.

I would like to see someone expand on this: Failed River Stairs.

A tower rising from a raging river would be an awesome defense (patrolled by carp and stingrays, of course)!

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Tasty vermin
« on: April 18, 2008, 10:02:00 pm »
Attempting to clear the vermin from the food stockpiles, Mesttos Fikoditdun took up the task of trapping the little buggers.  Trap in hand, he happens to pass by a glowing fairy.  "Why not?" he asks himself, and grabs the poor little thing and stuffs her into a cage.

Momuz Idshameb must have been watching the whole thing, because as soon as the fairy hits the stockpile, he quickly snatches her up and pops her into his mouth for a nice "light" snack.

Mmmmmm, fairy.

I would also like to see this implemented.  I hate having to search maps for the recently deceased, especially when the bodies have sunk into murky pools.

DF General Discussion / Re: Low reject seeds for v0.27.176.38b
« on: February 24, 2008, 12:24:00 pm »
I'm wondering if mods affect the generator.  I made an adjustment to the mod I'm currently working on, and the 11764874 seed I posted doesn't generate with only 3 rejects anymore.

« on: February 24, 2008, 11:57:00 am »
I've tried to generate 17x17 worlds, but get nothing but rejections (like, thousands before I give up).  Same thing with the 33x33.  I find if on of the dimensions is 257, then I can get a workable map to test my mods on.

I just tried a random 33x257: 3 rejections.

code:

[WORLD_GEN]
        [TITLE:CUSTOM]
        [SEED:111764874]
        [DIM:33:257]

DF General Discussion / Low reject seeds for v0.27.176.38b
« on: February 24, 2008, 11:33:00 am »
Only 2 rejects for the following parameters:
code:

Created in DF v0.27.176.38b.
[WORLD_GEN]
   [TITLE:CUSTOM]
   [SEED:2476007534]
   [DIM:17:257]

The world generates very fast compared to a full 257x257 map.

If so, sandworm teeth and crysknife creation could be implemented, although only "fixed" crysknives could exist, unless decay could be applied to them.</STRONG>

Perhaps you could try something like the following:

Add the following to [OBJECT:CREATURE][CREATURE:SANDWORM]:

code:
[ITEMCORPSE:STONE:TOOTH_SANDWORM:STONE:USE_RACEGLOSS]

...and to [OBJECT:MATGLOSS], add:

code:
[MATGLOSS_STONE:TOOTH_SANDWORM]
[NAME:sandworm tooth]
[TILE:'^'][COLOR:5:0:1]
[SHARP][DARK]

Defeated sandworms would drop teeth that could be used like obsidian to craft weapons.  Also, you may find sandworm teeth when mining (?), which is certainly plausible. :)

I'm not certain if this will work (I haven't tested it), but another possibility is to make the corpse drop a "ready-made" weapon with

code:
[ITEMCORPSE:WEAPON:WEAPON_CRYSKNIFE:STONE:USE_RACEGLOSS]

and adding an appropriate item entry (in matgloss_sandworm.txt?):
code:
[OBJECT:ITEM]
[ITEM_WEAPON:WEAPON_CRYSKNIFE]
[NAME:crysknife:crysknives]
[DAMAGE:50:PIERCE]
[WEIGHT:50]
[SKILL:DAGGER]
[CRIT_BOOST:1]
[TWO_HANDED:3]
[STICK_CHANCE:15]

Again, I haven't tried this yet.  Seems workable to me, though.
