How would I go about adding patches of hair to specific  parts of a creature? I'm building a custom creature and I want the back of the head, upper and lower bodies to have fur as well as patches on the forearms and the whole of the lower leg. The creature parts are all from body_default.txt

And if I wanted to make a caste that had slabs of rock attached to the same places, what would be the best way?

Take it to http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168353.1725

I have? You just linked to this thread

[Klip]

If the snakeman is lying down they could use their tail already to wrestle, but not while standing up. If you rename the tail to upper tail and add a "lower tail" with the limb tag that should qualify as a wrestling part. The torso I don't think can be used. Something shouldn't be both a limb and a torso part simultaneously iirc.

You can make the tail more powerful by increasing it's relative size. There should be a token for that, I can't recall what it is right now I'm at work... Check the wiki.

ok ya I guess animal snakemen don't get the tail lash unlike serpentment but both don't get to wrestle with tails even laying down

[Klip]

What would be involved in making snakemen's(and just snakes too I guess) tails usable for wrestling and could I give it a buff since it would be a much larger and stronger limb?

also is there a way I could link upper body with strangulation or crushing to imitate constriction if the pressure is strong enough?

try adding [LIMB] to tail in body default. The buff would have to be in the actual tail attack on the creature.

No, but you could try to add a lung paralysis contact syndrome to the tail attack.

Is there a way to do this with  raw explorer? it seems much friendlier than just coding it

Is there a way to do this with  raw explorer? it seems much friendlier than just coding it

I have never used raw explorer.

try adding this to body_default.txt:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:TAIL_UPPER]
[BP:U_TAIL:lower body:STP][CONTYPE:LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:TAIL_UPPER][STANCE]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:100]
[BODY:TAIL_LOWER]
[BP:L_TAIL:tail:STP][CONTYPE:STANCE][CATEGORY:TAIL_LOWER][LIMB]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]

you can add [GRASP] to the lower tail if you want it to be able to wield weapons too.

then try changing your snake man raw body to:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:BASIC_1PARTBODY:BASIC_HEAD:UPPER_TAIL:LOWER_TAIL:2EYES:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:MOUTH:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_FANGS:RIBCAGE]

and add the following to the creature:

Code: [Select]

[ATTACK:CONSTRICT:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:BODY_LOWER:BY_CATEGORY:TAIL_LOWER]
[ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
[ATTACK_VERB:whip:whips]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:300]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]

Also adding this to the creature, might make it decide to constrict more:

Code: [Select]

[NATURAL_SKILL:WRESTLING:12]

I don't know how you could get the constriction strangulation/crushing to work by an npc, but here is my initial idea (it would have to be applied to an attack or as sweat or something and it would be used during regular attacks too). You will have to play around with it

Code: [Select]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POISON:CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL:constriction]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:constriction]
[SYN_CONTACT]
        [CE_PARALYSIS:SEV:2500:PROB:100:BP:BY_CATEGORY:LUNG:ALL:RESISTABLE:SIZE_DILUTES:START:5:PEAK:20:END:100]

if this doesnt work, post the errorlog

[Quaksna]

Putnam! I summon you! I know you're here!

How does that instant transmission script of yours work exactly?
If I'm getting this correctly, it should teleport my adventurer to enemy creature?
What I want to do is basically some sort of adventure teleport triggered by interaction (from slab).


modtools/interaction-trigger -onAttackStr "warp with a spell" -onDefendStr "warps with a spell" -command [ instant_transmission ]

Am I... Missing something? Thanks in advance!

Question: I'm planning on making a lizard person, but with hair alongside the scales. How would I go about making these tissues co-exist?

[Enemy post]

That's easy, just give them the tags for both hair and scales from creatures that have those.

[Logariter]

You'll have to call the scale tissue with [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SKIN:SCALE_TEMPLATE], rather than [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:SCALE:SCALE_TEMPLATE], or else the hair might act weirdly.

Hello!

(not sure if I'm doing this whole posting thing right)

I've played DF for a while now and decided to try some modding. I've made a creature and now I'm trying to make it stronger by giving it an interaction, using which it can cause a dizziness syndrome on it's opponents.

This is what I have so far:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

glare

[OBJECT:INTERACTION]

[INTERACTION:GLARE]
   [I_TARGET:C:CREATURE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_FORBIDDEN:NOT_LIVING]
      [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS]
      [IT_MANUAL_INPUT:creatures]
    [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
       [IE_TARGET:C]
       [IE_IMMEDIATE]
       [SYNDROME]   
         [SYN_NAME:glared on]
         [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
         [CE_DIZZINESS:SEV:500:PROB:100:START:1:PEAK:100:END:1000]
         [CE_ERRATIC_BEHAVIOR:SEV:350:PROB:100:START:10:PEAK:100:END:1200]

and the can do interaction in the creature raw:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:GLARE]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:Glare]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:ATTACK]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:NEGATIVE_SOCIAL_RESPONSE]
      [CDI:TARGET:C:LINE_OF_SIGHT]
      [CDI:TARGET_RANGE:C:20]
      [CDI:MAX_TARGET_NUMBER:C:1]
      [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:60]
      [CDI:VERB:glare:glares:NA]
      [CDI:TARGET_VERB:feel very awful:feels very awful]

When I try to use the interaction in DF (adv mode), it is called "Unknown interaction" and whenever used just does nothing. The error log says that the interaction token was not recognised, twice. I mostly just tried to copy details from the syndrome page on the DF wiki. I'm not sure where and how many times I made a mistake, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do I run a DFHack script with a syndrome?

Make sure the filename the glare interaction is under says interaction_glare.txt, and that string at the top above object:interaction would also have to say interaction_glare, otherwise it wont be read during raw initialization. IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS needs a string after it; the syndrome class youre trying to prevent being targeted, so something like IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:GLARE_IMMUNE. Besides those it looks fine.

@Mim; try the dfhack help thread; no idea how to do that myself.

This may be a really simple problem, but I have been making this mod that adds a gremlin civilization, and they will not chop down trees.
They have an axe-equivalent and it shows up in their wagon, they have woodcutter as a permitted job, but every time I designate trees in fortress mode no one does the work.
Here's the code for the axe, if that helps:

Are you sure that they're big enough, and that they have working hands?
