Creature class renaming question
« on: July 23, 2019, 09:51:59 pm »

Sorry in advance if this is a silly question  :)

I am new to df and I've been having a lot of fun with it, and I'm also new to modding, which I've also been having a lot of fun with. I've been making very simple mods by editing the raws, of relevance I have made it so male horses are called stallions while females are called mares, and so on for a couple other animals.
My question is, would it be at all possible to change the class name of an animal based on whether or not it's gelded? I changed the names of horses to reflect real life, but also in real life gelded male horses are called "geldings", gelded bulls are called "steer", and so no, so it would be neat to see that reflected in-game as well.

Thank you for reading!

No, there's no easy, good way to do that. You could probably use dfhack, but beyond that I can't think of anything.
