Hard-coded material/item behavior
« on: December 17, 2008, 08:39:50 pm »
The following tokens appear in the EXE:

COPPER, SILVER, ELECTRUM, GOLD: only metals that can make useful coins
PLATINUM: Are platinum coins possible?
DIAMOND, EMERALD, RUBY, SAPPHIRE - some sort of hardcoded rarity?
DRAGON - ???
ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H, ITEM_ARMOR_PLATEMAIL, ITEM_ARMOR_CLOAK - ???
CAVE WHEAT - ???

Those are mostly the preference list for a dungeon master noble. Maybe all of them are.

You can allow or stop your dwarves from eating these mushrooms, but it's entirely optional and doesn't turn Dwarf Fortress into Dwarf hookah-smoking pad.

Note that "CAVE WHEAT" is not the token for cave wheat. Maybe there's a behavior that's not happening because he put this instead of GRASS_WHEAT_CAVE?

Yeah, those are the dungeon master pref tokens, in order.  And yeah, that must have been an old token for it.  It's now corrected.  It's supposed to make the DM like dwarven beer.

Yay, I helped find a bug for you to fix :)

So what determines coinage metals then? There doesn't seem to be anything for it in the raws - what happens if I take out silver, gold, or copper? (goes to try it...) - EDIT: nevermind - CURRENCY in entities.

Why does the Dungeon Master like dwarven beer?

Or twohanded swords for that matter, he can't even wield one

He's supposed to be sort of tacky.
