DF Modding / Re: Modding Raws to make crystal glass reactions possible.
« on: July 13, 2009, 10:20:07 pm »
Thank you so much for this. I can finally get the raw crystal glass. Don't think I can make anything out of it without pearlash but o well :)

How do you know what to put where when modding?

Most of the things I've tried end up producing generic items with a 0 value.
How do you define items better?

Hey again and thanks,

I still seem to be having some trouble with this though. I copied and pasted your strand and can't get it to work:

[PRODUCT:100:2:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:CRYSTAL_GLASS:CRYSTAL_GLASS]

Specifically:

[REACTION:CRYSTAL_ROCK_MAKING]
[NAME:make rock crystal]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:2:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:CRYSTAL_GLASS:CRYSTAL_GLASS]

I also tried to model this off the example provided in the wiki:
[REACTION:FREE_GEMS1][NAME: make DIAMOND_LY][SMELTER][PRODUCT:100:10:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:DIAMOND_LY]

I also tried to get feather tree instead of oak as in their example. No dice, generic "wood" only....

Here it creates a "rough gem" with a weight of 1 and a value of 3.
I have tried some other mods like this and the game only produces generic items with no specification.

What am I doing wrong?

Cool thanks, would "ROUGH" inserted make Crystal glass gems (much like raw glass) :)

[Sorry if this seems like cheating but this stuff is seemingly impossible to get My nobles keep demanding it though..... Sometimes on sandless maps... ??? All the needless beatings have increased my "Magma delivery" to the nobles section....]

Hi, I usually don't mod but I am so sick of trying to get crystal glass that I am willing to (and genning the new world).

I would like to know the reaction mod in the raws to make rock crystals from nothing or to make raw crystal glass from nothing.

I've run over 20 forts and I've never seek rock crystal. I haven't been able to trade for it either.

Any help you could give me would be welcome, thank you very much :).

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Help with lighted stair column
« on: June 23, 2009, 04:00:41 pm »
It's a bit of a challenge, but you could floor off the top Z level. Then everything counts as "inside." I have also done the "staggered dug ramp" idea:

**\          I*****
***\         I*****
****\       I*****
*****\     I*****
******\   I*****
*******\  I*****
********\I *****

Notice how the ground above all the of the ramps is dug out and exposed to the sky. If you do this, be sure to have an "indoors stairway" nearby that is marked heavy or restricted traffic. This takes care of "all dwarves stay inside" problems by providing an inside stair, which circumvents the problem of an outside stair in seiges. Have areas dug around the sides of your exposed dug out ramps to allow passage from one side to the other. This also allows you to have a caravan come down into your fort instead of bringing all your trade goods to the caravan ("30 min bringing items to depot???").

I actually do not like this approach due to decor reasons.
Therefore, I do not use it.

Another approach would be to use "tweak" program to make all the stairs register as outside and light via tile edit.

Or, you could edit dwarves to not have sun problems.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: The elves traded me a tamed GIANT EAGLE in a cage (1st time)
« on: June 18, 2009, 04:50:27 pm »
Awesome.

For some reason, she did not show up on the Z status animal screen. I saved the game and then reloaded to let her out of her cage and "V" "G" ed her. The little female symbol showed up.

This is just... yeah... wow....

Anyhow, I tried to upload a pic from photobucket of this big brown capital letter E and I must not be doing it right. Any tips?

Thanks,
Truean

DF Gameplay Questions / The elves traded me a tamed GIANT EAGLE in a cage (1st time)
« on: June 18, 2009, 04:35:40 pm »
So there I was starting a new fort. Things are going alright and my masons are working like mad along with everyone else. I make it through winter and to spring.

The elves show up. I figure the little pointy ears will have their usual compliments of cloth and ... pointed... earlike things.... I guess.

Much to my surprise, they actually showed up with a giant eagle in a cage, tame... Naturally, after I managed to get my heart pumping something besides astonishment, I gave them every worthless stonecraft I had for it.

I have two questions:

1.) I'm new, how do I post the picture (printscreen) of this thing. I have it both in cage and in trade depot menu.



2.) What do I do with it? Right now I built the cage right outside my entrance.  How can I tell if it's a boy or a girl and more importantly, how can I get the opposite sex to start breeding these things into impromptu flying guards and meat sources?
