Hey folks.

I was thinking that undead are bit OP at the moment, and want to tweak them.

I found these lines in interaction_disturbance.txt

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:EXAMPLE D RAISE]
[I_TARGET:A:CORPSE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_ITEM]
[IT_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[IT_REQUIRES:FIT_FOR_ANIMATION]
[IT_FORBIDDEN:NOT_LIVING]
[IT_MANUAL_INPUT:corpses]
[I_EFFECT:ANIMATE]

[CE_REMOVE_TAG:HAS_BLOOD:TRANCES:LIKES_FIGHTING:MISCHIEVOUS:START:0]
I also found a similar entry in interaction_secret.txt. I am not sure about the difference between the two files. I was thinking about adjusting the CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE to lower the strength and toughness a bit. However I see that this code is labeled as an example, so I imagine editing it won't do anything for adventure/dwarf mode.

Is there anyway to mod undead that appear in world gen by modifying this code?


Thanks.

Not with that code, no. They're strictly examples, meant to show off how the system works. The actual things that matter are stuck inside Dwarf Fortress.exe.

There's a way to get at those values, but it requires this bit of external software to replace a text string hidden in the .exe's innards.

Thanks, is there a tutorial somewhere on using these materials?

[scamtank]

Not really, seeing how we're misusing translation software after all. Here's the original thread, skip to the bottom of the first page.

Once you get a grip on things, stick this line into the template file. I personally changed the zombies/husks to only get 1.2x + 300 strength and 2x + 400 toughness instead of triple + 1000 for each.

Code: [Select]

|[CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE:STRENGTH:300:1000:TOUGHNESS:300:1000:START:0]|[CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE:STRENGTH:120:300:TOUGHNESS:200:400:START:0]|

You can also totally disable undead from the worldgen and then manually mod them as you wish.

The undead was always powerful. But after you get to a high skill, they become pushovers.
