I've been wanting to learn how to mod Dwarf Fortress, beyond playing a tiny bit with creature tags, for quite a while. A few days ago I started playing with reactions and came up with the following to encrust weapons with gems:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ENCRUST]
   [NAME:encrust a weapon with gems]
   [BUILDING:CRAFTSMAN:CUSTOM_SHIFT_D]
   [REAGENT:gem:1:SMALLGEM:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [REAGENT:weapon:1:WEAPON:NONE:NONE:NONE]
      [PRESERVE_REAGENT]
   [IMPROVEMENT:100:weapon:COVERED:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:gem:NONE]
   [SKILL:ENCRUSTGEM]
It worked great, so following that I wanted to make another reaction to encrust armour with gems. I discovered that armour pieces for different slots (legs, helms etc.) have different item tokens and I am unsure how to proceed. I'd like to avoid creating separate reactions for helms, gloves, feet etc. Is it possible create a single reaction that can take any armour piece and apply an improvement to it?

How do item reaction products and material reaction products differ?

The item reaction product can declare the item token, too.

For an example, the brewing reaction uses GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT to turn the resulting booze into the right material of booze, depending on what was thrown into the vat, but it only ever makes DRINK.

However, with the appropriate ITEM_REACTION_PRODUCT tags added to different materials, we could have a reaction make a product like this:

Code: [Select]

[PRODUCT:100:2:GET_ITEM_DATA_FROM_REAGENT:raw material:TOURIST_TRASH]...which would put out whatever item of whatever material the main reagent's ITEM_REACTION_PRODUCT:TOURIST_TRASH token said in the material definition. Gold turns into rings, cloth into dolls, wood into puzzleboxes, beeswax into figurines, tin into bronze mini-forges...

I pored through the token lists, but it seems the reagent tokens don't have a [STUFF_YOU_PUT_ON] qualifier yet. Unfortunately, it seems you have to make a separate reaction for every armor type you want to decorate.

As an aside, it'd be plausible if you stuck to just encrusting chestpieces and helmets. That's where the real bling action always is.

Can one make adventurer start with specific gear(steel 2h sword for example)? I was thinking about making myself black swordsman/berserk mod so I could roleplay Gats while slaying monsters all around but getting specific equipment can be quite time consuming.

When modding armor, does the same values for [LAYER_SIZE:X] always affect weight the same amount, no matter the item type? Like, do iron gauntlets with [LAYER_SIZE:20] weigh the same as an iron breatsplate with [LAYER_SIZE:20]?

[WJLIII3]

It appears that the more complex [GAIT] is now used.

That's a little odd, since speed used to do other things unrelated to walking, such as determining how quickly you completed jobs...

That was one of Toady's stated goals, wasn't it? To separate movement and action speed?

Yeah.

In 0.34.x I used a reaction to make sure most entities had access to metals. The same reaction throws an error in 0.40.x. Is there an elegant way around this?

Code: (Reaction) [Select]

[REACTION:BASE_METAL]
[NAME:base metal]
[BUILDING:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:SILVER][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:TIN][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:COPPER][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:GOLD][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]

Code: (Error) [Select]

*** Error(s) finalizing the reaction BASE_METAL
BASE_METAL: Unrecognized Building Token: NONE

Hmm...
I'm sure you want it to not be cheaty and have it assigned to a workshop...
I have no idea.

If you want to prevent it from being used in fort mode, create a custom workshop that all entities can build, but make sure that workshop is more or less impossible to build (requires a slade sock or something).

Forgive me if this has been asked already, but is it possible to modify the dialogue options, or change the things people say? Like, could I change the default greeting text to "Ahoy thar matey!"?

I haven't checked the differences between this version and the last one, but there are still speech files in the data/speech folder directory.

Was hoping to avoid that. The other option is to add it to a workshop, but have an impossible reagent.

Cheers.

Or just create workshop and do not give access for entity to it? Just access to reaction..

In the previous version you could assign it to a building and then just not give the entity the PERMITTED_BUILDING, and they would still have the metals. You could try that.
