Hmmm I wonder if bone is a valid reaction class...

[Mephansteras]

Probably not, but if you go add REACTION_CLASS:BONE to all of the bone definitions it might probably work.

[Shaostoul]

Hmmmm, I'll have to think on it a bit. I should definitely keep a log of all the reactions I try.

[Shaostoul]

FYI added the cheat reactions I use to the products list. A few you'll of seen before, some you haven't.

[Shaostoul]

I just spent about an hour maybe on making this and I'm pretty freaking sure there is bugs, but here it is anyways...

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2534

My attempt at a "bare-minimum" mod. I've cut out near everything I could think about cutting out and this is the result. I screwed up weapons some how, just go to prepare for a journey and look at the weapons and digging instruments... Dwarfs and Turtles are the only living things. There is an aboveground and underground plant. A single tree. A stone and miner. HFS stone/metal. "Slade". etc.

Give it a look and see what should be changed or what else could be removed.

I think SOIL_SAND token for generic soil is required, or else a whole bunch of labors and industries is unavailable.

***
- A lot of pants, shoes, helms, many foreign.. was it necessary? I think one can delete them (turban for total conversion? why?).

- Many trap components can be removed (I think corkscrew is still necessary because it is used in pumps; spikes are also needed for upright spike traps, since there are no spears in this mod).

***
- [DIGGER:ITEM_WEAPON_GENERIC_HAMMER]
[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_GENERIC_PICK]
Why?

- [STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:river generic aboveground plant drink]
River?..

- [ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_GENERIC] in item_ammo, and [AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS] in entity file - errorlog!

- GENERIC_TURTLE:Unrecognized Creature Caste Body Token: QUADRUPED_JOINTS

- On a map I found soil(?) layer named 'Rock' (tile same as yellow sand). In Fortress mode viewing it with 'k' produces weird results (name quickly flickering between 4 available layer mineral types).

[Shaostoul]

@afoninv...

I had very little idea what I was doing really. I was just rushing through it as quick as possible to get it done. So yeah...

Ahhhh that's what happened with the weapons...

about the river thing, I took it from strawberries... river spirits is the drink from that. iirc wait no... rope reed... meh we/...

Yeah, I don't know about the quadruped joints, I just copied and pasted Deon's turtle.

I'll probably give it a try to work those out a little later today, thanks.

[afoninv]

Hm, regarding this:

- On a map I found soil(?) layer named 'Rock' (tile same as yellow sand). In Fortress mode viewing it with 'k' produces weird results (name quickly flickering between 4 available layer mineral types).

I suspect that the game needs at least one soil-sand type layer to generate desert squares during worldgen.

Late edit: I failed to be polite enough to thank you for your bare-minimum mode =(
I am using it now, and I find it extremely useful for custom buildings and reactions tests.
Thank you!

Bump, see a few posts that wouldn't of needed to be posted if they saw this.

[Shaostoul]

Been having a lot of stuff go on lately. Been making a lot of mistakes that I shouldn't be making.

So I'm going to try and just relax, but the real relaxing will be a few weeks from now.

I'll try and update the guide some before then, but yeah...

Anywho, sorry for all the mistakes I've been making.

Also... Question...

I've been thinking since I have quite a bit of the information on my wiki version of the guide, would you all be fine with it is I removed the entries on here the forum version...?

[afoninv]

Oh, come on =) A lot of people endorse your great work; many newbie modders have a quick start; and I suspect forum would be much more cluttered if not for your guide. You have earned a little refreshing break! Be cool =)

[Shaostoul]

Well, I would prefer not having the need for a break... Mostly cause I love being on these forums and messing around with DF. It's a lot of fun.

It's personal life bit that's getting me.

However, just in case anyone is curious.

The break is going to consist of me upgrading my 1975 Chevy Nova Custom. I'll be putting a blown 350 in there, getting the tranny beefed up and hopefully finding a rear end for a decent price with LSD.

[Shaostoul]

Alright guys, I've put one possible way I could do the posts... I go to in depth discussion as it what each thing means by using an example. This will be the most time consuming and probably least efficient of all the methods.

The other one is where I could list all possible pieces for a given portion of the entry and then describe it slightly.

The other one is the same as the above, but with no description.

There's a couple other ways I could think of doing it, but that's what I got for now...

You think a quick and easy method where it shows all possible entries would be easiest or do you want in depth descriptions of everything?

-edit-

I'm going to decide on a method if no one replies before I head to bed. O.o

[Fortis]

I'm not sure which method it falls under, but the step by step description you gave of the reaction modding was very useful and easy to understand for me. If you could do other posts like that, it would be a big help. Thanks for helping those of us new to modding Shaostoul!

[Shaostoul]

no problemo, certainly in a way better mood today. I am hoping that I get a certain letter tomorrow, then things for me will be on their way to being very interesting.
