Is there a way to made custom furniture into DF? Because I want to make a temple of sorts and without an alter it would just be a fancy room. All it has to is a piece of furniture with no special properties except maybe so you can't walk onto it like a statue.

[Katsuun]

No, furniture is hard-coded, I belive.

[Kumagoro]

Yes furniture is hard coded


You could just use tables or something

[Bloogonis]

cant you make furniture using reactions? they would have to be copies for the most part of an existing furniture item, but you can change its name, I think.

you could make a reaction that creates a statue called an altar, i think... i only just started moding recently so I'm not certain if a reaction called [REACTION:Create_Altar] would result in an item called an altar though

[G-Flex]

It doesn't matter what the reaction is called. Why should it?

[Neoadept]

It doesn't, but it does matter what you use as a material.

Here's what you do:

Make a custom stone called "altar" that doesn't occur naturally, like this:

Code: [Select]

[MATGLOSS_STONE:ALTAR]
[NAME:altar][COLOR:5:0:0][TILE:156]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'*']
[VALUE:20]If you want, you can add a dozen or so spaces after "altar", which will push the table part off screen, making the in game item look like it's just called "Altar".

Then you make a reaction at the smelter to produce it, like so:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_ALTAR]
[NAME:make altar]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TABLE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:ALTAR]
Congratulations, you can now produce altars at the smelter!  They are buildable as tables and can be used to designate rooms (only dining rooms, sadly, but you want people hanging around church as a meeting hall, right?)  You can even change the value of the stone if you want them to be expensive, which would also increase the room value.

There may be a few hiccups, but it should be almost exactly what you're looking for.

This method is adaptable to most kinds of furniture, so if anyone wants to use this in their own mods, go right ahead.

you'll probably want to bump up the value quite a bit, as the base altar table will have no quality modifiers.
