Is it possible to mod in armor that protects non-standard body parts suck as the neck or tail? Or for that matter armor for a user-created body part?

[Eagle0600]

From the examples of other raw files, it should be. But I when I look at the clothing I find that it is, in fact, hard-coded. Someone else might know more about the issue than me, but it looks impossible from here.

Your bodyparts can be protected if they are somehow attached to upper/lowerbody (they should be). [UBSTEP:#] and
[LBSTEP:#] govern it, where # indicates "how far" is it protected.

[UBSTEP:1] makes all parts attached to upper body to be protected, [UBSTEP:2] makes all parts attached to upperbody and all parts attached to those parts to be protected. Et cetera, the more - the further will protection go.
Same with lower body.

Exception is HEAD, which should get it's own helmet. I don't think that it's possible to protect something that grows on head though, so if your creature has some limbs on it's head it's not possible to make an armor for them (or maybe they all will be protected by helmet, I don't know how it works, you should ask Toady).

If you want to protect your tail: with any armor with [LBSTEP:1] if your tail grows from the lowerbody it's protected as well as legs (i.e. leggings do it). If you have a neck on upperbody (standard creatures' neck is attached to head) then any armor which protects upper arms protects it.

If I remember correctly, then if you have a high enough upstep on body armor then it will protect the head and things attached to it though.
