Is there an updated version of Shaostoul's cheating mod? It was made several years ago and I am pretty sure many items were added since then.

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Shaostoul%27s_Guide

[Putnam]

Incidentally, is bodygloss only pre-defined stuff?

Could you bodygloss scales to skin if you were say, too lazy to go and add another template with the better materials just for a subspecies of dorf that results from a deliberate syndrome? I figured out how to do part of it in my efforts to bring the colossi in line with the tougher material using megabeasts I already have, but right now I'm just using the [REPLACE_MATERIAL:SCALE] method to put skin in, I'd be happy if I could just have the scales called skin on this particular creature.

I tried [BODYGLOSS:SCALE:SKIN] which seemed to make sense but didn't work, oh, a less creature specific question!

You have to actually define the body gloss in the body files.

For someone who hasn't been around in a while, and just wants a crash course to hop back in, is there anything I need to update about any given mods I might have made for myself from back in 0.34.x to 0.40.24? 

For an expanded question, what changes are there in modding since then (new limitations/opportunities)?

[BlackFlyme]

Most comprehensive I've seen would be Tomi's notes, which I've quoted below.

Here's the 2014-September version of my "to-.40" notes. I haven't seen a bigger guide around. Man, 650 creatures' speed and swim speed... Took a bit of researching (not the swim speed.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

- [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3] every effing where. 3 -> "more like 1/24th of a fort tick, but gets rounded up to one." adv tick is 72 fort ticks. " it seems you guys are right that attack speeds will affect fort mode aswell. "

- "For no-pole, base temperatures of at least 85 make an environment tropical" -Toady

____Globs are measured like bars now. Try REAGENT:tallow:150:GLOB instead.
__"Yeah, just use [GRAZER:#] in an animal to revert it to what it was before.  GRAZE_COEFFICIENT only affects the STANDARD_GRAZER formula."
_ size of a tile is: "I think for the purposes of the minecarts it turned out to be 2m x 2m x 3m with 10 clicks / second" -Toady One

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Also, there are CANNOT_JUMP and CANNOT_CLIMB (this one is only needed if the creature has grasps - no creature
in the stock raws uses this) to prevent a creature from jumping/climbing or STANCE_CLIMBER to allow a creature
to climb with its feet/stance parts, VISION_ARC (in the format [VISION_ARC:150:310], binocular vision, non-binocular
vision), MULTIPART_FULL_VISION which (probably) causes the creature to have a full vision arc while it has multiple heads,
NO_VEGETATION_PERTURB, which probably causes the creature to leave no tracks on vegetation, and several other new tags.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odor level is how smelly the creature is. Higher levels are more smelly.
Smell trigger is how well creatures can smell things. Lower is better. If the smell trigger is lower than the odor level, then the creature can smell the source of the odor, if it is close enough.
Both smell triggers and odor levels default to 50, I believe. It's mentioned in the future of the fortress thread, though it may have changed since then.
You can also apply an odor string to describe the smell. For example, fire snakes now have [ODOR_STRING:smoke]. So instead of it saying "you smell fire snake on the wind" it would say "you smell smoke on the wind".

[ODOR_LEVEL:50][ODOR_STRING:smoke]zero = odorless, default is 50, smell_trigger greaterless than or equal to odor_level detects w/ wind
[SMELL_TRIGGER:50] "low is better.  minimum 1, default is 50, humans set to 90 because they suck"
Tomi: elephant 1, dog 10, 16-19 other dogs,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TREES:
Trunk_period: no idea. Couldn't notice any differences at all from changing this, under various conditions. [tea bush has 10]
branch densities: as you would expect, they create more often branches of that type.
max trunk height: the highest height of A trunk tile, not necessarily in a straight line.
heavy branch radius: seems to be the radius heavy branches can occur at. Does not depend on the trunk branching amount or where trunks are. You can actually have trunks branch out further than heavy branches do. So if this is = 1, you will have heavy branches in a 3x3 area around the center, period.
branch radius: similar.
trunk branching: Seems to be a combination of how "branchy" the shape is (twisting around, not straight line) PLUS how wide out the reach, in one parameter
^again, all three of these seem almost independent of one another. Branching of trunk can seemingly go out further than other branches do, for instance.
max trunk diameter: seems to only affect the base of the tree, and only go up to a max of 3x3 in size, no matter what you set.

Also, trees appear to be limited to a 7x7 area above their first tile in width, no matter what parameters you set. If you set all the branching radii and everything super high, you just get fully filled 7x7 rectangles going up. As you set them lower, it will take on different more or less filled oval shapes.
Also, biomes or perhaps temperatures or something can affect these variables. I have a world with ONLY one species of tree in existence, and on some embarks, it has 3x3 trunks all over the place and massive 7x7 canopies. And on other embarks, they are exclusively 1x1 initial trunks and tiny canopies ??? I haven't made any rhyme or reason out of it.

