[Prologue]

Does    [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN] work if it's used for breath attacks? Or can I just use [ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND] on my other attack and leave the breath attack alone?

[NewsMuffin]

I'm modding in my own nord race, and I want them to be able to use trap components as weapons.
Is this how you do it?

Code: [Select]

[WEAPON:ITEM_TRAPCOMP_GIANTAXEBLADE]
[WEAPON:ITEM_TRAPCOMP_ENORMOUSCORKSCREW]
[WEAPON:ITEM_TRAPCOMP_MENACINGSPIKE]
Or would I have to make specific weapons?
I've assigned the trap components skills, Axe, Spear, and Pike, respectively.
Also,

Code: [Select]

[START_BIOME:TUNDRA]
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_TUNDRA:3]
means that they'll start in the snowy areas, correct?

[Zidana]

I was wondering... do I HAVE to put creatures that I mod in into one of the preexisting creature_WHATEVER.txt files? Initially, I made a .txt file called creature_custom.txt, and put my creature into it (yes, I put the [OBJECT:CREATURE] heading in creature_custom.txt). However, the creature didn't show up in the arena test mode. So I copied the creature into creature_fanciful.txt, and now it shows up.

So what it looks like is happening is that there's a list of creature_WHATEVER.txts that the game is told to read from. And anything which isn't on that list isn't 'seen' by the game, and thus creatures in those .txts don't exist in-game. Does anyone know where this list is, how to access it, if possible, and how to edit it? I've gone through all the .txt files included in the DF folders and there doesn't seem to be such a list, so am I right in thinking that this list is hardcoded or in sourcecode somewhere?

Also,

Code: [Select]

Here's a list of biome tokens I've found very helpful: http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Biome_token

As you can see, there's no token called "ANY_TUNDRA." You'll want to create separate [BIOME_SUPPORT] lines for [GLACIER], [TUNDRA], [FOREST_TAIGA], and [TAIGA].

You can also put in multiple [START_BIOME] lines with those 4 biome tokens so the Nords will start in those locations also.

[SirAaronIII]

Did you remember to put creature_custom.txt at the top of the file? The game won't recognize the file as being raws if it doesn't have the name of the file in the top line, or something.

Ah, thanks.

Now, will those trap parts work as weapons, or will I have to mod them?

There is no such list.  I've created many custom raw files with new names and had the game recognize them.

[Putnam]

You can even create a new text file called "derpedmailman.txt" and have the top line be "fuckity_jones" and have it work as long as [OBJECT:CREATURE] comes after that.

Your txt creature_custom.txt needs to start with the line creature_custom.

[Knight Otu]

For a creature file text file to be used by DF it needs to:
* be a .txt file
* start with 'creature_'
* have a line at the very beginning saying anything - I would suggest using the file name without the .txt (it used to be that it had to be the file name, but that's no longer so)
* have [OBJECT:CREATURE] after that first line.

The same goes for other raw files, replacing creature with the appropriate object type.

I immediately thought of this.
I can only assume that was your intention.

[Tirion]

Quick question: Is it possible to make a soil that's both clay and sand?

[trees]

Now, will those trap parts work as weapons, or will I have to mod them?

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but if you mean for them to use giant serrated disks or axe blades or whatever as weapons that can be assigned to soldiers/used by invaders, you'll have to remake them as weapons because they have several tags specific to trap components and are missing several tags required to be a working weapon. The attack definitions should be transferable without them having to be edited, though.

[Zidana]

Hm. For the record, any .txt you make has to encoded in ANSI, or it won't be recognized.

For some reason my notepad was set to encode them in unicode. How odd.

Nope, pure coincidence. I've watched two episodes of MLP and felt slightly embarrassed but enjoyed them all the while.
