How would I go about modding gems to be available for general use (e.g. for rough diamond walls, or rough chrysoprase tables)?

Also, how can I enable the making of stone anvils?

[Grimlocke]

Something like this should do it.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:GEM_TO_BOULDER]
[NAME:cut gem into boulder]
[BUILDING:JEWELER:CUSTOM_R]
[REAGENT:A:1:ROUGH:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BOULDER:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]not sure about that last NONE
[SKILL:GEM_CUTTER]
[AUTOMATIC]Add that to your entity file amounst permitted reactions, regen a world, see if it works. If it does you should have a gem that acts like a lump of rock, letting you turn it into walls, tables and whatnot.

I think you could be able to make stone anvils by adding [ITEMS_ANVIL] to the stone template, but the masons shop might not agree with that. If thats the case just use the above reactions with BOULDER instead of ROUGH, and ANVIL instead of BOULDER. And give it an unique name of course.

[Zaerosz]

Schweet. Thanks. And that ITEMS_ANVIL thing doesn't work. Yeah, I've modded all gems to be found in veins in sedimentary rock (i.e. modded bauxite). The world gen stops at 50, so it's sorta like a "time before time" deal. I just want the anvil to be able to satisfy any metalsmith moods (I removed inorganic_stone_mineral, but not the bars of the metal.) I'm gonna build a pyramid of gems!

[LucasUP]

Wow that's an awesome idea. Also, yeah that reaction should work, I got a gem-to-item reaction working with pretty much that exact code.

rock anvils:

Code: [Select]

...
[REAGENT:A:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:NO_MATGLOSS][WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY]
[PRODUCT:100:1:ANVIL:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
...like Zaerosz Grimlocke said, except using "STONE" instead of "BOULDER".
(I'm not sure if/what the difference is, but this worked for me for another reaction.)
Should work...? I'm a newbie modder though.

[Zaerosz]

I probably should have mentioned I'm on 31.03. Also, the gem->boulder thing ain't workin'.

[LucasUP]

Try changing "BOULDER" to "STONE" ?
[PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
Or maybe you need to make them into BLOCKS? (I'm not sure changing STONE to BLOCK would work)
EDIT: BLOCKS might work. http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/40d:Item_token

[masakhan]

You are going to have to mod in a new type of stone for each gem you would want transformed. I have a few custom reactions including involving stone and gems in my mod I'm making; I'll see if I can dig something up real quick and post it.

EDIT:here is the reaction.

[REACTION:GEMSTONE]
   [NAME:turn gems into stone]
   [BUILDING:!ENTERCUSTOMBUILDINGNAMEHERE!:NONE]
   [REAGENT:A:1:ROUGH:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:!ENTERNAMEOFROCKDESIREDHERE!]
   [SKILL:CUTGEM]

EDIT again:I can provide an example of making a new stone entry as well if you want.

[Grimlocke]

STONE as material token is obsolete I think, use INORGANIC. And im pretty sure its completely unnecessary to mod in a new stone type for each gem. Gems are basically stone, they use the stone template only with a tag that indicates that the dug rock should produce gems, not rocks. (or course you could remove that, but that means you wont have any gems in the game).

STONE also doesnt appear in the list of .31 item tokens (got it fromt he string dump). The link posted above here links to a 40d article, thats probabaly obsolete as well.

As fort my reaction not working its probabaly the material tokens. The point was to make it get the reagents material for the boulder to produce, but apparentely it doesnt work the same way for inorganic materials as it does for organic ones. It would help if you told how it wasnt working though. Try to use the furnace or something for the reaction? Some defealt buildings accept custom reactions.

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:GEM_TO_BOULDER]
[NAME:cut gem into boulder]
[BUILDING:YOURWORKSHOP:CUSTOM_R]
[REAGENT:A:1:ROUGH:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BOULDER:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]not sure about that last NONE
[SKILL:GEM_CUTTER]

This should work. Note "Yourworkshop", you should tell where it is. It was not working because JEWELER is not a workshop.

(I'm not sure if/what the difference is, but this worked for me for another reaction.)

It worked because it had "WORTHLESS_STONE_ONLY".
The correct token is BOULDER, not STONE. STONE is not even in the raw dump for items.

[LucasUP]

Aha. Thanks for the correction!
hmm... work really needs to be started on the wiki

I guess this needs to be corrected too then:

Why? What's wrong in Shaostoul's guide? Do you mean the STONE part?

[Shaostoul]

I would like to say here as well, all the reactions I've made, I've been using in my game and all of them have been working for me. I don't have the inorganic tags or boulder. But if someone feels up to it, post an example of how stone, metal, wood and gems should all be and for the sake of it not coming up in my guide again, I'll change all of it.

[Deon]

I think in the current version "wrong" tokens work as NONE, a fool-proof mechanism.

[Shaostoul]

Even though all my reaction products work exactly as intended and show up in the stocks menu and through the forge and masons and whatever else have you properly?

[Deon]

Did you use it as *:STONE:NONE:NONE:NONE]

There could be other tokens which define the input/output. And I am not arguing, I am guessing.

P.S. The easiest way would be to change STONE to something else which is not used and see how it works. If it doesn't, then STONE is a valid token.
