I'm having trouble quick-modding this into an active game. I've gotten it to pick up the wood, but it always makes the game crash. I'm sure it's a syntax issue - I never was good at modding plants.

Here's the code. How do I fix it?

Code: [Select]

There should be a NONE after Block. With the way it is, it is looking for a block subtype called wood. Try this:

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, I did a quick search but was unable to find any posts regarding it. I've also been searching the web about it for quite a while, but I haven't been able to find anything.

What are the exact criteria for getting a creature cursed by a deity during world gen?

What I want to do is make an interaction that is first given by deities, then passed on through a bite attack. The interaction should basically add a few tags to the creature, and then allow them to pass the curse on, without transforming them into anything else. Is this possible?

No: the [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION] is a creature attack token that can't be added by a syndrome/interaction. You'd have to make them transform.
As for deity curses: if you mean "how a curse is implemented," it should be

[INTERACTION:DEITY_CURSE]
     [I_SOURCE:DEITY]
          [IS_USAGE_HINT:MAJOR_CURSE]
     [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
          [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
     [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
          etc.

If you mean "when do deities curse people," I'm pretty sure it's random.

Look at the interaction examples folder in your raws if you need more help.

Alright, thank you.
So if I have the lines about deity curses and all that, people will eventually be cursed? Thanks.

I'm curious, since I got the impression that eg. kobolds in Masterwork (but possibly other creatures in other mods too) are more reliant (if not exclusively so) on fishing than vanilla dwarves, how have people like Meph and others fixed/gotten around the "limited fish population" issue?

(this thread seemed a better fit for a quick technical question like this than anything in the Masterwork subforum)
edit: forgot I had already asked about this in the DF 2012v0.34 question and answer thread, but it went unanswered there and really belongs here more anyway, so oh well.

I'm trying to make some kind of "Hold" ability, that freezes any creature temporarily when used upon them. I'm thinking total paralysis to all body parts, and no [SYN_AFFECTED] tags so that it's indiscriminate, but how would I prevent it from suffocating living beings?

[Putnam]

CE_SPEED_CHANGE:SPEED_MULT:1:SPEED_ADD:500000

[WillowLuman]

Why the add? Does that cause overflow to a negative number?

[Putnam]

SPEED_ADD:number (this modifies a creature's [SPEED:XX] token, so higher numbers are slower. Negative numbers are accepted though will only reduce a creature's speed to zero)

[WillowLuman]

Ah

Still crashes the game.

Checking the errorlog, I"m getting

Code: [Select]

*** Error(s) finalizing the reaction BRASS_MAKING
BRASS_MAKING:Unrecognized Item Token: BLOCK

[Putnam]

BLOCKS, not BLOCK. Also, that unrecognized material thing means you... didn't replace the save's raw???

[BlackFlyme]

Oh, wait. It's BLOCKS not BLOCK.

Not sure why you're getting an error from the WOOD, though.

[Gentlefish]

The blocks work now. I'm just getting an "unknown material block pillar" when I build with it. Close enough
