I walked past the graveyard, as I always do on the way to work. My mind wasn't focused on my miserable surroundings, rather my thoughts were all aflutter with the day's potential. Perhaps I could finally get that promotion. Perhaps I could finally move out of that dingy flat. Perhaps Sharon would finally-
I stop in my tracks.
That grave is empty.
It's been dug up. The dirt is fresh. Hesitantly, my eyes trail over the faded words.
Stricken by horror, I back away, my mouth opening and closing without sound. Oh sweet, merciful god. It's back. It's back from the dead.

Neato. This is my spot. There are many like it but this one is mine.

endlessblaze · « **Reply #64 on:** November 04, 2014, 06:53:39 am »

I had to necro it!

The potential is everywhere. Finding creatures is hard. But hay maybe I'm just looking over them every time.

(Twitch) grrr creature moding looks....very intimidating any tips on handling it?
I already seem to have the hang of entity files but.....wow.....

Creature modding can get pretty difficult so you should start easy and then build up
start by modding an existing creature by adding a few tags, change where it spawns etc.
then try a hand at body parts, want a lion with scorpion claws and a tail? go for it
after that you could try making a completely custom creature with custom body parts and whatnot

noted. I have also read weppons are a good place to start.....but first....MORE ADVENTUREING!

Since it's a new DF version with new creature mechanics, maybe we should have a new thread?

King Kravoka · « **Reply #69 on:** November 07, 2014, 03:21:43 am »

Posting to watch.

I've made a venomous flying dragon thing for adventure mode:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE:DRAKELING]
	[DESCRIPTION:A powerful race of dragon kin.]
	[NAME:drake:drakes:drakeling]
	[CASTE_NAME:drake:drakes:drakeling]
	[CREATURE_TILE:'d'][COLOR:3:0:0]
	[CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:'D']

	Many of the following tags are actually caste-level tags (in this case, male and female), but because there are no differences between the castes for these tags in a dwarf, you can add them earlier.  Any caste-level tag that occurs before castes are explicitly declared is saved up and placed on any caste that is declared later, unless the caste is explicitly derived from another caste.
	[TISSUE:STEEL]
		[TISSUE_NAME:steel:NP]
		[STRUCTURAL]
		[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:STEEL]
		[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:2]
		[CONNECTS]
		[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
	[FANCIFUL]
	[FIREIMMUNE_SUPER]
	[INTELLIGENT]
	[TRANCES]
	[BENIGN]
	[CANOPENDOORS]
	[FLIER]
	[PREFSTRING:raw power]
[BODY:HUMANOID_NECK:2EYES:2EARS:2WINGS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_LARGE_EYE_TEETH:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:TONGUE:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]

	Next we use body detail plans (which have their own raw file) to streamline the addition of some of the common materials, tissues and their relationships with each other.

	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
		[REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
		[REMOVE_MATERIAL:LEATHER]
		[REMOVE_MATERIAL:HAIR]
		[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE]

	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]
		[REMOVE_TISSUE:SKIN]
		[REMOVE_TISSUE:HAIR]
		[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE]

	[SELECT_TISSUE:TOOTH]
		[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:STEEL]
		
	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SCALE:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]

	Eyebrows and eyelashes are manually added here.

	And nails.

	[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CLAW:NAIL_TEMPLATE]
	[USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:CLAW:CLAW_TEMPLATE]
	[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:CLAW:FRONT]
	[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:TOE:CLAW:FRONT]

	[SELECT_TISSUE:CLAW]
		[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:STEEL]

	Set up some major arteries that couldn't be handled in the raw templates.  The selection commands can be used to grab tissue layers to adjust their properties after they have been created.

	[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
	 [PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER:SCALE:BY_CATEGORY:THROAT]
		[TL_MAJOR_ARTERIES]

	Then back to some more body detail plans.

	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_HEAD_POSITIONS]
	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_HEAD_POSITIONS]
	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RIBCAGE_POSITIONS]
	[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RELSIZES]
	[RELSIZE:BY_CATEGORY:LIVER:200] Of course!  Standard relative size for humanoids is 200.

	Tendons and ligaments are currently very abstract, but adding these flags will let wounds occur that damage them.  The number afterward is the healing rate.  Lower is faster.

	[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SINEW:SINEW_TEMPLATE]
	[TENDONS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]
	[LIGAMENTS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]

	This makes the creature susceptible to severed nerves when muscles are torn in limb, grasp and stance parts.

	[HAS_NERVES]

	This controls the bleeding behavior.

	[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]
	[BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]

	These classes are used by syndromes (such as poison) as well as some restricted entity positions.  You can name them whatever you want.

	[CREATURE_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

	Some tags to control the overall infection behavior.

	[GETS_WOUND_INFECTIONS]
	[GETS_INFECTIONS_FROM_ROT]
	[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PUS:PUS_TEMPLATE]
	[PUS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:PUS:LIQUID]

	Some additional materials.

	Attributes for dwarves are still described in terms of the median value below, but the actual game effects are altered according to the raw numbers.  The numbers are different percentile values.  1000 is the human median for all attributes, so dwarven strength, for instance, has a higher median of 1250, although they suffer from their smaller size.

	Attack definitions are formatted as follows:

	[ATTACK:PUNCH:BODYPART:BY_TYPE:GRASP]
		[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
		[ATTACK_VERB:punch:punches]

		This means that the attack will use as much of the available tissue as possible, rather than, say, thrusting with a spike.

	Here, GENERAL_BABY_NAME is at the creature level, and BABYNAME is at the caste level.  These names could be gender-specific but aren't right now.

	[SMELL_TRIGGER:1]
	[LOW_LIGHT_VISION:10000]

	This is the new format for making specific unit names for a creature.  Any unit token can be used.  If you want to add a caste-specific profession name, use CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME instead, once the caste has been declared.

So you want them to only be made of ice?

It may look something like this. I'm not quite sure how well this will work though.

It is made purely of ice. I did this by removing all of its tissues and materials and replacing them with these lines:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

	[TISSUE:ICE]
		[TISSUE_NAME:ice:ice]
		[TISSUE_MATERIAL:WATER]
		[MUSCULAR]
		[FUNCTIONAL]
		[STRUCTURAL]
		[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
		[CONNECTS]
		[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
		[TISSUE_MAT_STATE:SOLID]
	[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ICE]

This creates a tissue unique to the creature called ICE. This tissue is used for the creature's body.

I then made it heatproof by adding these lines:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

	[SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
	  	[COLDDAM_POINT:NONE]
		[HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
		[IGNITE_POINT:NONE]
		[IF_EXISTS_SET_MELTING_POINT:11999]
		[IF_EXISTS_SET_BOILING_POINT:11999]

11,999 is just under the temperature of magma, so it will melt once it reaches that temperature.

Like I said, I'm not completely certain of how well it works, but it does not give me any errors in the errorlog.
