v0.31 Talk:Color

Untelligent:

What is this page even supposed to be about? The interface colors, the descriptive colors, or something else? --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 16:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:Interface colors, colors of creatures and everything else that has colors. <s>I would like to see a list of what makes what colors e.g. petrified wood has bright red and that all.</s> --[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 11:10, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

If someone needs help at what makes what colors, I made a simple list of which things have what color. Its on my user page and shows stones, ores, metals, alloys, gems, glass and trees. --[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 14:46, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

== Color >15? ==

I thought this was pretty cool, basically being Dwarven Active Camoflage. So i tried it on cats. It actually displayed what I put in, but the scale looped! Like, 20's responded like 4's, and so on!Can anyone verify if it really works? --[[User:Aescula|Aescula]] 12:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Worked in earlier versions, but it's possible Baughn's changes to the rendering code stopped this from happening. Maybe try with really high numbers? --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 20:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

v0.31:Color

Untelligent: Put the missing descriptor colors back in.

{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional|10:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)}}
'''Color''' is used to express various information, from a dwarf's {{L|profession}} to the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

:* ''If looking for different colors for the game as seen on your computer screen, see {{L|color schemes}}.''
:* ''If looking for the different colors used to represent different dwarfs, see {{L|Skill#Professions, colors, & skill categories|Skill categories}}.)''
:* ''If looking for colors of items listed in the z-stocks menu, see {{L|Stocks#Color_Code|Stocks}}.''

==Wall vs. floor color==
[[image:Towercaps-sandy.jpg|thumb|{{L|Phyllite}} (to the left) has DISPLAY_COLOR:0:7:1 and BASIC_COLOR:7:0. The {{L|white sand}} present has DISPLAY_COLOR:7:6:1 and so the actual floor color is 7:1 (white).]]

While the foreground, background and brightness shown in the {{L|Material definition token|RAW}} files will be applied to {{L|wall}}s, the {{L|stone|mineral}}'s "secondary" color will end up different. Here is how it works:
* If the BASIC_COLOR tag is specified, it will use that color. Note that the BASIC_COLOR tag only has foreground and brightness as arguments.
* If BASIC_COLOR is left out:
** The background color is forced to 0 (effectively stripping it).
** If the foreground color is 0, the game will display it as dark grey, color 8 (in other words, color 0 with brightness 1).
This is effective for {{L|stairs}}, {{L|floor}}s, {{L|ramp}}s, and {{L|construction}}s (in the case of stone). When stone is {{L|engraving|engraved}}, it uses the material's TILE_COLOR (which is the same as the DISPLAY_COLOR unless overridden).

== Modding color ==

If you wish to change how a specific item appears in the game, you can modify what colors are associated with that item.* Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color values ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:x:y:z] or [DISPLAY_COLOR:x:y:z] tokens. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

By default*, the following 8 pairs of colors are displayed:

::::''(* See {{L|color scheme}} for information about how to change the actual various colors as displayed.)''

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another token, e.g. <code>[LEAVES:quarry bush leaf:quarry bush leaves:6:7:0:0:0:0:1:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:LEAF]</code> specifies the colors "7:0:0" for quarry bush leaves and "0:0:1" for wilted quarry bush leaves.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the final value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location. [Disputed - see talk]

=== Color tokens ===

{{L|Dye}}s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[POWDER_DYE:EMERALD]</code>. However, the defined RGB values are never actually displayed in-game - instead, the game uses one of the above 16 colors, choosing the one with the closest RGB values.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

v0.31:Color

2010-06-08T21:01:24Z

Untelligent: Added all the descriptor colors that were added in DF2010

{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional|10:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)}}
'''Color''' is used to express various information, from a dwarf's {{L|profession}} to the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

:* ''If looking for different colors for the game as seen on your computer screen, see {{L|color schemes}}.''
:* ''If looking for the different colors used to represent different dwarfs, see {{L|Skill#Professions, colors, & skill categories|Skill categories}}.)''
:* ''If looking for colors of items listed in the z-stocks menu, see {{L|Stocks#Color_Code|Stocks}}.''

==Wall vs. floor color==
[[image:Towercaps-sandy.jpg|thumb|[[phyllite]] (to the left) has COLOR:0:7:1 and BASIC_COLOR:7. The white [[sand]] present has COLOR:7:6:1 and so the actual floor color is 7:1 (white).]]

While the foreground, background and brightness shown in the [[Matgloss tokens|MATGLOSS]] files will be applied to [[wall|walls]], the [[stone|mineral]]'s "secondary" color will end up different. Here is how it works:
* If the BASIC_COLOR tag is specified, it will use that color. Note that the BASIC_COLOR tag only has foreground and brightness as arguments.
* If BASIC_COLOR is left out:
** The background color is forced to 0 (effectively stripping it).
** If the foreground color is 0, the game will display it as dark grey, color 8 (in other words, color 0 with brightness 1).
This is effective for {{L|stairs}}, {{L|floor|floors}}, {{L|ramp|ramps}}, and {{L|construction|constructions}} (in the case of stone). When stone is {{L|engraving|engraved}}, it returns to the original color specified in MATGLOSS. The relevant matgloss files are the ones that begin with "<tt>matgloss_stone_</tt>".

== Modding color ==

If you wish to change how a specific item appears in the game, you can modify what colors are associated with that item.* Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

By default*, the following 8 pairs of colors are displayed:

::::''(* See {{L|color scheme}} for information about how to change the actual various colors as displayed.)''

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the final value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>. However, the defined RGB values are never actually displayed in-game - instead, the game uses one of the above 16 colors, choosing the one with the closest RGB values.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

== METAL_PREF and STONE_PREF ==

The article is certainly wrong about METAL_PREF, as DAMAGE_PERC and BLOCK_PERC no longer exist. In fact, I don't believe METAL_PREF does ''anything'' anymore - it seems that STONE_PREF is what determines a race's ability to use metals other than bronze now. [[User:Trorbes|Trorbes]] 21:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. See this post:

== DF2010 Title needs changing ==

The new version is now df_31_01 and each article beginning with "DF2010" seems tacky. Any others agree it should be changed to df31 or something around like that? [[User:Richards|Richards]] 19:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:The problem is that we version the wiki for each game-save compatibility change. Simply changing it to 31.01 would fix it now, but when 31.02 - 39.07 come out, and then finally 40.01 comes out that breaks save compatibility, we have much more work to do. Until we know the final version number in the series, it's not easy for us to just say "oh, this is it." --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::And wtf is the precedent? In all the versions of the wiki I've seen, versions are always specified as the actual number. How is it more clear to use DF2010 instead of v0.31.01? --Peewee 09:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:If you aren't planning to make more special version namespaces for a while, let's use the main namespace. Also, you guys really need to talk things out more before implementing giant sweeping changes. The more I see you describe your respective visions for the wiki, the more different they seem from each other. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:29, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::Well. A solution would be to make every article title for the current version just say the article name, ex/ instead of "DF2010:Armor", make it "Armor", like last time. If a new version is released that is different, then archive it as whatever version it last applied to, like "40d:Armor, or 31.01:Armor". Is there any problem with this idea? [[User:Richards|Richards]] 14:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is. (Namely, the amount of labor you're talking about if pages are not set-up for that.)

Here's "The Plan", which was set up a couple months ago (and which has been discussed elsewhere, but we'll do it one more time)...
:* Old versions are clearly labeled and consistently linked internally. All 40d links bounce around only to 40d articles, so if a player is researching that version, it's all one package. ''(Same w/ 23a, the "2-D" version previous to that, but an ongoing and lower-priority project.)''
:* "New" versions are, likewise, consistent within themselves. Versionless search terms (like "[[stone]]" automatically default to "current version".
:* Future versions get their own version names, "current" becomes one-older, and the pattern continues.
The current PROBLEM is three-fold - the first is the changeover itself, when first time Editors start firing away at articles without the correct names or understanding The Plan. That is understandable, but compounded by the fact that we don't currently ''know'' the "proper" version number to use - is it 0.31.01, or 0.31, or 31.01 - when the first bugfix comes out, what will be changed and what kept? What part of that number constitutes/defines this as a "version"? There is no equiv of 23.a or 40.d - it's a new code, and we weren't given the codebook. (We're waiting on Three-toe/Toady for a response on that.) The 3rd problem is "DF2010" - which is wrong, but while popular and everyone is using it, it won't be very friendly later down the road.

So... we've got something that works now but won't in the future, and needs to be changed to be consistent so we don't bequeath future Admin and users the big bone. A diff between more work now and the sort of complete cluster that has gone on behind the scenes for the last 2 months preparing for this change - which is going SO MUCH SMOOTHER NOW (believe it or not!) because of that (thankless, ahem) preparation.

