[Putnam]

I think he was asking specifically about digger+chopper tools, which are impossible.

[GuardianTempest]

So what about the breeding problem in my creature raws, any heads?

[Putnam]

Define "as intended".

[GuardianTempest]

Huh, guess I'd have to wait a few more in-game years. Say, can migrant waves be modified?

[Revanchist]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Meph]

Could I give a creature meat/muscle that carries a syndrome that needs to be ingested ? I know I can make potions by adding this to plants/alcohol, but would it work on the butchery products of the animal as well?

For example making rat-meat cause nausea, or give scorpion/spider meat a low chance to affect dwarves with the poison they carry, or have diseased animals, like rabies in dogs, or mad-cow disease (read the "mad cow" thread title, and this is what I initially thought of) ... so, if this is possible, how would I do it ?

EDIT: Oh, and migrant waves cant by modded, except in the init, with population cap. First 2 waves are hardcoded though.

[ZawB]

Hi sorry, nearly-complete modding noob here... I've searched around and the answer may be obvious, or maybe it's impossible.

Can I mod the raws to make Dwarven names appear in English by standard? Or even better, only their last names. So instead of Urist Gobblygook, I get Urist Awesomename. I use nicknames for organization, so I'd like to use their real names to remember who they are from one second to the next. Obviously I could just bite the bullet and learn dwarvish by heart, but in lieu of that is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance.

Just cut out all the dwarven language raws and replace them with the ones in the language_words file.

Wouldn't that put all dwarven words into English?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Damn, I forgot. Well, no. There is no way of having English last names. That I know of.

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_MATERIAL:MUSCLE]
     [SYNDROME]
          [SYN_INGESTED]
           etc.Should work. You can also use additional [PLUS_MATERIAL:XXXX] to modify multiple materials at once. The complete list of all the various material names is found in body_detail_plan_default.txt under the respective body plan that your creature uses.

Those are your options really. You can either have names be all dwarven (so Urist Alak-mabdug) or you can have them all in english (Dagger Ace-ale). There currently is no way to set it up so first names are in dwarven and last names are in english on all screens.

I'm trying to make my first mod (A practice really) so I settled with a custom "cheat" workshop, to see if I can get reactions to work and (in a pinch) help out my first few fortresses.
I managed to create the custom workshop, it shows in the "Buildings, workshop" page including key to press. I can place it down but for some reason none of the reactions show up in it's task bar?
Here are the two files that I made:

[i2amroy]

You have [OBJECT_REACTION] at the top of your reaction file instead of [OBJECT:REACTION]. Stupid mistake to make but we all do it at some point or other, and it will stop the game from recognizing all of the reactions in that file.

[Alem]

I had a random curiosity: my goal is to make an entity make their clothing primarily out of a selection of custom leather materials (representing cured, layered, scaled, etc). I also do not want them to be making these items out of any regular old cow hide. Would removing [USE_ANIMAL_PRODUCTS] and giving them cheat reactions to just stockpile these materials work, or would they just not use -anything- leather then?

[Artinnio]

To i2amroy
Ah thank you!
I'm surprised that that's the only thing that went wrong
