So if any biomancers out there know how all this syndrome stuff works, you could REALLY help me out here. Is it possible to make a syndrome that it caused by a certain creature, and will infect those around it, without having any combat involved?

Basically if you had a dwarf stand next to the creature in question, and neither attacked each other, the dwarf would get sick. Possible?

I will asume you know how to make the sydromes make the sydrome [SYN_CONTACT] or [SYN_INHALE] and give the creature
[MATERIAL_BREATH_ATTACK:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:{the creatures poison}:TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW]
trailng vapor flow works best with Contact as it makes a mist that covers the target with the subtance, also UNDIRECTED_VAPOR works too it sort of acts like dragon breath? more radius less range.

TRAILING_GAS_FLOW is like the vapor but the poison must have INHALE, UNDIRECTED_GAS same as above

So I put the Plump Helmet Man through a lot of tests in the arena (after removing the Arena restriction).
What I have determined about this body structure and make-up:
Worthless, but occasionally too difficult to kill.

Now, a plump helmet man has a very simple body structure, and they're composed with the same physics stats as wood.

In testing versus naked dwarves:
Naked, unskilled wrestling: The Plump Helmet man actually gained skill at a considerably higher rate than the Dwarf (reached Legendary first, amongst other things), however, was immediately established as the eventual loser in the fight. Within twenty pages of combat, every part of the Plump Helmet Man was broken, but it still took another hundred pages to actually kill it. The dwarf became modestly injured in a couple of places.

Naked, one-on-one with short swords of native copper (combat balance modded, no less):
Bisected in one blow.

Naked: ten-on-one with short swords of native copper:
Weren't able to scratch the dwarf.

Naked, legendary ten-on-one with short swords of native copper:
The dwarf became modestly injured, as it slaughtered its way through the ranks.

Naked, sword'd-on-wrestler:
Managed to kill the dwarf. Albeit poorly.

I decided not to bother testing clothes and armour.

This brings me to a central question, however:
How should one compose a creature of plant matter, such that it has similar durability and combat ability to that of the primary races?

Seperate question:
What are the spheres for religion and symbolism and such? Are they just the ones in Language_SYM ?

Shoot I'll ask it here.


I'm trying to mod a reaction to produce water or Ice. Currently I found no way to make water nor Ice, the past reactions (        [PRODUCT:100:10:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:WATER:NO_MATGLOSS] ) does not seem to work. No stones are made and after removing the workshops I get 'pool of water' that works I believe exactly like blood/mud etc, it can be spread while walking over, but does not behave like water.

My Alternative idea was to make iceblocks and dump them in a heated pit to make an a water reservoir. Can't seem to figure this out in the reactions.

This is the ice one I have

[REACTION:MAKE_WATER]
   [NAME:pump water]
   [BUILDING:WATER_MAKER:CUSTOM_W]
        [PRODUCT:100:10:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:WATER:NO_MATGLOSS]
   [SKILL:SMELT]


Anyone have an idea?

[Deon]

Change STONE to BOULDER.

[Guilliman]

Change STONE to BOULDER.

Doesn't work :/ Same "A pool of water"

[Deon]

Hah, that's ok. It's just too warm so it melts. Build it outside on a glacier.

I also learned something while looking at the string dump. Adding FORCED to one of the clothing items, all members will have that piece of clothing. I'm using this to make my gobbos all use masks.

[Max White]

Really?
Well that is something to remember!

[Deon]

What. It's new. Can you use it on armor pieces?

[Acanthus117]

I don't know about that, actually.

[Max White]

Seems a little strange to have that sort of tag on clothing, normally that sort of thing would fit into an entity wouldn't it?

[Acanthus117]

Oh, sorry. I meant entity, not the clothing raws. :X

[Max White]

Suddenly the world makes sense again.
For a second there I thought Toady One the great had gone crazy...Or at least more so.

[Acanthus117]

Nah, it's just my forgetfulness. :X

[Max White]

Had an AWESOME idea.

1) Is it possible to make trees and shrubs grow under water?
2) If I make a creature live under water and able to walk, but unable to swim, they would walk around on the ocean floor right?

In case your wondering, I'm looking for a yes, and a yes.
