v1 of my brain mod is done-
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5870Only body part modified is the brain, and nothing is removed so it should be pretty compatible, there are a few B_detail plan changes and one new tissue to go along with it.
Three part brain - Cerebrum(outer), Connective tissue(mid- actually wrapped around both brain parts with BY_CATEGORY:BRAIN) and Cerebellum(inner).
Cerebrum is tagged with [THOUGHT] and[GUTS], this causes unconsciousness and nausea.
Connective tissues are [THOUGHT] and have a vascular rating of 75 - unconsciousness and severe bleeding, but not guaranteed death like major arteries.
Cerebellum has just [THOUGHT] in this version - I eventually want to link this to vision and movement, but my best idea so far was to add [STANCE] which should cause falling over if damaged, but this gets problematic with toes being added to part of the brain and creatures trying to kick with it... so that out. I also flirted with [NERVOUS] but that is covered by the neck, I really didn't want 2 body parts that minor damage triggers suffocation. If you are replacing the neck you may want to add [NERVOUS] to it.
Arena behavior has been pretty satisfying, generally takes 2-6 solid blows to the head to outright strike down a creature, and any good head hit will cause unconsciousness.
I hadn't seen the issue meph had, but then again I was looking for it so I'll dig into that tonight.
