LordBistian I don't know the tileset but that looks like transparency issues if you ask me. Did you save the file as a .png using a program that supports transparency?

[LordBistian]

Yush.
But I tried making it occupant and converting it to .bmp
Didnt seem to work at all
Also, choosing any other tileset does the same while said tileset is in the Art folder.
Does DF load all- Nevermind. I fail.

The shit. Removing said .png or converting it to .bmp doesnt works at all.
Rage.

Fixed. Copying to a new .bmp worked :3

 [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:<Main type>:<Sub type>:<state>:<min>:<max>]
What do these min max values represent? I've been using it as the quantity injected, but it look like 1000000:100000 doesn't immediately explode an ant with gallons of drugs.

Rephikul:

Have you defined a syndrome for the extract? At the moment, injecting creatures full of liquids won't make them explode (as fun and semi - realistic as that would be.) Secondly, your min value is bigger than your max value, perhaps causing an error.

My question to the community - what skill token applies for the "Dodging" skill? DODGER doesn't work, and I believe I've tried DODGE...

Edit: NVM, it's DODGING.

It's dodging 
My syndrome min:max is just an example. The ones i use actually work fine. I'm just curious about true min:max usage.

The suspicion in 28.40d was that the values represented the chance of the special attack working; I think the idea was that the game checked both values and made a roll based on them in some manner.

I've got some questions about the TISSUE_LAYER_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER tokens.

It seems they are relative in their description. So the following:

Code: [Select]

[TISSUE_LAYER_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LENGTH:60:60:60:60:60:60:80]Will only describe the length of hair for those creatures with 80 and the rest just have hair. It seems to look for deviation from the average for descriptions.

The problem is I want to have all my creatures described as having short, sparse hair. Can this be achieved?

One hack I could use:

Code: [Select]

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:HAIR]
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:CLEAR:1]
[TLCM_NOUN:short, sparse hair:SINGULAR]Which gives:

Its short, sparse hair is clear.

But I'd like to do it how Toady intended if possible.

[rephikul]

It seems to look for deviation from the average for descriptions.

You answered your question. If everyone has "short" hair then "short" is the new "average" in their culture. Use your hack.

Yeah, this is something I realised recently as well. It's a little counter-intuitive to say the least, but I think it's possible to get the results you want with enough tweaking.

I suggest reading this post before attempting to do that, if you haven't already, as it offers the best explaination I've found of how appearance modifiers work.

Does any one know where bags are located

[3]

They're not in the raws, nor are any of the furniture objects. You can reference them in a reaction with BAG.

[Deviled]

thanks

[Deviled]

Can someone tell me whats wrong with this reaction.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_BAG]
[NAME:make bag]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAG:NONE:NONE][FORCE_EDGE]
[SKILL:KNAPPING]Every time I try it the game crashes.

[3]

Actually, I was wrong. I forgot that bags are just leather containers. The reaction should look something like this:

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_BAG]
   [NAME:make bag]
   [ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:BOX:NONE:CREATURE_MAT:DONKEY:LEATHER]
   [SKILL:KNAPPING]

[Deviled]

thanks again
