I don't think you understand what BODY means.

BODY is the body token equivalent of CREATURE.

BP refers to each individual part in a BODY definition. You don't need the WRIST_TONGUE things at all, you need a first tongue split, second tongue split, first tonguehand, second tonguehand etc.

@Putnam: do you know what I want? If you do it might be easier to write it out for me, because I'm going to get a headache if I keep this up.

The thing right after BP is called the token, which is what I was referring to with TOKEN. It has to be unique for all parts in a single BODY set. CON connects to things by that token.

Thanks.

Okay, then. Next question: can you have scales and fur on one creature?

 First thing, holy cow at number of replies overnight! I slept in though.
Second, thnks to putnam for basically being a total boss and helping out when I am supposed to be doing the helping. :P
Third, I will work on the fur with scales thing. I mostly just test everything in arena and later on adventure, so it might take a while but I will try. Edit: do you want scales and fur both together, or scales on some parts, fur on other parts? I'm guessing the 2nd is easier, and I have an idea on how to do it.
Fourth, gundam? I am guessing you want an anime robot, but maybe a bit more specific?

Ok. Fairly sure that is impossible for modding. I am not a coder, so I can't just add that kind of new drastic changes to the game. I really do apologize, but it is far beyond my patience and skill level to do that. To have a dwarf control something, that would basically be an advanced mount. Modding cannot have stuff mount, it only happens with enemy civilizations when they siege your place. Even then, the creature doesn't control the mount, only moves with it. I could technically have another race mount these creatures, which would have to occur in the wild, because you can't have them made from nothing, especially in world gen. Thus, sorry. Unless you want it occurring as a wild animal as a mount for other races, or just as a pet, I can't help you.

Well I have achieved something like that with Tanks, using basic transformation syndromes and boiling rocks. It would be as simple as making a "Gundam" creature or dwarf caste with a bunch of weapons and a brain called "Driver", if that is what you are getting at.

I want to create a cat based military.

I am thinking that there will be three parts to it, a warrior cat, a mage cat, and an archer cat.

The cats could be created through a kennel or a new building.

The warrior cat is probably the easiest to make, simply add a [NOFEAR], and replace his scratching attack with a slash.

Archer cats attack by vomiting regenerating cat bone bolts at foes.

Mage cats are the most difficult, most likely being fire breathing or having a particularly fun syndrome dust attached to them.


On another topic, is it possible to change the diplomat's speech text? I kind of want to make the Elves normal whining into a song and dance number.

Scales on the neck and tail, fur everywhere else.

Make a Grotesque, a slime or blob monster that, while not innately good at injuring people, has secretions that transform victims into copies of itself over time. Poorly handled, your fort will suffer a cascade of slime infections; handled well, you won't loose anyone but the first wave of infected dwarves.
