Hasn't anybody responded to this yet?

[Krantz86]

hello i need a hand in creating a STEAMWORK/Engines and a LIQUIDFUEL system, what i've planned till now is to create a TOOL called "steam engine"(reagent preserved)  then add a berrel of liquor (probably latter changed in distilled alchool) as fuel.
my question are:
i was unable to create a reaction that use a filled barrel and give back an empty barrel of the same material
how i can make sure that a civ always has a TOOL made of specific material at disposition while others don't?

[i2amroy]

Is it possible to make a weapon that can use 2 skills? I want to make the short sword be either dagger or sword.

Not right now unfortunately with the small exception of making weapons use different skills for melee vs ranged attacks.

is there a tool or utility that allows you to see what names you have already engraved on slabs? or can add jobs to the workshops to engrave slabs for names that don't already have a slab engraved for them ?

Also doesn't exist at the moment.

Simply add the [PRESERVE_REAGENT] tag to the end of the barrel reagent and the barrel shouldn't be destroyed when you preform the reaction.
As for the tool usage, you can limit which entities have access to a tool by simply only adding the [TOOL:XX] token to the entity you wish to have access to it. I don't know if having it only made out of a specific material is possible in worldgen however.

I just started basic modding (playing as humans are interesting) and I got the idea of making a zombie mod ( I know there are other mods, like Corrosion). So I started by editing the creatures by changing there tokens and grazing levels, but when I tried looking up how to make an animal give me more usable body parts I wasn't able to find out how. I'm trying to make it so rabbits would give me bones and meat.

[Sphalerite]

To make rabbits give bones and meat, you need to increase their body size.  They're size 500 as adults right now, which is far smaller than they should be.  Change the lines:

Code: [Select]

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:50]
[BODY_SIZE:1:0:250]
[BODY_SIZE:2:0:500]

to something like:

Code: [Select]

[BODY_SIZE:0:0:500]
[BODY_SIZE:1:0:2500]
[BODY_SIZE:2:0:5000]

and then they'll actually give useable meat when butchered.

Thanks, now I understand it, onto turning the wagon into a truck. 
And I failed again trying to make the wagon iron I thought of simply change all the tissues and materials to iron would work but it did not should I make it iron bars instead of just iron this was in creature_equipment.

There's no such thing as 'IRON_TEMPLATE'.  Iron is a material, not a template.

Instead of:

[TISSUE_MATERIAL:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:IRON]

use:

[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:IRON]

Also, wagons shouldn't even show up in the current version, and I suspect that making them domestic animals you can embark with is going to break things badly.

[warhamer]

Alright thanks again man and I took out the wagon puller token so you have to buy all your animals.

[Gizogin]

how i can make sure that a civ always has a TOOL made of specific material at disposition while others don't?

It's something of a workaround, but you could put in the item while making it so that no civilization has access to it.  Then, put in a custom reaction that produces the item out of only the material you want.  Finally, give the civilization access to the reaction, but not the tool.  They'll still be able to use the tool, but only if it's made out of the material you specified.

How can I make an attack be aimed and used from a tissue/material?

      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]

I understand most of it. You need to specify a body part or series of body parts with BY_CATEGORY or BY_TYPE. I think you give a X_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP after the attack token and specify with the BY_X modifiers to the bodyparts and stick the tissue at the end. You see I've been trying to make a new attack which attacks with the feathers on a wing and the attack just doesn't show up and my modified scratch attack gives me errors about inappropriate format. I'm not even sure what a TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP is or where I'd need to define it so I just gave the attacks new layer_group names.

Would anyone tell me what's wrong?

[Putnam]

I'm pretty sure "X_TISSUE_LAYER_GROUP" has to be CHILD. It's not an interchangable thing, it's all one tag.

BY_X also needs to be "CATEGORY" or "TYPE".

[Tirion]

OOkay, I'm running out of ideas here. I wanted to specify the Altar of War reactions from Deon's Genesis Mod, to control what weapons they take- to avoid the unfortunate side effect that it uses the lucky Maul of Armok resulting from the previous sacrifice as the new sacrifice. I've tried to make several reactions, one for wooden weapons, one for bone, etc, but it still uses all kind of weapons- this time I tried, 'sacrifice bone weapon' just grabbed a poplar training hammer.
I edited this file where it was:

Thanks Putnam. Apparently the (first modifier which is usually) By_TYPE has to be what the bodypart with the tissue connects to and decides how many times the attack shows up. So I get one wing swipe on the attack screen, but losing 1 wing doesn't get rid of the attack, I have to lose both  Not exactly what I wanted but good enough.

[REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:NONE:BONE:NONE]

Try [REAGENT:A:1:WEAPON:NONE:NONE:NONE][ANY_BONE_MATERIAL] instead.

Me again, I edited the wagon by changing it to in-organic and iron which didn't work so I changed it to metal and it still did not give me metal when I deconstructed it. I'm suspecting its because of the [BODY_WAGON] tag.
