Is it possible for a reaction to produce a specific kind of gem? I'm working on my mod and discussing it with a friend, and the idea came up. I imagine it is possible, but I'm not sure if it can produce a specific type, especially if the gem is modded in.

Also, can you just put a new gem into the game without the gem actually spawning in stone or anything? I have no experience in adding new metals/gems/stone.

You should indeed be able to do that. I forget the exact layout for the reaction but I am very certain it's possible.

Yes, if you don't give the gem a ENVIRONMENT or ENVIRONMENT_SPEC line it won't appear in the ground.  You still might find examples of it in the world as large gem crafts or whatever if you go adventuring however.

I think sublimating bolts are the only syndrome-bearing weapon that works at present.

This is relevant to my interests. How do you do it?

I'm not entirely sure myself, but I believe you have to mod a material that when it is a liquid or a gas is poisonous and when it's solid isn't, and make its melting temperature a bit below the homeotherm of most creatures (~10067 Urists) but above the ambient temperature of the fort (I'm not sure, i believe it's ~10040 Urists). That way, when a bolt gets embedded in a victim it melts and releases a syndrome.

I'm merely thinking it might work, i've absolutely no idea- logic and not knowledge is what's prompted this.

Relevant thread on syndrome-bearing bolts can be found here.

There isn't anyway to have a reaction give one or the other for a product? I know it can do multiple, but can I make it so it either does one product or the other, and not possibly both?

Sure, for the product have the material be INORGANIC:YOURADDEDGEMHERE - easy stuff :). ROUGH:NONE:INORGANIC:YOURGEM for uncut gems, SMALLGEM:NONE:INORGANIC:YOURGEM for cut gems, GEM:NONE:INORGANIC:YOURGEM for large gems.

As long as you don't give your new added material any direction to spawn somewhere, it shouldn't show up in world gen.

Correct - you can set a reaction to have a 50% chance of producing A and a 50% chance of producing B, but those percentages are separate checks. You could end up with one, both, or neither. There isn't a way to guarantee only one of two possible products will be chosen.

If you want the reagent to be an uncut gem made out of a material called SOUL_GEM that you have added - yup!

Huzzah victory! Now to just mod it so I can create said uncut SOUL_GEM. Should be pretty much the same, just in, well... product form right?

Yup - just remember to add the appropriate new reactions to your entity and to gen a new world after you get it all added.

Hi guys. Slight problem here. I've been trying to mod in a race of my own. It went well. I now have the race in-game, working as adventurers and fortresses, if they don't get killed off during worldgen. Problem is, if they survive, they have No Trade next to their name when choosing an embark. Any idea how to fix this?
Only thing in the error file are some pathfinding errors for troglodytes and other things.

Looks like their entity doesn't have any pack animals (there are no cavern-dwelling pack animals in vanilla), try adding [COMMON_DOMESTIC_PACK] and [COMMON_DOMESTIC_PULL] to their entity file. It'll require a new world generation, though, unfortunately.

What exactly does this mean?

Code: [Select]
Unrecognized Replacement Method Token: IRIS
I get this in my errorlog every time when I open up my mod. I figure this is causing it:

Code: [Select]
[TLCM_TIMING:IRIS:13:18]
Yes, it's formatted wrong, but the error suggests that the iris simply can't have it's color change over time.
