Maybe you could... Make dwarfs lay crossbow ballista bolts! 

[BigD145]

Yeah, I need to go to sleep now, but I will release it in the morning.

Also there are some new raw tokens, so I will play with them too.

Yay. Expect a lot of new pets. Especially with working unusual eggs .

Pets that threat their own egg offspring as vermin? Cat problem solved!

You will make forgoten beast's lay eggs and be able to be adopted and tamed?

Has the Genesis mod modded out silver hammers? If so I might need to mod them back in in my version.

Pretty sure it has, I've never been able to make them.  There is/was so much metal I never found it a big deal though.

'cuz under genesis's classification, silver is precious metal, not warfare metal

under my classification, any material is a warfare metal...even non-metals...

[Nopkar]

question Deon...how exactly do YOU go about adding a custom Civ/Race/Creature to the game? I wanna add a new Race to play with in fortress mode, but I can't seem to find a template to input my data into...

(that was a little murky...) Basically I want a Half-Dragon Civ to play as.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Half-dragons, to put it simply, look like upright dragons. Depending on the type of dragon a half-dragon is descendent from determines its scale color, immunity, and breath weapon. All half-dragons have claws, razor-sharp teeth, and a tail. They stand 6 to 8 feet tall and weigh between 250 to 420 pounds. Half-dragons also inherit their dragon parent's quick maturity and long life. They reach maturity at about 12 and live to about 300 years.

Straight from DND basically. any pointers?

[NobodyPro]

There are no templates unless you count the raws themselves. I'm not Deon but here's some tips:
1. Copy the human entry in the creature_standard.txt and change it's code name (top), name and caste name. Congratulations, flavour molding at it's simplest.
2. Go through the bodypart raws and add the parts you want to your BODY token's arguments. This defines what bits they have to be cut off.
3. Overwrite the human tissue definitions with the tissue definition from a reptile creature, i.e. giant cave crocodile. This gives them scales and no hair.
4. Add any special creature tokens you want i.e. FIREBREATH and/or FLIER. This will give them special abilities.

That's just a quick mod mind you. The razor teeth/claws, immunities, varied breath attacks and determining the mass/hight in 'dorf's is going to take a little extra effort.

That's basically what I was looking for, but I guess trying to look through Deon's genesis file wasn't going to help me xD I was literally swamped with caste's...

[isabuea]

not sure if this is genesis specific but i embarked on a snowy mountain with my dwarfs, war mastiffs, grizzly bears, cats and some cows.
shortly after embark i see blood everywhere, each and every animal had turned on each other and attacked them and even my dwarfs were hit.
bears attacked cats, cows kicked dogs, the poor pack buffalo took it all and even same species attacked each other with cows verse cows happening alot.

could it be no food due to snow causes starvation and them to go rabid or some random bug that makes them not recognise each other as allies?

[Nopkar]

k, here's a rough sketch, I'ma try to implement them and try a round, dunno if it'll work!

(like I said, rough sketch, I'll change the professions later. doing this gave me some idea's for caste's though, like each Half Dragon's parent dragon type, each with their own features/abilities?)


SUPERBAMFEDIT* Awesome! they work! I'm using the human tile graphic though, and there's actually a CIV...Half Dragon's seem to have done pretty damn well actually. NPC's use a skeleton tile though, oh well. I'm off to slaughter for a bit.

Your animals were too close. They become aggressive if they stay too close, spread them out a bit.

I slept a bit longer this time, even longer than afternoon. Blame my wife, she called girls last night :/. So yeah, I'm off to modding .
