The affected creature tag should add that caste/creature to the list of valid targets, but not restrict other targets if there are more defined like a creature class or a second or third species.

What can be sacrificed is up to you, but goats are popular eh?

[PresidentFord]

Is there any way to modify the campfire that you can create in adventure mode/find near camped armies?

[Putnam]

Nope.

[EpicMadness]

can anyone confirm if i got the GAIT right?

[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_X_GAITS:SPEED(LF):BUILDUP(LF):ENERGY(LF):SLOWED(LF):STRENGTH(HF):AGILITY(HF):STEALTH(LF)] template
LF = lower is faster
HF = higher is faster

example:
[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS:900:675:450:225:1900:2900:(MISSING)]

the descriptions given by the wiki doesn't really match whats used in the creature files.

[Putnam]

From c_variation_default:

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS]
GAIT:type:name:full speed:build up time:turning max:start speed:energy use
use NO_BUILD_UP if you jump immediately to full speed
these optional flags go at the end:
LAYERS_SLOW - fat/muscle layers slow the movement (muscle-slowing counter-acted by strength bonus)
STRENGTH - strength attribute can speed/slow movement
AGILITY - agility attribute can speed/slow movement
STEALTH_SLOWS:<n> - n is percentage slowed
it would be interesting to allow quirky attributes (like mental stats), but they aren't supported yet
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Sprint:!ARG4:10:3:!ARG2:50:LAYERS_SLOW:STRENGTH:AGILITY:STEALTH_SLOWS:50]
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Run:!ARG3:5:3:!ARG2:10:LAYERS_SLOW:STRENGTH:AGILITY:STEALTH_SLOWS:20]
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Jog:!ARG2:NO_BUILD_UP:5:LAYERS_SLOW:STRENGTH:AGILITY:STEALTH_SLOWS:10]
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Walk:!ARG1:NO_BUILD_UP:0]
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Stroll:!ARG5:NO_BUILD_UP:0]
[CV_NEW_TAG:GAIT:WALK:Creep:!ARG6:NO_BUILD_UP:0]
so it's APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS:walk speed:jog speed:run speed:sprint speed:stroll speed:creep speed

lower is faster for all of them

[EpicMadness]

oh so it was a call token!
i should've checked the other files.

edit: on a side note, should the "gait" token be moved to variation token?


edit2: i just noticed that wiki says [FREQUENCY] is capped to 100, is this true?
also theres the [CHANGE_FREQUENCY_PERC] token that can multiply frequency, can this be used to exceed the 100 base-limit?
frequency at 100 doesn't necessarily make it appear 100% of the time, its split between other spawns.

on a side note, how do i make plants/creatures spawn anywhere with near 100% probability?
also, can grasses have seeds? farming grasses sounds like a good dorfy challenge.

edit3: [CHANGE_FREQUENCY_PERC] doesn't work on plants, errorlog says its not recognized.

How would you make !!FUN!! sites visible on map? The kind that has fun creatures inside.

vaults

[EpicMadness]

do you mean on worldgen? i think they're marked as ruins.

------------------------

is this reaction necessary to gather fruits from trees/shrubs? i can't seem to gather growths without it.
but then why doesn't some plants with growths have this entry?

I don't believe you can make Vaults or Lairs visible. Best way is to use Legends mode or when you are in Fortress Mode to find Vaults (since they contain slabs). Lair's can be found through Legends Mode or it being revealed by Adventure Mode.

[Orbotosh]

Is there a utility that makes position modding tolerable?

[Fatace]

So apparently I learned that ITEMCORPSE is limited to only 1 item for each creature.. or is there a way to have multiple drops for a single creature?

[thefriendlyhacker]

I just use a reaction to turn the ITEMCORPSE into multiple items.

Be aware that pets and intelligent creatures drop ITEMCORPSEs with the dead_dwarf flag on, which will stop you from using them in reactions.

You can use extra butcher objects, and just let the player butcher the corpse for globs of useless whatever plus those butcher objects, but i could never come up with any better way tbh.

Is there a utility that makes position modding tolerable?

I dont know if one exists explicitly for entity positions, but theres several loosely relevant ones on the community mods and utilities list in the modding utilities section like raw explorer and maybe df entity editor.

If theres something specific that isnt working the way you thought it would, then let us know

[EpicMadness]

EBO works, but it needs to be butchered, it won't work with the [NOT_BUTCHERABLE] tag.

for some inexplicable reason a certain pet of mine has it's eggs have a value of 1000...
now i got these extremely luxurious eggs that literally screams "I'M GOLDEN ADAMANTINEN!"...

edit: what the hell, i found out why.
apparently using this with adamantine (or any valuable material for that matter) adds towards the egg's value.
[TISSUE_LAYER_OVER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:{TISSUE ID}]

so if anyone of you guys wants to make a literal golden goose that lays golden eggs, just define a tissue as gold material and use TISSUE_LAYER_OVER to coat it ALL in gold.
