How do I allow vampires to further gain attributes? Cause I heard that once you become a vampire, you cannot gain attributes anymore.

[Iceblaster]

I'm not an expert on modding, but I think that's hardcoded into the game... though you could-in theory-make a race that has the same attributes as a vampire, but gains attributes with the [CAN_LEARN] Tag

[Putnam]

Yep, hardcoded

[deama]

Damn; thanks anyway...

[Xangi]

Uhh, it's only hardcoded if you are using the default vampires, if you use custom curses you can remove the tags for [NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN] and [NO_PHYS_ATT_RUST].

Is there a nice custom curse vampire mod thing?
And if I installed one, would I have to restart (I'm a vanilla vampire)?

[Nahere]

You could add a syndrome into the blood template in material_template_default.txt that removes [NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN], which would let you gain attributes on drinking blood. I'm not sure if that would require a regen, but adding custom vampires definitely would.

Thanks, that'll help me.

Uhh... How would I go about adding this syndrome?

PS: If you don't fancy telling me how to do this "syndrome", then do you know of a nice vampire mod?

[Nahere]

Go into material_template_default.txt in data/save/region[number of save]/raw/objects if you want it to effect your save game or in raw/objects if you want it to effect newly-genned worlds. Search for blood with ctrl-f and add something like this under that block of text:

Code: [Select]

[SYNDROME]
     [SYN_INGESTED]
     [CE_REMOVE_TAG:NO_PHYS_ATT_GAIN:START:0]I think that should work.

[deama]

Ok, I'll try that, is there an easy way to test this?

[Putnam]

Punch something, check with that script I just wrote.

[deama]

It seems to work; thanks for the help.

The stats increase fine, but the speed is stuck on 1290; before I became a vampire, it used to be 1809...

That's just a thing that happens when you become undead. You can use [CE_SPEED_CHANGE] to adjust it.
Also in reference to this:

I made pretty much the first vampire mod for 34.XX (though I didn't upload it until 34.02 or 34.03 I believe), and yes you will have to restart to have the changes take effect. In order to replace the vanilla curses you must set the number of curses in advanced worldgen to zero. FTN has several templates which do this by default. The interaction raws are actually quite simple, so if you want to make your own I'd suggest just looking at the interaction example raws included with DF.

I think I'd just rather have your custom vampire mod XD.
Could you link it?