Once we know the correct version, all current articles will appear as that. Search terms will default to current version. Older articles will be consistent within their own namespace. AND we'll be setup for future version changes without quite so much trauma (which is ''why'' some of the more obscure of these changes are being implemented). Clear as mud?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:Are you basically trying to say that DF2010 is a convenient placeholder string that can be used to identify and move articles by bot when we get a stable version number from Toady? --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 19:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::Dammit, if I could express myself in anything less than 500 words at a time, I would have! (Yes, that's basically what I'm saying.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I'm not sure who wins the eloquence award here. Anyways, we're still waiting on information from ToadyOne before we rename DF2010 to something else more appropriate. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 19:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::: Toady has already said that he plans to aim for possibly as often as a weekly bugfix release while the early issues of this release get ironed out. Trying to keep up with release number changes weekly would be an absolute nightmare. Until things calm down a bit I don't blame anyone here in the least for using DF2010 as a more general version name. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 15:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::It ''is'' understood that Toady intends (ideally) for this to be both the last save-compat breaking version and the last major long-delay version... correct? Putting the entire Wiki in a namespace forever seems to me like a fairly terrible idea in any case, but it is intended for future versions to change much less of existing stuff as things go on (that is why this version took so long, in part, to get all the sweeping structural changes out of the way.) It is unlikely that there will ever be another version that would require reversioning the entire wiki, if, indeed, you think that even this one reached that level. While I'm not sure I'd agree that it was necessary to reversion the wiki for this version, the DF development plan is certainly intended to be such that revisioning the Wiki like this will never be necessary again. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::: All I'm saying is that for the immediate near future a large number of incremental bug fix releases are to be expected. To avoid driving people completely nuts trying to keep up with frequent version changes it makes sense to use the DF2010 title in the short term. After we see things settle down a bit I agree we should probably go ahead and return to an actual version number. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 17:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::With the new version numbering system being so much simpler, could we simply refer to the version as 31a? Then changing letters to account for bugfixes. I'm using 0.31 enough myself but the decimal point is awful. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 17:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Not really. We're mainly talking about the namespace's name. Changing a namespaces's name is a BIG headache (though it is the reason we're using the <nowiki>{{l|link}}</nowiki> stuff) because we did know that we'd be doing at least one change, and that gets rid of a decent portion of the headache. [[user:Emi|Emi]] [[user_talk:Emi|[T]]] 18:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::I'm still waiting on ToadyOne to provide an official tagname for this series of releases. If we receive one, we will use it in the wiki. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 19:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== World Painter Page ==
The wiki has needed a page on the [[World Painter]] for a while, so I've started one. The information in there is decent, but I'm relatively new to wiki editing, so the formatting probably isn't. If someone wouldn't mind cleaning it up a bit for me I'd really appreciate it. --[[User:Timmeh|Timmeh]] 01:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

:Well I don't know if someone helped you already, but it looks fine to me. --[[User:frandude|frandude]]

== Add a CptnDuck page? ==

Captain Duck is a DF video tutorial maker, which an impressive collection of 40 videos on youtube (and a few extra videos of sieges and arenas and whatnot), and explains how to do most everything, from magma forges to Dwarven justice. He adds humor to it and he's the reason a lot of people understand the game...I think we should give him a page. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Blackdoggie998|Blackdoggie998]]

:As it is insanely easy for anyone to sign up for editing priviledges on this site (I managed to, after all), I see no need to make one for him when he could make one for himself. However, if you wish to add user:CptnDuck, or invite him to make one himself, feel free. He can link to all of his tutorials from his user page. They even be searchable through that lovely little box to the(my) left. (Who knows where it is on your skin.) -- [[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, at this time.

:P.S. Does it seem odd to you to have it say "unsigned comment by [username]"? Or is that just me? -- [[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, just a little after the previous one.
:: Clicking 'unsigned' gave me all the explanation I need, might want to do the same [[User:Kinzarr|Kinzarr]] 23:27, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

:We don't need a userpage for him, but a page with the assembled listing of all his (and others of equal quality) video tutorials wouldn't be a bad idea at all. -[[User:N9103|Edward]] 16:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

== Articles on Olivine and other generic stones ==

There is a current discussion as to whether or not [[Olivine]] (and perhaps some few other stones) are duly covered on the current [[stone]] page, or are truly worth having their own article/page. This relates to a larger question of how this wiki is organized, and "What deserves a page" in a general sense. Any interested are encouraged to chime in, if only with a "me too" post pro or con. See [[Talk:Olivine]] for an idea of the issue. I'd like to have the debate move from the specific Olivine page to here since this is a more general issue that affects many potential pages. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 21:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:I'm not really sure which way to go on this one. A lot of otherwise useless stones would need their own articles if the guidelines were expanded... and yet, there's a good amount of useful information that's not on the main pages, that would further clutter them if it were added; And permitting more individual pages would solve both those problems. I guess this ends up being a vote both ways, with provisions on each. -[[User:N9103|Edward]] 23:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:My vote is, if someone can make it amusing, then sure. If someone is of the bent to enjoy making such a page, then again, sure... otherwise, leave it at the bottom of the pile of "things that someday we might get around to if we feel like it" and don't stress. The relevant data is covered (or will be when someone notices it's not), and everything else is gravy. Beside, what would you rather do, play the game, or figure out how to make a whole page of jokes about how gneiss nice is.... (or did I get that backwards?)... ? --[[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, at this time.

::All relevant information is covered, yes. But not necessarily on a relevant page. Before the Olivine page was made you couldn't learn that olivine may contain native platinum from any page related to olivine or stone in general.
::Another example is kaolinite. You can look it up in the table of Other Stone to see it can be found in sedimentary rock. But in order to see that it may itself contain alunite and marcasite you have to go through the entire table (or use the browser search function). Now, in order to see if it may contain anything else, you have to notice the note at the top of the page (just above the table of contents) that points to Metal Ore and Gem, whith another two tables you have to search through. (Kaolinite may contain turquoise). --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 21:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

:It's not just about "which stones" - it's a larger question of how the wiki is organized and presented. Should each separate and distinct item get its own page, like the current one- or two-line articles on [[vial]]s, [[instrument]]s or [[Restraint|chain]]s, (just as random parallel examples of some [[finished goods]] that have their very own, very short, very dull, and predictably repetitive articles.) Surely the [[Masons guild]] and [[miners guild]] don't deserve or need separate articles. Do we need a separate and largely redundant article for every trap weapon? What about the cookie-cutter articles on ''every'' individual animal? The GCS deserves its own, and many others, but one on each separate type of shark and hunting cat? There is no actual article there, only a template.

:Quivers and bolts are sub-sections of the [[crossbow]] article, and I think that's a ''great'' call. Olivine, talc and kaolinite are merely similar examples, distinct enough to warrant special treatment, but on the borderline of being so small to each only represent a stub. Ultimately, I don't think a functional formal definition would be easily achieved - rather guidelines and a fuzzy target, combining related info into groups with optimal size limitations (both lower end and upper end). Perhaps a template should not be forced on every lesser example, but they could be grouped into a table on their own article, "other stones of note" or "sharks" or "finished goods" or whatever.

:In many ways, our only current guidelines are "what has been done so far" - and that varies widely and wildly. Too often, pages are cobbled onto related ones, or split off just because its a new topic, if a brutally short one. Myself, I'd like to see most related articles of less than 4 lines or so get grouped into larger, more universally informative articles, and anything larger than maybe 5 full sub-sections be considered for splitting up. If an item stands out from the rest, it should stand out somewhere, in an article - but that doesn't mean it has to have its very own, or invite every similar item to do so as well.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

:: Please check out the (no longer) current [[Chalk]] page and tell me what you think. ... which is to say, it doesn't /have/ to be a stub, does it? It can be rich and detailed and sadly unamusing. It would please me to continue to do all stones in this manner, or another manner of your choosing.... Thus negating fussing over "this one was done this way, that one was done that way" arguments. I'll get to them all, in the order they appear on the [[Stones]] page. ... assuming you guys are ok with that. --[[User:Teres Draconis]] 08:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
:: P.S. Who's the outpost manager of this place, anyways? I'd like to know to whom I should be pandering. --jaz

::: I think 1) you should take time to read, if not learn the wiki format guidelines, 2) you should sign with your REAL user name, and stop using a pseudonym, and 3) you should not break someone else's post with yours in between their paragraphs. As to the chalk page, I think it's over-enthusiastic and pays no attention to previous article style or formatting precedent - which may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 09:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

:::: 1) You're right, I'm sorry.
::::2) We've discussed user names on [[User_Talk:Teres_Draconis#Naming Conventions|my talks page]]. (Also, <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> still puts "jaz"... why bother with the link when it's just a P.S.?)
::::3) I'm sorry. I was (apparently) trained wrong, and that was a /long/ time ago. I was taught (20 years ago) that when responding, to do so in-line, so that people can tell what the response is actually relating to. (Like an actual conversation, except with a time warp. You say something, I respond, someone else adds, we all move on to the next topic.) It supposedly adds clarity. The style and curtesy rules of such things has changed. I can see I'll need to update myself. Thank you for pointing that out. =)
::::4) I was hasty. I had to have meatspace people explain to me why, as wiki-''writers'', you would not want so much detail on a page. Especially when, with every new game release, any given page on the wiki might need an over haul. I was only looking at it from the end-user perspective of "If I'm looking for information, I don't want a page that just tells me to go look at the three pages I've already looked at. I want a page that reduces the noise of the irrelevant, and distills to just that specific (sub-)topic." I /don't/ see the point of six pages that are identacle except for title, and all only three lines long. If it's got it's own page, it should have it's own page. If it just links back to the three pages that linked to it, and they all link to each other already, what's the point? If the only thing Chalk has going for it is that it's flux, why not just make a note on the [[Stone]] page reading, "These three rocks can be used as flux" and link to the flux page from there? Why should chalk have it's own page, if it's not going to be richly detailed and, you know, informative? - [[User:Teres Draconis|jaz]] 18:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

::"More useful" to some, but I agree it would be a great addition. Also, the more I think about it, the more I like what MrDG did with the table in Other Stone - tables could condense any and all small, individual articles into single pages w/ (sortable?) tables where all these various similar objects could be compared/contrasted at a glance. Templates are perfect when there is a lot of various info, but if the different topics (semi-generic stones, animals, finished goods) all differ only in one or two details, and there is just not that many variables to begin with, a Table would be (imo) preferable. ''(And imo that table now covers such stones as Olivine well, to get back to the original example that sparked this discussion.)''

