Here's what DF2014 information I compiled for myself, when it was time to make the huge creatures update (gait speeds, attack_prepares, odorlevel, new skills, necks, multi-tile trees) for OldGenesis:
- [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3] every effing where. 3 -> "more like 1/24th of a fort tick, but gets rounded up to one." adv tick is 72 fort ticks. " it seems you guys are right that attack speeds will affect fort mode aswell. "
- DONE: INSPECT WHAT WEAPON CHANGES IN VANILLA.
much [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3] to everything(tools too; tools done.). whip,scourge is special multiattack. that is all.
DONE:main weapon file. Oldgen no have whips coz they're bad in warfare. WHIP skill is polearms here.
DONE:genesis weap file, ammo file.
- probably done: crea_standard speeds tuning
- DONE: to all gems... the new densities and colours. [SOLID_DENSITY:2115] Common to opals. Range is 1980 - 2250 [STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:PEARL]
- use _NECK variants TO ALMOST ALL BODIES. Birds too, done. Fish, sea mammals done.
- neck ver of humanoid_legless?? Naga.
- not exist [BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY_NECK ! but use walrus instead: [BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY:BASIC_HEAD_NECK:
- "There's a new hardcoded building you can specify, the Farmer's Workshop as [BUILDING:FARMER:key]."
- DONE intelligents and likesfighting: cowardly dorfs: "You need to mod them to have natural discipline skill of at least 1." [NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:1]
- I dont need: "[SPOUSE_CONVERTER]
[ORIENTATION:MALE:1:0:0]
[ORIENTATION:FEMALE:0:0:1]
[CONVERTED_SPOUSE]

[ORIENTATION:FEMALE:1:0:0]
- Knight Otu says: "can be added (or removed) through CE_ADD_TAG (CE_REMOVE_TAG). Flying wasn't among them last time I checked. The list of tokens that can be added is BLOODSUCKER, CAN_LEARN, CAN_SPEAK, CRAZED, EXTRAVISION, LIKES_FIGHTING (or LIKESFIGHTING), MISCHIEVOUS (or MISCHIEVIOUS), NO_CONNECTIONS_FOR_MOVEMENT, NO_DIZZINESS, NO_DRINK, NO_EAT, NO_FEVERS, NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN, NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST, NO_SLEEP, NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT, NOBREATHE, NOEMOTION, NOEXERT, NOFEAR, NONAUSEA, NOPAIN, NOSTUN, NOT_LIVING, NOTHOUGHT, OPPOSED_TO_LIFE, PARALYZEIMMUNE, SUPERNATURAL, TRANCES, UTTERANCES."

--------------
IE_LOCATION Within I_EFFECT Location Hint Indicates where the effect can take place. Valid values: IN_WATER IN_MAGMA (and omit usage hint, so they do it always when in water)
--------------
changed frequencies/population numbers for animal people
fixed various broken eyelash color/descriptions
removed lots of HOMEOTHERM tags from bugs

- fliers can have [DIVE_HUNTS_VERMIN]! (peregrine had it.)
- trees: they auto-use ironhand 59 tools tile and 172 fish tile :-( is in d_init.
[GROWTH_PRINT:'%' char(if zero,just color host) :7 char picked : color 4:0:1: timing 120000: timing 200000: priority 3]
Format here is character on branch, item character, 3 for color, season timing, print priority (higher better).
-[SHRUB_TILE:13][SHRUB_COLOR:2:0:0] looks great, low grasslike
- replaced all '*':'*': catkins with reedy-grassy 13-tile.
- all tree-fruits from '%' BIN to 236 tri-plant. all flowers from [GROWTH_PRINT:5:5: probably yen symbol to.... 231 fourleafplant.
---------special leaf colors on fantasy and evil trees!!-----------
- many creatures should get [NATURAL_SKILL:TRACKING:2] and [NATURAL_SKILL:BALANCE:4] and [NATURAL_SKILL:SNEAK:2]
- DONE: sweat/spit/tears added to approprite creatures.
- add [PERSONALITY:BRAVERY:100:100:100] to make creatures not run in fear.
- DONE: some ANY_LAND creatures to [BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]. For accuracy.
- inspect conversion [CVCT_TARGET:QUADRUPED_HOOF]

