So question/s:
Just how far can we "abuse" the PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC attribute token? Is it still limited by the default max values?

Still trying to think up ways to bring back the power and glory of the "good 'ol days" of the past DF versions where Dwarves can hammer Trolls & Goblins several hills away. Though it is still hard to make targets fly painfully even with some syndrome effects & buffs, with everything getting close to some sort of fantasy "realism" grounded physics and such.

Any other ideas beside magically enlarging a dorf's fist to giant size with great weight?  (Though even that won't work since the dwarf is still within default strength & size parameters)

[Tirion]

Probably been asked, but I can't find it- How do I patch Dwarf Therapist to recognise castes?

So far as I can tell, a creatures needs a strength (heretofore referred to as "power level" because I can) of ~8000 to knock creature away even one tile. A power level of 250000 could do good things.

I'm fairly certain the DT zipped up with Deon's Genesis mod is already patched. Other then that my suggestion would be to ask over in the Dwarf Therapist thread.

Thanks...with that "little strength buff", I was able to throw a Troll unto the arena wall with an Elf sized creature. Mostly uninjured and just stunned, but it's the path that I'm going for.

Hm, I should really just check out your DBZ mod and study it directly huh?

[Putnam]

Nah, I've changed the DBZ mod so that the super saiyan transformations are based on body size anyway, mainly because super saiyan 3 literally made their strength value overflow

I'm having some trouble with interactions.  What I am currently doing is having zombie plague transmitted from wild zombies to the player civ by injectable syndrome, this portion is tested and working correctly, however I also want these new zombies to be able to further infect people with zombie plague.  For this I am attempting to use a syndrome, as far as I can tell you can't use CE_ADD to add new attacks (or any token that needs additional arguments).  Thus I am granting the newly made zombies the ability to create further zombies through an interaction and it is here that I am stuck.

My errorlog is reporting: "Interaction Token not recognized : ZPLAGUE", in the creature file.

I did a search but can't say I found a clear answer to a little problem.

Basically I would like to make a custom workshop that would allow dwarves to craft Weapons and armors in sizes that are used for other civilizations, without adding these items
to the normal dwarven workshop. (At the moment only Humans, but if one would add Giants and other sentients it should be possible to make armor and weapons for their sizes as well but that would probably need "Giant Longsword" / "Giant Studded Leather Armor" modding etc.

Is there currently a way to do this? I guess someone allready might have done it but my search didnt give me a good answer to this.

[Putnam]

Nope, not possible.

@Destroid:
Do you have the interaction file in the right place? I know that several people have gotten this exact same error because they accidentally stuck their interaction file into the "interaction examples" folder instead of into the actual raws itself.

It's in the objects folder with all the other raws.

What dictates the number of offspring that a non-egg-layer has, other than [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]? It seems like the LITTERSIZE tag is no longer in use.

Like he said it can't be done that way,  but since the dwarves crafted all the best weapons/armor/ships in mythology I made mine average to about the same size as humans, while still varying less than humans in size.  Also I saw a drawing made by vikings, which had a dwarf and a viking the same height.

What all can be specified by SELECT_SYMBOL in entities?
Vanilla indicates that ROAD, WALL, TUNNEL, BRIDGE, SITE, CIV, WAR, BATTLE, SIEGE, REMAINING, and ALL are valid arguments.
I have tested and found that NAME works as well, applying to person names but also to site names (other things require more testing).
I would like to test:
SQUAD
ARMY
ENEMY
ARTIFACT
PERSON
SURNAME

The last I checked, LITTERSIZE still works despite not being used by any vanilla creature, but that was some versions ago.  Have you verified that the LITTERSIZE tag no longer works?
