I apologize if this may have been answered before, I am/was unable to find a definitive answer to this question. Cave Crocodiles do not drop leather when slaughtered currently. I wish them to. How do i make this happen please? Hopefully without having to regen my current crocsplosion fort. Thank you for any information or advice.

Shouldn't crocodiles drop Scales? that would be the equivalent to raw hides.

In any case, if you want hides, you would need to change the raws. I quickly checked the cave crocodile raws on the Wikipedia and saw the following:

Code: [Select]

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:HAIR]
You would need to delete the 'remove_material:leather' and the 'remove_material:skin' in order to get your raw cave crocodile hide you can then turn into cave crocodile leather.
Not a 100% sure on that though.

Also, you need to change the raws in your save folder. Every generated world has it's own raws It should work with your savegame though.

Doesn't everyone have a pair of croc skin boots? <grin> thats what im looking to implement in my fortress, redroot dyed cloth shirts <think Star Trek>, leather pants, GCS silk socks and croc skin boots for everyone..... its a dream man, a dream <grin> its either that, or find some kind of rattlesnake type critter and use its skin for boots....i just happen to have a metric shitton of cave crocs runnin around waitin to grow up

Well simply removing the lines that got rid of skin and leather wouldn't work, since Crocs use SCALE in place of SKIN thus SCALE cannot be tanned unless you:

Leave in LEATHER (kill the REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER)
and add this to the [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE] IN the Creature:

[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:TAN_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LEATHER]

Code: [Select]

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:HAIR]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE]
                                 [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:TAN_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:LEATHER]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]

Alternatively, add [ITEMS_SCALED] to the scale material template. That'll make it count as a shell, allowing you to make boots, helms, and gauntlets out of scale at the craftsdwarf's workshop.

My apologies sir. this snippet of code simply replaces the entry thats already in the savegame raws, is that not correct? I am unsure what you mean when you state 'Leave in Leather (kill the REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER) line in your reply, it is already in there as far as i can see.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Code: [Select]

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:HAIR]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE]

Sorry I was going for the "This is where you drop the material_reaction_product

now croc scales can be tanned to make croc leather

EDIT:
that is what it should look like

[Hamek McEisenfaust]

Testing now sir. Have to wait for the little bastards to grow up so i don't kill my only male, accidentally, of course. Thank you.

* tested and found i DONT have to wait for them to grow up. Hatchlings give it as well..... YAY! Many thanks to you and yours.
