Yay, it's working!

[TheSummoner]

How would I go about creating a creature that...

1 Explodes/Bursts into flames when attacked.
2 Intentionally explodes/bursts into flames AS an attack (and dies instantly from it).

Essentially I want to create a living bomb that can only be safely disposed of by using traps or ranged weaponry.

[Lofn]

The best way to do that is to give them an extremely hot vapour as blood, I suspect.  Hot blood will cause anything flammable it splashes on to burn, and blood tends to go everywhere in melee.

[Altalus]

Hummm after reading the thread as best I could and after some search I still have a very noob question (post count = 1 so yeah...)

* PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS APPLIES TO ADVENTURER MODE *

Ok, I like to be "overkill" from time to time so my second wordget will be home to a Dragon (me) that will be having some fun...*if* I can fix some issues I have.

1) It is not a playable "race" OK!
Ok, this is normal and I found how to add the Dragon to the list... with a copy-paste of the Dwarf I found in the entity_default.txt. I created a entity_dragon.txt with the following.

* I know there's way more than I need in there but not knowing exactly what I can remove right now I kept it all *

Now I have a Dragon, outsider in the list, yay !

2) It seem not to want to fly OK!

I press SHIFT+< and I am not changing Z-level like it should (I think). So, I check the entity_* and see that dragons have no wings.

Code: [Select]

[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:4TOES_FQ:4TOES_RQ:MOUTH:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_LARGE_EYE_TEETH:RIBCAGE]
So I added some wings

Code: [Select]

[BODY:QUADRUPED:2WINGS:TAIL:2EYES:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:4TOES_FQ:4TOES_RQ:MOUTH:GENERIC_TEETH_WITH_LARGE_EYE_TEETH:RIBCAGE]

And yet, I still cannot fly ;_; Fixed adding [FLIER] to the creature def

3) I cannot "breath":
Now, this might be a simple limitation of the game as it is right now but I would like to know how... and this should normally be a range attack no ? (I'm not asking for a cone type attack but that would be a bonus )

4) I cannot destroy
I know that dragons can destroy buildings but I cannot do it. Probably something that cannot be done right now as I cannot attack a "thing" that is not a "creature".

5) I cannot SHIFT+A (Called shots)
This crash my game

Any and all help will be appreciated

[Flaede]

Is it currently possible to allow taming of sentients? Like, say, captured merchants or something?
Or, at the very least, is it possible to create other creatures like the vanilla Tigermen who are uncivilized (nonentity), intelligent, and tameable?

I ask because I want to create podlings that can be milked for their "essence". Then I just have to mod in the Garthim and tame crystal bats.

2) Yep, [FLIER] that is.

3) Sadly you can't breathe fire/extract or use other skills like these as an adventurer yet.

4) Read 3.

5) You should be able to, I tried and I can.

You have to use external tools like DFFusion to make it happen. But you can make other uncivilized creatures like tigermen with ease.

[KaguroDraven]

Would it be possible for someone to make some mods for me if they have the time? My attempts tend to lead to crashing or nothing happening.

Thanks ! That will be better than my overly detailed entry

Tought so, no big deal, the game is still awsome

oh ? o.O I'll have to try again then... maybe something in my raw files that crash the game... I'll have to test it out... again.

Thank you for the kind answers

[Rumrusher]

some how the new version prevents me from turning corpses into statues or tables but allows me to turn them into battle axes?

here's the Raw for the statue

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_STATUE]
[NAME:Carve idol]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:STATUE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_REAGENT:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[SKILL:MASON]
so far every time I use this it makes it a rock statue instead of a human one.

[krisslanza]

Looking for a quick confirmation here. For building tokens the WORK_LOCATION token... is it row:column or column:row or what?

I want to know so I don't build my custom workshops with a funny work spot that is on top of a part of the workshop or something.

[Vattic]

I've done plenty of modding, mostly adding new creatures, but I've been making a new body and some new materials for the first time in 0.31 and I've got a problem. Spears are tearing the gut's gut!. I'd post my raws but I don't know which you need to see. Has anyone else encountered this?

edit: I'm also getting heart's heart tissue!

I would also like to know how to coat the outside of the gut in a material of choice? I'd like to make them stronger.

[Seriyu]

Can castes be allowed to start with different skills?

IE, one caste starts with 10 consoler, another starts with 5 consoler and 5 liar for example.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Can castes be allowed to start with different skills?

IE, one caste starts with 10 consoler, another starts with 5 consoler and 5 liar for example.

The only skill tag for creatures is [NATURAL_SKILL:(SKILL):(VALUE)]

[Seriyu]

Yeah, not creating new skills, just setting existing skills at higher levels then the starting level. Can I change that via caste?

I worded that poorly, my bad.

[3]

That's exactly what NATURAL_SKILL is for.
