But what would I need to type? I checked out iron's properties in inorganic_metal and it has dozens of lines. Do I need to put all that next to METAL_TEMPLATE?

[Putnam]

under the material definition, which is the USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE token.

[Cocoprimate]

Hahah I think I just borked everything by putting all the iron stuff there. I must have done something wrong. Thanks for your help guys, but I think I will refrain from modifying things too much.

Does anyone know of a script similar to the old "dfstatus"? It simply opened a new window that listed your metal bars, logs, meals, etc. It was so convenient!!

Can you add an interaction to a creature, post worldgen? I have one that causes no errors in the arena, but loading up a fortress with the creatures present gets me no action and a couple of lines in the errorlog:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*** Error(s) finalizing the creature CAVE_DRAGON
Interaction Token not recognized : KILL_ALL_THINGS_START
Interaction Token not recognized : KILL_ALL_THINGS_START

I can't reproduce the error by messing around with the magma crab's interaction.

The intention with this is to make the cave dragon kill anything that isn't a cave dragon. It's lacking an off switch at the moment, but arena loyalties make it impossible to test if the on switch is working. I get the two appropriate messages though.

[Meph]

Yes. Or to be more precise: Creatures do not use interactions in worldgen, so just add the interactions, and they will use them in fort mode/adv mode when you meet them.

For example I have a dwarven caste that turns into a monster after 1 year. They never transform in worldgen, but if they migrate to your fort, they will start the countdown and transform 1 year later.

*edits this post too much*
Is there a way to make an animal milkable for poisons (with syndromes) and shearable for quills? I would also like to make eggs apply a syndrome on contact.

[Meph]

Does a creature, that learned an interaction from a syndrome, keep that interaction after dying and being resurrected?

Example: Dwarf learns stoneskin-spell. Dwarf dies. Dwarf gets resurrected. Can he still cast stoneskin?

EDIT: Does anyone have any husks/thralls lying around? I couldnt find any in the interaction examples that come with DF, nor with forum search. They should be procedually generated content in the world.dat. Anyone has the raws for them?

He should, as far as I know.

They will use some interactions, just not syndrome ones. For example, sometimes you see "was burned to death" by a dragon in legends mode.

[Meph]

Ah. so they use MATERIAL_EMISSIONS, but not INTERACTION:Interaction-Id, which is then defined in the interaction file.

[Lord Allagon]

I'm trying to get a dragon civ to spawn, but so far I have had no luck, even with multiple worldgens. I've checked entity_dragon.txt for any mistakes, but I can't find just what makes them not appear. I know it's not the dragon itself, because I removed the file and they spawned, but apart from that I've no idea. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 I'm not a very experienced modder, so I pretty much just copied the raws from the kobolds in entity_default and erased weapons, gems and such, and added two positions, which I based off the dwarven expedition leader and the elven queen. Apart from that, I also added a language, but that's not the issue, since I use it with kobolds too (removed utterances) and it works.

Thank you Putnam. It's working now.
