can joint part given tissue layer and material ?
« on: March 02, 2017, 04:06:58 am »
is joint a hardcode ?
if not, can someone help me example of modding hard material into creature joint ? i just dont like the joint part getting smashed open so easily in my creature, but i want the creature still have joint part.
i try giving like this to the creature:

        [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:JOINT:JOINT_TEMPLATE]
        [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:JOINT:JOINT_TEMPLATE]

i also have put it in body detail and pretty much copy paste tissue and material template from cartilage only i change it to be harder than adamantine and bigger size yet its still manage to be smashed open in testing like nothing change.
 so i wonder is it hardcode or im doing wrong with it, since error file not show anything wrong in my modification.

That's not how joint tissues are specified.  Joints are given tissues in the body detail plan.  They typically get whatever you specify for tissues 3 and 4 in vertebrate_tissue_layers.

can you show me the example ? i really dont get what you mean the tissue 3 and 4 since i cant found where the tissue order is mean for what tissue.
but i found the arg3 and arg4 in it (which i understand as token for inner tissue after looking at wiki) do you mean i should change it to 100 ?
like this ?
   [BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:JOINT:ARG4:100:ARG3:100]
or something like this ? to give them the tissue (this is what i see in the nerve and other organ)
   [BP_LAYERS:BY_CATEGORY:JOINT:JOINT:4:ARG4:4:ARG3:1]

or do you mean like this ? in the creature ?

        [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:JOINT:ARG4]
        [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:JOINT:ARG3]

i also do this
        [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:ARG4:JOINT_TEMPLATE]
        [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:ARG4:JOINT_TEMPLATE]
        [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:ARG3:JOINT_TEMPLATE]
        [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:ARG3:JOINT_TEMPLATE]

so far as i see it look like nothing change the creature ankle and wrist and such still broken when fighting.
i also try giving sinew, muscle, nerve, and cartilage with adamantine hardness so far the muscle and such is fine though it mostly bruising but still getting twisting joint.

The thing that makes joints break like a moist biscuit is their fairly small bodypart size, and that the body materials all have the same, fairly low resistance to the damage that joint hits use.

I modded them with increased joint sizes :

Spoiler:  in body_default.txt (click to show/hide)


And by increasing the tensile, torsion and bending yield and fracture rates:

Spoiler: in material_template_default, in the MUSCLE, SKIN, FAT and SINEW materials (click to show/hide)

So, no need to insert and adamantine joints, though that would certainly do the job as well.
