So you know how elves and stuff have their own unique messages they give during diplomacy and invasion messages, is there a way I can set one of those up for a custom entity without overwriting the old ones?

I believe that's hardcoded unfortunately. You can, but it goes beyond standard text file modding and reaches into coding and .exe modification, IIRC, unless something has changed

[Putnam]

It's not quite that extreme, just gotta modify the dipscripts, but yeah, no way to add new ones.

Getting a "no tissue thickness" error for the "head" and "crystaline growths" BPs on this guy.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

in your body plan for the sandworm body, you need [CATEGORY:HEAD] as I believe the BDP layers by category and not by types

also for the growths here is a snippet with colors for changes

That did it, thank ya very much! Can't believe I missed the category tag. Thank ya for the clarification on the custom tissue, too! Wasn't sure what to do with the vascular tag for not-bleeding.

I've taken a bit of a hiatus since .44.05. Were there any changes to the creature and entity raws (i.e. is it safe to copy over my versions of for example body_default to the current version)?

[ZM5]

Depends on which version you're coming back from. Pre-40, definitely not. Post 40, depends - stuff like body_default is mostly unchanged, but the entity_default file and creature_standard file did have a few changes since then (pedestals/display cases added, kobolds having their own pet classes now along with being unable to stake artifact claims, etc.)

Could download WinMerge (or other code comparison tool) and with it, copy raws chunks over while it highlights what is different between the two files / folders.

Hi guys,

I was wandering if there were mods working for the actual version of DF that allowed mouse tracking and or mouse menuing.
I'm fairly new to DF and noticed that such a feature would be incredible to make the game play much more easily, for a beginner in particular.
I know that Shurako did that with MOUSE Fortress (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=102563.0), and there was a similar mod (Mouse query tool http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119575.0) by Falconne, but they don't work anymore, I think.

[Putnam]

Both are included with DFHack now.

Filechanges.txt has all the changes. Haven't noticed any omissions yet since 44.05.

Q: Is there a way to have a creature with a very different body structure in a child stage, before it grows up into an adult stage?

What I want to do is design a creature that has a legless, worm-like "pupa" or "larval" stage that is [MILKABLE], but then - after a certain number of years - changes into an adult that loses the [MILKABLE] token and gains legs, etc.

no. Outright impossible.

[Putnam]

Yeah, even with syndrome screwery it's not viable. It's possible with DFHack--actually kind of trivially, come to think--but it still has oddities even then.
