[Steelion]

Ok, my very first new creature. Bits and pieces were taken from the giant cave spider, though there are a number of new components that I'd like some more experienced modders to check out.

Basically, a big, ten legged, crab-clawed monster that likes to hunt down and attack dwarves with a nasty venom that causes pain. (or can it only be paralysis?) I want it to spawn on maps fairly rarely and proceed to attack anything that comes near. What tags do I need to add for that sort of behavior?

Not a critter you want to run into as a fledgling fortress.

[Tubi2b]

*bump* as I too am searching for an answer about venom/toxins/acids...

Not a critter you want to run into as a fledgling fortress.

Currently as far as I've seen, they only cause paralyzation and stunning. I'm not sure if [EXTRACT_FIXED_TEMP:#] does anything on injected extracts either. I would like a sickness(vomiting) inducing poison of a toxin that produces extreme pain/damage on flesh ect.

[Untelligent]

I tried [EXTRACT_FIXED_TEMP:] a while ago, but I don't think it caused my dwarfs to burst into flames. I think it's only used for vials of extract and such.

The only venom-related extract tags that are known for sure to do something are:

[EXTRACT_PARALYZE]. Dwarf is immobile until effect wears off.
[EXTRACT_PARALYZE_INTERMITTENT]. Dwarf will be paralyzed from time to time until effect wears off.
[EXTRACT_STUN]. Dwarf is slowed until effect wears off.
[EXTRACT_STUN_INTERMITTENT]. Dwarf will be slowed from time to time until the effect wears off.
[EXTRACT_PERMANENT]. The above venoms will not wear off until the dwarf is dead or until an antidote is applied. Unfortunately, antidotes aren't usable yet. =D

[i2amroy]

[EXTRACT_PARALYZE_INTERMITTENT]. Dwarf will be paralyzed from time to time until effect wears off.
[EXTRACT_PERMANENT]. The above venoms will not wear off until the dwarf is dead or until an antidote is applied. Unfortunately, antidotes aren't usable yet. =D

These two together are useful for those petrification attacks, (like basilisk stares) that you want to be extremely deadly but not quite an instant kill.

P.S. This is a little off topic, but does anyone know if it would be possible to edit the temperature of the webs that a creature shots out, because then you could create a creature that could shoot out freezing cold webs as a stand-in for ice breath.

[Steelion]

Ok, so pain venom is out. But otherwise it looks good? Any tokens or tags that I need/don't need?

[Eita]

Change the Damblock. Even Dwarves have one higher then 1.

[Tubi2b]

My raws only show dwarves as having 1, and humans are unlisted (as 0?) . I would just use whatever a Giant Cave Spider has.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Tiny nitpick: not "right first leg", but "first right leg", and etc. Number, then side. It just don't sound right otherwise.

[Steelion]

My raws don't give a GCS any damblock at all. Might give it a bit of a buff though. How's 3 sound?

Almost

'first rightleg'

[Steelion]

Ok, sorry to bump, but I was wondering how to increase their numbers. Genned a few worlds with 8500-9000 Spiders each, and played rocky wasteland maps for a couple years- not a single spider. Lots (lots) of camels, but no spiders. I'd really just like to make sure they work the way I want them, so I want them to be more common, at least for a while.

Is it [FREQUENCY]?

Very much new at this   

[Earthquake Damage]

The high/low temp web idea is pretty awesome, actually.  You could simulate frost breath or napalm that way, though there are problems.  First, you'd have to find a way to prevent civs from using the silk (perhaps make them evil and don't let any civ have the "use evil animals" tag?).  Second, you'd have to work like hell to keep your dwarves from collecting the webs.