::As an additional example of how current stub-articles could be combined into a simple table, I've made this page - [[Example - some fish]] - which could be a model for such. (A page/table with all the "Sea-creatures" would be more likely approp, but this was faster for now.) It would replace every stub-article on related "generic" items, but any truly noteworthy items would still have their own full articles for expanded information and commentary (here, "carp"). It still has 100% of the prev information, but also allows immediate comparison and contrast, and, if sortable, allows a User to more easily compare relations between similar aspects (like "biome", in this example.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 00:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I've read this sort of. My view is, wikis add value to the game far more for noobs than they do to legends who have been around since when the z-axis was just an idea. With this in mind, I reckon if everything with a name in the game had an article that would be *A Good Thing* (tm). Just my own opinion, feel free to disagree. Ideally, articles for things like stones should contain a template constructed from the raws, with prose/dialogue manually added.
Even things like [[screw pump]] could have a template driven section, advising what the components are / who makes it etc. Maybe <nowiki>{{building|Building Name|Component 1:Component 1 name|Component X| component X name|Constructed by|trade}}</nowiki> or similar.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 08:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree, probably, although that sounds like a lot of work. I think the stone templates and articles could do with a bit of a cleanup and more in-game information. I mostly use the articles to see if there's anything notable about a particular stone and then check out the wikipedia page. Some of the wikipedia links are broken or indirect now because disambiguity pages have been added since. Also, the wikipedia links are right at the bottom of very long boxes listing ores and gems and the like - I suggest adding drop down boxes to the templates that contain all that information but which are minimized by default. Or changing the template so that the wikipedia link wraps around the stone name at the top. --[[User:Harmonica|Harmonica]] 01:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Way late to this party, apologies. Tables are no good (to me) if they aren't sortable. The World Ends With You (a Nintendo DS game) Wikia portal/wiki thing has an ''awesome'' method for adding sortable tables. Some gadget called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] that hooks into the Wiki to automatically pull data out as you request it, then display it in easy-to-read and use sortable tables. The TWEWY Wikia has [http://twewy.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_Ends_With_You:Semantic_MediaWiki a page on it] for their editors, giving a few examples of how powerful it is. Their use of the tool is to easily pull information from a table of 304 items, each containing 30 attributes, to generate lists comparing and compiling various items. Hugely powerful, extremely flexible.

This type of tool would work wonderfully with a PHP RAW parser, or even simple dumps of the RAWs to the Wiki. Think of how easy it would be to update the entire Wiki across the board when new versions come out. New critters? Changes to existing critters? Update the information in one spot and it trickles down through the entire Wiki! That's in addition, of course, to being able to, say, generate tables listing how many bones each creature drops when killed, then sort to see which one drops the most. Pretty sweet stuff.

With some sort of system in place for wading through all the data on the wiki, one wouldn't have to worry about having too much information, right? -- [[User:Blank|Blank]] 04:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Particularly for stone, I think that it would be a good idea to describe each individual stone relative to other, similar stones. Let's use [[sandstone]] as an example. Suppose that I read (either in its own article, or in a table) something along the lines of "Sandstone is a [[sedimentary]] layer. Unlike most sedimentary layers, it may contain [[aquifers]] or veins of [[native copper]]." If I already know what a sedimentary layer is (and how it differs from other types of layers), this information will be much easier to process and much more useful than a full list of everything that appears in sandstone. If I have no idea what a sedimentary layer is, this will tell me that there are several sedimentary layers and that they all have many things in common, which is again more useful than a list of everything that appears in sandstone. --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 08:56, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:That's not the way this (any?) wiki is set up. The idea is that a lesser concept (here, "sandstone") need not include redundant info from a larger, parent concept (here, "sedimentary layer"). If you don't know what a sed'y layer is (or an aquifer or a vein or whatever) you click that link. If, then, you don't know what a "layer" is, you click that link. Sounds good at first, but if every lesser article included an explanation, even a quick synopsis, of the info for all relevant articles on broader, umbrella concepts, the articles, and this wiki as a whole, would explode beyond usefulness. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for making my point for me. If you look at the current sandstone article, it lists everything contained in sandstone. Looking at just the ores and non-generic stones, we have: Native copper, Hematite, Limonite, Magnetite, Native platinum, Tetrahedrite, Bituminous coal, Lignite, Bauxite. All of these except for native copper appear in every sedimentary layer. That's not even counting all of the generic stone (especially gypsum with its five other types of generic stone contained in it) and (mostly low-value) gems. 95% of the text in this article is redundant, and could easily be summarized by "This layer is exactly like every other sedimentary layer except for these two differences". --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 09:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Ah - ''that's'' your point. (When you said "describe", I thought you were advocating a narrative commentary on and verbal expansion of the info included in the sidebar.) When I was talking about not having redundant info, I was talking text - which is quite terse in this case, exactly because of the point you make. Those sidebars were designed to encapsulate the key info, an "at a glance" sort of thing, to avoid exactly what you're talking about in narrative form. Are the sidebars redundant? Often, yes. But they are the style this wiki has adopted for ''all'' stone. So you're talking not just about changing sed'y layers, but the style approach to all stone, since they would not then be consistent across the board. (Not how I would have personally designed the layout, but it's there and it works, and well. Any stone, same layout, same info in the same place, bam got it.) And when discussing presentation and usability issues, any article has to be taken both individually and in the context of others "like" it - here, any "stone" article is the same layout, the same info at a glance, which (for now) trumps whatever redundancies exist. Perhaps a quick line such as you're stating would go well, since there is, indeed, very little unique to say about any one sub-type of sedimentary layer, and that is info in and of itself. (Take a look at any [[igneous extrusive]] except obsidian for something similar.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

A lot of people have been talking a lot of things about reorganizing the information on the stones pages. After browsing around on them for a while, I've found the information to be mostly scattered and difficult to draw conclusions from. For example, I wasn't aware that each geographic stone type had a base list of stones that can appear, while only some of them have a couple of unique stones that may appear along with that list. It wasn't until I began gathering all of that data together for myself, that I found the patterns. I had to work to tie it all together. So, I have a partially completed table of pulldown menus on my user page right now. If anyone's interested they could take a look and tell me what they think? (Yes, I know a lot of it is redundant. I have an idea on how to fix this, but I haven't completely decided yet) --Kydo 13:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Lumping all the generic stones into one page is pretty much a labor saving device. There are a lot of different stones in DF most of which have no real differences other than color. So in one respect, I do see reasoning for saving some effort and dumping them in one place. On the other hand, it would be useful to me to see slightly more detailed information about each of the colored stones, for example, I know alunite looks a certain way before it is mined out, it's general color is bright white, when used to build trap components it is bright white in both the on and off position (many stones go to dark in the off position). In the same vein, when used to build tables and chairs, both will be bright white (many stones go to dark for chairs). If you're looking for a "certain look" and want to know a tiny bit more about the stone colors at present, that information simply isn't here as things are now.

== Not a Roguelike ==

Dwarf Fortress only resembles a Roguelike in the sense that everything kills you. ASCII graphics haven't connoted Rogue-resemblance since Diablo came out with modern 3D graphics and was still considered a Roguelike.

What makes a rogue-like? too classic a question to pass up . ahem IMHO there three major elements, A dungeon crawl/ fantasy setting, ASCII and random as hell. That makes dwarf fortress three outta three hits for me. Close enough, i'd say, if it's not a rogue-like what other category could it go in? sure its not a great fit but a unique game has to go somewhere. Diablo is a dungeon crawl like rogue sure, but it lacks the depth and randomness of any of the other recognised roguelikes, ADOM, moria etc. So one outta three? The depth, randomness and spontaneity really make it, ever had a character eaten by a bear on the way to the village in ADOM? classic. --[[User:Pedantictype|Pedantictype]] 05:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
:I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, Pedantictype. A Rogue-like is defined by the original: Rogue. Rogue was, first and foremost, a dungeon-crawl with control of a single character, yes?

