I am currently making a few modifications to a mod I found called Deon's Wasteland Mod (Which, don't worry, I am going to give to him when I am done) which puts DF into a post-apocalyptic landscape. This is my first (and hopefully not last!) modification I have made.
Here are the raws for one of the creatures.
[CREATURE:HELCIOPTER]
[DESCRIPTION:Before the world went to hell, these were used to fly people everywhere.]
[NAME:helicopter:helicopters:helicopterian]
[CASTE_NAME:helicopter:helicopters:helicopterian]
[CREATURE_TILE:56][COLOR:3:0:0]
[DOES_NOT_EXIST]
[MANNERISM_HEAD:cockpit]
[MANNERISM_EYES:windows]
[MANNERISM_UPPERBODY:body]
[FANCIFUL]
[PREFSTRING:forever lost nature ]
[POWER]
[CAN_SPEAK]
[APP_MOD_IMPORTANCE]
[FLIER]
Confused? I'll explain.
Basically, you know engraving? I think that, in this mod, you can engrave images of the past world. Helicopters are just one of the first images I have made. Plus, whole religions could be made about helicopters, which I would love to see. "Church of the holy helicopter"!
Anyway, down to business. I haven't located a suitable modding tutorial, so basically...Anything wrong with my fabled helicopter? Or at least the code? Just tell me what's wrong, what to do instead or how to improve it, then I'll just do what you said and be on my merry way.
P.S I hope to god this isn't the bay12 forums equivalent of screwing up breathing!
