Minimod: Gender names for domestic creaturesSummaryThis tiny mod adds gender specific names to domestic animals to make managing them easier. It's so simple that any beginner modder can do this, but I thought I just provided mine as an easy reference.
The original file is based on DF ver 28.181.40c. (should be relatively unchanged from prev versions)
ContentChanges the following names where each row has the format:
(creature): (male), (female)
dog: dog, bitch
cat: tomcat, queen (corrected)
donkey: jack, jennet
horse: stallion, mare
mule : (no changes as mules are non reproductive anyway)
Note that adjective is unchanged (still the original race name). What this probably means in common game term is that you will still get
donkey leather instead of
jack leather or
jennet leather. But I could be wrong
Installation- Backup {dwarf fortress directory}/raw/objects/creature_domestic.txt. You
can restore this file if you want to remove this "mod". - Copy creature_domestic.txt from below and replace the content of creature_domestic.txt with it.
- You need to restart the game for it to take effect!
UninstallJust restore creature_domestic.txt (You DID backed it up did you not?)
New content for creature_domestic.txt:
