Yeah, I might have to mod in eggs for male rocs, since what I've been trying to do is make two male rocs have children. This is way more complicated than I thought.

Tell that to the Rocs.

Can't make egglayers pregnant? No proper birth given?

[Dirst]

DF doesn't have much in the way of sex-specific roles, but what it has is hard-coded.  Females give birth and carry babies; males fertilize.  Creatures that can marry will only mate with their spouse.

That said, not sure what would happen if you set the pregnancy timer on a male.

tested it nothing happens.

I changed one's gender first, but I can't change its caste. Every time I do it transforms back into a male.

The roc is indeed pregnant, it just won't lay eggs. I think I need to do some quick modding.

[expwnent]

Try using modtools/transform-unit to change its caste to that of the opposite sex.

[TheFlame52]

Is that a thing? Let me check if I have it.

You're a bit late, though. I modded male rocs to lay eggs and there we go.

[Rumrusher]

oh  I know why you need to dive into another section of the unit data, some how the unit.caste is just the current caste state, and because how were-creatures work the game needs a check to see what was the original race/caste which allows for the switch back and changes any oddities with not being the right caste.

I did get a crash but I think it was because I had spent like an hour and a half or so doing this and had set most of a forest retreat on fire at that point... but normally it doesn't have those sort of problems.

Really simple really obvious little toy but dammit it is fun.

>.> I totally have it hotkeyed, and I'm resisting the urge to expand it to things that I know I can do like, set everything in an inventory on fire, and I'm pretty sure with a bit of fiddling you could set creatures on fire, but I like the straightforward "I want this item to be on fire now" nature of it.

Well, adding an opponent.anon_1 counter to Roses' add_attack doesn't seem to change anything.  Hard to tell exactly because I keep getting either one-shot knock-out or the bite deflects off of the miner's hood 

The miner does not retaliate if a single shot deflects harmlessly.  Definitely missing an essential element of starting a fight.

Hey dfhackers. Is it possible to use DF hack to adjust the the wind strength on a map? My current fortress has zero wind and I stupidly built a tower and a dozen windmills on top of it. I'd like to solve this problem some how.

I wonder if you could add an attack to both units with a hit chance of ~0, then when they both miss will they still want to fight?

Nice, I was sitting in a forest retreat and all the sleeping elves were boring so I pulled up the loincloth of one and flipped the on_fire flag manually then giggled forever at them setting the tree on fire.

They did it so much faster than going around igniting branches one at a time and I realized there wasn't a script to say "this item should be on fire" and now there is. I'll probably add in an inventory flag to set all the items on a unit on fire, and see if I can get a -here for everything in a square working.

Edit: Oh god...

endItem by item, or entire inventory at once! Weeee!

Oh dear, now you can set an item on fire by viewing it, an inventory on fire by viewing a unit, or a location on fire by putting the cursor there.

Oh, and thanks again for doing the work to make propel, I love being able to launch myself around like a ninja so much.

As for the fight bit, change the target? Try to have it knock out a tooth, or strike the upper body or something?

Hmmm, initiating a grapple tends to reliably start at least a brawl when can then escalate easily enough.

I'm still playing with it a bit, though I'm wondering now if you could make it pull up the body part/attack part/confirm menu because I envy my npc companions for being able to wail on people I've knocked into the air.
