1. Let`s assume i create a creature with various castes.

2. Let`s assume one of those castes has the [SEMIMEGABEAST] token

3. Let`s assume the creature has a [CLUSTER_NUMBER:X:X] token. (Not on the caste level, but on the creature level.)

If the semimegabeast spawns now, will it be accompanied by some creatures of the other castes?

Good question, also CLUSTER_NUMBER no matter where you put it would still be the entire creature, since it's a creature level tag.
But I did not know SEMI_MB was caste level (wiki says so) But I'd assume that the semimegabeast castes would act like SMs and claim caves, while the other castes function like normal wild life?

Do some testing, I'm interested in this. And would like to know the results.

how do you add a new organ, and get it to appear in meat stockpiles?

like, say I want gall bladders, for whatever reason. How do I define things in tissue, material, or body files, such that butchering the creature will result in that body part ? Is it dependent on creature size?

New Body Part "gall bladder"

New Material_Template "gall_bladder_template"
that has the required things for making it independant meat look at LIVER_TEMPLATE

then you have to alter BDPs to include your new material, tissue, and have it layer'd right. If a tissue made from your desired creature, is not layer'd in it, it does not exist and thus can not be butchered

[Lordinquisitor]

Will do some testing then, once i find the time.

Currently working on a morrowind full conversion and it would be kinda neat if one could encounter different creatures in old ruins and not only one big guy.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

No harm in two?

[Putnam]

Yeah, that's true.

[Toxicshadow]

If I were to give a caste [SLOW_LEARNER] but then add [SKILL_RATE:SKILL:x:x:x], would that skill be reduced by SLOW_LEARNER, or buffed by SKILL_RATE?
This is also assuming [SLOW_LEARNER] is defined before [SKILL_RATE], if DF interprets that way

THink I answered that for you on skype?

Also Question I added

":FORCED"
to the end of a [SHEILD:xxxxxxx] item call in a entity, Errorlog gave no errors and this is what the wiki says:

PANTS  item token
rarity
 Rarity is optional. Permitted rarity values are RARE, UNCOMMON, FORCED (anything else is treated as COMMON).
[PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_PANTS:COMMON]
 
SHIELD  item token  [SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_SHIELD]
 

I included pants too so it's easier to see where I'm coming from. Does this mean we can add rarity to weapons to force a race to use a certain weapon more often?

[Putnam]

I don't think so; so far as I can tell, ALL weapons and ALL shields that are declared in the entity will be used by ALL copies of that entity. The same is not true for armor pieces (you know, getting low boots, but not high boots etc.), so they require rarity. Rarity, so far as I know, only affects how often the entity is able to make the armor, not how often it uses it.

[Shadowclaimer]

Upon booting Dwarf Fortress and generating a world, when I go to accept it, it blows up. I cannot seem to find the issue..

There are other Races/Entities that are copies of this but with different Biome Support, Ethics, Spheres, etc. the Error Log is showing up entirely empty however.

Many of the following tags are actually caste-level tags (in this case, male and female), but because there are no differences between the castes for these tags in a dwarf, you can add them earlier.  Any caste-level tag that occurs before castes are explicitly declared is saved up and placed on any caste that is declared later, unless the caste is explicitly derived from another caste.

Next we use body detail plans (which have their own raw file) to streamline the addition of some of the common materials, tissues and their relationships with each other.

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]

[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:NAIL:NAIL_TEMPLATE]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:NAIL:FRONT]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:TOE:NAIL:FRONT]

Set up some major arteries that couldn't be handled in the raw templates.  The selection commands can be used to grab tissue layers to adjust their properties after they have been created.

[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
[PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER:SKIN:BY_CATEGORY:THROAT]
[TL_MAJOR_ARTERIES]

Then back to some more body detail plans.

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_HEAD_POSITIONS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_HEAD_POSITIONS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RIBCAGE_POSITIONS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RELSIZES]
[RELSIZE:BY_CATEGORY:LIVER:300] Of course!  Standard relative size for humanoids is 200.

Tendons and ligaments are currently very abstract, but adding these flags will let wounds occur that damage them.  The number afterward is the healing rate.  Lower is faster.

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SINEW:SINEW_TEMPLATE]
[TENDONS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]
[LIGAMENTS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]

This makes the creature susceptible to severed nerves when muscles are torn in limb, grasp and stance parts.

[HAS_NERVES]

This controls the bleeding behavior.

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]
[BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]

These classes are used by syndromes (such as poison) as well as some restricted entity positions.  You can name them whatever you want.

[CREATURE_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

Some tags to control the overall infection behavior.

Attributes for dwarves are still described in terms of the median value below, but the actual game effects are altered according to the raw numbers.  The numbers are different percentile values.  1000 is the human median for all attributes, so dwarven strength, for instance, has a higher median of 1250, although they suffer from their smaller size.

[MENT_ATT_RANGE:SPATIAL_SENSE:700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500]        ++

These tags establish the growth phases of the creature's life.  The format is (BODY_SIZE|<year>|<day>|<average size>).

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:3000]
[BODY_SIZE:1:168:15000]
[BODY_SIZE:12:0:60000]

These body modifiers give individual dwarves different characteristics.  In the case of HEIGHT, BROADNESS and LENGTH, the modifier is also a percentage change to the BODY_SIZE of the individual creature.  The seven numbers afterward give a distribution of ranges.  Each interval has an equal chance of occurring.

