Yeah. Each individual caste needs a separate body detail plan token with different materials.

So i have a batman adventurer, and the only way i can fly now is walking off a cliff with no down slope. I know you can fly directly up at any time, but I don't know what key to use.

If I remember right you can ascend/descend the same way you go up/down stairs. Or you could try careful movements like when you enter water.

But some areas do have a height cap, and particularly flat areas may only have as few as 2 Z-levels above the ground.

[Putnam]

Some have 0.

[WillowLuman]

It's pretty damn annoying to get killed by things you really ought to be able to fly away from because of the arbitrary z-level limit. There a DFhack solution?

[Putnam]

Not sure if infiniteSky works in adventure mode, but it's definitely there.

My Aeromancer's attacks don't work. I think there's something wrong with the materials. Here are the raws for the Aeromancer and the materials.

You probably want LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:FROST or INORGANIC:FROST. Material tokens are always at least two-part.

new questions

I have a custom race, which consists of 6 castes, and each caste has a different body structure.
my question is how do i specify the body structure of each caste?
also i was wondering how long a creature entirely composed of socket body parts would last in combat?

[Putnam]

Just have a different BODY and BODY_DETAIL_PLAN for each caste.

The sockets sound hilarious do it.

[Sanure]

Just have a different BODY and BODY_DETAIL_PLAN for each caste.

The sockets sound hilarious do it.

so something like:

[CASTE]
  [BODY]
  [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN]

that?

oh and working on the bag of socket fun

EDIT: That. Was. Fun.
Must expiriment more.

[Putnam]

yeah like that

[Sanure]

yeah like that

Neat Thanks again Putnam.

[Meph]

I am a bit shocked, because apparently its impossible to make your own reactions to dye things. Is this correct?

I can only find these improvements:

COVERED    Item is encrusted/studded/decorated with <material>.
GLAZED    Item is glazed with <material>.
RINGS_HANGING    Item is adorned with hanging rings of <material>.
BANDS    Item is encircled with bands of <material>.
SPIKES    Item menaces with spikes of <material>.
PAGES    Adds pages to a book.

All other item improvement tokens (ART_IMAGE, ITEMSPECIFIC, THREAD, CLOTH, SEWN_IMAGE, and ILLUSTRATION) are ignored.

I never really thought about it, but I guess I cant do custom reactions for dyeing. Only fake ones using for example SILK and DYE and making a new material, called DYED_SILK, which would require one for each color and material type.

EDIT: Since improvements on cloth or tanned skins would be lost when an item would be created with them, the best solution I could come up with is this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:DYE_ARMOR_LEATHER_LAMELLAR] => would be done for every type of material
[NAME:Dye lamellar leather armor/shirt black] => would be done for every dye
[BUILDING:GREATER_DYERY:CUSTOM_O] =< new building because I cant add to dyery.
[REAGENT:A:1:ARMOR:NO_SUBTYPE:CREATURE_MAT:ANIMAL_LAMELLAR:LEATHER]
[PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[REAGENT:dye:150:POWDER_MISC:NONE:PLANT_MAT:SLIVER_BARB:MILL][DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[REAGENT:B:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE][CONTAINS:dye][BAG][PRESERVE_REAGENT][DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT]
[IMPROVEMENT:100:A:COVERED:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:dye:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BOULDER:NONE:INORGANIC:KNOWLEDGE_STONE] => for XP gain.
[SKILL:DYER]
Anyone got any better ideas?

EDIT: I settled on the reaction I posted, I couldnt find anything better.

New Question: Does adding NOEAT reset the hunger-timer on a creature? Lets say a creature is starving, and I add NOEAT for one tick, is it still starving afterwards?

EDIT2: Tested it. It seems not to work. After the ticks run out, the creature is back to starving.

[Sanure]

Ok, So i have an odd question. I've not seen it in game yet, but how do engravings involving creatures with the [Fanciful] and [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tags appear like?

[Putnam]

[DOES_NOT_EXIST] has no bearing on appearance in engravings and [FANCIFUL] is on a few creatures that do exist (such as dragons and unicorns). Anyway, it looks like this:

On the wall is a superiorly-engraved image of a dragon.
