The blocks work now. I'm just getting an "unknown material block pillar" when I build with it. Close enough

...?

That's odd.

What's your reaction product line look like?

[WillowLuman]

Is there a way to ensure every attack "passes right through" on a given body part?

[Putnam]

Give that part special tissues with the FEATHER shape.

[WillowLuman]

Will that protect from blunt as well as edge attacks?

[scamtank]

Yeah, but it might be only those two. Compressive force (strangling) definitely still hits them, possibly bending (joint lock) and stretching (shaking around) too.

[WillowLuman]

Testing shows that blunt attacks still hit but edged go right through, unless the tissue is gaseous, in which case all attacks still hit.

EDIT: I've got it! I'll simply give the incorporeal parts no material whatsoever! It creates an error message, but that's a small price to pay.

Hi guys,

I've made a few civs and they work fine, but at the moment they are a bit hard to see because the creature tile they use shows up in gray-scale for standard creatures and a variant colour depending on a soldiers job (ie archers are showing up green etc). I'm modding Masterwork, and using the Phoebus tileset.
As my new civs are all humans too, i'm trying to make the standard human creature tiles/sprites work for my modded civs, but currently they just won't work. Even when I name my civs creature tile and soldier tile to be the same as the tiles the standard human raws use.
I've been using the arena to test quickly if that is relevant.

I don't know how to deal with graphics/tilesets just yet, so can someone help me please?

[Putnam]

You're looking for graphics, not tiles. Go into the raw/graphics folder and see what humans are using.

[TheOnlySolitaire]

Thank you Putnam,
I found the files I think I need to use, do I just need to make a copy of the graphics_phoebus_humans.txt and rename the relevant parts to something else to stop it from duplicating?

Otherwise, what would I need to do?
Because they all have a structure like so :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[STANDARD:PHOEBUS_H:1:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

and I don't know how to make head nor tail of that with regards to making my new civs use the desired sprites.
I do apologise if this is elementary stuff, I don't know how to mod graphics yet.

[Putnam]

Grab a vanilla copy of DF and check its graphics example txt; it gives a tutorial on what it all means.

How do I make paralysis actually paralyze and not just "you feel sluggish"

[scamtank]

Massive symptom magnitude? Stop it from getting diluted by size or germ resistance?

[Putnam]

add NOBREATH alongside the paralysis?

[WillowLuman]

Also, how long does it take for paralysis to suffocate a creature?

[scamtank]

Ages. Same as strangulation.
