I am working on a mod to make every civilization be populated by beak dogs, but don't know what I'd need to change to make armor fit their size.

Is there a way to mod armor size, or do smiths automatically size everything?

(I am going to add in grasping, intelligent, can open doors, and so on.)

Edit, I also need to learn how to set up grasping parts on a body.

Armor auto-sizes to the smith by default (same with clothes), but there is a loose directory of size to fits in the 'details' (its not the best list and its hardcoded)

[GRASP] handles it in body tokens which could be done a couple of ways if you dont just add the arm-parts to the body-structure but then it might be gradually moving them towards beak-dog-men (there's a Creature Variation file setting that does the other animalpeople you could use to speed-do this) or a gorlak like body-structure with out of proportion arms and legs which is a bit more complicated.

Can VERMIN, REMAINS or FISH items be used as reagents in reactions at all? They work as products alright. However, when using the same item and material tokens the workshop shows it as a required reagent (as should), but displays the reaction and reagent as red even though the required reagents/items are available.

Thank you. I am sometimes slow with learning these things, but I thin k Ican do that. I just got confused as when I looked in standard files for dwarves, elves, etc, there was no [Grasp] token. how is it they are making dwarves grab things without grasp tokens?

But yes, I could put grasp on a beak or maybe the paws being more dexterous.

[EQUIPS] is the creature token, while [GRASP] is on the body-tokens. Its been a while since i've had to look for the explanation behind those particular ones to refresh my memory.  [EQUIPS] puts them into clothes, earrings, crowns etc and weapons, and will 'enable' them to [GRASP] once you sort out that beak-mouth/paws to hold weapons too.

Coal is a hardcoded material. The Wiki lists CHARCOAL, COKE, or NO_MATGLOSS as valid arguments. It's not possible to add your own fuel type to that list, afaik (or unless there's some DFHack way, but that's beyond me).

Ah welp. Seems like we're having coal now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's a theoretical question about interactions (pardon me if it was asked 1000x already): is it possible to add interactions to items?
I want to add material emission interactions to weapons which the AI can use in fortress mode.

I'm currently researching the possibility to create weapons (magical staves and bows, for example) that can fire special projectiles, like multi-projectile shots, flame cones or webs. As far as I know, all these interactions can be added to creature entities, but I can't find any examples where weapons provide the same functionality.

[brewer bob]

Here's a theoretical question about interactions (pardon me if it was asked 1000x already): is it possible to add interactions to items?

No, currently it's not possible.

(I believe you can add syndromes to weapons with DFHack, but I don't know how that works.)

You mean adding contact poison syndromes to weapons which can grant abilities to creatures?

With DFhack you can dynamically add / remove access to interactions based on what items they're using (so you could give them access to particular spells while they're wielding a certain type of wand). I could've sworn there was something out of the box for this, but the closest thing I can find at the moment is modtools/item-trigger. It's a shame that I got bored / too indecisive when I was making a Guild Wars adaptation (I couldn't decide what way I wanted to implement magic), because I was going to make a whole resource for handling spell-granting items and special magical effects that would be very useful right now... >_>

Edit: In fact, I might throw something basic together. Sure, today was going to be the day I was supposed to actually knuckle down and fully focus on a project I've been slowly dragging out because I can't focus on things, but I'm sure that can wait
Edit Edit: And by "might throw something basic together" I mean I currently am working on a script for it.
Edit Edit Edit: I finished it and got everything ready for release, only to decide that it'd be better off using item-trigger and trying to make adjustments for reliability...

Does the [ATTACK] token for ammunition affect using the ammunition as a melee weapon, ranged attacks made with the ammunition or both?

bolts being ITEM_AMMO makes them ammo, I believe. Can't melee with an arrow.