== New Category Idea - Well Known Dwarves ==

After reading some stories on many of the most awesome dwarfs to show up in this game. (Namely Captain Ironblood, Morul, Tholtig) That a category, perhaps a sub one to Humor and Stories just for Dwarves that are very very clearly above the normal for the already outrageous(ly awesome) game of Dwarf Fortress. However do to the fact this is less on the game mechanics and such, the idea is first here so other's can figure if it's worth having a category. One thing that comes to mind is there really should be some sort of limit to what makes a Dwarf and Epic/Well Known Dwarf so as to prevent people from putting everyone they liked up there rather then the few '''everyone''' likes. Mostly asking as there is a handful of such dwarfs and that number is only going to (slowly) grow. Each said Dwarf I think deserves some sort of noting on a page for my two cents on the topic.
:I definitely thing that this is a great idea in the true spirit of DF.

== Images ==

So, what does everyone think? Would it be a good idea to have real-world images (or possibly sketches for fantasy, if applicable) of the following:
* Trees
* Fish
* Land animals
* Weapons and armor
* Stones
* Ores
* Land features (desert, savannah, etc.)
* Gems
* Metals
* Plants
We already have two pages with example images for a [[Pike_(weapon)#Pike|weapon]] and a [[Sandstone|stone]] for example. I find this very nice for visualizing my fortress and what's going on, since I'm not very familiar with many of the distinctions DF makes. I mean, I know what a fish looks like but I haven't got a clue what the difference between a pike and a char is, or a birch and alder, or even bronze and pewter to be honest.--[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 22:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
:The normal issues with this kind of thing is REAL-WORLD publishers being annoying with copyright. I guess if we can find it from the real-world wiki then there is a good chance it is a public domain image.

== Tutorials clutter ==

Currently we have in the first box:
*About Dwarf Fortress
*'''Tutorials and guides'''
*'''Quickstart guide (recent)'''
*'''Frequently Asked Questions'''
*'''Your first fortress'''
*'''Video tutorials'''
*'''Important advice'''
*'''Indecisive's Illustrated Tutorial'''
*'''Get help from online chat'''
*Game development
*'''Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock'''
*'''Starting builds'''

Bolded are the ones I think are redundant. Basically, we have the following categories of stuff:
*Tutorials for newbies: Step by step instructions where you follow what the guide says, without necessarily understanding why right away.
*Guides for newbies: General explanations of game concepts, such as z-level, how to set labors, how to farm, how to work the interface and install a graphical tileset, what the aim of the game is, etc.
*Guides for advanced players: These assume you know how to play the game, and are concerned with optimizing/pushing strategy. Embark build discussions which go beyond explaining the bare minimums you should take (such as "don't embark without a pick!", intended for newbies who may not know what they are doing), megaprojects, combat mechanics, computing, farming strategies, defense strategies, design strategies, macros, world generation parameter discussion and the like.
*FAQ, bugs and troubleshooting: The index of known problems and what to do about them, for when you have a clear question you want to figure out. This includes the FAQ, IRC channels and bugs to watch out for.
That makes 4 categories. Currently, we have 10 categories dealing with the same things. Moreover, the current break down makes no sense, and is obviously not maintained (I think that quickstart guide has been "recent" since early last summer). It's becoming confusing for the clueless first time player who was just linked to Bay12 and the wiki on a forum, and left to fend for itself. In fact, ideally, the tutorials and newbie guides should also be sorted from short to long, with datestamps.

I would rearrange the box myself, but I thought I'd ask what everyone else is thinking first. By the way, are there any tutorials for DF2010, or plans to write any? --[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 02:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== DF2010 Title needs changing ==

The new version is now df_31_01 and each article beginning with "DF2010" seems tacky. Any others agree it should be changed to df31 or something around like that? [[User:Richards|Richards]] 19:59, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:The problem is that we version the wiki for each game-save compatibility change. Simply changing it to 31.01 would fix it now, but when 31.02 - 39.07 come out, and then finally 40.01 comes out that breaks save compatibility, we have much more work to do. Until we know the final version number in the series, it's not easy for us to just say "oh, this is it." --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::And wtf is the precedent? In all the versions of the wiki I've seen, versions are always specified as the actual number. How is it more clear to use DF2010 instead of v0.31.01? --Peewee 09:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:If you aren't planning to make more special version namespaces for a while, let's use the main namespace. Also, you guys really need to talk things out more before implementing giant sweeping changes. The more I see you describe your respective visions for the wiki, the more different they seem from each other. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:29, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::Well. A solution would be to make every article title for the current version just say the article name, ex/ instead of "DF2010:Armor", make it "Armor", like last time. If a new version is released that is different, then archive it as whatever version it last applied to, like "40d:Armor, or 31.01:Armor". Is there any problem with this idea? [[User:Richards|Richards]] 14:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is. (Namely, the amount of labor you're talking about if pages are not set-up for that.)

Here's "The Plan", which was set up a couple months ago (and which has been discussed elsewhere, but we'll do it one more time)...
:* Old versions are clearly labeled and consistently linked internally. All 40d links bounce around only to 40d articles, so if a player is researching that version, it's all one package. ''(Same w/ 23a, the "2-D" version previous to that, but an ongoing and lower-priority project.)''
:* "New" versions are, likewise, consistent within themselves. Versionless search terms (like "[[stone]]" automatically default to "current version".
:* Future versions get their own version names, "current" becomes one-older, and the pattern continues.
The current PROBLEM is three-fold - the first is the changeover itself, when first time Editors start firing away at articles without the correct names or understanding The Plan. That is understandable, but compounded by the fact that we don't currently ''know'' the "proper" version number to use - is it 0.31.01, or 0.31, or 31.01 - when the first bugfix comes out, what will be changed and what kept? What part of that number constitutes/defines this as a "version"? There is no equiv of 23.a or 40.d - it's a new code, and we weren't given the codebook. (We're waiting on Three-toe/Toady for a response on that.) The 3rd problem is "DF2010" - which is wrong, but while popular and everyone is using it, it won't be very friendly later down the road.

So... we've got something that works now but won't in the future, and needs to be changed to be consistent so we don't bequeath future Admin and users the big bone. A diff between more work now and the sort of complete cluster that has gone on behind the scenes for the last 2 months preparing for this change - which is going SO MUCH SMOOTHER NOW (believe it or not!) because of that (thankless, ahem) preparation.

Once we know the correct version, all current articles will appear as that. Search terms will default to current version. Older articles will be consistent within their own namespace. AND we'll be setup for future version changes without quite so much trauma (which is ''why'' some of the more obscure of these changes are being implemented). Clear as mud?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:Are you basically trying to say that DF2010 is a convenient placeholder string that can be used to identify and move articles by bot when we get a stable version number from Toady? --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 19:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::Dammit, if I could express myself in anything less than 500 words at a time, I would have! (Yes, that's basically what I'm saying.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I'm not sure who wins the eloquence award here. Anyways, we're still waiting on information from ToadyOne before we rename DF2010 to something else more appropriate. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 19:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::: Toady has already said that he plans to aim for possibly as often as a weekly bugfix release while the early issues of this release get ironed out. Trying to keep up with release number changes weekly would be an absolute nightmare. Until things calm down a bit I don't blame anyone here in the least for using DF2010 as a more general version name. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 15:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::It ''is'' understood that Toady intends (ideally) for this to be both the last save-compat breaking version and the last major long-delay version... correct? Putting the entire Wiki in a namespace forever seems to me like a fairly terrible idea in any case, but it is intended for future versions to change much less of existing stuff as things go on (that is why this version took so long, in part, to get all the sweeping structural changes out of the way.) It is unlikely that there will ever be another version that would require reversioning the entire wiki, if, indeed, you think that even this one reached that level. While I'm not sure I'd agree that it was necessary to reversion the wiki for this version, the DF development plan is certainly intended to be such that revisioning the Wiki like this will never be necessary again. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::: All I'm saying is that for the immediate near future a large number of incremental bug fix releases are to be expected. To avoid driving people completely nuts trying to keep up with frequent version changes it makes sense to use the DF2010 title in the short term. After we see things settle down a bit I agree we should probably go ahead and return to an actual version number. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 17:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::With the new version numbering system being so much simpler, could we simply refer to the version as 31a? Then changing letters to account for bugfixes. I'm using 0.31 enough myself but the decimal point is awful. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 17:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Not really. We're mainly talking about the namespace's name. Changing a namespaces's name is a BIG headache (though it is the reason we're using the <nowiki>{{l|link}}</nowiki> stuff) because we did know that we'd be doing at least one change, and that gets rid of a decent portion of the headache. [[user:Emi|Emi]] [[user_talk:Emi|[T]]] 18:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::I'm still waiting on ToadyOne to provide an official tagname for this series of releases. If we receive one, we will use it in the wiki. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 19:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== World Painter Page ==
The wiki has needed a page on the [[World Painter]] for a while, so I've started one. The information in there is decent, but I'm relatively new to wiki editing, so the formatting probably isn't. If someone wouldn't mind cleaning it up a bit for me I'd really appreciate it. --[[User:Timmeh|Timmeh]] 01:15, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

== Add a CptnDuck page? ==

Captain Duck is a DF video tutorial maker, which an impressive collection of 40 videos on youtube (and a few extra videos of sieges and arenas and whatnot), and explains how to do most everything, from magma forges to Dwarven justice. He adds humor to it and he's the reason a lot of people understand the game...I think we should give him a page. – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:Blackdoggie998|Blackdoggie998]]

:As it is insanely easy for anyone to sign up for editing priviledges on this site (I managed to, after all), I see no need to make one for him when he could make one for himself. However, if you wish to add user:CptnDuck, or invite him to make one himself, feel free. He can link to all of his tutorials from his user page. They even be searchable through that lovely little box to the(my) left. (Who knows where it is on your skin.) -- [[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, at this time.

