Large Address Aware.

Note that this only works on the Windows version of DF. Mac and Linux versions should already use the same amount of RAM as the LAA version does.

Large Address Aware.

When I try to use large address aware, Dwarf Fortress says that the index file is missing even though it's quite clearly there.

Syndrome question, can I attach a syndrome to a material?

And if so... say I have a metal that has a syndrome that effects a set of enemies, the syndrome is contact, if an enemy is hit with it, will it take effect? Or does that still not work?

As I recall it didn't work very well, or at all, back when I last tried my hand at this stuff.

[Meph]

Yes you can give a metal a syndrome, but it will not trigger on contact. There are only two ways to do that. Ammo that is made of a metal that melts at body temperature.. if the bolt/arrow gets stuck in the enemy, it will melt, and the creature will be affected by the syndrome.

Way easier: Use the SPATTER_ADD plugin of dfhack. Both Genesis and Masterwork use it to coat weapons with materials that have syndromes. These always take affect when a target is hit, and you can coat weapons, traps or ammo. To see how it is done, simply check the dfhack readme, or my mod raws for the toxicist or runesmith. Both use the same system.

[Seriyu]

Hmmmmmm, I'll look into it, thank yah!

[darkrider2]

I've been rolling around producing my own body parts in the body_default raw file, and I have a question which the wiki doesn't seem to be too specific about.

with the CONTYPE and CON_CAT tokens, it say it "Connects the body part to all other body parts having the specified CATEGORY/TYPE"

So does that mean if there are multiple body parts of the category RIGHT_ARM_LOWER and I set a body part to CON_CAT:RIGHT_ARM_LOWER it will produce multiple body parts each connected to a respective part of that category? Or does it mean that it will connect a singular part to ALL parts of that category, effectively fusing them together?

I'll provide some code to make it a little easier to understand. Specifically this bit.

Code: [Select]

[BODY:FOUR_ARMS]
[BP:RUA:right upper arm:STP][CATEGORY:RIGHT_ARM_UPPER][LIMB][RIGHT][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:RLA:right lower arm:STP][CATEGORY:RIGHT_ARM_LOWER][LIMB][RIGHT][CON:RUA]

[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]
[BP:LLA2:left lower arm:STP][CATEGORY:LEFT_ARM_LOWER][LIMB][LEFT][CON:LUA2]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:400]

Code: [Select]

[BODY:HUMAN_HANDS]
[BP:RHAND:right hand:STP][CATEGORY:RIGHT_HAND][GRASP][RIGHT][CON_CAT:RIGHT_ARM_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:LHAND:left hand:STP][CATEGORY:LEFT_HAND][GRASP][LEFT][CON_CAT:LEFT_ARM_LOWER]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
Would this code produce a creature with four hands as intended or just two hands?

[Putnam]

It'll connect one to each part, like with all the other ones, I'm pretty sure.

[Seriyu]

Okay, another load of questions.

One, one of my creatures has no tissue thickness, and as such all attacks pass through it. I've fiddled with too many values and tags and such in body templates and such to count and nothing seems to work. The most I've managed to get is the fat, muscle, and skin layers to vanish, and crash DF in the process somehow.

Yes, tissue layers is entirely empty, the creature is a floating ball of gas so it didn't really have any tissue to speak of. But now that I require tissue layers for it to actually make contact, I'm okay with just adding skin tissue layers or whatever, so it can do things and be killed. I'm okay with it dying in one hit and in fact expect it to, so don't worry about that. :P

Luckily the next two are far less involved.

Two, is there any way to make bites more deadly? I'd like a human sized creature to be severing limbs and hands and such with it's bites, my initial fiddling (raising CONTACT_PERC on it's bite attack) seemed to make it less deadly, in fact.

Three, semi related, will giving the creature some set wrestling skill make it's bites more deadly?

Fourth, I lied, there's a fourth one, I have an interaction that inflicts pain on the head (thanks again to ya'll for helping me figure out localized syndromes), it's at severity 1000, and it still does only slight pain. Is there a way to increase the potency?

Thanks in advance, yet again.

[Ultimuh]

Is it possible to make a creature turn into a husk or something when a certain bodypart is broken or gone?

[Putnam]

Ultimuh: Yes, with a layer of stuffs under the bottom layer that causes husking.

Seriyu: 1. UB isn't a type, it's a token. You want BY_TOKEN.
You don't have any tissues. You need those. It's pretty clear, though, that you need only one: GAS.

Code: [Select]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GAS:GAS_TEMPLATE]
[TISSUE:GAS]
[TISSUE_NAME:gas:gas]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:GAS]
[MUSCULAR]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[STRUCTURAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:GAS]
That should fix it.

2. Increase velocity as well as contact perc and penetration perc. Just increase all of them. Velocity can be increased with the ATTACK_VELOCITY_MODIFIER token. 1000 is the default.

3. No, but biting skill will make it more accurate.

4. Increase severity?

Just put that in your

[Seriyu]

Ahah! And can severity go above 1000? The wiki says 1000 is the max, but I guess it might be out of date, I'll give it a shot. Thank yah yet again!

EDIT: Yep, raising the severity seems to help out, although it doesn't seem to be doing a whole lot irregardless. Might have to rethink the interaction.

[Putnam]

The wiki says 1000 is the max

No it doesn't. Where'd you see that?

[Seriyu]

Oh. No it doesn't, my mistake. Maybe I got it confused with the probability.

[laularukyrumo]

Wait. Probability is out of 1000 and not out of 100?

That's interesting.

[i2amroy]

Wait. Probability is out of 1000 and not out of 100?

That's interesting.

Not it's not. Probability is out of 100, not 1000.