- todo " [LOW_LIGHT_VISION:100] bonus percentage, cannot penalize yet, default is zero, just throw in 10000 to make it perfect "
- maybe todo: "The tags CRAZED and OPPOSED_TO_LIFE can be added through a syndrome"
- vanilla not have [SOUND:ALERT:30:2000:VOCALIZATION:screech:screeches:a large bird screech]
[SOUND:PEACEFUL_INTERMITTENT:16:80000:VOCALIZATION:chirp:chirps:a very short chirp]
on animals!
- DONE: 658 creatures! Fuck! Everyone's speed, swim speed, and attack.
- DONE: delete 11 personality lines, keep 9...
- put [GOBBLE_VERMIN_CLASS:EDIBLE_GROUND_BUG] to many custom creatures.
- pretty new: [ROOT_AROUND:BY_CATEGORY:BILL:root around in:roots around in]
- "For no-pole, base temperatures of at least 85 make an environment tropical" -Toady
____Globs are measured like bars now. Try REAGENT:tallow:150:GLOB instead.
__"Yeah, just use [GRAZER:#] in an animal to revert it to what it was before. GRAZE_COEFFICIENT only affects the STANDARD_GRAZER formula."
_ size of a tile is: "I think for the purposes of the minecarts it turned out to be 2m x 2m x 3m with 10 clicks / second" -Toady One
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Also, there are CANNOT_JUMP and CANNOT_CLIMB (this one is only needed if the creature has grasps - no creature
in the stock raws uses this) to prevent a creature from jumping/climbing or STANCE_CLIMBER to allow a creature
to climb with its feet/stance parts, VISION_ARC (in the format [VISION_ARC:150:310], binocular vision, non-binocular
vision), MULTIPART_FULL_VISION which (probably) causes the creature to have a full vision arc while it has multiple heads,
NO_VEGETATION_PERTURB, which probably causes the creature to leave no tracks on vegetation, and several other new tags.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odor level is how smelly the creature is. Higher levels are more smelly.
Smell trigger is how well creatures can smell things. Lower is better. If the smell trigger is lower than the odor level, then the creature can smell the source of the odor, if it is close enough.
Both smell triggers and odor levels default to 50, I believe. It's mentioned in the future of the fortress thread, though it may have changed since then.
You can also apply an odor string to describe the smell. For example, fire snakes now have [ODOR_STRING:smoke]. So instead of it saying "you smell fire snake on the wind" it would say "you smell smoke on the wind".
[ODOR_LEVEL:50][ODOR_STRING:smoke]zero = odorless, default is 50, smell_trigger greaterless than or equal to odor_level detects w/ wind
[SMELL_TRIGGER:50] "low is better. minimum 1, default is 50, humans set to 90 because they suck"

TREES:
Trunk_period: no idea. Couldn't notice any differences at all from changing this, under various conditions. [tea bush has 10]
branch densities: as you would expect, they create more often branches of that type.
max trunk height: the highest height of A trunk tile, not necessarily in a straight line.
heavy branch radius: seems to be the radius heavy branches can occur at. Does not depend on the trunk branching amount or where trunks are. You can actually have trunks branch out further than heavy branches do. So if this is = 1, you will have heavy branches in a 3x3 area around the center, period.
branch radius: similar.
trunk branching: Seems to be a combination of how "branchy" the shape is (twisting around, not straight line) PLUS how wide out the reach, in one parameter
^again, all three of these seem almost independent of one another. Branching of trunk can seemingly go out further than other branches do, for instance.
max trunk diameter: seems to only affect the base of the tree, and only go up to a max of 3x3 in size, no matter what you set.
Also, trees appear to be limited to a 7x7 area above their first tile in width, no matter what parameters you set. If you set all the branching radii and everything super high, you just get fully filled 7x7 rectangles going up. As you set them lower, it will take on different more or less filled oval shapes.
Also, biomes or perhaps temperatures or something can affect these variables. I have a world with ONLY one species of tree in existence, and on some embarks, it has 3x3 trunks all over the place and massive 7x7 canopies. And on other embarks, they are exclusively 1x1 initial trunks and tiny canopies ??? I haven't made any rhyme or reason out of it.
