Heavy MetalDwarves: How To?
« on: April 28, 2010, 03:31:56 pm »

So let's say I just want to change the material my dwarves are made of. I still want the general body layout, I just want to change the body materials to be metal instead of fleshy soft stuff.

How are body materials handled.

So far when i have looked around a guess it's connected too
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS] the thing confusion I have is that i can't find the STANDARD_MATERIALS defenition.

I interpret the tags as that everything before a : is the name/type, if it's just the name it's a flag that get's set. Anything after the : is either a value or a reference to another named attribute that will be used.

So the previous tag says "I want my Body Detail Plan to use what ever the defenition is of Standard Materials".

But then again I am known to be totaly wrong on occasions.

Bodypart names, creatures names in one easily overviewable place.

Oh my new (old) picture?

well seeing as no one has replied yet, i believe you'd want to look at the bronze colossus entry or elementman gabbro or elementman amethyst for referencing.

I believe this entry
Code: [Select]
[ITEMCORPSE:BOULDER:NO_SUBTYPE:INORGANIC:GABBRO]would make your dwarf drop a gabbro boulder on death...

I believe this entry
Code: [Select]
[TISSUE:ROCK]
[TISSUE_NAME:gabbro:NP]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:GABBRO]
[MUSCULAR]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[STRUCTURAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ROCK]
is what is on the gabbro dudes entry and I believe this makes it so their skin is gabbro.

I haven't done creature modifications really, so this is all a guess, but I hope this helps.

I mod games and educate others how to do so as well, if you'd like to learn join my Discord and you can join a bunch of like minded individuals. (Presently modding Space Engineers and No Man's Sky.)

Looking into modding DF? This forum guide & wiki guide may still be a good start!

I have never been more disappointed by a misleading thread title in my life.  ;)
