@The shells thing - I'm very aware of what goes on with all the possible entries, I was trying for 2 or 3 days trying to get it to work. I believe it's not happening in this version by using a reaction. I've yet to test/use the shell on a horn or hoof or giving a creature a shell, but I wanted to avoid that. Oh well.

@Everything else - Seeing as I've got most everything figured out and I think I still have 2 or 3 available posts for extra stuff. Is there anything you guys suggest I should add?

So, I heard that you wanted to do some wiki editing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial
This should help you


Now, a request or two:
Add a tutorial on creating creatures.

Now a question:
If I removed everything from the raws, what needs to be added for the bare essentials that dwarf fortress needs to run fort mode?
I added all the body templates and material templates.
1 custom stone layer.
1 custom soil layer.
1 custom creature/civ.
A few other things that I don't recall.

In the end, I get a few errors along these lines.

"Unrecognized somethingsomethingsomething STEEL"

'somethingsomethingsomething' meaning that I forgot.

Do you understand what I am asking? I can elaborate.

[Shaostoul]

Well, you would need something to cut trees and mine. You need to have the entity_default and what your race is allowed to use. A plant (food) a tree (wood) a stone, soil.... hmmmm... various items, like buckets (for giving injured water), there's a lot you'd need for it to work, items were the one thing I didn't mess with. I'm really not too sure, you'd have to play with it and see what lets you start a game and what doesn't. the errorlog really helps a lot.

[addictgamer]

Through my research, I found out it goes fine without items. If you edit the allowed items and such for the civs, that is.

But, It complains if steel and the like are gone.
Any ideas as to why?

I kind of don't like being limited to having to include certain items/materials.

Steel is related to the metal prefs in civilizations, isn't it?

[Shaostoul]

Everything is referenced some place. You just have to go through and examine each file carefully. It shouldn't have an issue with steel being gone. There's a guy making a minimalist mod and he has it pretty much down to pick, axe, stone, tree, plant, etc. literally all named that more or less.

[darkflagrance]

If I had to guess, I'd say steel is still referenced either in a reaction or an entity file, in addition to its metal location which you have deleted.

I've figured out that

:FLASK:VIAL:GLASS_specifier:NONE

is the item specification for a glass vial, where specifier is one of GREEN, CLEAR or CRYSTAL

[Shaostoul]

Cool beans, I'll have to add that.

[Shaostoul]

Alright everyone, I updated the ENTIRE stone metal and gem entries... For the sake of no one else whining about it. I guess I need to start the wiki page cause I ran into the character limit again...

First go for the wiki page, let me know what you think... is there a "spoiler" like tab for the wiki? or that's going to be a VERY long page...

[derigo]

I don't think there's a spoiler-like function.  But you can make an Contents! ;p

I clicked 'Random page'  a few times until I found a page with one for you to copy:

[Shaostoul]

So that's how it's going to have to be? Oh boy... Well I guess I'll be going for the new world record of the longest web page.

-edit-

I'd like to say my pinky is really tired with all the control v..

[Shaostoul]

Yay for macros! My fingers will live!!!

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Shaostoul%27s_Guide

Give my guide on the wiki a look, lemme know what ya think

It's still got quite the ways to go.

-edit-

Through the help with I'm guessing an admin from the wiki, I've got collapsible windows!

Now I've just got a lot of re-writing to do.

-edit-

the wiki now has more information than the forum guide, if you want me to keep the wiki and this thread on par with each other, let me know.
