DF Suggestions / Portals could be used for backwards compatibility
« on: June 23, 2018, 11:58:53 pm »
It has been said that portals could create objects and beings, why not pull from the raws and create something that doesn’t exist yet? This would be cool for modders who want to put their stuff in their world with an empire at their disposal rather than having to start fresh.

DF Suggestions / In Civ Select Screen, the selected civ should be highlighted rather than colored
« on: May 05, 2018, 05:18:50 pm »
Because it’s hard to notice the subtle change of color, it shouldn’t change the civ to blue and rather highlight it blue or gray.

DF Suggestions / Civilians shouldn’t be “found” dead if they died within view of others
« on: May 02, 2018, 04:29:11 pm »
Just for the sake of it making sense

DF Suggestions / The aging system should be rewritten
« on: May 01, 2018, 09:13:58 pm »
The aging system causes death by old age to happen at a constant chance at the beginning of each month(?)

It could just be a simple equation:

Chance = ( (Current age - minimum death age) / maximum age) / 4 (for each season) or 12 (for each month, I’m not sure which), but no greater than 95% per year.

Any suggestions or better equations (especially from Toady One Mc-Has-A-Ph.D-In-Math) would be wonderful

DF Modding / In adding a creature which can fly and swim, but can't walk
« on: May 01, 2018, 02:19:37 pm »
Would this work, or would it air-drown?

Code: (excerpt from full creature) [Select]
[CREATURE:FISH_FLYING]
[DESCRIPTION:An extremely rare small fish which can leap out of the water and fly into the distance.]
[NAME:flying fish:flying fish:flying fish]

[CREATURE_TILE:224][COLOR:7:0:1]
[VERMIN_FISH][VERMIN_GROUNDER][FISHITEM][VERMIN_NOTRAP][IMMOBILE_LAND]

DF Modding / How to add new bodypart tokens
« on: May 01, 2018, 02:09:46 pm »
I want to add a [BODY:4WINGS] tag, is there anything I need to add to this?:
Code: [Select]
[BODY:4WINGS]
[BP:RWING:right front wing:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][RIGHT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:LWING:left front wing:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][LEFT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:RWING:right rear wing:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][RIGHT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:250]
[BP:LWING:left rear wing:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][LEFT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:250]

DF Suggestions / Pulling arrows out of wounds should cause some harm
« on: April 28, 2018, 11:45:25 pm »
Someone said this before, but I could not find it as it was a comment and not a post.

Quote from: whoever that was :P
An elven child can pull an arrow out of his left lung as if it was a toothpick and walk away.

The point that they were trying to get across was that arrow pullout effects should exist.

I think it should be defined like attacks, except of course coming in the reverse direction. This would mean that it pierced the flesh from the inside.

DF Modding / Can I put more than one [OBJECT] token in a raw file?
« on: April 25, 2018, 09:14:49 pm »
For example:

Code: [Select]
[OBJECT:CREATURE]
blah blah blah
[OBJECT:PLANT]
blah blah blah
[OBJECT:INORGANIC]
blah blah blah

... or would it fail to load?

DF Modding / If I give an interaction multiple targets, can NPC’s choose that many targets?
« on: April 25, 2018, 04:57:55 pm »
I was having fun in the OTA with my Phoenix, spitting two fireballs at two elves, at the same time.

I want to know if my Phoenix (which is [TRAINABLE_WAR]) can do the same as an actual creature.

DF Suggestions / [CURE] tag for syndromes
« on: April 25, 2018, 04:29:29 pm »
This would remove the effects of the syndrome, either gradually removing them or instantly diminishing them.

Some examples:

Code: [Select]
Arguments: Material:TIME:x or MATERIAL:INSTANT
[CURE:PLANT:PLUMP_HELMET:TIME:4800] *4 days


Code: [Select]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:cave spider bite]
[SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:SPIDER_CAVE:ALL]
[SYN_INJECTED]
                        [CURE:VENOM:CAVE_SPIDER] (incorrect?)
[CE_DIZZINESS:SEV:10:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:START:5:PEAK:100]  never ends!

This would mean that if you are able to milk a cave spider’s venom (via extraction), a medical dwarf (maybe a new job to administer medicine) would bring him/her the venom and ask him/her to drink it, curing the literally never-ending headache.

DF Suggestions / [HUNTS_VERMIN] and [GOBBLE_VERMIN_CREATURE] should co-exist
« on: April 25, 2018, 04:09:31 pm »
This means that if a creature has [HUNTS_VERMIN], but also has [GOBBLE_VERMIN_CLASS] or [GOBBLE_VERMIN_CREATURE], it should try to kill that vermin before it eats it. Also, if the creature has [RETURN_VERMIN_KILLS_TO_OWNER], it would only do so 25-50% of the time. (This could be used for cats.)

DF Modding / Can you give syndromes to plants?
« on: April 23, 2018, 09:08:49 pm »
Like if you touch it. Poison ivy, for example.

13
DF Suggestions / “a” and “Shift+A” in adventure mode should be swapped by default.
« on: April 22, 2018, 09:53:57 pm »
A debatable subject, that seeing your announcements isn’t really as important as countering that goblin trying to rip you apart.

It’s up for debate, and I expect not all of you agree with this.

DF Suggestions / Arenas and brawls.
« on: April 22, 2018, 05:29:52 pm »
An arena would be a new activity zone. It would be a place where brawls are hosted.

A visitor could challenge others in a brawl. A dwarf can choose to challenge visitors as well.

A dwarf that has free time (and likes brawling and stuff) would come to watch it on the same level or one level above (or both, if you wish to do so.)

Brawls would use the (currently unused) brawling level of conflict and the first to submit would lose. This would be the point where gambling would come in whenever it is released.

DF Suggestions / [COOKUNIT] tag
« on: April 22, 2018, 04:53:53 pm »
Currently, dwarves can (presumably) make a large amount of food from very small ingredients. For example, we would give strawberries [COOKUNIT:2], and it would take 2 strawberries to count as one ingredient. (It would take 4 strawberries to make Dwarven biscuits)

I intended this for very small ingredients like beans, which only four are needed to make a very large roast.
