DF Modding / Re: The REALLY dumb ideas thread.

It didn't really work though, because ammo couldn't have weight in 40d, so It was just a high-damage arrow with a really heavy launcher. With fire speeds and ammo sizes now, one can be made that actually has insane bludgeon damage but a very low range. Something like this:

DF Modding / Re: Fixing Forgotten Beasts

I guess the underground levels might go something like this:
1 = soil
2 = stone
3 = Hot Stuff (yeah, I know it isn't really spoilers, but still.)
4 = Partially molten stuff
5 = Incredibly dense stuff

Some interesting tags:
[GENERATED]
[FEATURE_BEAST]
[ATTACK_TRIGGER:0:0:50000]
[NATURAL]
[TITAN]
[ATTACK_TRIGGER:
[UNIQUE_DEMON]
[DEMON]
[UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:5:5]

I know [NATURAL] goes on any non-mythical creatures, it doesn't really mean anything, and ATTACK_TRIGGER:X:X:X] is the same as the similar tag on entites. Does anyone know if putting [DEMON] or something similar on a normal creature could make it show up in *CENSORED*?

[BUILDING:MECHANIC:CUSTOM_M]
There's no MECHANIC building.
I took it off the end of a string dump string, HOTKEY_BUILDING_WORKSHOP_MECHANIC.
There isn't a KITCHEN building in the dump either, so I assumed it would work like tallow.

EDIT: ok, sorry. I saw used a text search and didn't find any capitalised KITCHEN, so I assumed they just weren't listed. Just replace mechanic with smelter or a custom workshop then.

Try these. They should be in the mechanic's shop. Don't forget the entity tags.

DF Suggestions / Re: Dog mini-arc
« on: May 03, 2010, 08:06:17 pm »
Most of the description stuff can probably be modded in right now, and I think expanded training and genetics are planned already.

I think the topic should be renamed, because it seems a bit counterproductive to me to focus just on dogs, then throw in a footnote at the bottom of 'Oh, this should work for other animals too.'

DF Suggestions / Re: [i know this sounds really weird]the ability to pinch testicles?

Didn't Toady already deny the possibility of genitalia in vanilla DF? I think he wants to keep it at least marginally family-friendly.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: A glitch or a feature? [running deons genesis mod]

If it's only one or two types of animal, they may have been placed in a civilization as a glitch, if not they might just be there as a coincidence and a dragon showed up a few years before you found the town and ate everyone. Megabeasts are known to attack towns and steal items.

DF Suggestions / Re: "simple fluids" init option
« on: May 01, 2010, 12:13:16 am »
I can imagine the exploits already.

To clarify, I think freezing water would be a bad idea because of how much it would skew some systems, mbut maybe using a simpler system to conserver power would be nice.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: using blood barrels
« on: April 26, 2010, 06:58:42 pm »
You can't dump liquids (I tested this trying to make bloodstains on the ground after finding that dumping powders makes stains) but if you set the melting temperature high enough, it'll become a blob that you can dump. I can't guarantee that your dwarves won't instantly die of solid blood, though.

DF Suggestions / Re: Better stats roll for the starting seven
« on: April 24, 2010, 04:22:35 pm »
I think they mean they want the starting dwarves to have high stats to make the game easier.

I'm personally against this suggestion because it would take extra work on toady's part to introduce a feature that (I assume) most people wouldn't even notice, as the dwarves' starting traits don't matter much at first and chances are you'll get some pretty good dwarves as immigrants by the time training happens and stats start to matter.

DF Modding / Re: So what exactly is the new ice/water behavior? (v0.31)
« on: April 24, 2010, 10:21:33 am »
Change :STONE: to :BOULDER:

STONE refers to the pebbles you find in adventure mode. BOULDER is the new word for mined stones.

DF Modding / Re: Strange mood: need bone creating reaction for 31.03 please
« on: April 18, 2010, 05:26:04 pm »
Code: [Select]
[REACTION:BONES_TEST]
[NAME:make bones]
[BUILDING:KITCHEN:CUSTOM_Z]
[PRODUCT:100:1:CORPSEPIECE:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:ELF:BONE]
[SKILL:COOK]
Is what it would look like, except that corpsepiece doesn't make anything when used as a product in reactions. It it might be like creature_mat where you have an extra : to specify what type of corpse piece it is, but otherwise, I have no idea. I did a bunch of testing the yesterday and found out that bones can be made into pretty much anything except body parts.

DF Modding / Re: Paper and paper crafts
« on: April 16, 2010, 10:05:43 pm »
A few people have tried this over the years weeks months and from what I've seen, the one you used in the first post should work perfectly unless you have a problem with humans being able to make flattened wood products.

Have you tried leaving it in live mode for a few minutes then checking its inventory? I think the secretion becomes a coating on the skin. Also, hit it with an elf and wait about a minute in live mode to see if he gets symptoms.
