Since Toady was so kind as to provide in INTERACTION EXAMPLES, the raws for lycanthropy, vampirism, and necromancy, I shall combine them here, for more of my black magic science, after my adamantine colossus project was such a huge success, I shall begin pouring out more unholy abominations.

Now, if someone would be so kind as to provide the data for the WEREWOLF creature, possibly from an infected adventurer, that would be great, and help out a lot.

[Facekillz058]

Wait, are werecreatures even in the raws? Through my various safaris through them i've never seen werecreatures.

[Kuxe]

Wait, are werecreatures even in the raws? Through my various safaris through them i've never seen werecreatures.

Oh believe me they are. I once had this werewolf werehorse roaming around my fortress. Luckily the werehorse transformed to a common Dwarf who left quite instantly.

Then he returned as a werehorse. Which he reguraly did until my fortress crumbled to it's end...

[Facekillz058]

Well, there's a difference between 'in the raws' and 'in the game'
For example: Quivers, backpacks, nor any wearable container, can be found in the raws.

Edit: In other words, i'm saying, unless someone finds the raws for werecreatures, they're hardcoded and can't be changed.

[Blakmane]

you can find the raws in the example interactions folder. However, werecreatures may be hardcoded so some extent. Certainly vampires and necromancers cannot be edited out of the raws, although new curse/secret types can be edited in. Werebeasts may be similar.

[Deon]

Turn save compression off, and you will find generated creatures like forgotten beasts, vampires and werewolves in your save folder, in the world.dat file. I feel that this thread belongs to the modding forum instead.

[random_odd_guy]

Yeah, I don't know what program reads .dat files, and was hoping someone could copy paste the stuff about werewolves (or any variant) here, with the assumption that its formatted similarly to the RAW files (i know the werecurse exists in INTERACTION EXAMPLES and by putting that into the raw folders, i could make it work, but i need to know what the creatures used in dwarf fortress have for their files, so i can make an accurate replica)

I plan on combining, and modifying as needed, the three interaction examples for the above, into one thing, and then figuring out a trigger for it.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Just replace the creature the werebeast turns into with the animalman of your choice.

I read the title and thought it read "The Necroempire." We must make this.

Oh, I see, well then, thanks for that.

Turn save compression off, ...

i often read that but would someone mind to explain how do you turn save compression off?
EDIT:
i think i found it init.txt contains that parameter

[random_odd_guy]

I don't know, I've never fiddled with the .dat files.


Incidentally, no, I didn't want to CHANGE the werewolf that's already there, I wanted to copy it, but seeing as it just turns you into an animal man normally, that makes it easier, I've never actually encountered a werewolf in its beast form, so that threw me off.


Anyway, as the above said, just replace WEREWOLF in the raw i put there with animalman of your choosing, replace the spaces with tabs, and it should be good to go.

Anyone care to test this?


EDIT: UPDATED:
http://pastebin.com/M1V1Y4sU

should contain all you need, but again, replace all instances of WEREBEAST with the animalman of your choosing, and put [SPECIALATTACK_INTERACTION:NECROWEREPIRE_BITE] as a sub set of its bite attack in the raws.

[TechnoScrabble]

Alright, but how do I apply that to an adventurer or race so that my adventurer or fort dorfs can all be necrowerepires?

[random_odd_guy]

No clue, however, since you can get it in any way you can get the above 3 (drinking necrowerepire blood, being cursed by a god, being bitten by a necrowerepire in beast form, reading necromancer tower book) just do one of those, and you'll get it.

for fort mode, oh ho ho ho ho, just pour necrowerepire blood (fresh) in the drinking water beer.

for putting in the game, put everything before the bite attack into the interaction file (dont duplicate [OBJECT: INTERACTION] into the interaction standard file though, as its already there, and not needed, though then again, you might be able to just put all this in its own file, not sure, for safety's sake, put it under INTERACTION STANDARD in the raws), along with the bite attack description, and put the tag for the bite attack under the animalman of your choosing (preferably copied in the raws, with WERE put before it in the name, otherwise that whole species will contract necrolycanthropirism to anyone it bites) under ITS bite attack

[TechnoScrabble]

Does it require blood or whatever? Because right now I'm a dwarf made out of slade. Long story.

[random_odd_guy]

No, actually, upon reviewing the raws I posted, it just requires CAN LEARN and CAN SPEAK to contract the curse of the necrowerepire.


Your long story is probably bested by the fact that I myself am currently a colossus made of adamantine that flies and breathes fire.


For added opdness, remove all instances of the tag: [NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN]

oh wait, do this instead:

with the same previous alterations, i just realized the BITE contraction method DID require blood, though the rest of the methods did not.
