If they are wearing something on their feet then they won't come into contact with the contaminant and be affected. As for water, you might be able to add the [SYN_INGESTED] tag so that if they drank it then they were infected as well.

I'm developing a mod to add good and evil weather, and first thing I'm doing is the "miracle dust", which will pretty much resurrect any undead. I need you guys to check if this would work, considering I'm no expert on the new weather.

I also have a problem. The errorlog says
Code: [Select]
*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/inorganic_good_ge.txt"
MIR_DUST: Could not locate material template GOOD_TEMPLATE
However I do have the material template and I proofread it. Several times.

Hmm, but what would make creatures mearly stunned and not rotting to the core?

Well, shoot. Nothing like that on any of the creatures I am sending to there (hopeful) deaths in arena mode. Might just start from scrach and see if theres something wierd with the actual method. Might make it a gas first and see if it infects that way.

Consider a hypothetical RAW file with two creature definitions in it.

What are the minimum amount of changes needed to occur to remove one creature from showing up in-game, but not affect the other?

At the moment, I think the simplest way is to remove the brackets from everything between creature definitions, but is there an easier way?

...cut + paste one creature to another file outside the RAWs?

That's... actually given me a pretty decent idea. Thanks! (A little more complicated, since I'll be doing it programmatically, but that's water under the bridge!)

How can I turn off cutting of stones that are not gems in the jeweler's workshop?  I tried deleting the STONE SHAPE tags from default_entities.txt under MOUNTAIN / DWARF to no avail.

So, can you guys check my edited miracle dust to see if it would work?

Which raws did you edit? The ones in a certain region folder, or the ones outside them in the main /raw folder?

It doesn't matter--entity changes ALWAYS require a regen.

I tested my "miracle dust" in the arena with a test creature. I purified a goblin vampire. It lost it's ability to suck blood and I managed to strangle it successfully. It still flashed the red Ñ and it was still listed as goblin vampire, though. What am I missing?

Oh, and using it on a zombie didn't work as well as I expected. Shortly after purifying a goblin zombie, the poor guy died because he couldn't breathe.
