Editing professions?
« on: October 28, 2009, 05:51:32 pm »
Is there a way to edit all of the professions, just not the ones listed below? I know those are just a few of all the possible ones, are those hardcoded? I'm making a new race and want the elites to be called different things.

You can only edit the listed ones at the moment.

As far as I know, it'll be possible to entirely edit professions in the next version (more than just changing the names: actual editing and profession creation).

Not yet, sorry.  At some point, maybe.  It might even be the next version, but I haven't heard anything of the sort (just being clear here).  I just know that a lot of the raws have been revamped.

I vaguely remember hearing what 3 said, but I'm not sure if it was devnotes or just speculation.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

It was indeed in the devnotes.

From the sample raws provided:
Code: [Select]
This is the new format for making specific unit names for a creature.  Any unit token can be used.  If you want to add a caste-specific profession name, use CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME instead, once the caste has been declared.

[PROFESSION_NAME:CRAFTSMAN:craftsdwarf:craftsdwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:FISHERMAN:fisherdwarf:fisherdwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:HAMMERMAN:hammerdwarf:hammerdwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:SPEARMAN:speardwarf:speardwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:CROSSBOWMAN:marksdwarf:marksdwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:AXEMAN:axedwarf:axedwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:SWORDSMAN:swordsdwarf:swordsdwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:MACEMAN:macedwarf:macedwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:PIKEMAN:pikedwarf:pikedwarves]
[PROFESSION_NAME:BOWMAN:bowdwarf:bowdwarves]

Couldn't you just create a custome profession in Dwarf Therapist?
