So here's a question that sounds simple but probably isn't.

What's the easiest way to cause badly injured dwarves to heal normally non-healing or fatal injuries?

In other words, you accidentally drop the cieling on\chasm\melt\freeze your favorite miner and he somehow survives, only with a permanent red injury, say, to the right lung. You pause the game, make several changes to the raws, and when you reload the game he heals up and goes off on his business.

For starters, I put in the [NOBLEED] and [NOBREATHE] tags so the dwarf can't suffocate or bleed out. I add a health [DAMBLOCK:25] just because I wouldn't want him bashing his head on the bedframe and dying of nerve damage while I play god. Next comes the Bodygloss raws, where you must make the actual edits that cause tissue to regenerate. This is where I am lost

I suggest:

try removing lungs from dwarves. Then reload. If it does not crash - save, add lungs back, load...

[Deon]

Actually if it's not a brain or heart, make him nobleed and nobreathe, save, take out the broken part from the raws, load, save, put the part back, load. It appears to be healed , however if something is worn on this part, all your dwarves obviously would drop those items and will have to re-equip them.

P.S. Damn, ninjad...

From what I have seen any level of falling is enough to hurt all creatures even with dam block.

Here's what I did!

This is the default code for lungs and mouths:

Code: [Select]

[BODY:2LUNGS]
[BP:RLUNG:right lung][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][BREATHE][INTERNAL][SMALL][RIGHT]
[BP:LLUNG:left lung][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][BREATHE][INTERNAL][SMALL][LEFT]

[BODY:MOUTH]
[BP:MOUTH:mouth][CONTYPE:HEAD][MOUTH][SMALL][EMBEDDED][APERTURE]

I swapped the [BREATHE] and [INTERNAL] tags from the Lungs raws to the Mouth raws. This prevents having to mess with [NOBREATHE] and [NOBLEED], as the Lungs will now heal up near instantly and the mouth will process oxygen. Plus, the mouth can't be injured, so there's no chance of a crippled dwarf elsewhere in the fortress suffocating while you do this.

Inod's lungs healed immediately and I swapped everything back to normal, and everything is working dandy.

Why not just use Dwarf Companion to heal him?

probably uses d11- wish companion worked with it =(

I think you can toy with the bodyglosses to remove the tag [NERVOUS] from spine, brain and similar, so that they can just heal normally.

[Johnny Chthonic]

Won't changing this stuff in the raws not take effect until you regen a world?

My bad, you're changing the creature files. This is a neat idea.

[Noble Digger]

If cats get out of hand in your fortress, just add [IGNITE_POINT:1] to the entry for cats in creature_domestic

This almost guarantees an immediate fiery tantrum spiral that would make the survivors of boatmurdered blush.

For the spine and neck, yes. Brains don't have [NERVOUS], and the no-heal code is tied to the tag that defines them as brains.

No, no, no. What you do is remove VERMINHUNTER. That causes them to lose their pets and become strays again. Then you can deal with the problem normally and put the tag back.

if you gather them all together on the surface then you should also change [Homeotherm:10067] to [Homeothern:40000] and add the [SEVERONBREAKS] tag.
This way you can achieve a thermonuclear Catsplosion
