Hacking in rock crystal trade?
« on: December 05, 2007, 05:40:00 pm »

Is it possible to edit the raws to make traders sell raw rock crystal? How about other kinds of raw gems?

Going a step further, is it possible to edit the raws to make it possible to request raw gems from the output liason?

Or you could simply put the [GLASS] tag onto all gems in matgloss_stone_gem.txt in C:\xxxx\dwarffortress\raw\objects\

Not, as far as I know, raw gems.

Not raw gems. Only those of the "large" variety.

Yes, they sell small and large cut gems. I want to know if it is possible to mod in raw gems for trade.

The answer to almost any "can I mod in..." question is "No."

You can add in new types of already existing things, but you cannot change the functionality of the game through modding.

Of course, the easy answer was the very first response to your post. Just add [GLASS] to every common gem type (I doubt you want to use diamonds for glassmaking...).

Make a smelter reaction that uncuts the cut rock crystal.

I was just about to say that. This should work:

[REACTION:UNCUT_ROCK_CRYSTAL]
[NAME:uncut rock crystal]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:SMALLGEM:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:CRYSTAL_ROCK]
[PRODUCT:1:ROUGH:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:CRYSTAL_ROCK]

You'll have to generate a new world, unfortunately.

Yeah, there's a few things you can do if you want to generate a new world. Adding [GLASS] and restarting DF is the only thing I know of that works mid-fortress, though.

If we're all about adding in the [GLASS] tag, couldn't you just trade for your crystal glass and save yourself this hassle.  Or can we not trade for crystal glass?

hmm, my solution to lack of rock crystal was slightly different.

added this to the entry for rock crystal in the raws

[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:MICA:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:PERICLASE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:ORTHOCLASE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:MICROCLINE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:CALCITE:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]

I usually plant fortresses in granite/marble areas, and I wind up with lots of big O's of these lesser stones, with nothing interesting in them.  Adding these lines adds 1-2 clusters of rock crystal in almost all of those O's of lesser rock.  You can add any stone type you want, just make sure it's a type of stone that never contains metal ore, otherwise the ore take precedence over gems.

You can't trade for glass of any sort. And moods require RAW crystal glass anyhow.

Yours or mine, Greenwolf?   ;)

Diamonds and Rock Crystals mod.

This has been lying around for a while. People don't seem to like to use it though. Maybe it's just me..

Heh, now that I look at your post, I realise I probably forgot periclase...  or not?..  I think I checked thoroughly enough...
