Please help me mod the raws!
« on: February 19, 2012, 02:40:04 pm »

So, just upgraded to 34.02 now that Phoebus is out.

Anyway, i wanna make some changes to the raws, before making a new world.

1. No aquifers at all.
2. Allow butchering and consumption.

What else would be a good idea to mod in, and how do i mod these things in?

mod in the abbility to fart fireballs, only on the race you plan to use. also i think it would be easyer to get a reply asking in the mapping/modding part of the forums.

"Engraved on the wall is a masterful depiction of a human by Logrin.  The artwork relates to Xotano Beastblood The Everseeing Dwelling of Clouds the human vampire recruiting some new human shields companions after his encounter with Ral Firewealthy the Warm Flicker the dragon, during which his face was melted off."

300 human/elf/dwarf/goblin/kobold bodies 20 random animal/fish/bird bodies and 3 dragon bodies all in one backpack. fun stuff.

Okay, Aquifers.
1.Search "aquifer" in the objects folder.
2.Open eaach.txt that shows as a result and go to the replace all menu
3.Replace aquifer with nothing.
4.Repeat till there are no search results.
5.????
6.Enjoy your aquifer free world.

1.  To quote the wiki on removing aquifers:
Text editor (All operating systems)

Find the files in Dwarf Fortress/raw/objects (new world) or Dwarf Fortress/data/save/regionNN/raw/objects (already saved world).

Open the three files with a text editor (e.g. Notepad). (inorganic_stone_layer.txt, inorganic_stone_mineral.txt, and inorganic_stone_soil.txt)

Use Edit->Replace, and replace [AQUIFER] with (AQUIFER). (Use 'Replace All').

To restore the tags later, do the same in reverse. (Replacing (AQUIFER) with [AQUIFER]).

2.  Butchering and consumption is already possible in all modes, except for sentient creatures.  If you want allow that, go into entity_default, and make sure your chosen race has:
   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:ACCEPTABLE]
   [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE]
(They'll already have those lines, more or less, but you'll have to change them so that they say ACCEPTABLE)

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule
