Putnam some improvements if i may :

Code: [Select]


for itemid,inv_item in ipairs(unit.inventory) do
local item=inv_item.item
if getMaterial(item)~=nil and getSyndrome(getMaterial(item))~=nil then -- then these function will not need ugly item.item in them

-- also there is
material=dfhack.matinfo.decode(item) -- or .decode(mat_type,mat_index)
-- then this will have:
material.inorganic --reference to raws for inorganic materials
material.plant -- reference to raws for plant materials
material.creature -- reference to raws for creature materials
more about last point: here

Would it be relatively easy to modify the script to apply different syndormes (really just similar syndrome of varying strength) depending on item quality? That way we could for example have masterwork power armour give the user more toughness than the basic quality one.

[Telgin]

That should be possible.  Putnam would have to decide on a formula for the severity of the syndrome based on the item quality, but it should be theoretically possible.

As for the utility itself, this is quite clever and a very useful addition.  I find it shocking that I'm having trouble thinking up applications for it for my mods though...

[smakemupagus]

I have a question. What about hauled items with a syndrome ?  (lets assume one has dynamite-ammo in his mod, and a hapless dwarf tries to carry it to a ballista)

Would the syndrome be applied to the dwarf carriyng it, because if yes, that would be... bad. Hilarious, but bad.

Oh, lol, good question.  And I guess old-school boiling syndrome ammo is definitely not compatable, unless by adding in some immunities

[Putnam]

Yeah, the hauling issue... not sure what to do with that.

EDIT: I think that hauled stuff has a mode of 0 in the inventory, which should make it very easy to disallow hauled items from affecting.

[KingofstarrySkies]

So, let me get this straight.
You can have a sword. That when it hits someone.
TURNS THEM INTO A WEREBEAST.
OR A HUSK.
OR A CORPSE.
YES.
No, really, this should be used WAAAAAAY more often in mods.

[Putnam]

Umm... I actually haven't tested that, believe it or not! It may be possible. add-spatter already did that before I made this. This is more about magical swords that make you slow while you use them but can cut through anything or w/e.

[smakemupagus]

If I understand your answer: Ammo made of, or spattered, with syndromes is a separate issue from hauling, right?  Once the archer claims it is has a different... um... inventory mode?

Do you know whether a non-magic blade spattered with a syndrome poison will affect the wielder?

[expwnent]

Neat extension.

It shouldn't. Spatters are stored... somewhere else, as are items in containers (which is the same thing as spatters, I think).

Well, the easiest way would be to use the SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS, using a class that dwarves dont have. For the ammo/negative effects that should only hit enemies.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

So in theory, we could have a poisoned blade that infects people with an unrelated splatter of venom from a giant desert scorpion, and the poison added by the utility just makes the victim turn into a werebeast?

Easier is to download the new version, which provides immunity to haulers :V

In theory, you could... use add-spatter for that. https://github.com/angavrilov/dfhack/blob/master/plugins/raw/reaction_spatter.txt

OP weapons of mass destruction, here we go.

[smakemupagus]

I was thinking SYN_IMMUNE_CLASS or SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE, then you only have to tag your entity's creatures rather than every single other creature.

that too
