I wonder, if you could get this to work in the next version, would doctors be able to be assigned regenerative-rune equipment.

[darius]

  probably not going to port to next version. About 7k lines of code and alot of it depends on version. I tried to make it as smart as i could (well some parts were written in the beginning when i just wanted to play around...). Also there is "nothing to do till next version". On the other hand if this version has this lot hacking possibilities next would have at least twice as much

Darius, a couple pages ago you said some of the things on the list were possible, and I was wondering if the baby making, and the aging one were included in that. Sometimes I don't want migrants, I want Shock troopers. Also, anything else from the list possible and fun? I don't need them all, I was looking for some interesting bits.

When I read about the stat boost suggestion I would say that if this is possible, then a legends rune capable of improving any skill that a dwarf possesses at least dabbling in can become legendary, reduces the effort of having many runes, each for a skill, but still rewards the dwarf for having at least some experience in the skill they are enhanced in.

I can imagine overuse would occur if encrusted onto wearable items, but for statues and such it would be quite epic, especially if set up like a last stand where your military stand against thee wrath of a siege as they crumble, mere newbie recruits rise up in wrath and wipe out the enemy. Admittedly undoing the change after they leave or drop the item might be an issue =/

Edit: On looking at the readme as I update my copy (haven't been around in a while XP) the projectile trigger almost sounds like that it would have a side effect when used to encrust weapons, was just curious if this would apply, such as using dragonfire with it on an axe, as axe hits unfortunate foe are they also vaporised with dragonfire? don't know but maybe ill find out =P

For that it would be better to use OnAttack (attack sentry). If projectile trigger is used (don't remember how i set it up) it supposed to work only if you throw that axe at enemy.
And yeah removing an effect when removing item would be hard...
As for Wiseacre I could do age rune(there are 2 types of ages in dwarfs: current age, death age) so there could be rune of young(cur age -1) (don't remember the spelling...) rune of longevity, rune of aging (+1 year to current), rune of stagnation (set age to some number). Unfortunely you cannot go  back to child stage (tried it on animals).

i found out that one could just use dtil and dig up the spells with vein helper.
saving the pain of getting a smelter working.
bad news is that some how I forgot I had 40d and not the graphic enhanced version.

I used the dragonfire rune on a sword last night, and one swordsdwarf took out a siege, and then he exploded. No corpse, I couldn't bring him back, all I could recover was a blackened skull.

[darius]

  fire burns corpses.

[Rumrusher]

well i told my soldiers(zombie mod) to encrust a zombie rune on a bone idol.
what they did was encrust a health ,defend, dragonfire, proj, and attack.
oh and i embarked in the middle of a infected area so if they want to defend them selves they have to either toss the idol at rotten corpse and hope it doesn't heal the bugger being attack won't help either. wait could you make a 40d version of your new one?

*hopes theres a lot of hacking possibilities because he loves where this utility is going*

[darius]

And we have V0.8:
-3 new triggers: OnDrink, OnEat (should be on chew ), OnClose
-9 new spells: Unzombie, Pain, Food, Drink, Babbling, Happy, Sad, Sleep (makes dwarves sleep), Rest (removes drowsiness).
-New thingy: default triggers, if spells.txt has line "!DEFAULTS 1" you can use some items without triggers(sentry runes) for example: Statue defaults to OnPeriodic, Door -> OnClose, Barrel -> OnDrink, Weps-> onattack and so on.

Unfortunately we are above our 31 rune limit, this means that 0.7* to 0.8 version transition needs a regen.

[LegoLord]

So how do eat runes work?

[darius]

If anyone in area eats it triggers (for buildings) or if dwarf with armor encrusted with eat rune eats.

[quinnr]

This is awesome. Pure awesome.

[Wiseacre]

Would the rune trigger "On move" be possible? Also, is the martial trance ability hidden from you?
