Wild wagons?
« on: December 13, 2007, 07:45:00 pm »
I read somewhere recently that the caravan's wagons are implemented as creatures.

So does this mean I can make herds of wagons spawn around my fort?

Certainly sounds like it.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

Just add a [BIOME:WHATEVER] tag to it and then some other stuff. I believe it's in the raws under creature_item or such.

the spinning bb round hits jack johnson, scumbag in the lower body!
it is pierced through entirely!
his right kidney has been poked out!
his liver has been mangled!
jack johnson, raider has been shot and killed.
The above (including bbcode) neatly weighs in at 255 characters. Fallout meets DF

Butcher the corpses for extra wood!

By the way, it's "Rawhide"

Rawhide Lyrics


Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride.

Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide!
Set 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, let 'em out,
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide.

Full Lyrics

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Rawhide!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide!
Rain and wind and weather
Hell-bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side.
All the things I'm missin',
Good vittles, love, and kissin',
Are waiting at the end of my ride

CHORUS
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Count 'em out, ride 'em in,
Ride 'em in, count 'em out,
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Rawhide!

Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin'
Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My hearts calculatin'
My true love will be waitin',
Be waitin' at the end of my ride.

Rawhide!
Rawhide!


... There was a reason for posting that insane amount of text here, I'm sure of it.  My thought process must have been interrupted by a giant groundhog in the next county.

Well, they wouldn't exactly be giant.

If I make them aquatic, they don't stay on the surface. They can go below the surface.

which gives me another idea: Nautili as megabeasts? Captain Nemo would be proud.  :D

An interesting idea would be to have vehicles work the same as creatures only 3 by 3 instead of 1 by 1, each vehicle able of carrying a couple creatures and various items. It would especially be nice if they had the same tag setup. So, you could have a land vehicle, an [AQUATIC] vehicle, a vehicle with [SPEED:200], or for high magic/high tech mods, a [FLIER] vehicle.

Great idea, although I don't have nearly the skill required to implement it. Actually, the idea of war wagons dawned on me while reading your stories.

Basically, with some parts needing fixed and/or added to it.


Not sure if it works ingame, try adding it to CREATURE_DOMESTIC and make a new world. Dont have time right now to test it.


DAMNIT I FORGOT THE ATTACKS

code:
 [CREATURE:War_Wagon]
   [NAME:War wagon:War wagons:War wagon]
   [TILE:'W'][COLOR:6:0:0]
   [PETVALUE:400]
   [PREFSTRING:impossible sentiencity]
   [COMMON_DOMESTIC][TRAINABLE][PET]
   [NOT_BUTCHERABLE]
   [LARGE_ROAMING]
   [HAS_RACEGLOSS:WOOD]
   [ITEMCORPSE:WOOD:NO_SUBTYPE:WOOD:USE_RACEGLOSS]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:WHEEL:run over:ran over:1:6:GORE]
   [NOSMELLYROT]
   [BODY:WAGON]
   [SIZE:16]
   [ALL_ACTIVE]
   [NO_GENDER]
   [MATERIAL:WOOD:USE_RACEGLOSS]

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.
