I am new to the DF modding and I agreed to see if I could mod a new creature into the game for somebody. I can program so I'm not completely a fish out of water, but to make a long story short I think I bit off a bit more than I can chew and here is my current problem.
I need to make this creature skinless. I am using a standard body materials plan. How do I go about removing the skin from it. I assume I would need to use the following tags?
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:HAIR]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:SKIN]
And then in the body detail plan add the following tags?
[REMOVE_TISSUE:HAIR]
[REMOVE_TISSUE:SKIN]
Then I would need to remove the skin layer from my body detail plan like this?
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE]
My final problem is I think the following tags from the original template I am using are going to be an issue.
[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
[PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER:SKIN:BY_CATEGORY:THROAT]
[TL_MAJOR_ARTERIES]
From what I understand this last set of tags is creating major arteries through the skin layer of the throat body part. Since I have removed the skin layer from this creature what exactly will this cause to happen? I'm pretty sure it will fail, but I am not quite sure how, or what to do about fixing it.
