You'll need to make some sort of generic bone metal.

You'll need to make some sort of generic bone metal.

Yeah. 99% of bone from creatures is equivalent in properties, but since each one is technically defined on a creature by creature basis they don't have to be. This then leads to their removal from the lists.

How do the different type of descriptor files work?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

color_descriptor works by defining a color for description.
descriptor_pattern works by describing stuff like stripes, for animals like leopards or zebras.
descriptor_iris describes...eye color, as does descriptor_pupil.
descriptor_shape defines shapes.

[Furtuka]

can shape descriptors still be used in creature appearances?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I'd assume so, though I dunno.

[Furtuka]

If I want a descriptor in a creature to say, it's X is the Y. I would need the "the" to be part of the descriptor's name right?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

No, I think that bit's supplied by the creature description. I don't personally mod descriptors myself,but I'm sure a more experienced modder could help you.

Trying to make my wooden dummies as flimsy as possible, the lower the SOLID_DENSITY of the wood used mean the easier it is to break?

[Putnam]

IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD and TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD are most important for breaking purposes.

[i2amroy]

IMPACT_STRAIN_AT_YIELD and TENSILE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD are most important for breaking purposes.

This right here. All that lowering the SOLID_DENSITY will do is make your wooden dummies lighter.

Does anyone know what units the weapon tags [SHOOT_FORCE] and [SHOOT_MAXVEL] are in?

If they're some weird abstract thing does anyone have any idea how we might go about correlating their effects to something handy like meters per second or a standard kinetic energy measurement? 

[Deon]

So, the werebeast transformation is triggered by the moon phase:

Code: [Select]

[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:WEREBEAST:DEFAULT]
[CE:PERIODIC:MOON_PHASE:27:0]
[CE_ADD_TAG:NO_AGING:START:0]However I don't see what makes it to turn back. Can anyone tell me? This code only has START:0, without END.

Another question, did someone test different triggers? Will:

Code: [Select]

[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:WEREBEAST:DEFAULT]
[CE:COUNTER_TRIGGER:ALCOHOLIC:100800:201600:REQUIRED]
[CE_ADD_TAG:NO_AGING:START:0]make my dwarves to turn into werebeasts if they haven't got an alcohol in 3-6 months?

[peregarrett]

It starts at moon phase 27 and ends when phase changes - maybe 27:0 describes the final stage, dunno.
END at CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION affects period when syndrome fades out, so it will never transform again

[Deon]

Hm, now when I think about it, it may be from 27 to 0, the way the other periodic triggers work. Thank you.
But I thought that after the syndrome ends, it should stay in its form.
