Okay, so I want a "vanilla" monster without any special tags on it, then three more castes with only flier, building destroyer and a new body with a crossbow arm in them.

Will the vanilla monster still show up in the wild?

So I'm trying to mod Space Marines into dwarf fortress.

Now an Idea I had was to make the various alternate troopers into castes, along with the vehicles.

You'd have the basic tactical marine.

Then the techmarine

Then the librarian(would have a syndrome breath weapon)

and then the various vehicles.

Now how do I go about doing this?

The least you could have done was throw down some booze and seasoning. Abyssal Monsters that Creatures of the Light Know Not Of aren't savages, y'know. Sharing's caring.

No.  You need a vanilla Caste with no special tags.  Also, if you put a BODY tag above the first caste definition, ALL castes will get that body, even if they have their own, specific BODY tokens.  In cases where that happens, the creature will have all the bodyparts from both BODY tags.

So in your case, either give all the castes BODY tags and leave off the general BODY tag, or if the cross bow is the only difference, put [BODY:whatever:whatever:etc] with the general creature tokens, and in the crossbow caste just put [BODY:CROSSBOW], where crossbow is a body part that attaches to an already existing arm.

Like:
Code: [Select]
[BODY:CROSSBOW]
[BP:CRSBW:crossbow:crossbows][CATEGORY:CROSS_BOW][CON:RLA] attaches a humanoid's Right Lower Arm
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]

Also, you know there's no way to make the crossbow fire, right?  You can get kinda the right effect using a solid breath weapon, but the creature will still be able to fire even if the crossbow arm gets cut off, and will favor melee unless its speed is very low.

@D_E: Well I knew it wouldn't be able to fire the crossbow specifically, so I was going to simulate it via a solid ranged attack like magma crabs, like you said. I forgot the fact that the attack would keep working when the arm fell off, and I did not know it would favor melee. Speed won't be a huge issue so that'll probably work anyway. Thanks for the help!

Just browsing through a topic in the suggestions forum about randomized minerals, and someone mentioned something about having randomized supernatural metals appear in the underworld. Is it possible to make certain types of stone appear in slade? I know the [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:SLADE:...] token exists, but does it actually work?

Alright, folks, stupid question time. Is there any way to make a weapon with special attributes? Specifically, I'm looking for fire, frost/ice, and syndromes (poison, blindness, necrosis, etc.) If I thought there was a way to do other elements (water, lightning, etc,) I would be happy to use them, too.

Rename your file robot_body to body_robot.

Body files must start body_ creature files must start creature_ item files must start item_ and so on and so forth.

Alright did that. Dont know how I missed it, but there ya go. Unforntunatly, it doesnt seem to have helped much.

New error log.

I'm not sure about now, but in 40d "HEAT" was an accepted damage type.

As per my preliminary testing, no, it just doesn't show up. Genned 4 new worlds with 3 new stones in slade each. None of them ever appeared in the 12 or so "embark, dfprospector, quit" tests I did.

Well. Bugger. There goes my plan. Maybe I could make the deep metals the products of a convoluted series of reactions...

I don't know if this has been asked before, but i'm quite a new person on modding (actally never modded before)
I want to make whips and masks craftable and wearable in fortress mode, but i need some help in what to type in what file. Is there anyone who did this or similar before?

EDIT: I changed the whip skill to hammer skill, so the whip should be usable by dwarves now

Give dwarves access to whips and masks and they'd show up in respective workshops. Check out entity_default and item_<foo> and start from there.

I edited the entiny_deafult to have whips and masks in the dwarf section, i copied them from the goblin section, and altered Uncommon into Common there. I checked my game if i could see whips and masks in the crafting screens and the manager screen, but i couldn't find them. Do i need to do something else, or am i doing something wrong?