A quick crash course in changes would be the movement overhaul, which now relies on gaits rather than a set speed. So now walking, running, or slowly creeping are now movement options.
Adding on to that is the combat changes. Weapons and natural attacks now have an [ATTACK_SPEED_AND_RECOVER:#:#] token, and you can attack in various styles, or even make multiple attacks at once, though some attacks are flagged as being bad for it.
Plants got a massive overhaul. They can now grow growths such as leaves or fruit, and trees take up multiple Z levels.
LIKES_FIGHTING has been removed, and many personality traits, and even entity based values have been added. There are even dreams and goals that dwarves and other creatures can have.
Some reactions have been un-hardcoded, and the farmer's workshop is now a valid location for reactions to take place.
There is now gelding, as a profession. It can be done to sterilize some male animals.

There is likely more I forgot.

[NW_Kohaku]

Thanks, that's what I needed!

Gaits will likely really help with some of my creature mods, since I had a nagas mod where I wanted them to have burst speeds (coiled leaps) but slow general speeds...

[Max™]

You have to actually define the body gloss in the body files.

...
Suddenly there was a sound of thunder, as somewhere off in the distance a face was palmed with unbelievable force.

[NW_Kohaku]

One more question... I'm trying to play around, but now there's some new "Value" tokens, and nothing on the wiki I can find that explains what they do...

EDIT: These are in the entity tokens... I was thinking of throwing some onto these apparently poor, neglected subterranean critters...

[Putnam]

Every entity lists all of them and they're fairly self-explanatory. They affect units' dreams and what emotions they feel in certain situations. A race that considers power over others a high value will have individuals who want to take over the world more than a race that considers power over others foolish.

[TomiTapio]

Gaits will likely really help with some of my creature mods, since I had a nagas mod where I wanted them to have burst speeds (coiled leaps) but slow general speeds...

Every creature will have a set of speeds; I can't think of a way to implement the leaps you want.
They already have to be moving 'Fast' in order to get to the fastest and 2nd fastest gaits. Then their stamina will run out if they use their fastest speed for like 30 moves. Can't have a "sudden speed burst for 1 turn" AFAIK.

Nagas be "slither faster, slither faster, slither even faster, Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing Boing" 30 coiled leaps ehehehe.
Maybe have the speeds like.... *reads GAIT tag*
Eh, GAIT tag's parameters are hard to grasp since fullspeed:builduptime:maxturningspeed:startspeed:energyuse:unknownor2ndenergyparam  they are in 3 different units
[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS:900:675:450:225:1900:2900]
Try putting huge energy usage on the Naga's fastest speed. Long buildup. Start speed at their most-of-the-time speed.

Gaits on the wiki: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Gait and http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Creature_token#G

[Max™]

A flee usage hint interaction that gives a syndrome with CE_SPEED_CHANGE for a few ticks?

"The naga coils up like a spring." *zoom*

[NW_Kohaku]

No, it's fine for what I need to just have a slower "normal" speed, and a high "sprint" speed that is unsustainable and burns stamina.  It's not so much a lunge as burning all their stamina very quickly, and having slower-than-normal recovery rates. Snakes are like that in real life, as well.  It's not just the coil and strike, but a sudden flurry of activity that requires a longer period of time to recover from.

If anything, the "faster" could be actually slow, representing a coiling, and the "fastest" then is massively faster, but with a natural lower amount of stamina so that it lasts less than normal.

[Putnam]

Yeah, I think you ought to be able to do that by having a low build-up time, very slow start and very fast end.

[GAIT:WALK:coil spring:100:2:1:5000:100:LAYERS_SLOW:STRENGTH]

Like that. I'm pretty sure "build up time" refers to steps taken. That should use twice as much stamina as sprinting.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

How do I make a reaction have brown recluse spider silk as an output?  I'm sick of everybody ignoring the perfectly cave and giant cave spider silk, insisting (invisibly) that they get a type of silk which they've never seen, nobody's ever seen, and then dying of dehydration/going berserk and getting an axe in their brains.

That is, what do I write?  I know how to mod (like, what part to edit).  I just don't know what to write for [PRODUCT:blah].

[Putnam]

[PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:SPIDER_BROWN_RECLUSE:SILK][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:15000]

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Wow, that was fast.  Thanks, Putnam!  For that matter, how about logs, rough gems, raw glass, or...  I think for silk it's [PRODUCT:100:1:THREAD:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT:SILK][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:15000].  Sorry if you feel like I'm "Wow!  You can know that?  Could you do this and this and this and this and this and this..."  If there's a good list of these, a link would be awesome, because I've looked and I haven't found any.

By the way, do you use [...1:CLOTH:NONE...] for making cloth?

I'm going to adjust the percentage chances and make it a "Pray to X" reaction, because I'm currently inside a volcano, with no source of gems, crystal glass, or (not sure) logs.  Maybe have it use the Druid skill as a placeholder and make each thing have a 1% chance?  Or just no skill?  Hmm...