Attack definitions are formatted as follows:

[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]

This means that the attack will use as much of the available tissue as possible, rather than, say, thrusting with a spike.

This is the new format for making specific unit names for a creature.  Any unit token can be used.  If you want to add a caste-specific profession name, use CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME instead, once the caste has been declared.

This command lets you select all of the castes again.

[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]

Now we'll select all of the hair tissue layers we can find so that we can add colorations to them.  Even if the castes have different tissue layers, it'll find the layers and establish modifiers for each of the castes properly.

A color modifier takes a list of color patterns (every color is associated to a monotone color pattern of its color, so you can also use color tokens) and frequencies.

All of the other hair is selected and started at length zero.  It's fine to group them all together like this -- the creature can still accomodate different lengths once hair cutting/styling goes in.  I used one modifier here because the growth rates and starting length are all the same.

Here, GENERAL_BABY_NAME is at the creature level, and BABYNAME is at the caste level.  These names could be gender-specific but aren't right now.

Now we'll declare the specific castes.

From my other thread, is it because I renamed the original Dwarven Entity to something else? Even though I made a new world?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

I don't think so; so far as I can tell, ALL weapons and ALL shields that are declared in the entity will be used by ALL copies of that entity. The same is not true for armor pieces (you know, getting low boots, but not high boots etc.), so they require rarity. Rarity, so far as I know, only affects how often the entity is able to make the armor, not how often it uses it.

No harm in me testing it, I really want some invaders to come with throwing knives (since THROW is not a militray skill as we all know) so no throwing knife men.
Either way, errorlog is clean and worse case Invaders wear what I want but use whatever they feel like.

So if this works, then hey more power to us.

P.S.
Not saying your wrong as you are correct on the ARMOR,SHOE,HELM,etc... items. but if SHIELD, and WEAPON take it just as fine, then maybe it could work?

[Wannabehero]

Question:  Do non-standard (read: non[YARN] hair) tissues, when made shearable, not count as bodyparts for vanilla reactions?  More specifically, do vanilla reactions require a corpsepiece to be obtained from butchering to be usable?

I ask because I modded in a creature to have shearable tusks to obtain a steady supply of ivory.  I also added the [BONE] token to the ivory mat in hopes that I could use the sheared tusks for both tooth/ivory and bone reactions.  The end results was a pile of creature ivory in the refuse pile that the dwarves refused to use for bone or tooth/ivory reactions.

Is there a solution to this that someone has figured out in the past?


Edit:

In case it helps, here is the relevant code (I think) from the RAW

I *think* that all SHEARED materials are counted as THREAD items not CORPSEPIECE (from butchering)

So vanilla workshops will ignore it saddly. have to go custom I believe (someone correct me, I've not worked much with "shearing")

[Wannabehero]

Interesting Hugo, I hadn't thought about that.  I might try some !!SCIENCE!! tonight and see if the sheared tusks are counting as thread.

If so, it's either abandon the idea, or could a reaction be used to convert the sheared tusks into corpsepieces?

The wiki says that corpsepiece doesn't have a material token, so I suppose a
PRODUCT:100:1:CORPSEPIECE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:"sheared tusk":NONE] might have some problems?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Yeah crash the game, same with FOOD that crashes the game too.

You can add [REACTION_CLASS:XXXX] to the ivory material and make custom reactions take any thread item classed as that.

!!SCIECNCE!! must be done

[Wannabehero]

Ok, I have an update on the creature shearing behavior that I thought I might share.

It happens that the issue I was having with the sheared tissues (ivory, from bodypart:tusks) was based on both the creature size and the relative tissue thickness.  When I increased the creature bodysize significantly, the sheared ivory tissue became usable for crafts and similar reactions.

Also, with the increase to the creature size the sheared ivory tissue showed up inside the workshops not as "Creature" Ivory, but instead as "Creature" right tusk and "Creature" left tusk.  It appears that there was a critical size where the removed tissue satisfied a requirement to count as a complete bodypart, and thus could be used in reactions.  I am not certain where this critical size is, and I am pretty sure it is dependent on the body plan, tissue shape (layer, strands, feathers, scales, ect.), and tissue thickness (BP_RELSIZE and TL_RELATIVE_THICKNESS for example... I think).

Speaking of relative thickness, by not changing the creature size and instead cranking up the tissue relative thickness (by a very significant amount, like 100x) the same result was achieved; the sheared ivory became usable.  I don't know absolutely, but I think tweaking the body plan to change the RELSIZE of the tusks to make them bigger would allow a less outrageous TL_RELATIVE_THICKNESS value.  !!SCIENCE!! is still needed.

All in all it appears that, very much like butchering, when shearing a tissue there is a minimum tissue size that must be met to satisfy requirements to count as a usable bodypart.  Right now it seems that any means to define or modify the tissue in question to make it large enough to meet the currently unknown criteria will work, the most simple being to increase the body size of the creature.
______

I did some quick tests on normal creatures with shearable hair to confirm some of these observations, and sure enough, decreasing the creature's size to very small made the sheared hair unusable to make yarn.
