The 5000 value sets the baseline, which I'm pretty sure means that their descriptors will be relative to that value, so you shouldn't notice any change in the description.

... so how do I even know whether they have it or not?

[Untelligent]

See which dwarves mine faster.

Or pit them against each other in the Arena and see who wins more often. I recommend battleaxes, they seem to kill things faster than other weapons in the new version.

The only flag I know for the final argument is TRAILING_GAS_FLOW. Is anyone else aware of any others that are available? I've done several searches of the forum and I swear I remember Toady talking about a couple of other ones...

Actually, I just realized all I have to do is use the Arena and take over my dwarves that I create, and then there's a button to look at my stats, and it certainly says my male dwarf is superdwarvenly agile.

The female had 778 speed, and my male had 1718 speed from setting them to 5 and 5000, respectively.

... Seems like quite a low difference, especially with the last version basically making you a [speed:0] character with maxxed out stats.

... According to the power of my maths, 1718 displayed speed is a speed of 482, while a displayed 778 speed is actually 1185...

The old (five bonuses) superdwarvenly agile was 450 speed, so that's something in the same ballpark. 

I'll have to try seeing what happens if I try to pass 10,000 as a stat, instead, though.

Someone said the following work too, I think he did a string dump


TRAILING_DUST_FLOW
TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW
TRAILING_GAS_FLOW
SOLID_GLOB
LIQUID_GLOB
UNDIRECTED_GAS
UNDIRECTED_VAPOR
UNDIRECTED_DUST

Awesome! That is perfect.

I noticed while trying to make some minor colour changes to soil and stone, that those changes now require a new World Generation.

[Fault]

did you make those changes to the general raw file or to the raw files in the SAVE folder in your Data?

I've successfully created a new reaction to alchemize lead into titanium, as well as the shop where the reaction takes place, and, of course, the product: titanium.

The problem is that the reaction will show up on, and be performed if assigned from, the job manager screen, but that I can not seem to have it performed on the shop's job assignment menu (which is blank).

Does anyone see any obvious problems in my reaction code:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:ALCH_TI_PB]
[NAME:alchemize titanium from lead]
[BUILDING:ALCHEMISTS_LAB:CUSTOM_T]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:LEAD]

[Rumrusher]

are zombies still area bound or does the dead rise up?
have you add it to your dwarves jobs?

reaction stuff

It looks like you need to add reactions (and custom workshops) to entity files now. Check the dwarf entity for examples.

As part of my experiments for making magic-using castes, I've been experimenting with the effects of the [FLIER] tag on fortress mode. Fortunately, it no longer gives everything possessing it a crippling fear of moving, but the pathfinding still doesn't make the best use of it. After testing in Fortress Mode and Arena Mode, here's what I've seen so far:

- Fortress Mode pathfinding does not like flying. Fliers will never actually use their abilities to carry out fortress mode commands, and commands that would be impossible with non-fliers are still impossible with fliers. Fliers caught on top of a cave-in will not use their flight to catch themselves.
- Testing in arena mode, fliers used their flight consistently, but not intelligently. Fliers flew across gaps to reach nearby enemies and caught themselves in the air when they fell, but provided with ranged weapons did not attempt to make use of their flight. As Arena Mode is supposed to be a scaled down Fortress Mode, some of this may carry over, but I honestly can't say how much.

So [FLIER] seems to have gone from being crippling to merely useless. So much for that idea.

Done. As I said. I can build the workshop, and the reaction appears in, and works from, the job manager, but doesn't work from the shop screen itself.

Great question. I was modifying the general raws, not the save folder raws. It's all good now.
