Thanks for the quick response. What about a workaround like having a certain quality of reagent be required allowing for skill to be factored into the crafting of the reagent? Probably not, but I'm grasping at straws here. Lol

I'd try having a prerequisite reaction, that outputs some item (eg. "little architect set toy") 5% of the time. Then the high-quality crafting would require an input of N units of the some item.

ps. Do you like these dwarven toys?

They look fine, but i'd be careful naming anything "cup" that way you don't confuse "larch cup" (a goblet) with "larch cup" (a toy).

[Joben]

I've been working on making slings and bullets for them to fire (not a novel addition, but most mods with them have tons of other stuff I don't want)

I've got them working in the arena, but there's a hitch:

In the arena they're being made out of metal and wood, which makes no sense.

Is there any way I can specify that a weapon can only be made out of a specific material or class of materials? Slings should be wool, plant fiber or leather.

On one level this wouldn't be a problem for my dwarves, I think I can write the reactions to specify a reasonable material in the workshops. But I don't want goblins or people in adventure mode showing up with silver lings and such.

[Putnam]

No.

(Despite how often I do that, I really do hate doing that--I would like nothing more than if I could answer "yeah, that's possible, here's how" to every question)

[Joben]

Damnit.

I hope that gets fixed some day. There are a lot of other weapons that only make sense with certain materials.

Thanks though you saved me a lot of pointless mucking about.

[peregarrett]

I'm for optimization question.

I'm making syndrome caused to hippies by contact with spilled blood. It turns them into berserker, but causes werecurse also.
Here's dog blood material:

[BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]
ELF:B_MALE/FEMALE are castes of berserkers, GIANT_DOG is giant version of dog with CRAZED tag.
Will both transformation syndromes work together?

So, this four syndromes are to be put to any creature's blood, which is a heap of annoying work. Is it possible to shorten this and modify just BLOOD_TEMPLATE? Problem is with linking to creature that applies that template, kind of CE:CREATURE:LOCAL_CREATURE:MALE. Plants have LOCAL_PLANT tag, do creatures?

[i2amroy]

You should be able to just modify the blood template. Elsewise if you only want to affect some creatures with blood but not all you could make it into a creature variation, then you would just need to add two lines to each creature instead of all 20 or so of them.

[peregarrett]

I want tiger's blood to transform imto weretigers, wolf's blood to werewolf and so on. But can't think of how to change templates to make it.

[Putnam]

You could use CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION.

[peregarrett]

You could use CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION.

you mean making interaction [I_SOURCE:REGION] [IS_REGION:ANY] with a huge list of [I_TARGET:CREATURE][IT_AFFECTED_CREATURE:TIGER], [I_TARGET:CREATURE][IT_AFFECTED_CREATURE:WOLF] etc, each adding a syndrome to it's blood through CE_BODY_MAT_INTERACTION? Well, would work, I think. Thanks!

Still don't understand some pieces of it.

[pivole]

Sorry if this has been covered, but i'll not trawl 164 pages.
1. In Human fortress, how do you make Nobles acknowledged by the game? They're currently just not there, despite me having copied them over from the dwarf raws. Edit: I just needed the expedition leader. Whoops. Edit. Bollocks. it stopped working.
2. I'd like to add a new workshop and reaction, but the wiki has me lost. It's a reaction to make a bin from cave wheat. If someone could please guide me through the reaction part, I'll try and sort the rest myself.
thanks.

[peregarrett]

How to make cave wheat bin:
1) Add material inside cave wheat plant, like it's done with trees and WOOD material
2) Make reaction that takes cave wheat plant as reagent, produce bin of that material you've added at stage 1

[pivole]

ah, thanks for that.

[Facekillz058]

If I made a weapon from an imaginary material that melts at the DF equivilent of room temperature, would the weapon itself melt and be destroyed?
