Is there a raw I can change in order to increase the frequency in which I embark on top of iron ores? If so, what parts of the file do I change and what do I change it to?

I'm not really a modder, I just want to stop embarking on top of Tin and Nickel...

[Meph]

Go to the inorganic_stone_mineral, search for every entry that has this line: [METAL_ORE:IRON:100] and then raise the occurence. You can find it here: [ENVIRONMENT:something:VEIN:100]

Replace it with [ENVIRONMENT:ALL_STONE:VEIN:100] and you have a lot more iron.

Looking at [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:WERECURSE]

...can we define our own Syndrom Classes somehow? Or do our syndromes have to conform to a list someplace?

[Demonic Gophers]

Does anyone know an interaction that will cover a creature with a coating of water?  I'm hoping to use it both to clean off other contaminants and to resist damage from fire.

[trees]

Has anyone done any testing with this yet? From the mummy's disturbance curse.

I have not been able to make [IT_FORBIDDEN:X] work at all. Does it only work on certain tags? Am I putting it in the wrong place?

Code: [Select]

[I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:ANT_MAN:QUEEN]

I think what is supposed to happen in that case is that a creature with the NOFEAR tag will be unable to use the interaction, but I gave the caste both that interaction and the NOFEAR tag and it could use it fine.

[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?

A creature with the NOFEAR tag will be unable to be TARGETED by the interaction.
SELF_ONLY targeting probably doesn't check that.

[UltraValican]

Why is this crashing the game?

SELF_ONLY targeting probably doesn't check that.

That's it! Although it appears to be a "little from column A, little from column B" situation. NOFEAR and SUPERNATURAL worked, but STERILE didn't for some reason. Now, two follow-up questions.

1) Does anybody know what the SUPERNATURAL tag controls? I only used it because it was on this list and didn't seem obviously important.

2) What am I doing wrong here?

Code: [Select]

[INTERACTION:PRE_QUEEN_EVOLUTION]
[I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
[I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]

[IE_TARGET:A]
[IE_IMMEDIATE]
[SYNDROME]
[CE_ADD_TAG:SUPERNATURAL:START:1:END:100]

This should give the creature a syndrome that bestows the SUPERNATURAL tag for a certain amount of time. I can tell it does not because I used this, then used the other interaction that should fail if it is present. In theory, if I can get this to work I can force a creature to wait months before they can use the transformation interaction, thereby simulating a complex caterpillar->butterfly life cycle.

[Ieb]

It's nce to crawl back here after that hilaaaarious last post.
Turns out, I didn't think of making an interaction txt file on the objects folder, hur hur i so crazy

Anyway. While doing SCIENCE I'm getting somewhere, but fieldtesting a bite-converting semimegabeastie has turned up a thing where the game ends up crashing when you try to view the converted creature. There's nothing wrong with the actual converter, that one can be viewed just fine. Is there something wrong with how arena handles converted targets or is this horrible code to blame?

[A Spoony Bard]

So I decided that I would try a little modding with this newest version. I decided to do a Dragon Quest themed mod, and decided that, for some arbitrary reason, I wanted the slimes to be a civilization of clever assholes, so I made them export berries that turn whoever eats them into a slime, will the following raws work?

also, is it possible to make the syndrome exclude slimes, so they don't turn into themselves after eating their own berries?
also, will these raws work to make the creature made of a fat like material:

[Prologue]

Since this was ignored I'll ask this again:

I want to remove all the stones in the game and make a generic type. What reaction should I make so that I don't lose any items? The reaction will be free and be given to other civs so I'm limited to trade them instead of making them.

I already have a list: metals, gypsum powder and gems. Am I missing anything else?

Also we all know that in some biomes, it rains blood. Is it possible to mod a syndrome in the blood? (Yes I know blood is random, but I still want to know if it's possible.)

[trees]

         [CE:CREATURE:WEREPYRE:DEFAULT]

Is the werepyre a casteless creature? Only thing that sticks out to me.

Also we all know that in some biomes, it rains blood. Is it possible to mod a syndrome in the blood? (Yes I know blood is random, but I still want to know if it's possible.)

If you give goblin blood a contact syndrome, and it rains goblin blood, your dwarves will be affected by the syndrome when stepping in the puddles of goblin blood.

I'm really not sure what you're asking about for the first thing. If you just want there to be one layer stone, just remove all but one of them. You don't have to do anything with reactions for that.

[Prologue]

Basically I want to remove all the stones, including flux and gems. If I do this it'll be impossible to find gems or make metals. I'm trying to make a custom reaction to fix these problems. I'm asking if I missed any other ones.
