There is a raws file for wagons and what about if I add something in there? Or is it hardcoded?

[Vattic]

They are in the raws under creature_equipment.txt. Not sure what kinds of things you can do with them.

[Sensei]

This has been discussed many times. You can't add cars or any nonsense, but you could potentially change the carrying capacity of a wagon, or maybe even give it fireballs. Why would you do this? For teh lulz.

[Phantom]

I was hoping to make caravan guards ride wagons, and armored wagons so they can't get killed while driving during a "accidental" magma incident.

[LOSNR]

Riding is probably impossible, but if you want to armor them, you can change their material/racegloss to something more fireproof. Something like this should work:

Code: [Select]

[CREATURE:ARMORED_WAGON]
[NAME:iron wagon:iron wagons:iron wagon]
[TILE:'W']
[COLOR:0:0:1]
[EQUIPMENT_WAGON]
[COMMON_DOMESTIC]
[NOT_BUTCHERABLE]
[ITEMCORPSE:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[NOSMELLYROT]
[BODY:WAGON]
[SIZE:12]
[ALL_ACTIVE]
[NO_GENDER]
[MATERIAL:METAL:IRON]
[TRADE_CAPACITY:15000]
[MUNDANE]

[EQUIPMENT_WAGON] is a bit weird, though, so I have no idea what kinds of oddities or conflicts might pop up.

Also, unless you replace them with iron versions or change their temperature settings, the pack animals pulling the wagon won't be magma-proof.

[LordNagash]

I'm not sure, but I think maybe making the wagon out of solid iron would slow it down considerably.

I have no idea if it takes the weight of the wagon into account for speed, I think I will test this when I get home

[LOSNR]

A creature's speed isn't affected by its weight, and I've seen wagons made out of extremely heavy wood(6000+ SOLID_DENSITY) move as normal speeds, so I don't think it matters.

[Phantom]

Would a metal wagon deflect arrows and bolts?
P.S.I need an answer quick!

[LOSNR]

No. As far as I know, being made of a material doesn't really offer any special advantages other than increased resistance/vulnerability to temperature.

You could give them ridiculously high DAMBLOCK, but that wouldn't do anything for the rest of the caravan.

I had a thought recently and this seems the right place to mention it. Can't you mod dragon stats onto a wagon, or add a 3x3 tile size to a pre-existing dragon to create a proper dragon?

[Phantom]

BEHOLD THE DRAGON!!
Sir that's a wagon.
Dammit

The 3x3 size seems to be part of EQUIPMENT_WAGON, which adds a lot of stuff that normal creatures don't have, so you'd probably end up with a green wagon with dragon body parts and fire breath.

...Which actually sounds more terrifying than the current dragon.

[Phantom]

So if I put a bronze colosuss there I would end up with a transformer?

But changing the look of the wagon is easy enough. Basically make it green or red and use a different symbol for the parts of it. It wouldn't be perfect, but at least it would make dragons bigger.

[LOSNR]

The initial results are a bit worrying.



I got this message immediately after entering a region with a modified dragon.

EDIT: I found its corpse. It was apparently running the town I entered. It spawned inside the door and didn't fit, so I guess it was crushed.