:P.S. Does it seem odd to you to have it say "unsigned comment by [username]"? Or is that just me? -- [[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, just a little after the previous one.

== Articles on Olivine and other generic stones ==

There is a current discussion as to whether or not [[Olivine]] (and perhaps some few other stones) are duly covered on the current [[stone]] page, or are truly worth having their own article/page. This relates to a larger question of how this wiki is organized, and "What deserves a page" in a general sense. Any interested are encouraged to chime in, if only with a "me too" post pro or con. See [[Talk:Olivine]] for an idea of the issue. I'd like to have the debate move from the specific Olivine page to here since this is a more general issue that affects many potential pages. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 21:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:I'm not really sure which way to go on this one. A lot of otherwise useless stones would need their own articles if the guidelines were expanded... and yet, there's a good amount of useful information that's not on the main pages, that would further clutter them if it were added; And permitting more individual pages would solve both those problems. I guess this ends up being a vote both ways, with provisions on each. -[[User:N9103|Edward]] 23:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:My vote is, if someone can make it amusing, then sure. If someone is of the bent to enjoy making such a page, then again, sure... otherwise, leave it at the bottom of the pile of "things that someday we might get around to if we feel like it" and don't stress. The relevant data is covered (or will be when someone notices it's not), and everything else is gravy. Beside, what would you rather do, play the game, or figure out how to make a whole page of jokes about how gneiss nice is.... (or did I get that backwards?)... ? --[[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, at this time.

::All relevant information is covered, yes. But not necessarily on a relevant page. Before the Olivine page was made you couldn't learn that olivine may contain native platinum from any page related to olivine or stone in general.
::Another example is kaolinite. You can look it up in the table of Other Stone to see it can be found in sedimentary rock. But in order to see that it may itself contain alunite and marcasite you have to go through the entire table (or use the browser search function). Now, in order to see if it may contain anything else, you have to notice the note at the top of the page (just above the table of contents) that points to Metal Ore and Gem, whith another two tables you have to search through. (Kaolinite may contain turquoise). --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 21:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

:It's not just about "which stones" - it's a larger question of how the wiki is organized and presented. Should each separate and distinct item get its own page, like the current one- or two-line articles on [[vial]]s, [[instrument]]s or [[Restraint|chain]]s, (just as random parallel examples of some [[finished goods]] that have their very own, very short, very dull, and predictably repetitive articles.) Surely the [[Masons guild]] and [[miners guild]] don't deserve or need separate articles. Do we need a separate and largely redundant article for every trap weapon? What about the cookie-cutter articles on ''every'' individual animal? The GCS deserves its own, and many others, but one on each separate type of shark and hunting cat? There is no actual article there, only a template.

:Quivers and bolts are sub-sections of the [[crossbow]] article, and I think that's a ''great'' call. Olivine, talc and kaolinite are merely similar examples, distinct enough to warrant special treatment, but on the borderline of being so small to each only represent a stub. Ultimately, I don't think a functional formal definition would be easily achieved - rather guidelines and a fuzzy target, combining related info into groups with optimal size limitations (both lower end and upper end). Perhaps a template should not be forced on every lesser example, but they could be grouped into a table on their own article, "other stones of note" or "sharks" or "finished goods" or whatever.

:In many ways, our only current guidelines are "what has been done so far" - and that varies widely and wildly. Too often, pages are cobbled onto related ones, or split off just because its a new topic, if a brutally short one. Myself, I'd like to see most related articles of less than 4 lines or so get grouped into larger, more universally informative articles, and anything larger than maybe 5 full sub-sections be considered for splitting up. If an item stands out from the rest, it should stand out somewhere, in an article - but that doesn't mean it has to have its very own, or invite every similar item to do so as well.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

::: I think 1) you should take time to read, if not learn the wiki format guidelines, 2) you should sign with your REAL user name, and stop using a pseudonym, and 3) you should not break someone else's post with yours in between their paragraphs.

::::3) I'm sorry. I was (apparently) trained wrong, and that was a /long/ time ago. I was taught (20 years ago) that when responding, to do so in-line, so that people can tell what the response is actually relating to. (Like an actual conversation, except with a time warp. You say something, I respond, someone else adds, we all move on to the next topic.) It supposedly adds clarity. The style and curtesy rules of such things has changed. I can see I'll need to update myself. Thank you for pointing that out. =)
::::4) I was hasty. I had to have meatspace people explain to me why, as wiki-''writers'', you would not want so much detail on a page. Especially when, with every new game release, any given page on the wiki might need an over haul. I was only looking at it from the end-user perspective of "If I'm looking for information, I don't want a page that just tells me to go look at the three pages I've already looked at. I want a page that reduces the noise of the irrelevant, and distills to just that specific (sub-)topic." I /don't/ see the point of six pages that are identacle except for title, and all only three lines long. If it's got it's own page, it should have it's own page. If it just links back to the three pages that linked to it, and they all link to each other already, what's the point? If the only thing Chalk has going for it is that it's flux, why not just make a note on the [[Stone]] page reading, "These three rocks can be used as flux" and link to the flux page from there? Why should chalk have it's own page, if it's not going to be richly detailed and, you know, informative? - [[User:Teres Draconis|jaz]] 18:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

::"More useful" to some, but I agree it would be a great addition. Also, the more I think about it, the more I like what MrDG did with the table in Other Stone - tables could condense any and all small, individual articles into single pages w/ (sortable?) tables where all these various similar objects could be compared/contrasted at a glance. Templates are perfect when there is a lot of various info, but if the different topics (semi-generic stones, animals, finished goods) all differ only in one or two details, and there is just not that many variables to begin with, a Table would be (imo) preferable. ''(And imo that table now covers such stones as Olivine well, to get back to the original example that sparked this discussion.)''

::As an additional example of how current stub-articles could be combined into a simple table, I've made this page - [[Example - some fish]] - which could be a model for such. (A page/table with all the "Sea-creatures" would be more likely approp, but this was faster for now.) It would replace every stub-article on related "generic" items, but any truly noteworthy items would still have their own full articles for expanded information and commentary (here, "carp"). It still has 100% of the prev information, but also allows immediate comparison and contrast, and, if sortable, allows a User to more easily compare relations between similar aspects (like "biome", in this example.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 00:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I've read this sort of. My view is, wikis add value to the game far more for noobs than they do to legends who have been around since when the z-axis was just an idea. With this in mind, I reckon if everything with a name in the game had an article that would be *A Good Thing* (tm). Just my own opinion, feel free to disagree. Ideally, articles for things like stones should contain a template constructed from the raws, with prose/dialogue manually added.
Even things like [[screw pump]] could have a template driven section, advising what the components are / who makes it etc. Maybe <nowiki>{{building|Building Name|Component 1:Component 1 name|Component X| component X name|Constructed by|trade}}</nowiki> or similar.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 08:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree, probably, although that sounds like a lot of work. I think the stone templates and articles could do with a bit of a cleanup and more in-game information. I mostly use the articles to see if there's anything notable about a particular stone and then check out the wikipedia page. Some of the wikipedia links are broken or indirect now because disambiguity pages have been added since. Also, the wikipedia links are right at the bottom of very long boxes listing ores and gems and the like - I suggest adding drop down boxes to the templates that contain all that information but which are minimized by default. Or changing the template so that the wikipedia link wraps around the stone name at the top. --[[User:Harmonica|Harmonica]] 01:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Way late to this party, apologies. Tables are no good (to me) if they aren't sortable. The World Ends With You (a Nintendo DS game) Wikia portal/wiki thing has an ''awesome'' method for adding sortable tables. Some gadget called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] that hooks into the Wiki to automatically pull data out as you request it, then display it in easy-to-read and use sortable tables. The TWEWY Wikia has [http://twewy.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_Ends_With_You:Semantic_MediaWiki a page on it] for their editors, giving a few examples of how powerful it is. Their use of the tool is to easily pull information from a table of 304 items, each containing 30 attributes, to generate lists comparing and compiling various items. Hugely powerful, extremely flexible.

This type of tool would work wonderfully with a PHP RAW parser, or even simple dumps of the RAWs to the Wiki. Think of how easy it would be to update the entire Wiki across the board when new versions come out. New critters? Changes to existing critters? Update the information in one spot and it trickles down through the entire Wiki! That's in addition, of course, to being able to, say, generate tables listing how many bones each creature drops when killed, then sort to see which one drops the most. Pretty sweet stuff.

