Ever been bothered by perfectly dwarfy artifacts utterly ruined because the dwarf grabbed Blue Peahen leather instead of Giant Tiger leather? Tired of your dwarves being garbed in a mishmash of stingray and squirrel leather items?
Presenting: Veok's Standardized Leather Mod! available at Dwarf Fortress File Depot (manual install)There is also a version of vanilla DF with this mod pre-installed, also available at Dwarf Fortress File DepotThis mod will reduce the many different types of leather in the game.
All creatures without a [MULTIPLY_VALUE:X] will give "Animal Leather" when butchered.
All creatures with [MULTIPLY_VALUE:2] will give "Rare Leather" when butchered.
All creatures with [MULITPLY_VALUE:3] will give "Exotic Leather" when butchered.
Creatures with [Multiply_VALUE:4] (or higher) will keep their individual leather types, as will procedurally generated creatures (Forgotten Beasts, Nightcreatures, Demons, and their ilk).
The purpose of this mod is to reduce the leather products from each of Dwarf Fortress' 322 creatures to a smaller variety. This means, for instance, you will no longer have to be bothered with dozens upon dozens of leathers when muddling about the equipment screen.
New in 1.01
- Leather Bags are now "bags" instead of coffers.
- Got rid of the majority of leather types from preferences and the equipment screen.
Known Issues:
- Skin from sentient races is homogenized. Surely, we should make an exception for Elf Leather items, no?
Installation Instructions:
- Extract files to Dwarf Fortress / RAW / Objects.
- The three .txt files should just live in your RAW folder (b_detail_plan_veok, inorganic_leather_veok, tissue_template_veok)
- Double click and run the "LeatherReplacer.exe" application. Feel free to delete this afterwards. (This will go through your RAWs and update the body definition of each creature to point to the new materials, as outlined above)
- Enjoy!
Compatibility:
- Compatible with Genesis mod.
- The LeatherReplacer.exe is usable with any other creature-adding mods, as long as their added raw files contain "creature" in their name.
