i figured out how to alter woods but what is the tags to tell what Leather is being used for the sake of using DFhack for changeitem or to create them using create-items?

For createitem and changeitem the material would be ANIMAL_ID:LEATHER.

For example, cat leather would be 'createitem SKIN_TANNED CAT:LEATHER' or 'changeitem m CAT:LEATHER'.

If you are unsure of an animal's ID, just check the wiki.

I need a little help, I'm making a 'shifter' caste for humans that can become different creatures called 'Titans', but it isn't working as expected.

You should be copying your interactions from somewhere else, then editing bits and pieces. I always do.
Also, you need a target. You have [I_TARGET:CREATURE]. It needs [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]. That's the only issue with the interaction itself. As for the CAN_DO_INTERACTION... oh boy. Here, I've made it for you:

Code: [Select]
[CAN_DO_INTERACTION:SHIFTINGMALE]
[CDI:ADV_NAME:Change into a titan]
[CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY]
[CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:1]
[CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:A:1]
[CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:2000] you'll want to edit this
Copy that for female. You also don't need GENERAL_POISON or SYN_CONTACT, but neither of those are really issues. It'd be better to have SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE:HUMAN:SHIFTERMALE for the SHIFTINGMALE interaction and similar for SHIFTINGFEMALE.

You can't create corpse items with the createitem script, unfortunately. I tried using changeitem to see if I could turn cat bones into dog bones, but that didn't work either.

But you can create the item you want by listing ANIMAL_ID:BONE as the material.

Is it possible for me to alter/mod my adventurers so that they become "normal" dwarfs again and will show up as migrants at future forts?

You need to retire them at dwarf sites. I don't know if it's possible to retire your adventurers at abandoned forts, but it's the only chance you have without regenerating and making dwarves build towns in worldgen.

You can 'retire' a fort using DFHack by using the mode command to switch from fortress mode to adventurer mode, then retire. There may be other steps, I can't remember the exact method to do it though, I haven't done it in a while.

The retired site will be exactly like a normal site for the civ, with the residents randomly milling about wherever they can reach, and you can even retire there, unlike with normal abandoned sites.

I haven't tried reclaiming a retired site though, so I have no idea what to expect from it.

I remember there also being a script by Warmist here that allowed you to create new sites through DFHack using a custom adventurer reaction. I don't know if it is included with DFHack or the Lazy Newb though.

No, there's a thingie to start a fort mode game wherever your adventurer currently is. I think it might be in Dfusion. It's "create site" or something.

You can then abandon the fort and he/she will show up in a migrant wave next time you play.

If you want to enable two Civs to be controllable you get a problem with the [RESPONSIBILITY:TRADE] token (or perhaps you don't thus I'm asking).

On the broker this token makes him display the prizes.
On a human guild rep this token makes them come to your site and make a trade agreement. (At least according to the wiki. I'm not sure why modest mod has the [RESPONSIBILITY:ESTABLISH_COLONY_TRADE_AGREEMENTS]. According to wiki this wouldn't be needed.)

Let's assume I want to enable both dwarfs and humans as controllable civ. Then I run into the problem, that both civs need a broker position. However this position would now also run around the map making the trade agreements.

Is it safe to have both positions a broker (appointed by mayor) and a guild rep (appointed by king) for both civs, where the trader only has the RESPONSIBILITY:TRADE token and the Guild rep has both the TRADE and the ESTABLISH_COLONY_TRADE_AGREEMENTS token?
Will this doubling work as intended or will i run into problems?

Hey, so I'm fairly rusty with modding, but my problem is thus:

I rebuilt an old mod of mine from 31.25 - just set up the raws again from scratch.

Until I'm totally finished the mod, they're just using modified goblin raws - which is okay, because goblins spawn just fine. The problem is, although I've defined these goblin-analogues the same way, they refuse to spawn in Arena or in worldgen. I've scoured the Raws, but i've likely missed out on something. Could someone help?

Spoiler: creature_zalifen.txt (click to show/hide)

They also have an entity file, and a language file if that's needed too.

You're at least missing [OBJECT:CREATURE] after the file name.

Code: [Select]
