Any resource which explains the hierarchy of raws tokens?
« on: May 18, 2015, 06:30:32 am »

I'm working on a little modding tool and I'm finding that the most difficult part is understanding how tokens in the raws relate to each other. How do I know that [CASTE], for example, is a property of [CREATURE], and [MALE] and [FEMALE] are properties of [CASTE]? The indentation in the raws isn't consistent enough to programmatically deduce it from the files themselves in any practical and reliable way. Is there any resource accurate and kept up-to-date which fully documents which tokens are properties of which?

You mean you haven't seen the token lists yet?

I did see that, but it seems as though it's not very explicit. What does "special" mean? The formatting also is not consistent across pages describing the different tokens. I don't have time to enter all these relationships by hand, and the wiki looks bothersome to parse.

It looks pretty explicit to me - what exactly are you looking for that isn't present?

What does "special" mean?
In what context?

The great thing about the wiki is that anyone can edit it and fix problems like that...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I'm going to guess the various creature variation related tags.
