Tree and Trees are Tree and Trees when they stand up. Once cut down they turn into plank and planks. So that should fix that up.
Now, my quest takes the path of removing unused bodyparts and probably hair, beards etc from the dwarves.

Anyone have a insight into the difference between body_deafult och body_rcp?

[Dr. Melon]

This would be useful as a "barebones mod template" that people could download and build total-conversion mods from.

Yes it would. 

I don't know what body_rcp is for,  I've looked around and haven't been able to find an answer.  When I create custom body parts, I always duplicate them there using the same naming scheme used in the vanilla raws, but its just mimicry.  I have no idea if its necessary or useful to do so.

TheSpaceMan, seeing as a lot of people are liking this idea. I suggest you do two things. Release a version when you believe you got the game to about as minimum as you can get it and then the version you were shooting for.

Grandiose (read crazy) thoughts...

Maybe a modpack(dif-pack?) (like a Linux application repo) could be build from it, using the bare build as a base and adding "Dwarf Fortress" default settings to it and other modders can choose to build off that (making it required) or build their own specifications.  Then people could toggle on or off feature mods they like.

Mods could be tied to versions and the mod would launch the appropriate DF (if it was available) with the supported mods enabled.

Releasing the mod barebone for use in a total conversion was part of the plan.

I have considered throwing together a SVN repository containing the data as well.
It's easier to keep track of changes and errors that way since it's possible to see what files and chages have been done between versions.

This being said, I am quite new to moding DF in any larger scale so this will have to go one step at a time. Already had to undo lots of changes once because i just generated a world without errors but never tried to start a fortress.

Now it's time to sleep. Might poke around a bit more and see what i did wrong tomorrow.

[Flaede]

did this plan die? did you finish?
I was hoping to use this mod to understand the raws a bit better myself.
