A bit more powerful than I was hoping, perhaps I should lower the necrosis.
I think the bleeding will kill them before the rot does, as rotting starts after the bleeding and pain is gone. But yes It's a bit overkill, But I like to imagin is like acid in the "Movies" where it can insta melt someones face off

Is there a way to specify where on the body a piece of armor goes? I'd like to make a custom piece of armor that specifically protects a custom body part attached to the upper body (the aforementioned bulb.) From what I can tell, what body part a piece of armor goes to is determined by item type, so the best I could do is define a piece of armor with the appropriate LBSTEP (or UBSTEP, I'm unclear which direction it'll need to go.) Is there a more elegant solution to this problem? I'd be ok with the LBSTEP solution if I could keep anything that wasn't Bulbasaur from wearing it.

Since 0.34 I have the FPS counter in the upper left corner and it blocks the view of the PAUSE. think that truetype is responsible. Anyone else has that problem and found a fix ? I use Phoebus, although that souldnt interfere with this.

just wondering, are necro towers hardcoded?

was planning on "cheating" the lack of true dark fortresses, and replacing with necro towers, but a quick glance at the raws does not include anything about necros aside from the syndrome/interaction...  nothing about the towers.

failing that, with the way human towns sprawl now, i am not going to use those for goblins, is it possible to only use the keeps?

I think the tag you want, if you want Goblins to build human-style fortresses, is [BUILDS_OUTDOOR_FORTIFICATIONS].
thanks for that...  but nothing about the towers?

lol, figures.

I'm trying to make an interaction that resembles a lightning strike in effect. For some reason none of the syndromes seem to be applied. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

Interaction (located in a custom human caste)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Material:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've tried making the fixed temp the boiling temp so that it's boiling when it comes out, I've tried making the fixed temp above boiling. No syndromes. The density might be a little high, it keeps shattering leg bones but I figure I'll worry about that once the syndrome works. The framework for the interaction/material was stolen from Gizogin's ice spike spell.

When changing a stat using a syndrome, like so:
         [CE_SPEED_CHANGE:SPEED_PERC:180:START:0]
or stuff like strength and toughness

is it possible to do this?
         [CE_SPEED_CHANGE:SPEED_PERC:180:START:0:PEAK:1000:END:1200]?

This might be a bit of a long shot, but is there any way to make a workshop reaction require a pet be brought to it, a la Kennel? The raws seem to be pretty cagey about the inner workings of the kennel, otherwise I'd just copypasta.

Failing that, any ideas as to how to efficiently and reliably add syndromes to pets? The best I can come up with is to have a 1x1 workshop that creates the low boiling point stone, and just tell people to restrain a pet next to it :P

Also, re: irdsm, the syndrome currently works by [SYN_INJECTED], and I'm not sure there's a way for it to enter the bloodstream. Try [SYN_INHALED]. Also, if you get it working, mind if I use it on my own mod? I've been looking for a functional lightning analogue.

2nd edit: Whoops, I didn't notice it was a liquid. [SYN_CONTACT], then.

It's already got syn_contact. I figured injection wouldn't interfere with the syndrome. Just tried removing injection, doesn't seem to help.

If I can get it working I'll put it in the spellbook and anybody who wants to use it can. A lightning spell seems like something that absolutely has to exist.

Hm. Yeah, overlooked that, whoops. Maybe it's just the formatting of the site, but is the interaction correctly "tabbed" under the syndrome?

@old greg: 1x1 workshop with boiling stone and inhaled syndrome is the only way I found as well. I use it to transform pets into armored versions. If you happen to discover a better solution, I am all ears. Otherwise, pastures it is. Both kennels and butcher use pets a reagent though, but there is no tag/reaction token for it...

Phooey, that'll be quite awkward if I ever release this mod. Oh well, thanks for clearing it up.

You need to use a custom MATERIAL_EMISSION_WITH_SYNDROME
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
added to your own interactions.  The only way I can get a syndrome applied with an interaction is to just go ahead and apply the syndrome, it's how the mists and rains really do it in the world.dat file.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
as an example they use the ie_animate to effect the corpse, but they define and apply the syndrome in the code. the syndrome attached to the material is only used when somedwarf comes by and steps in it. The material doesn't seem to acknowledge an interaction as injected or contact where syndromes are concerned.

There is an alternative way to do it.. If you make your interaction part of an attack like in the werewolf example, the material does count as being injected.  Whichever way suits your style.

Aw nuts. I tried to give a creature a tail made of flame (MAT_FIXED_TEMP:10800) and use the BP_Bump interaction to be able to apply it directly to items to ignite them, or creatures to melt their face off- didn't work. Oh well.

I tried to ingest a syndrome using the cleaning interaction modded with a tounge bodypart and it didn't work, but "licking" something under the Eat command even without a modified toungue does.  It seems interactions don't really make contact, and are limited to what creatures already use them for, and what we can twist out of that, I've given my basalisk a death glare that just applies the syndrome without a material, my bloodbender can puke my opponents blood without touching them and then animate it on the floor, but an attempt to combine the two causes the game to crash, and my thaumaturgist can apply a syndrome to undead creatures, but can't target them specifically without modding them to have a tag, and they ignore the syndromes effects even if I change their tags.
