oh, I thought that their might have been a REMOVE_SYNDROME tag or something to the effect of but I will look into overridding the transformations with a different type of transformation unless the were's berserk tag can be removed. but then that leaves the vampires can they even get the were syndrome?

Does CHILDNAME (caste) override GENERAL_CHILD_NAME? The wiki says its the general child name applied regardless of caste, so I'm not too sure what to think here.

yes

is their something in the raws that I can change that would increase a dwarfs chance of surviving getting drank (drink, drunk, dring?) by a vampire or is it completely hard-coded, I didn't see anything that screamed blood volume looking at the dwarven creature raws.

The amount of blood a creature has corresponds with their size. Larger creatures have more blood.

Vampire behaviour is hardcoded, though there may be something you could do using syndrome counter-triggers. Not sure what though, as counter-triggers that touch on blood drinking is only capable of affecting the vampire, with the triggers being how long they will be drinking blood for once they started, and how long since they last drank blood.

okay I just might try to do some science as soon as I can find a vampire in my fort, body size is something that I wouldn't need to regen right?

Good information here -- my thanks to the community.  Another question have I if indulged I may be. 

Have the mood triggers changed?  I know that back in the day, a certain amount of underground tiles had to be dug out to trigger the next mood/artifact.  I have also read the population of 20 is required.  I know we can't mod out moods directly, but at least at that point in time(a few years ago) it could be done indirectly by either keeping the population small or not digging enough underground to trigger the next mood. 

Is this still the case, or has something changed?

IIRC you can mod out moods entirely thru the raws, but it is an on/off thing.

Hmm.  If so I'd be very interested in how to do that, I've read elsewhere(not sure where, can't find the link right offhand) that you can't and haven't found anywhere in my own searching through them that it can be done.  Only thing I've seen is the TRANCE token which has apparently only affected martial trances, not moods, for some time now.

Pretty sure it is an option in one of the .ini files, which is somewhere in the data folder, not the raws folder. On phone, so I can't actually check at the moment.

I believe you're looking for [ARTIFACTS:YES] in d_init.txt
It was untied from those arbitrary requirements and the raws quite some time ago, indeed.

Thank you!  That's pretty huge information as it gives me the right direction for how to approach things.

Is there any way to make projectiles unavoidable or at least stupidly hard to avoid? I'm adding some custom historical firearms and, you know, jumping away from a musket ball is pretty much impossible :P

So I haven't really played 0.40.xx except for a quick try when it was new, and was wondering what raw mods people are still doing to fix little quirks of the game.

Things that I used to change the raws for, that seem to be fixed by Toady in various stages of 0.40 are:
  • Turtles and tortoises should appear now; I used to add [LARGE_PREDATOR] to them iirc
  • Both egg-layers and non-egg-layers (they were fixed separately) can now breed even if they don't have a baby/child state listed; I used to add this for some creatures, e.g. GCS
  • Large grazers won't starve to death anymore?
  • Toady fixed material values for obsidian
  • Someone mentioned alphabetizing stones in the raws, I don't think I ever did it, but it seems Toady did in 0.40.15

Then of course there's some other stuff I occasionally added to the raws that was decidedly not just bugfixes, like more stones available for stone tools, and the stone tools&weapons themselves: axes, pickaxes and maces iirc. I think I also added some sharpness/edge tag to more stone types, so stuff other than obsidian could be used for this. But probably best to ignore those for now.

Things that I think are not yet fixed:
  • All animals just giving one skin and thus one leather when butchered? I used to do the leather-is-globs edit to fix/get around this.
  • Scales, chitin, feather still aren't really usable? I think the Modest Mod fixes this, and I used to do some stuff for this, e.g. add [PEARL] to feather or something, and enable tanning scales into leather somehow.
  • Can larger dwarves (62500+?) now wield 2h weapons like halberds, great axes and 2h swords correctly? The bug was that the "can I wield this" check checked average size for the race, even though size of the individual would make more sense, and that's what the "can I wield this in 1 hand instead of 2" check looked for. The workaround was to reduce the "can wield" size to 60000 i.e. average dwarf size.

tl;dr: Toady has fixed a bunch of stuff during 0.40 that used to require raw modding to work around it, if you wanted e.g. to breed GCS. What raw mods do you feel are still necessary?

A high skill on the shooter should make the dodging harder. Could make the shooter-skill level up very rapidly, to reflect how easy musket is compared to bow.
Also can command that the dodging skill goes up very slowly, and decays quickly. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Skill#Skill_rust