With some sort of system in place for wading through all the data on the wiki, one wouldn't have to worry about having too much information, right? -- [[User:Blank|Blank]] 04:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Particularly for stone, I think that it would be a good idea to describe each individual stone relative to other, similar stones. Let's use [[sandstone]] as an example. Suppose that I read (either in its own article, or in a table) something along the lines of "Sandstone is a [[sedimentary]] layer. Unlike most sedimentary layers, it may contain [[aquifers]] or veins of [[native copper]]." If I already know what a sedimentary layer is (and how it differs from other types of layers), this information will be much easier to process and much more useful than a full list of everything that appears in sandstone. If I have no idea what a sedimentary layer is, this will tell me that there are several sedimentary layers and that they all have many things in common, which is again more useful than a list of everything that appears in sandstone. --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 08:56, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:That's not the way this (any?) wiki is set up. The idea is that a lesser concept (here, "sandstone") need not include redundant info from a larger, parent concept (here, "sedimentary layer"). If you don't know what a sed'y layer is (or an aquifer or a vein or whatever) you click that link. If, then, you don't know what a "layer" is, you click that link. Sounds good at first, but if every lesser article included an explanation, even a quick synopsis, of the info for all relevant articles on broader, umbrella concepts, the articles, and this wiki as a whole, would explode beyond usefulness. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for making my point for me. If you look at the current sandstone article, it lists everything contained in sandstone. Looking at just the ores and non-generic stones, we have: Native copper, Hematite, Limonite, Magnetite, Native platinum, Tetrahedrite, Bituminous coal, Lignite, Bauxite. All of these except for native copper appear in every sedimentary layer. That's not even counting all of the generic stone (especially gypsum with its five other types of generic stone contained in it) and (mostly low-value) gems. 95% of the text in this article is redundant, and could easily be summarized by "This layer is exactly like every other sedimentary layer except for these two differences". --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 09:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Ah - ''that's'' your point. (When you said "describe", I thought you were advocating a narrative commentary on and verbal expansion of the info included in the sidebar.) When I was talking about not having redundant info, I was talking text - which is quite terse in this case, exactly because of the point you make. Those sidebars were designed to encapsulate the key info, an "at a glance" sort of thing, to avoid exactly what you're talking about in narrative form. Are the sidebars redundant? Often, yes. But they are the style this wiki has adopted for ''all'' stone. So you're talking not just about changing sed'y layers, but the style approach to all stone, since they would not then be consistent across the board. (Not how I would have personally designed the layout, but it's there and it works, and well. Any stone, same layout, same info in the same place, bam got it.) And when discussing presentation and usability issues, any article has to be taken both individually and in the context of others "like" it - here, any "stone" article is the same layout, the same info at a glance, which (for now) trumps whatever redundancies exist. Perhaps a quick line such as you're stating would go well, since there is, indeed, very little unique to say about any one sub-type of sedimentary layer, and that is info in and of itself. (Take a look at any [[igneous extrusive]] except obsidian for something similar.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

A lot of people have been talking a lot of things about reorganizing the information on the stones pages. After browsing around on them for a while, I've found the information to be mostly scattered and difficult to draw conclusions from. For example, I wasn't aware that each geographic stone type had a base list of stones that can appear, while only some of them have a couple of unique stones that may appear along with that list. It wasn't until I began gathering all of that data together for myself, that I found the patterns. I had to work to tie it all together. So, I have a partially completed table of pulldown menus on my user page right now. If anyone's interested they could take a look and tell me what they think? (Yes, I know a lot of it is redundant. I have an idea on how to fix this, but I haven't completely decided yet) --Kydo 13:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Lumping all the generic stones into one page is pretty much a labor saving device. There are a lot of different stones in DF most of which have no real differences other than color. So in one respect, I do see reasoning for saving some effort and dumping them in one place. On the other hand, it would be useful to me to see slightly more detailed information about each of the colored stones, for example, I know alunite looks a certain way before it is mined out, it's general color is bright white, when used to build trap components it is bright white in both the on and off position (many stones go to dark in the off position). In the same vein, when used to build tables and chairs, both will be bright white (many stones go to dark for chairs). If you're looking for a "certain look" and want to know a tiny bit more about the stone colors at present, that information simply isn't here as things are now.

== Not a Roguelike ==

Dwarf Fortress only resembles a Roguelike in the sense that everything kills you. ASCII graphics haven't connoted Rogue-resemblance since Diablo came out with modern 3D graphics and was still considered a Roguelike.
[[User:LogicalDash|LogicalDash]] 22:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

What makes a rogue-like? too classic a question to pass up . ahem IMHO there three major elements, A dungeon crawl/ fantasy setting, ASCII and random as hell. That makes dwarf fortress three outta three hits for me. Close enough, i'd say, if it's not a rogue-like what other category could it go in? sure its not a great fit but a unique game has to go somewhere. Diablo is a dungeon crawl like rogue sure, but it lacks the depth and randomness of any of the other recognised roguelikes, ADOM, moria etc. So one outta three? The depth, randomness and spontaneity really make it, ever had a character eaten by a bear on the way to the village in ADOM? classic. --[[User:Pedantictype|Pedantictype]] 05:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
:I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, Pedantictype. A Rogue-like is defined by the original: Rogue. Rogue was, first and foremost, a dungeon-crawl with control of a single character, yes? I would postulate that that is one of the elements that is required to be defined as a rogue-like, which qualifies Adventure mode but not Fortress mode. --[[User:Eagle0600|Eagle0600]] 05:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
::Eagle's right. A roguelike game plays somewhat like Rogue and has ascii graphics. Fortress mode DF is a tactical/strategic/sandbox ascii game, not a roguelike. And isn't there general intent for it to have graphics one day, once it's out of the design stages? --Kydo 01:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

== New Category Idea - Well Known Dwarves ==

After reading some stories on many of the most awesome dwarfs to show up in this game. (Namely Captain Ironblood, Morul, Tholtig) That a category, perhaps a sub one to Humor and Stories just for Dwarves that are very very clearly above the normal for the already outrageous(ly awesome) game of Dwarf Fortress. However do to the fact this is less on the game mechanics and such, the idea is first here so other's can figure if it's worth having a category. One thing that comes to mind is there really should be some sort of limit to what makes a Dwarf and Epic/Well Known Dwarf so as to prevent people from putting everyone they liked up there rather then the few '''everyone''' likes. Mostly asking as there is a handful of such dwarfs and that number is only going to (slowly) grow. Each said Dwarf I think deserves some sort of noting on a page for my two cents on the topic.
:I definitely thing that this is a great idea in the true spirit of DF.

== Images ==

So, what does everyone think? Would it be a good idea to have real-world images (or possibly sketches for fantasy, if applicable) of the following:
* Trees
* Fish
* Land animals
* Weapons and armor
* Stones
* Ores
* Land features (desert, savannah, etc.)
* Gems
* Metals
* Plants
We already have two pages with example images for a [[Pike_(weapon)#Pike|weapon]] and a [[Sandstone|stone]] for example. I find this very nice for visualizing my fortress and what's going on, since I'm not very familiar with many of the distinctions DF makes. I mean, I know what a fish looks like but I haven't got a clue what the difference between a pike and a char is, or a birch and alder, or even bronze and pewter to be honest.--[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 22:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
:The normal issues with this kind of thing is REAL-WORLD publishers being annoying with copyright. I guess if we can find it from the real-world wiki then there is a good chance it is a public domain image.
:There is no way in the world it would hurt an article to have one of these. Although, for fantasy objects, materials, and creatures, there may well be some discussion about if the "Dragon" should be a European, Oriental, or some other dragon (and so on for the rest).

As the subject has been mentioned on the forum:
some articles have been moved to a new 40d namespace. This is intended to make way for the "main" namespace to be reserved for the "current version", which ''real soon now'' will be DF2010.
For the full discussion see [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Versions]] and the talk page.
[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 10:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Then bloody well move them. These blank 40d pages are making finding information that is supposed to be there very hard to find.

== Tutorials clutter ==

Currently we have in the first box:
*About Dwarf Fortress
*'''Tutorials and guides'''
*'''Quickstart guide (recent)'''
*'''Frequently Asked Questions'''
*'''Your first fortress'''
*'''Video tutorials'''
*'''Important advice'''
*'''Indecisive's Illustrated Tutorial'''
*'''Get help from online chat'''
*Game development
*'''Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock'''
*'''Starting builds'''

Bolded are the ones I think are redundant. Basically, we have the following categories of stuff:
*Tutorials for newbies: Step by step instructions where you follow what the guide says, without necessarily understanding why right away.
*Guides for newbies: General explanations of game concepts, such as z-level, how to set labors, how to farm, how to work the interface and install a graphical tileset, what the aim of the game is, etc.
*Guides for advanced players: These assume you know how to play the game, and are concerned with optimizing/pushing strategy. Embark build discussions which go beyond explaining the bare minimums you should take (such as "don't embark without a pick!", intended for newbies who may not know what they are doing), megaprojects, combat mechanics, computing, farming strategies, defense strategies, design strategies, macros, world generation parameter discussion and the like.
*FAQ, bugs and troubleshooting: The index of known problems and what to do about them, for when you have a clear question you want to figure out. This includes the FAQ, IRC channels and bugs to watch out for.
That makes 4 categories. Currently, we have 10 categories dealing with the same things. Moreover, the current break down makes no sense, and is obviously not maintained (I think that quickstart guide has been "recent" since early last summer). It's becoming confusing for the clueless first time player who was just linked to Bay12 and the wiki on a forum, and left to fend for itself. In fact, ideally, the tutorials and newbie guides should also be sorted from short to long, with datestamps.

