Skulls from corpses?
« on: December 31, 2012, 02:24:21 pm »

so, i trying to make reaction for Adventure mode, to making skulls from the corpses and severed heads, as i understand butchering sentient species still hardcoded in adventure mode (?), so be it, i need only skulls, but i'm having real trouble to make custom reaction for this
tried to search for something similar, but all what i found was something like this

[PRODUCT:100:1:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:ELF]

which is unfortunaly no good for me, since i want the skull had some.. similarity to its owner (like regular severed/butchered part, at least with a name)
after a while messing with reactions i come to this

[REAGENT:corpse:1:CORPSE:NONE:NONE:NONE][USE_BODY_COMPONENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:skull:NONE]

[REAGENT:head:1:CORPSEPIECE:NONE:NONE:NONE][USE_BODY_COMPONENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:skull:NONE]

and of course such blasphemy didn't work, got ctd while trying to apply such reaction to freshly made corpse...
any way to make this? is it possible at all? need help, guys :(  and sorry for bad english :)

damn, New Year in less than an hour, but i'm trying to cut out skulls from the corpses...

SKULL isn't an item type. It's a body part. You can get it as an object from butchery, but custom reactions can't create any kind of body part. Sorry.

Could you be more specific?
Skulls are body parts with a special token that lets them be used as totems, as well as separating them from the rest of the corpse. If you added the tag to, say, tails, you could make totems from deer tails and such.

Skulls used to be a unique item type (along with bones and shells), but that was back in 0.28.181.40d and earlier.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

damn, seems it is what i i've read about some time ago, no easy way then...

in that case, another question - if i've making something like this:

in toys
[ITEM_TOY:ITEM_TOY_SKULL]
[NAME:skull:skulls]

and reaction
[REAGENT:corpse:1:CORPSE:NONE:NONE:NONE][USE_BODY_COMPONENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_SKULL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:bone:NONE]
or
[PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_SKULL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:NONE:NONE]

it is working (both :bone: and :NONE: versions), i'm getting skulls, dunno about material of it, no way to check, but main problem - it is just "skull", is there any way to add name of the creature from whom this skull was made of or maybe at least name of the material (in case of creatures with bones made of different material)?

The first product line makes DF look at the corpse's material and locate the "bone" meterial reaction produce.

The second duplicates the corpse's material.

Actually, both of the PRODUCT lines are invalid because they try to get the material from a non-existent reagent. What you want is [PRODUCT:100:1:TOY:ITEM_TOY_SKULL:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:corpse:NONE], which will give you a "creature bone skull".
