Ah, simple typos completely ruining entire files...

it's happened to all of us

[Prologue]

How do I make it so that when making bone items, it doesn't use the whole stack?

The WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD is just a filler.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REAGENT:A:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]
             [USE_BODY_COMPONENT]
             [ANY_BONE_MATERIAL]
             [HAS_MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:BONE_MAT]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:BONE_MAT]

I also added [MATERIAL_REACTION:BONE_MAT:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BONE]

[i2amroy]

I don't think that it's really possible right now. The best workaround in most cases is simply to have it use the stack and then give you a corresponding number of products (like making 10 swords from the stack of 20 bones instead of making 1 sword from two of the bones).

When I'm creating creature graphics, will

Code: [Select]

[DEFAULT:PONY_CRIT:0:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT] cover all unspecified professions on a race that uses them, or will I have to create an entry for each profession even if I'm just using 1 graphic as a placeholder for all professions?

[Abregado]

do reactions that take place in the STILL work with the [AUTOMATIC] tag? Mine dont seem to be and I'm wondering if its an bug of feature.

[Dbuhos]

Hey, is there any way to make a creature turn into ashes or something like that when it dies ?

[ArKFallen]

Hey, is there any way to make a creature turn into ashes or something like that when it dies ?

I think it is
[ITEMCORPSE:POWDER_MISC:NONE:ASH:NONE]

Hey, is there any way to make a creature turn into ashes or something like that when it dies ?

Fire Men in the vanilla raws already do this.  The raw code they use to do it is:

[ITEMCORPSE:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:ASH:NO_MATGLOSS]

[Prologue]

Is there a way to make shields act as a weapon? I.e. Shield bashing? Or do they already do that? If they do that, can Dwarves equip 2 shields?

And can someone explain how Size works for weapons? I don't understand it.

For weapons as far as I know SIZE affects Item price. and they Bash with shields and its a yes to wielding 2, just specify it in the uniform. (uses Misc Object to attack)

How are names generated?  I'm currently using the My Little Fortress mod and it irritates me that all the Ponies have Dwarven names.

I'm assuming to fix this I'll have to modify the language file to something more appropriate and change out the dwarven words for more appropriate words and change [TRANSLATION:] under entity.

Is this correct or is there more to it than just this?

[Reudh]

Bronies be gone!

Actually, all you need to do is replace the words in the translations... but then if you want to embark as dwarves they'll have pony names.

Ideally you could just create a new one and have the pony's civ_entity refer to that instead.

[Tecknojock]

I had intended on creating a new language file.

I just found the wiki page for language and now have a couple questions about what I see.

Can I create new [SYMBOL]'s to use with the [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments? Nvm, found the symbols file.

[SELECT_SYMBOL]'s usage is [SELECT_SYMBOL:CATAGORY:SYMBOL] but the wiki doesn't seem to tell me what arguments can be used for CATAGORY.

Looking through the raws I see:

• All
• War
• Battle
• Seige
• Road
• Tunnel
• Bridge
• Wall
• Remaining
• Civ
• Site

Are these the only arguments available? I'd really like to add a preference for surnames. Also for [SELECT_SYMBOL] does it use these until it runs out, or does it only add a preference for these in the RNG?

EDIT: Unrelated question, while looking through raws, I sometimes see commands sections without brackets. Am I correct in assuming that these are considered comments and so not parsed when DF looks at the raws?

Is it possible to set up descriptions based on a migrants highest skill when he/she joins the fortress?

[Sphalerite]

If you look in the file language_SYM.txt, you'll see all the symbols, and which words are associated with each symbol.

[Tecknojock]

The symbols are easy to find. What I'm asking about are the categories.

For instance [SELECT_SYMBOL:ROAD:FLOWERY] will give preference to flowery named roads, but what I want to know is if I can replace ROAD with something that will allow me to give preference for forenames and Surnames.
