Asking this again:

What parts of necromancers are still hardcoded?  I didn't see any tags for going off and forming their own side (towers), or that they have legions of undead as their minions.

[Arek]

Another question:
Anyone figured out, how to make custom-made wizards take aprentices/write books?

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Does anybody know the tag for happiness/unhappiness? I want a good rain that causes elation in its victims.
EDIT:Also, I'm trying to make affected creatures emit a syndrome that does the above(without changing the creature itself). Any ideas on how to do this?

Sorry for reposting, but I feel like many people's questions are being ignored.

There's no way to adjust happiness via a syndrome.

Another question:

Code: (from necromancer example) [Select]

[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RESEARCH_POSSIBLE]
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_TEACHING_POSSIBLE]
[IS_SECRET:MUNDANE_RECORDING_POSSIBLE:objects/text/book_instruction.txt:objects/text/secret_death.txt]
If you already have that, try lowering the number of random secrets generated in advanced world parameters.

People aren't going to respond if they don't know the answer.
That said, there is no way to affect happiness.

To restate a previous unanswered question, does anyone know how can I make it so beings that are not humans or dwarfs will become necromancers with towers and such?

As far as I can tell, they just have to be a member of a civilization with an active reason to seek immortality out.  Elves and goblins don't because they're already immortal.
The creatures/entity I modded in just do.

What about Kobolds? They have more need of immortality than anyone.

Well, knowing what tokens affect that would be very handy, i just went through the entity_default.txt and nothing noteworthy in dwarf or human jumped out...but elves can already be members of those civs, so i think it's in the creature def's.

Possibly it's [MAXAGE:XXX:YYY] - only dwarves, humans, kobolds (they live 1000 years!) have this defined out of the regular entity races. Also, kobolds have [CANLEARN] but not [INTELLIGENT]

Try setting [MAXAGE] for elves/goblins and [INTELLIGENT] for kobolds, see if you get necromancers of those races.

[Jay]

Kobolds don't have the implied CAN_SPEAK of INTELLIGENT, just UTTERANCES, which doesn't provision for a written language.  Ergo, they can't.

Actually kobold's have [MAXAGE:150:170] (same as a dwarf). Of course, since they are kobolds I doubt it matters much for their actual lifespan...

Anyway, I added [INTELLIGENT] to kobolds and replaced their [UTTERANCES] with [CAN_SPEAK], but still no towers.
There are also no noticalbe results from adding a MAXAGE to elves and goblins (though I did give them very long lifespans...)


[edit:]
In unrelated news, you can make immobile creatures and then have your dwarfs put them in a pasture, so turret creatures are possible.

After some testing with secrets I've concluded that to make a tower and get apprentices (because they always go to the tower) the secret must give some way to animate the dead. I tried a bunch of duplicate necromancy secrets with and without the animation. I then put animation for secrets that didn't originally make towers or take apprentices. They did after adding it. To test further I gave them the ability for 1 tick to see if they'd build a tower anyway, and they didn't.
To conclude: For a Secret Learner to build a tower they must be able to animate (not resurrect) the dead.

Does anyone know how a dwarf with the interaction to raise the dead acts ? Will he activly run around in fortress mode, resurrecting your refuse stockpile? Will raised creatures be friendly, or do they keep their old alliances ? (goblin corpse = hostile, horse corpse = tame pet)  Of course you would remove the [OPPOSED TO LIFE] tag first.

Animated pets without OPPOSED_TO_LIFE are friendly but scare dwarves and dwarves scare them, same without NOT_LIVING. If they get true resurrection they move about perfectly fine (if they survive ten seconds). I saw a dwarf lose a pet to tragedy, and adopt that same pet once it was raised. Dwarfs also come back fine from true resurrection.

DP For new content.
Seems I was too hasty to dismiss transformation upon resurrection as how to do it hit me like a storm after the above post.

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:UDVRAISE]
[I_TARGET:A:CORPSE]
[IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_ITEM]
[IT_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0:END:1]
[CE:CREATURE:BIRD_CROW:MALE]Seems to apply the change to the resurrected creature. I'd thought that the effect would have to be ADD_SYNDROME. I was wrong
