Actually you might have been correct sorry:

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.31:Modding_guide#Creature_materials_and_tissues

"[SELECT_MATERIAL:SKIN]"

Seems the reference container (the creature) is already calculated by the SELECT_MATERIAL command, since it can only be used inside the creature itself.

What I just did though, was to try upping all the base material values for egg materials in the templates ... that had no effect at all on prices.

Just to confirm ... I did a global replace of all the base material template values from 1 to 10 ... then eggs, and all other animal materials were in fact x 10 in price. So you were correct that some other material affects the value. But i gtg do stuff today, so you might have to narrow it down yourself. I might look at it later when I get home. Try something like skin, bone or muscle.

Don't forget to add that info to the modding wiki's if you get it.

Bone did the trick, will plan on updating the wiki later if nobody beats me to it.

So. Just finished making a new creature, stuck the appropriate files into DF, loaded it up. Went to the arena, and I didn't find the creature in there to test. Is there any way to make non-vanilla creatures show up at all in the arena? I know that there's a tag that hides them, but I know I didn't put that in...

edit: Imma derp, they were listed as Nothing, because I put CASTE_NAME twice but no CASTE. Though now I see three castes of "nothing" and it's disappointing.

Quick question involving a reaction. I am trying to make a reaction in the Still that involves taking a specific plant I made and turning it into 1 bar of coke, and 2 seeds of the same plant. Right now I think it takes anything and makes it into hundreds of bars of coke.

The plant itself grows fine but I just need to get them to use it and get seeds back from the process.

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

[ShinQuickMan]

Ok, so I'm trying to make an venture mode reaction that transforms objects into human corpses, but every time the reaction is used the game crashes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or if such a thing is even possible?

Here's what I tried:

[Lycaeon]

Corpses aren't recognized by reactions at all. The closest approximation at the moment is making an organ or piece of meat.

[ShinQuickMan]

Hmmmm.... Well, that puts me in a tough spot...

Thanks for the quick response.

Super newb question. >.<

I know there's a tag that acts as a "delete", sort of like if i were to COPY_TAGS_FROM a creature, but it had TRAPAVOID and I wanted to remove that. I COULD just copy-paste all the appropriate tokens, but that bloats file size and makes it harder to read. What syntax am I looking for? Is it like, REMOVE, or REMOVE_TAG, or DELETE, or DENNIS?

on a related note, the wiki is very good at listing most tokens in pages that are grouped by category, but there isn't one (that I can find) for stuff that's more syntax-oriented than anything else. It makes me sad

[WillowLuman]

CV_REMOVE_TAG, I believe.

Anyone know the numbers for the MOON_PHASE?

[laularukyrumo]

Yeah, but does that work outside of a creature variation?

last I checked, COPY_TAGS_FROM isn't a creature variation.

[WillowLuman]

No other tag that I know of, I'm afraid. You'll just have to try it.

[i2amroy]

Yeah, but does that work outside of a creature variation?

last I checked, COPY_TAGS_FROM isn't a creature variation.

Just make a new creature variation that only removes the trapavoid token. Then you can just have

Code: [Select]

[COPY_TAGS_FROM:YOUR_CREATURE]
[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:REMOVE_TRAPDODGE]
[APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION]and it will still be shorter then copying all of the tokens by hand.

[WillowLuman]

What do the number values for MOON_PHASE mean?

[Triskelli]

What do the number values for MOON_PHASE mean?

The piece of code in question is [CE:PERIODIC:MOON_PHASE:27:0].  As a whole, this means that the creature will become a werebeast on every full moon, but I'm sure you figured that out yourself.  The token "MOON_PHASE:27:0" refers to the length of time that the transformation occurs in terms of days:  the wiki says that the formula for periodic tokens is "period_type:min_value:max_value".  The two numbers mean when the syndrome takes effect, and when it ends.  In this example, the werebeast syndrome begins on the last day of each month, and ends on the first day of the next.

Hopefully we'll get some more PERIODIC tokens to play with in later releases.

[WillowLuman]

So, 15:27 would last for half a month?

[Putnam]

It should be about half a month, yeah.

Anyway, I need a method of boomerang interaction that is based upon syndromes. The fact that I don't know one tells me that it's probably impossible.
