Evil is for biome selection for wild animals. Not living prevents reanimation. Opposed to life makes them attack anything that is considered alive. Not 100% sure on everything bloodsucker does.

To make teeth noticeable, change all the 100s in [BP_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LENGTH:100:100:100:100:100:100:100] to 110 or higher. As is, all teeth are average size, as they always have a modifier of 100. The middle number is the most common, with each increment to the left or right being progressively less common.

That looks right, the next step is to access the reaction product in a reaction.  I'm on a phone right now, so can't check exactly how the syntax works for that.

Right.
Here's what I'm using right now:
[spoiler]

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:SMOKE_MEAT]
   [NAME:smoke meat]
   [BUILDING:KITCHEN:NONE]
   [REAGENT:a:3:MEAT:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:SMOKED_MEAT_MAT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:CHEESE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:a:SMOKED_MEAT_MAT]
   [SKILL:COOK]

It creates the product just fine, it just doesn't get stockpiled.[/spoiler]

I think you might be missing some of the following from the normal meat template:

Code: [Select]

        [MEAT]
[BUTCHER_SPECIAL:MEAT:NONE]
[MEAT_NAME:NONE:meat:meat]

I have all [MEAT] products wither into nothing over the course of several days, so no, turning it into a [MEAT] product is the opposite of what I'm trying to accomplish. D:

Barring another solution, I'm just going to add [CHEESE_CREATURE] to the Smoked Meat material definition.

So it seems that any creature with a size less than 45k cannot pick up a pick or axe to do work with. Is this true or has something gotten messed up.

Picks and axes both have the tag [MINIMUM_SIZE:42500]

[hauntedmoth]

Ah I see. Interesting.

would it be possible to make a syndrome that transforms victims into statues? thinking of making a gorgon/medusa race...

I posted a similar question a few days ago and didn't get an answer on this either. I'm very curious if we can change tissue compositions via syndrome, if it's even possible. One of my mods I'm working on hinges on this being possible...

[BlackFlyme]

Doubt it is possible to change the current tissues of a creature, but one thing you can try is to create a transformation syndrome that turns the victim into an immobile "statue" creature, which has flesh of stone.

Part of my mod relies on the fact that it is the same creature, unfortunately. Is changing caste possible on a creature?

[BlackFlyme]

Yep.

[Bosa]

Yep.

Could you elaborate on that? Also, is it just changing caste or is it turning a creature into a new creature of a specific caste, because that won't work for my purposes either... I think. Doesn't that give you a new randomized version of the old creature? Also how does that effect naming?

[BlackFlyme]

You change the creature into a specified creature and caste defined within the transformation syndrome.

For example, a werebeast's bite carries this effect:

Code: [Select]

[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:16800]
[CE:CREATURE:WEREBEAST:DEFAULT]
[CE:PERIODIC:MOON_PHASE:27:0]
So the syndrome will not take effect for 16800 ticks. The creature that the target turns into is defined by its creature ID, followed by its caste ID. If there are no castes, then you would just put DEFAULT instead. The periodic argument isn't necessary, and in this case is for ensuring that the transformation only takes place during a full moon.

Though do note that a transformation lasts until a defined END point, so if your syndrome has no end, then the transformation is permanent. Without DFHack, a creature cannot be transformed again while currently under the effects of another transformation syndrome.

Names will still be the same, though body attributes may be different. This may include age.

That's what I thought, shame. I was planning something similar to CulixCupric, where the creature turns to stone, but in my version of Gorgons I was going to make the actual paralysis with a very small chance to resist, so that very rarely you get a heavy duty stone dwarf instead of a useless living immobile statue. I thought about doing this with a stone caste, but it will make a very different looking dwarf, even if named the same, unfortunately.

With enough DFHack, you could change all of the attributes to match the old ones (though you might want to skip the skin color).  There are actual descriptors and also some data about genetics that affect offspring.  If the stone caste is sterile you don't need to worry about genetics, but you also lose control over the pronoun used in flavor text.
