Creating shells
« on: January 07, 2011, 01:48:06 am »

Right. I've never delved into modding up to this point, but I seem to be in dire need of learning how to create a new reaction - maybe for a fishery, to create shells on a map where none exist. It's the only thing I can think of that I am missing from a mood.

Can someone enlighten me as to how to accomplish this feat?

Not sure about just the shell, but
[PRODUCT:100:1:FISH_RAW:NONE:TURTLE:NONE]
should give you a turtle you can rip the carapace off.

Thanks. With that, I made some turtles - and apparently the possessed dwarf was after some fresh horse bone, instead. Sigh. but at least now I know how to emergency-mod a raw now!

I heard someone modded cats to have shells.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

Well, I heard it too. But I think the cat will drop a useless shell. Maybe because turtle is vermin?

I solve this problem by adding the [SHELL] token to the material definitions for horn and hoof.  This allows hooves and horns from butchering an animal to be used as a shell for strange moods.

I always do the same as Sphalerite--I add [SHELL] to horns, hooves, and scales, which is more useful than adding shells to creatures that don't have them because apparently it works better without needing a regen (read that adding shells to creatures that didn't have them without a regen can lead to crashes.)  I added it to scales because at the time that I most needed shells, my refuse pile was absolutely full of dead crundles, so it was an easy source hehe.

Of course, the moody dwarf still went crazy, because "he likes turtle shell."  : P
