Creature are oftenly made of multiple layers of tissue, looking at the iron man will give you a close example. They have iron with a thickness of 1, and gas in some much larget thickness.

Note that larger creatures with a connective metal tissue become rediculously diffucult to kill.

[Shaostoul]

Heh, thanks Deon.

A lot of what I say when it comes to creatures is guess work. So yeah, I'll try, but don't take my answers as the correct answer.

[Lancensis]

Shaostoul, I want to add a creature that has larger than average teeth and nails. I know I need to use the RELSIZE Deal, but I'm not sure whether to use BY_CATEGORY, or TOKEN, or what. Do you have any idea?

[Shaostoul]

I'm not sure. I looked through the raws real quick. Nothing seemed to have the RELSIZE dealio going on. I'll keep looking, but so far I don't seem to know.

[Shaostoul]

bump

[Flaede]

So frogmen still can't have frogmen tadpoles? Hm.
And we've actually moved backwards on the "using animal parts in reactions" front (now no bone).
I know we can put stuff in barrels, can we use stuff in barrels in reactions now?

Also, the food stockpiles still have a spot for "animal drinks". Is there a way to make all the animal BLOOD we keep getting traded qualify as this animal booze? Would it be a token to add in the "blood material" or would it require altering every animal we want to have useful blood?

[Grimlocke]

Dwarves have relsize (guess for what). You can use that tag with by_category, but probably also with by_type and by_token.

Frogmen should be able to reproduce, calling their children tadpoles. Not sure if they actualy do that ingame though.
Best we can do with the shell and bone thing is probabaly making a fake bone/shell material, or putting shells on animals and butchering those.
Reactions cant use anything but lye from containers.

And as for drinking blood, put edible_raw (or something) in the blood template and maybe itll work ;p

But if frogmen can walk on land, so can the tadpoles. This makes them not tadpoles.

My point was that last release I could make bone blocks, bone coins, and bone furniture. This release... nada.

Reactions cant use anything but lye from containers.

Dang. That means no custom kitchen reactions for "blood pudding".

And as for drinking blood, put edible_raw (or something) in the blood template and maybe itll work ;p

I'll have to check that out. thanks. Doubt that will make it a drink, but it may make it cookable.

[Grimlocke]

see this thread for some stuff on bone blocks. It should work.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57760.0

[Shaostoul]

Yeah, it seems we went a little backward in reactions, but that's cheating anyways ;P We did make a lot of progress in the general field of it though. Custom workshops being number one.

The new release is still being caught up to where 40d was. So you give it a bit of time and everything should be back to normal.

[Flaede]

see this thread for some stuff on bone blocks. It should work.
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57760.0

Your list of reactions there never said whether you'd tested them and had success. None of the ones from there that I tried worked, though I might not have been methodical enough about it.

Shaostoul: Hehe. "cheating"? I just want to mod in things like bone coins, and bone blocks to build bone castles out of. Not a even looking for a "gimme bones" reaction. And if some odd bug that lets dogs eat your masterwork bone scepter shows up, all the better!

I know we'll get back to normal eventually. After all, with bone reactions, they're already being done, we just don't know how! Dwarves do it, Umies do it. In the Crafting workshop.

[Shaostoul]

Yeah, but they are using bones as a reagent. Which I believe is entirely possible. The product is the difficult part.

If you want to make stuff out of bones, you could make a stone that doesn't show up any where and is named various bones or something and pretend. But we'll know it's not really bones. ;P

Anything beyond vanilla workings I consider cheating unless you balance it out fairly some how. IE requiring bones to build said block or w/e.

[ToaHero92]

Ok, Hey y'all in the Forums this is my 2nd post and I have some questions
1) How can I, or is it even possible, to make my dwarves(dwarfs?) never dies from falling a 100z level fall? I already have Adamantine skin and bones,& have set my healing rates all to 1(should it be 1 or 0?). Here are my dwarves(dwarfs?)

It's a bit lengthy. (sorry)

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.

Then back to some more body detail plans.

[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:1]
[LIGAMENTS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:1]

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


This controls the bleeding behavior.

      [MELTING_POINT:NONE]

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

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.

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]
[BODY_SIZE:200:0:20000000]

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.

These are as before.

Attack definitions are formatted as follows:

[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]

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

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.

[BABY:1]
[GENERAL_BABY_NAME:dwarven baby:dwarven babies]

[EQUIPS]
[CAVE_ADAPT]
[DIURNAL]

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.

Now we'll declare the specific castes.

The gender tag lets it know how breeding works.
[FEMALE]
[LITTERSIZE:1:90]
To add beards, put square brackets around the following:

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 we set the growth rate.  This will change the modifier (LENGTH) by 1 each day up to a maximum of 1000 from the start of the dwarf's life (early beards!) for as long as the dwarf is alive.  The format is (APP_MOD_RATE|<rate>|<scale>|<min>|<max>|<start year>|<start day>|<end year>|<end day>) where the final two tokens can be replaced by NO_END if the growth is to continue indefinitely.

2) I've removed all the drink, breathe ,etc tokens but my dwarves still go slower after going a year without alcohol  (I also removed the alcohol dependent tag) what can i do?

3) how can i increase the mating cycle in my animal (or dwarves?)

[Flaede]

Yeah, but they are using bones as a reagent. Which I believe is entirely possible. The product is the difficult part.

If you want to make stuff out of bones, you could make a stone that doesn't show up any where and is named various bones or something and pretend. But we'll know it's not really bones. ;P

Anything beyond vanilla workings I consider cheating unless you balance it out fairly some how. IE requiring bones to build said block or w/e.

Oh, of course! Don't use gimmie reactions. I never figured out a good reagent to make "mud blocks" in the last version, so I didn't use it. even though BRICKS would've been awesome. (I don't suppose MUD blocks are do-able in this version either?)

[Shaostoul]

Actual mud... no... again make a stone that shows up no where and pretend...

@ToaHero92
1-I believe that you can NOT make them that invincible.
2-Did you edit the raws before or after editing the dwarf entry?
3-How often it happens? I'm not too sure. You can make them have large litters though.
