DF Modding / Question about animal products made out of inorganic materials
« on: June 09, 2015, 04:40:02 pm »
Greetings, i'm trying to mod a new animal into the game, and i need some direction on what to do.
The animal in question has it's bones made out of iron or a material with similar properties and specific "shearable" gems that grow on it's back, is there a way to make these things into the game? I want the animal's bones to be able to be used as some sort of weapon/trap/armor material since i want them to have similar properties to iron, and also to add the shearable gemstones on it's back, giving them a proper gem value and making them fully usable in a jeweler's shop.
I suppose i'll need to make a separate material_template.txt/inorganic_material.txt for the mod in question, but how would i specifically tell the engine to look into those .txt files on the shearable and bone products?
Thanks in advance.
