Oh, if you are attempting to make them vermin for the sake of making it so that they cannot be hit, it will not work.

Normal vermin act like vermin, but civilized vermin are more like proper creatures, and can actually be attacked. This goes for Fort-Mode controlled units and adventurers, though I do not know if all units would behave like that.

[Urist McCoder]

Thanks.

New question, how do you make sure a civ has a pet like how dwarves always have cats and dogs.

[TheFlame52]

You can't make only a particular civ have a pet. It's all civs or none. I ran into this problem with fire imps' singe deer and phoenixes.

I'm not really sure where to ask this, but I'm looking for a mod I found a while ago where there was a creature or secret that could transform into all kinds of creatures. What mod was it?

[BlackFlyme]

There are various pet-type tokens you can give them that can control what types animals they may use.

USE_ANY_PET_RACE
USE_CAVE_ANIMALS
USE_EVIL_ANIMALS
USE_GOOD_ANIMALS
COMMON_DOMESTIC_MOUNT
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PET
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL

I think Dwarf Chocolate both has secrets that include shape-shifting. At the very least, it has a file full of shape-shifting interactions.

Genesis also has druids that can polymorph into a dire wolf.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

[TheFlame52]

Ah, yes, that's what I was looking for. Thanks.

[Snergler]

anybody know if it is possible to mod the stockpile categories, like making weapons stockpile have a "gem" material setting for
trapcomps or weapons made of gem materials

[Putnam]

No, you cannot mod the GUI at all mostly, except keybindings.

Why is why we love our dfhack wizards for figuring out how to do overlays and all the other wonderful toys they provide/enable/share with us.

[Sver]

Is there any difference between 1-3 armor levels?

And is it possible to remove creature-related prefixes from materials like leather by basic modding (without DFhack)? If yes, then how?

Armor levels dictate what civs use it for. They prefer the highest option for serious business combat armor.

Sure, just stick [NO_PREFIX] in the leather material template. That means you'll have 400 thousand different leathers all named "leather", but it'd shorten the inventory descriptions.

Thanks for help! Though the second answer is a little bit disappointing, but whatever.

How do I make so that all civs have my pet?

[BlackFlyme]

There are various pet-type tokens you can give entities that can control what types of animals they may use.

USE_ANY_PET_RACE
USE_CAVE_ANIMALS
USE_EVIL_ANIMALS
USE_GOOD_ANIMALS
COMMON_DOMESTIC_MOUNT
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PET
COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL

Not quite as simple as all or none, but the entity tags above will allow an entity to get a certain pet if the animal matches with the permissions.

The easiest way to allow most entities to use your animal would probably be to give the creature [COMMON_DOMESTIC] and [PET]

[Urist McCoder]

Well...I missed the pet tag(face palm.)

[Urist McCoder]

How do you make a material with a syndrome?

[Putnam]

You literally just put the syndrome into the material, same way as any other material that has a syndrome.

[Urist McCoder]

Where can I find an example.