I would rearrange the box myself, but I thought I'd ask what everyone else is thinking first. By the way, are there any tutorials for DF2010, or plans to write any? --[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 02:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Given that the version number is expected to be changing quite rapidly in the near future as bugs are caught and killed, I think it's a good idea to always keep a version number associated with any bug reports we migrate into the wiki pages.

There used to be a link to the changelog and a link to the 31_01 release information, but now there's just a link to the release information labeled "changelog." Also the main page appears to use a funny template or something so the link's messed up throughout all of the mainpage history.

:The problem is that we version the wiki for each game-save compatibility change.

[[User:Richards|Richards]] 14:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there is. (Namely, the amount of labor you're talking about if pages are not set-up for that.)

Here's "The Plan", which was set up a couple months ago (and which has been discussed elsewhere, but we'll do it one more time)...
:* Old versions are clearly labeled and consistently linked internally. All 40d links bounce around only to 40d articles, so if a player is researching that version, it's all one package. ''(Same w/ 23a, the "2-D" version previous to that, but an ongoing and lower-priority project.)''
:* "New" versions are, likewise, consistent within themselves. Versionless search terms (like "[[stone]]" automatically default to "current version".
:* Future versions get their own version names, "current" becomes one-older, and the pattern continues.
The current PROBLEM is three-fold - the first is the changeover itself, when first time Editors start firing away at articles without the correct names or understanding The Plan. That is understandable, but compounded by the fact that we don't currently ''know'' the "proper" version number to use - is it 0.31.01, or 0.31, or 31.01 - when the first bugfix comes out, what will be changed and what kept? What part of that number constitutes/defines this as a "version"? There is no equiv of 23.a or 40.d - it's a new code, and we weren't given the codebook. (We're waiting on Three-toe/Toady for a response on that.) The 3rd problem is "DF2010" - which is wrong, but while popular and everyone is using it, it won't be very friendly later down the road.

So... we've got something that works now but won't in the future, and needs to be changed to be consistent so we don't bequeath future Admin and users the big bone. A diff between more work now and the sort of complete cluster that has gone on behind the scenes for the last 2 months preparing for this change - which is going SO MUCH SMOOTHER NOW (believe it or not!) because of that (thankless, ahem) preparation.

Once we know the correct version, all current articles will appear as that. Search terms will default to current version. Older articles will be consistent within their own namespace. AND we'll be setup for future version changes without quite so much trauma (which is ''why'' some of the more obscure of these changes are being implemented). Clear as mud?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 19:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::It ''is'' understood that Toady intends (ideally) for this to be both the last save-compat breaking version and the last major long-delay version... correct? Putting the entire Wiki in a namespace forever seems to me like a fairly terrible idea in any case, but it is intended for future versions to change much less of existing stuff as things go on (that is why this version took so long, in part, to get all the sweeping structural changes out of the way.) It is unlikely that there will ever be another version that would require reversioning the entire wiki, if, indeed, you think that even this one reached that level. While I'm not sure I'd agree that it was necessary to reversion the wiki for this version, the DF development plan is certainly intended to be such that revisioning the Wiki like this will never be necessary again. --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== Articles on Olivine and other generic stones ==

There is a current discussion as to whether or not [[Olivine]] (and perhaps some few other stones) are duly covered on the current [[stone]] page, or are truly worth having their own article/page. This relates to a larger question of how this wiki is organized, and "What deserves a page" in a general sense. Any interested are encouraged to chime in, if only with a "me too" post pro or con. See [[Talk:Olivine]] for an idea of the issue. I'd like to have the debate move from the specific Olivine page to here since this is a more general issue that affects many potential pages. --[[User:Senso|Senso]] 21:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:I'm not really sure which way to go on this one. A lot of otherwise useless stones would need their own articles if the guidelines were expanded... and yet, there's a good amount of useful information that's not on the main pages, that would further clutter them if it were added; And permitting more individual pages would solve both those problems. I guess this ends up being a vote both ways, with provisions on each. -[[User:N9103|Edward]] 23:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:My vote is, if someone can make it amusing, then sure. If someone is of the bent to enjoy making such a page, then again, sure... otherwise, leave it at the bottom of the pile of "things that someday we might get around to if we feel like it" and don't stress. The relevant data is covered (or will be when someone notices it's not), and everything else is gravy. Beside, what would you rather do, play the game, or figure out how to make a whole page of jokes about how gneiss nice is.... (or did I get that backwards?)... ? --[[User:Teres_Draconis|jaz]] ... on this day, at this time.

::All relevant information is covered, yes. But not necessarily on a relevant page. Before the Olivine page was made you couldn't learn that olivine may contain native platinum from any page related to olivine or stone in general.
::Another example is kaolinite. You can look it up in the table of Other Stone to see it can be found in sedimentary rock. But in order to see that it may itself contain alunite and marcasite you have to go through the entire table (or use the browser search function). Now, in order to see if it may contain anything else, you have to notice the note at the top of the page (just above the table of contents) that points to Metal Ore and Gem, whith another two tables you have to search through. (Kaolinite may contain turquoise). --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 21:44, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

:It's not just about "which stones" - it's a larger question of how the wiki is organized and presented. Should each separate and distinct item get its own page, like the current one- or two-line articles on [[vial]]s, [[instrument]]s or [[Restraint|chain]]s, (just as random parallel examples of some [[finished goods]] that have their very own, very short, very dull, and predictably repetitive articles.) Surely the [[Masons guild]] and [[miners guild]] don't deserve or need separate articles. Do we need a separate and largely redundant article for every trap weapon? What about the cookie-cutter articles on ''every'' individual animal? The GCS deserves its own, and many others, but one on each separate type of shark and hunting cat? There is no actual article there, only a template.

:Quivers and bolts are sub-sections of the [[crossbow]] article, and I think that's a ''great'' call. Olivine, talc and kaolinite are merely similar examples, distinct enough to warrant special treatment, but on the borderline of being so small to each only represent a stub. Ultimately, I don't think a functional formal definition would be easily achieved - rather guidelines and a fuzzy target, combining related info into groups with optimal size limitations (both lower end and upper end). Perhaps a template should not be forced on every lesser example, but they could be grouped into a table on their own article, "other stones of note" or "sharks" or "finished goods" or whatever.

:In many ways, our only current guidelines are "what has been done so far" - and that varies widely and wildly. Too often, pages are cobbled onto related ones, or split off just because its a new topic, if a brutally short one. Myself, I'd like to see most related articles of less than 4 lines or so get grouped into larger, more universally informative articles, and anything larger than maybe 5 full sub-sections be considered for splitting up. If an item stands out from the rest, it should stand out somewhere, in an article - but that doesn't mean it has to have its very own, or invite every similar item to do so as well.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

::::4) I was hasty. I had to have meatspace people explain to me why, as wiki-''writers'', you would not want so much detail on a page. Especially when, with every new game release, any given page on the wiki might need an over haul. I was only looking at it from the end-user perspective of "If I'm looking for information, I don't want a page that just tells me to go look at the three pages I've already looked at. I want a page that reduces the noise of the irrelevant, and distills to just that specific (sub-)topic." I /don't/ see the point of six pages that are identacle except for title, and all only three lines long. If it's got it's own page, it should have it's own page. If it just links back to the three pages that linked to it, and they all link to each other already, what's the point? If the only thing Chalk has going for it is that it's flux, why not just make a note on the [[Stone]] page reading, "These three rocks can be used as flux" and link to the flux page from there? Why should chalk have it's own page, if it's not going to be richly detailed and, you know, informative? - [[User:Teres Draconis|jaz]] 18:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

::"More useful" to some, but I agree it would be a great addition. Also, the more I think about it, the more I like what MrDG did with the table in Other Stone - tables could condense any and all small, individual articles into single pages w/ (sortable?) tables where all these various similar objects could be compared/contrasted at a glance. Templates are perfect when there is a lot of various info, but if the different topics (semi-generic stones, animals, finished goods) all differ only in one or two details, and there is just not that many variables to begin with, a Table would be (imo) preferable. ''(And imo that table now covers such stones as Olivine well, to get back to the original example that sparked this discussion.)''

::As an additional example of how current stub-articles could be combined into a simple table, I've made this page - [[Example - some fish]] - which could be a model for such.

It would replace every stub-article on related "generic" items, but any truly noteworthy items would still have their own full articles for expanded information and commentary (here, "carp").

