I'm trying to make an icebreath attack.
I created a new material template because reasons for this that is similar to water except for the fact it's a gas at room temperature, and it has to be absurdly cold for it to not be a gas.
However, when made into a dust-breath (which would make it at the correct temperature for it to exist at such a point), it is still a harmless room-temperature gas instead of a freeze-off-your-smaller-body-parts dust.
Troubleshooting?
And before you ask, yes I'm making wizards.
Oh, and they and their female version are still addressed as "humans" and don't blink between their alttile.

Has your material a MAT_FIXED_TEMP?

I didn't think that was necessary. The wiki doesn't say it is, and that's all I had to go by.
Going to try that.

Is there any way for me to make cloth chairs called cushions? Or is the coffin/casket/sarcophagus type stuff hardcoded?

Making a cloth chair is simple enough:

[REACTION:CHAIR_CLOTH]
   [NAME:craft cushion]
   [BUILDING:TANNER:CUSTOM_ALT_C]
   [REAGENT:A:20000:CLOTH:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:CHAIR:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
   [SKILL:CLOTHESMAKING]

Unrelated question, is there a way to specify eggs from a specific creature as a reagent?

[FallenAngel]

I found the problem - I had the melting and boiling points swapped.

Fairly certain that names are hardcoded, with the only exception I know of being for blocks, which can be done on a materials basis and in vanilla is used to rename clay blocks to bricks.

As for specific eggs as reagents, the item and material line would look something like this:

Code: (Chicken eggs) [Select]

EGG:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:BIRD_CHICKEN:EGGSHELLThough the material may also be EGG_WHITE or EGG_YOLK, I'm not entirely sure which of the three it would be.

[MoonMan]

Your egg reagent worked, thanks. Bummer about the item names.

So I read (haven't actually achieved it in adventure mode myself yet) that it is possible to bind demons that come out during world gen using the plaques found in the bottom of the demonic fortresses.  What is the status on utilizing the related tags to make it work more like a normal secret or interaction?
I am thinking for example, of a pokemon kinda mod where the player runs around and gets plaques to bind each kind of creature, either by entire species (if possible) or of individual semi-megabeast units.  For this to work, in a practical manner, each secret of binding would need to show up in a necromancers tower.  Or if won't work like that, just directly giving the each playable race a caste that has the interaction to gain the ability to bind as a natural ability.

If this hasn't been figured out yet, does anyone have any suggestions on the kind of SCIENCE! and modding I would need to do to figure it out?  I imagine an uncompressed save followed by looking through the procedurally generated raws might be necessary.

We must figure this out, sadly I have no way to extract raws... can someone extract raws and find a binded demon/slab to see if it isnt just hard coded?

I was kinda hoping that i could make a sort of "Overlord" mod, and since there are more reasons to learn secrets and things i can get creative.

If anyone was interested, Toady answered my question about this in the future of the fortress.  Its tied to the generated UNIQUE_DEMON token (which can't be modded).

Before I continue on my quest to make wizards, is it possible for cold objects covering a body part to cause frostbite, or is that restricted to the environment?
This is technically modding-related since such things happen extremely rarely outside of modding.

All I have is anecdotal evidence of my adventurer picking up a dagger that was well below freezing and having their hand get frostbitten. I have not done any real testing with this before, and am not 100% sure how it works.

What was the delay between picking up the dagger and being told about damage from the cold?

[BlackFlyme]

I can't quite remember, since that adventure was back in May. It was fairly quick though, I only got a couple of steps before it started warning me.

I'm not even certain how cold the dagger was either. It was stuck in some ice and I took it out once the pool thawed. It apparently had an ice coating.

I'm testing in the arena right now. Someone is covered in "human ice" which technically is 200 Urists (Water freezes below 10,000 Urists, but we all know that). No signs as of 20th Slate, 1.

I think I recall a post on where someone had several ice spell interactions.  To get frostbite, they used a liquid that was generated at below freezing temperature (I think you set the boiling point really low, so when the game is told to make the material a liquid, it generates it at a temperature below the boiling point and then you also give the liquid a fixed temperature).  You use a liquid so it can cover them, allowing frostbite faster. 
No wait found the thread... they used a syndrome that simulates the effects of frostbite.

Awesome!  I have a few spells I've come up with (with quite a lot of help):

[scamtank]

PRODUCT:20:10 means you have a 20% chance of getting those 10 bars and 80% fuck-all.

[kibaseviltwin]

so i should change 20 to either 90 or 100
