Does the [ARMORLEVEL] control the level of protection in some manner, or is it simply for categorization purpose like Is Clothing, or a dorf deciding if something is a Partial Match for it's uniform?

It's for categorization purposes only.

1. Multiple Transformations: How do they work?

2. Megabeasts with aquatic / underground / good / evil / savage tags, do they respect them?

3. Friendly animated corpses that do not frighten civilians. Or just friendly animated corpses... possible, and if yes, what is the interaction for it?

4. Stupid question: How to change the name/color/state (liquid/gas) of creature blood, but still allow them to bleed to death? (I replaced some things a while ago, with oil/hydraulic fluid, but the constructs wont bleed to death anymore)

1) I believe you can just throw a second syndrome that causes the second transformation (or maybe potentially a second transformation within the same syndrome but that stats at a later TIME:X, but I haven't done any actual testing on it myself to know if that actually works or if it's all just rumors.

2)I don't believe so.

3)The thing that makes undead hostile is the adding of the OPPOSED_TO_LIFE token (or CRAZED) in the event of husks/thralls. If you just copy the basic raise interaction and then make it not add that token, your undead will function identical to how they did in life. Whether or not this will cause dwarves to be unafraid of friendly creatures or if fear of the undead is hardcoded I don't know.

4)I believe you just define your material and then have [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:"material name":"blood state (liquid, solid, etc.)"].

How much time do dwarves usually spend before getting tired?

[Joben]

Why doesn't my building appear in the workshop build menu?

The most obvious thing is covered. I genned a new world

[i2amroy]

Did you enable the building in the dwarven entity? ([PERMITTED_BUILDING:SLING_MAKER]?)

[Joben]

*head smack* That's probbably it.

I was vaugely aware of the purpose of that file but hadn't cracked it open yet. This if my first attempt to add stuff.

At least you got the file headers right, I can't even start to count the number of times people have forgotten to put the "building_xxxx" or [OBJECT:BUILDING] lines at the top.

And welcome to the world of DF modding, as with everything DF, if you ever have a question feel free to post and somebody is usually around to answer your question.

[Joben]

Thanks that worked.

Is it possible to organize custom reactions into submenus, the way things are in the metalsmith's forge for example? I can't find anything about that on the wiki, just how to set the workshop and a single shortcut key.

I don't believe so, no.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Does the interaction system work mainly the same as it's predcessor in 31.25? Mainly, can a creature select from two interactions for an attack?

[Deon]

It can, and you can also give it a hint when to use the interaction (otherwise they won't use it).

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Damn. That explains why my megabeast won't fight back with it's interaction. Thanks.

[Deon]

Just add [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK] if you want it to attack with it, or [CDI:USAGE_HINT:FLEEING] if you want some effect like speeding up or casting smoke/invisibility when they run away. A creature with NOFEAR won't flee though.
