Tell Me How This Looks
« on: August 17, 2008, 01:42:37 am »

Can anyone see anything in there that I should change? Also, any suggestions for my next project? Maybe I could add some of the specific breeds, so instead of war dogs you could bring some good ol' Rottweilers or Golden Retrievers.

I'm pretty sure I've already saw a mod with different types of dogs so you may use search.
On topic... Try to add [SPEED:700] and [NARROW] for flavor =).

Thanks. Also, how do I make it so I can bring them upon embark? It won't let me, I have even tried genning a new world and transferring the whole thing to the text file with dogs and horses and such.

Also here is a plant I made.

Code: [Select]
[MATGLOSS_PLANT:CAVE_ONION]
[TILE:6][COLOR:5:0:0]
[NAME:onion][NAME_PLURAL:onions]
[GROWDUR:200][VALUE:2]
[SEEDNAME:cave onion seeds][SEED:6:0:1]
[GENPOWER:2]
[SPRING][SUMMER][AUTUMN][WINTER]
[FREQUENCY:100]
[CLUSTERSIZE:5]
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]
[EDIBLE_RAW]
[PREFSTRING:repelling stench]
[WET][DRY][BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER]

It was my first attempt at a plant, as was the small dog a first attempt at a creature. Tell me how that plant looks to please, thanks.

Another new plant. Tell me how this one looks.

[MATGLOSS_PLANT:CAVE_AGAVE]
   [TILE:158][COLOR:2:0:0]
   [NAME:cave agave plant][NAME_PLURAL:cave agave plants]
   [DRINK:dwarven tequila:7:0:1]
   [LEAVES:3]
   [DRINKVALUE:3]
   [GROWDUR:150]
   [SPRING][SUMMER]
   [FREQUENCY:100]
   [SEEDNAME:cave agave seeds][SEED:1:0:0]
   [CLUSTERSIZE:5]
   [PREFSTRING:dwarven tequila]
   [WET][DRY][BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_WATER]

Also, do you think a 1:12 damage counter for a piranhas bite attack is too high? Is a 6:6 for a chew attack too high also, because I added both?

Depends. 1:12 is usually considered really high. Damage scales with size (I think), which is why an elephant or dragon can wreck up your fortress with 1:6. 6:6 is reasonable if you want a consistently strong attack.

I want piranhas to be able to deal a TON of damage, enough to like gnaw a leg off or something.

As far as I know, 1:12 will blow your dwarves into pieces small enough to fit in a thimble.
