Ok so I added this
[CREATURE:EQUIPMENT_WAGON]
   [NAME:zeppelin:zeppelins:zeppelin]
   [TILE:'w'][COLOUR:1:0:0]
   [FLIER]
   [EQUIPMENT_WAGON][COMMON_DOMESTIC]
   [NOT_BUTCHERABLE]
   [ITEMCORPSE:BAR:SUBTYPE_IRON:METAL]
   [NOSMELLYROT]
   [BODY:ZEPPELIN]
   [SIZE:36]
   [ALL_ACTIVE]
   [NO_GENDER]
   [MATERIAL:IRON]
   [TRADE_CAPACITY:45000]

to raw/objects/creature_equipment, in hopes of perhaps having a flying caravan visit my fortresses, but I'm guessing it probably won't work at all and that I've overlooked/completely ignored certain aspects of modding. This is the first mod I've ever attempted in anything, and it's looking like it'll crash and burn... like the Hindenburg... which is moot cause there won't be zeppelins.

I also made a body_default thingy
[BODY:ZEPPELIN]
[BP:COCKPIT:cockpit]
[BP:FUSELAGE:fuselage]
[BP:BALLAST:ballast][CON:FUSELAGE][STANCE]
[BP :DINING_GONDOLA:dining gondola][CON:FUSELAGE]

So yeah input please.

Well, they may spawn, but they'll be pulled by two pack animals and ridden by a merchant sitting up front.  They'll also  look exactly like wagons.

Now, you might be able to pull off a flying wagon, if you add the flier tag to the merchant, the wagon pullers, and the wagon itself.  Could be fun.

Hades' chariot anyone?

And his elves are looking hairier than ever. And smellier. And drunker. Heck, these aren't elves!

Ok then how would I go about making the merchants and pack animals fliers as well?  And does the look of the vehicle depend on the "tile?"

Helios may be more appropriate... I don't think Hades' could fly.

[Cosmonot]

I doubt that the AI can handle flying wagons right now.

Indeed, Hadies had a flying chariot; I believe it was mentioned when in the tale wherein he steals the daughter of Persephone, or it might have been Persephone who he kidnapped, and all that leads to why there is winter. That and pomegranates. Pomegranates made winter.

You can make new pack animals and name them "Hot air makers" hahaha

[Dari]

Well I guess then in a wagon th e"propulsion" is the pack animal that draws it, so in a zeppelin it would make sense that the pack animal in question simply be an engine, however I'm not sure that you can assign an animal in... whatever folder is required specifically to a type of wagon, so that may or may not be a bummer. Also can the pack animals be targeted independently from the wagon?

[Mel_Vixen]

With the tag [WAGON_PULLER] you can make an Animal pull a Wagon. As far as i can see only Horses have that tag. The question is does the wagon move without a horse if he has a Bodypart(or flyer) that could make him move.

The description of the Wagon in creature_equipment has a tag [EQUIPMENT_WAGON] so i think if you delete this tag (maybe)your wagon will not get any Animals to pull it.

Maybe adding the Swimer tag makes the wagon to a "boat".

but then I think [EQUIPMENT_WAGON] means that it is a wagon, if it doesnt have it, it wont be sent.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I think that it rather means that the creature cannot move by itself, and must be pulled. Creatures like mules have the trade capacity tag (I think) that tells how much stuff can be stuffed into the creature for trading purposes. So removing the equipment_wagon might have the creature appear by itself. You would probably get roaming wagons around then though....

[Mel_Vixen]

I think the [CREATURE:EQUIPMENT_WAGON] tag makes a Wagon a Wagon. The extra [EQUIPMENT_WAGON] tag makes it pullable.

Maybe someone could ask Toady about it?
