Stone/construction information in DF
« on: October 02, 2008, 01:36:52 pm »

So, becoming impatient with my "build clear glass tomb" project due to lack of wood (even the elves don't bring me wood anymore...ahem, if you know what I mean), I decided I would cheat (just a little!) and transform all green glass into clear glass.

After playing around with TileEdit, turns out, it can't do this.  After some reading up on the forums, (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the tile contains a flag that points it at extended information.  But I'm not sure which of the many other sets of data this resides in, or how that data is indexed.  Can anyone shed some light?

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.

Uhm.  For one, what exactly are you trying to do?
Furniture and items cannot be edited by ANY external program.
End of story on that front.
I need more information.

What am I trying to do?  Change green glass into clear glass. 

Also nifty would be able to create trees.

Now, I believe that no external program can do this *now*, but I don't believe that it's not possible to do.  I'm curious if someone can shed some light on where this information might be kept, and then I can do some digging.

Edit a reaction to change green glass into clear glass?
Assuming you are making blocks.

Otherwise edit a reaction to change some rock into wood?

Ah, I hadn't done that yet.  It'll do.  Thanks!
