Deleting kobolds' [BONECARN] tag will be sufficient to keep them from dying in worldgen, correct?

[stabbymcstabstab]

no the need one of the farming tags to surive bonecarn might just make them surive longer

Say I have a 1x3 creature graphics set. What would I do if I wanted to assign civilian professions to 1, military to 2, and noble to 3?

Say I have a 1x3 creature graphics set. What would I do if I wanted to assign civilian professions to 1, military to 2, and noble to 3?

I put in dummyvalues for the name of the file, the tile_page name, file location, assumed 16x16 dimension for a tile, assuming 1 wide, 3 tall, otherwise flip some numbers around -

Code: [Select]

graphics_gax

[OBJECT:GRAPHICS]

[TILE_PAGE:GAX_CUSTOM]
[FILE:gax/gaxcustom.png]
[TILE_DIM:16:16]
[PAGE_DIM:1:3] - Change to 3:1 horizontal, not vertical

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:CUSTOMCREATURENAME]
[DEFAULT:GAX_CUSTOM:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT] - If it doesn't know what to do, use this (top spot)

[MILITARY_1:GAX_CUSTOM:0:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT] - "0:1" to "1:0" if it's horizontal, not vertical
[MILITARY_2:GAX_CUSTOM:0:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT] - Replace MILITARY_1 etc with the names of the professions you want - for example, MACEMAN, AXEMAN, etc
...
[MILITARY_N:GAX_CUSTOM:0:1:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

[NOBLE_1:GAX_CUSTOM:0:2:AS_IS:DEFAULT] - "0:2" to "2:0" if horizontal, not vertical
[NOBLE_2:GAX_CUSTOM:0:2:AS_IS:DEFAULT] - Replace NOBLE_1 etc with the names of the professions you want - for example, BARON, DUKE, etc
...
[NOBLE_N:GAX_CUSTOM:0:2:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

Just give 'em NO_EAT and NO_DRINK. Not like they will eat things in game if they lack the tags anyway.

Thank you so much! I can now officially release my race soon.

We goddamn NEED a catapult that uses Booze Barrels as ammo and sets them on fire when there thrown.

What tags make my creature believe cannibalism and butchering sentients are OK?

[Wavecutter]

This may sound a little pedestrian or may have been answered already in 201 pages of this thread. 201 pages is quite a lot of reading for something that is quite probably trivial.

So I'd like to add obsidian spears to the game. So I suppose I'd need an entry for it and modify an existing workshop, right?

[Greiger]

Good news!  You don't!  Obsidian short swords are handled in an entirely different way than custom reactions.

All you need to do is add [CAN_STONE] to the entry for spears and that should do it.

I hear the entity tags for your race are what you want there.  I hear changing the ethic tag for eating sapients to acceptable will do that.  I havent tested that myself though.     Also, it will have the side effect of causing the civs to go to war more often with humans and dwarves. (and less often with goblins and elves, though goblins will still usually default to aggressive in fort mode)  as your races ethics are more opposed to the humans and dwarves than they were before the change.

I am trying to make recycling workshop which takes all kinds of non-metal cloth and armor and produces something from them, purpose is to have something useful to do with all that stuff goblins leave behind after their visit.

There is convenient way to select leather, silk and plant fiber by adding one of these after [REAGENT...]

[ANY_PLANT_MATERIAL]
[ANY_SILK_MATERIAL]
[ANY_LEATHER_MATERIAL]

But how can i select items made from wool? Or is there some easier way to select all cloth/armor that is not metal?

-edit-
Oh... how can i be so stupid  *Urk smacks himself to head*

Of course it can be done by [ANY_WOOL_MATERIAL], i just didn't see that anywhere in wiki or forums - but it seems to work when i tried it. does not work

I can't find the entity tags anywhere...

Just throwing this out here because it surprised me quite a bit and some folks might not know it works.


Good news for leather modders.  Just like all the other kinds of armor, if a variety of leather exists that is better than others, your military will automagically be smart enough to pick the better leather over all others if possible.

I had my crossbow squad surprise me by being smart enough to outfit themselves in modded basilisk scale armor after I managed to get quite a bit of it.  Despite being told to wear any leather armor they all ditched their dog leather crap and grabbed basilisk scale.

I figured they were only smart enough to do that with metal, since all vanilla leather is identical.

[jaxy15]

Yo.
So I made a new stone, it's called face stone because it looks like a face.
Is there a way to make a reaction which extracts a pair of eyes from the stone?
