Designing a Conical Straw Hat
« on: July 08, 2009, 01:25:51 am »

For the Oriental Fantasy Counterpart Culture I'm putting in, I'd like to have them use the distinctive conical straw hat often seen in places like Vietnam and Cambodia. However, I'm having trouble setting it to use straw specifically as a material, and the wiki has yielded little in the way of item/material modding. Currently, this is the item (at the bottom of item_helm.txt:
Code: [Select]
[ITEM_HELM:ITEM_HELM_ORIENTAL_SUNHAT]
[NAME:conical straw hat:conical straw hats]
[WEIGHT:10]
[VALUE:10]
[BLOCKPOWER:5]
[LAYER:OVER]
[COVERAGE:40]
[LAYER_SIZE:10]
[LAYER_PERMIT:100]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:2]
[HARD]
[PLANT_ALCOHOL:SUBTYPE:GRASS_TAIL_PIG]
[PLANT_ALCOHOL:SUBTYPE:GRASS_WHEAT_CAVE]
[PLANT_ALCOHOL:SUBTYPE:POD_SWEET]
[PLANT_ALCOHOL:SUBTYPE:BERRIES_STRAW_WILD]
[PLANT_ALCOHOL:SUBTYPE:GRASS_LONGLAND]

I know I'm doing something wrong, since jute (from a mod) is showing up as the material the hats of new settlers is made from (also, I've spotted them made of cave spider silk). Is there a way to code it so that this hat will only be made of straw materials?

... I've never tried to make it only be made out of certain materials, but... I'm not certain as to anything............................................................

There are no straw materials in DF at the moment.

You have plant fiber and leather, and that's it.

Those PLANT_whatever tags you have at the bottom aren't valid.

[LEATHER] - Allows it to be made of leather

Alright, so what would be the correct tag for plant fibre?

Oh, cool. I have one of these IRL; it goes wonderfully with my duster.

Hmm, so do I.. despite having absolutely no genetic relation to the Orient.

I think plant fiber is implied by [SOFT]
