3 or six, though I'm more in favor of six since the symbol's more prominent

my laptop started spasming, so i updated the dffd file with the latest additions. better safe than sorry, that's what i say.

heydude, how long will the new poll last? also, when you believe the reproduction system is ready, we should merge it with the rest of the mod. that way, the non graphic part will be pretty much ready.

[heydude6]

Well the only thing left to do is remove my make queen start on embark feature (it had many bugs), add the material force multiplier for maggot teeth, make custom maggot teeth material instead of using lamellar leather and adding the bleeding syndrome.

So sure, I will upload what I have right now but you still have to make the single use make a queen interaction.

THIS IS ONLY THE REPRODUCTION SYSTEM. DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THIS ON YOUR OWN LET THAN ADD THIS TO THE OFFICIAL VERSION FIRST!

Here it is. Do not replace  the creature file with my version (the rest are fine to replace). I played around with it for testing purposes and I messed a few things up. such as removing the queen infighting interaction. The creature file is only there so you can extract CDI's from it. Do not extract these CDI's

   [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:STERILIZE_NONQUEENS]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:will not become queen]
      [CDI:TARGET:A:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
     [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:2000]
     [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:0]
      [CDI:FREE_ACTION]
   
    [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:SELECT_QUEEN1]

   [CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY]
        [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:A:1]
        [CDI:FREE_ACTION]
     

They were only put in for testing purposes.

I also created a joints body file for the wasps making it so that it is possible to break their limbs by wrestling. Also there are a few redundancies in the file such as the old interactions and the most of the queen egglaying ones.  Only 3 of them are actually used. Which 3? I don't remember. I will remove these redundancies once the graphics are done.

Anyways I need to tell you guys how to install the DFhack script, PLEASE READ THIS

Go to the hack folder and go to the scripts folder, from there go to the succubus folder and replace the makeown script with this one. this script runs the sucubus makeown stuff as well as the wasp makeown stuff.

Also boltgun, I cannabalized your code in the process of making this script although it seems like you designed your makeown script to be able to be expanded into other races, so props for you. Anyways sorry for using your code without asking first.

Bugs that you might have:

If you infest a creature that is older than the wasps lifespan the wasp will instantly die

You might crash on embark. Don't worry just try again.

The game will crash if the queen lays her eggs while standing on a brook. (I currently added the NO_WATER interaction tag so I hope that will stop the queen from attempting to lay eggs on the brook)

EDIT: nevermind, i'll get down to it

[heydude6]

So sure, I will upload what I have right now but you still have to make the single use make a queen reaction.

ok, so i make the single use interaction you suggested, not the manual one. right?

There, fixed my typo, sorry about that.

Also you should make it so that the queen gives all of the wasps a syndrome so that the rest of the wasps who try to perform the reaction do not become queen. You would do that by making the transformation syndrome an interaction and giving it IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:whatever class the queen's syndrome is. If you need more help just ask. Also don't forget to make it use truetransform.

yeah, i've done it. i practically copied and adjusted the overlord reaction, so it should work fine. it's a bit late on my timezone, so i think i'll do the merge tomorrow. i'll also update the manual

what you just wrote is really making me reconsider the wasps' lifespan thing. i mean, how easy do you thing it will be to find enough suitable targets so you have plenty of wasps to replenish your losses and so they don't die after a couple of years?

one last thing: since it's easy for them to lose their limbs, how about an interaction that heals the wasp once per year?

[heydude6]

Well actually I plan on making it so that when the wasp infects some of the older creatures: dwarfs, elfs, goblins, others that get reported. That the new wasp will be temporarily given a no_aging tag that lasts as long as a regular waspen lifespan.

Also I don't think they should regrow limbs because those are cannibalism targets. We have it for a reason. Also they have many limbs that can replace it.

[than402]

good points. so, aside from a couple of details, the features are all but complete. how are the graphics going?

[heydude6]

Well unfortunately I've been busy so the only the only time I have to work on the graphics is on the weekends. I work at a pace of 10 sprites per weekend. Still it's going well and I'm making good progress.

Than, small question. Can you draw the sprites for the wasp gods for me? You also have to draw a zombie and skeletal version of them.

[than402]

of course. so, what program do i use? MS paint?
