Their blood would damage anyone near them.  Creatures with gaseous blood release clouds of the stuff when they get hit.  And since they wouldn't be immune to their own blood, they'd start to bleed all over, thereby releasing even more blood, until they bled out.

Syndromes are possible, but I think less reliable.

You can't add syndromes to templates.  However, you could add one immediately after you invoke the template:

Code: [Select]

   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:METAL_TEMPLATE]
     [SYNDROME] etc

   [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:GAS]

thanks i got it working, though i had to make them immune to their own poison because they'd die as soon as they spawned

I've tried to create a species of colonial giant hornets. They should appear in groups of 15-30, in forested areas.
I hope the caste settings I gave them allows them to breed succesfully during worldgen, and ingame. ALso, for realism, if they work as I intend, only the infertile workers and soldiers will be able to sting. The queens and drones should only be able to bite.
Please, can someone check and see if I made any mistakes?

Im trying to make a venom that causes full body profuse bleeding. I think this is the part where theres a problem. Halp? The venom is applied properly, it shows up upon creature examination, but there no full body bleeding to be had.

That's actually really neat, I didn't know creatures were affected by their own blood-born syndromes.  Opens up some possibilities....

Try adding BP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ALL:VASCULAR_ONLY to the CE tag.  Bleeding may require you to specify a tissue in some way.

[SNIP]

the reason being this poison doesnt make contact with full body. You need some sort of liquid spraying attack to make it stick to every part of the creature, and add the poison to do contact damage. Only then you'd get full body bleeding.

[gauld]

this may be a stupid question, but if i delete a bunch of items,creatures, etc will the game experience problems?  should i leave the text files or just delete those too?  i'm working on a total overhaul mod and over 90% of the monsters and items don't fit in with the setting...

[Schmlok]

It shouldn't, It just wont affect an already existing world.

sometimes the game consider certain item types as hard coded. In example I have run into problems when I did not have any instrument types or toy types. But for the most part, you can delete most objects within a specific type without any issues, just leave or make 1-2 samples to keep the game happy.

Heya, I'm back 
I'm trying to mod in a dryad civilization. I'm having a bit of difficulty to make it so that they have wood instead of bone, skin and organ tissues, sap* instead of blood, and leaves/flowers* on their head.
I've been trying to copy parts of the mushroom man's raws and using the elf's as a base, but being a noob, I didn't go very far. A little help here?
I didn't change the tokens that describe details in appearances since they are, well, details. They are not supposed to have facial hair, eyes of these colors, etc.

I'm trying to mod in a dryad civilization. I'm having a bit of difficulty to make it so that they have wood instead of bone, skin and organ tissues, sap* instead of blood, and leaves/flowers* on their head.

Instead of using default material set for your dryad, define a set of material with the same name and the default tissue template would pick up for you. Check b_detail_plan_default to see which material you need to define. I modified mine so I cant spell it out exactly.

uh, JFGI? Also, blood is DF's equivalent of creep and it's nigh impossible to duplicate starcraft's unit systems in DF.

Thanks, that did the trick. However, there is something left to do. I don't know how I can "force" layers to be of a certain material.
Looked at the wiki and all, but I always stumble upon these kinds of strings:

Just so you know, I made a material template just for the dryad that include templates such as

I made the following changes to the creature's raws:

Your dryads have muscle the thickness of fat and bone the thickness of muscle. Was this intended? If not, try this:

Code: [Select]

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:DRYAD_TISSUES]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE]
[REMOVE_MATERIAL:FAT]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HEAD_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS]
[SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SINEW:DRYAD_SINEW_TEMPLATE]
It's important to understand that the order in which perameters are listed in a detail plan determines the thickness of each individual tissue. Omit FAT and you'll be replacing FAT with MUSCLE.

As for the other issue: Change LOCAL_CREAURE_MAT:SKIN to LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:(whatever wood/bark material you want to use in place of regular skin). This material has to be part of the creature entry (so you should make it part of DRYAD_TISSUES or otherwise define it if you haven't already).

Also, read this.

Thanks!