I've read this sort of. My view is, wikis add value to the game far more for noobs than they do to legends who have been around since when the z-axis was just an idea. With this in mind, I reckon if everything with a name in the game had an article that would be *A Good Thing* (tm). Just my own opinion, feel free to disagree. Ideally, articles for things like stones should contain a template constructed from the raws, with prose/dialogue manually added.
Even things like [[screw pump]] could have a template driven section, advising what the components are / who makes it etc. Maybe <nowiki>{{building|Building Name|Component 1:Component 1 name|Component X| component X name|Constructed by|trade}}</nowiki> or similar.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 08:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree, probably, although that sounds like a lot of work. I think the stone templates and articles could do with a bit of a cleanup and more in-game information. I mostly use the articles to see if there's anything notable about a particular stone and then check out the wikipedia page. Some of the wikipedia links are broken or indirect now because disambiguity pages have been added since. Also, the wikipedia links are right at the bottom of very long boxes listing ores and gems and the like - I suggest adding drop down boxes to the templates that contain all that information but which are minimized by default. Or changing the template so that the wikipedia link wraps around the stone name at the top. --[[User:Harmonica|Harmonica]] 01:36, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Way late to this party, apologies. Tables are no good (to me) if they aren't sortable. The World Ends With You (a Nintendo DS game) Wikia portal/wiki thing has an ''awesome'' method for adding sortable tables. Some gadget called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] that hooks into the Wiki to automatically pull data out as you request it, then display it in easy-to-read and use sortable tables. The TWEWY Wikia has [http://twewy.wikia.com/wiki/The_World_Ends_With_You:Semantic_MediaWiki a page on it] for their editors, giving a few examples of how powerful it is. Their use of the tool is to easily pull information from a table of 304 items, each containing 30 attributes, to generate lists comparing and compiling various items. Hugely powerful, extremely flexible.

This type of tool would work wonderfully with a PHP RAW parser, or even simple dumps of the RAWs to the Wiki. Think of how easy it would be to update the entire Wiki across the board when new versions come out. New critters? Changes to existing critters? Update the information in one spot and it trickles down through the entire Wiki! That's in addition, of course, to being able to, say, generate tables listing how many bones each creature drops when killed, then sort to see which one drops the most. Pretty sweet stuff.

With some sort of system in place for wading through all the data on the wiki, one wouldn't have to worry about having too much information, right? -- [[User:Blank|Blank]] 04:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Particularly for stone, I think that it would be a good idea to describe each individual stone relative to other, similar stones. Let's use [[sandstone]] as an example. Suppose that I read (either in its own article, or in a table) something along the lines of "Sandstone is a [[sedimentary]] layer. Unlike most sedimentary layers, it may contain [[aquifers]] or veins of [[native copper]]." If I already know what a sedimentary layer is (and how it differs from other types of layers), this information will be much easier to process and much more useful than a full list of everything that appears in sandstone. If I have no idea what a sedimentary layer is, this will tell me that there are several sedimentary layers and that they all have many things in common, which is again more useful than a list of everything that appears in sandstone. --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 08:56, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:That's not the way this (any?) wiki is set up. The idea is that a lesser concept (here, "sandstone") need not include redundant info from a larger, parent concept (here, "sedimentary layer"). If you don't know what a sed'y layer is (or an aquifer or a vein or whatever) you click that link. If, then, you don't know what a "layer" is, you click that link. Sounds good at first, but if every lesser article included an explanation, even a quick synopsis, of the info for all relevant articles on broader, umbrella concepts, the articles, and this wiki as a whole, would explode beyond usefulness. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 23:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks for making my point for me. If you look at the current sandstone article, it lists everything contained in sandstone. Looking at just the ores and non-generic stones, we have: Native copper, Hematite, Limonite, Magnetite, Native platinum, Tetrahedrite, Bituminous coal, Lignite, Bauxite. All of these except for native copper appear in every sedimentary layer. That's not even counting all of the generic stone (especially gypsum with its five other types of generic stone contained in it) and (mostly low-value) gems. 95% of the text in this article is redundant, and could easily be summarized by "This layer is exactly like every other sedimentary layer except for these two differences". --[[User:LaVacaMorada|LaVacaMorada]] 09:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Ah - ''that's'' your point. (When you said "describe", I thought you were advocating a narrative commentary on and verbal expansion of the info included in the sidebar.) When I was talking about not having redundant info, I was talking text - which is quite terse in this case, exactly because of the point you make. Those sidebars were designed to encapsulate the key info, an "at a glance" sort of thing, to avoid exactly what you're talking about in narrative form. Are the sidebars redundant? Often, yes. But they are the style this wiki has adopted for ''all'' stone. So you're talking not just about changing sed'y layers, but the style approach to all stone, since they would not then be consistent across the board. (Not how I would have personally designed the layout, but it's there and it works, and well. Any stone, same layout, same info in the same place, bam got it.) And when discussing presentation and usability issues, any article has to be taken both individually and in the context of others "like" it - here, any "stone" article is the same layout, the same info at a glance, which (for now) trumps whatever redundancies exist. Perhaps a quick line such as you're stating would go well, since there is, indeed, very little unique to say about any one sub-type of sedimentary layer, and that is info in and of itself. (Take a look at any [[igneous extrusive]] except obsidian for something similar.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 16:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

A lot of people have been talking a lot of things about reorganizing the information on the stones pages. After browsing around on them for a while, I've found the information to be mostly scattered and difficult to draw conclusions from. For example, I wasn't aware that each geographic stone type had a base list of stones that can appear, while only some of them have a couple of unique stones that may appear along with that list. It wasn't until I began gathering all of that data together for myself, that I found the patterns. I had to work to tie it all together. So, I have a partially completed table of pulldown menus on my user page right now. If anyone's interested they could take a look and tell me what they think? (Yes, I know a lot of it is redundant. I have an idea on how to fix this, but I haven't completely decided yet) --Kydo 13:55, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Lumping all the generic stones into one page is pretty much a labor saving device. There are a lot of different stones in DF most of which have no real differences other than color. So in one respect, I do see reasoning for saving some effort and dumping them in one place. On the other hand, it would be useful to me to see slightly more detailed information about each of the colored stones, for example, I know alunite looks a certain way before it is mined out, it's general color is bright white, when used to build trap components it is bright white in both the on and off position (many stones go to dark in the off position). In the same vein, when used to build tables and chairs, both will be bright white (many stones go to dark for chairs). If you're looking for a "certain look" and want to know a tiny bit more about the stone colors at present, that information simply isn't here as things are now.

That makes dwarf fortress three outta three hits for me. Close enough, i'd say, if it's not a rogue-like what other category could it go in? sure its not a great fit but a unique game has to go somewhere. Diablo is a dungeon crawl like rogue sure, but it lacks the depth and randomness of any of the other recognised roguelikes, ADOM, moria etc. So one outta three?

== New Category Idea - Well Known Dwarves ==

After reading some stories on many of the most awesome dwarfs to show up in this game. (Namely Captain Ironblood, Morul, Tholtig) That a category, perhaps a sub one to Humor and Stories just for Dwarves that are very very clearly above the normal for the already outrageous(ly awesome) game of Dwarf Fortress. However do to the fact this is less on the game mechanics and such, the idea is first here so other's can figure if it's worth having a category. One thing that comes to mind is there really should be some sort of limit to what makes a Dwarf and Epic/Well Known Dwarf so as to prevent people from putting everyone they liked up there rather then the few '''everyone''' likes. Mostly asking as there is a handful of such dwarfs and that number is only going to (slowly) grow. Each said Dwarf I think deserves some sort of noting on a page for my two cents on the topic.
:I definitely thing that this is a great idea in the true spirit of DF.

== Images ==

So, what does everyone think? Would it be a good idea to have real-world images (or possibly sketches for fantasy, if applicable) of the following:
* Trees
* Fish
* Land animals
* Weapons and armor
* Stones
* Ores
* Land features (desert, savannah, etc.)
* Gems
* Metals
* Plants
We already have two pages with example images for a [[Pike_(weapon)#Pike|weapon]] and a [[Sandstone|stone]] for example. I find this very nice for visualizing my fortress and what's going on, since I'm not very familiar with many of the distinctions DF makes. I mean, I know what a fish looks like but I haven't got a clue what the difference between a pike and a char is, or a birch and alder, or even bronze and pewter to be honest.--[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 22:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

:As a rule of thumb, "graphics" are good things - eye candy, if nothing else. Purty. Use common sense and discretion when choosing (or creating) the image - avoid genre-specific images or anything that is copyrighted (like from an identifiable RPG, for instance), and perhaps add "artist's interpretation" under it, or a selection of (smaller) different images for something like a dragon (tho' I, personally, don't see dwarves with oriental dragons - ymmv.) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 08:49, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

== No link to World Generation? ==

Home page needs a link to World Generation. I thought of adding it, but didn't want to upset the delicate symmetry happing in the menus. Thoughts as to where it could go? [[Special:Contributions/118.208.7.232|118.208.7.232]] 04:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

== Namespaces ==

As the subject has been mentioned on the forum:
some articles have been moved to a new 40d namespace. This is intended to make way for the "main" namespace to be reserved for the "current version", which ''real soon now'' will be DF2010.
For the full discussion see [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Versions]] and the talk page.
[[User:GarrieIrons|Gar]][[User Talk:GarrieIrons|rie]] 10:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Then bloody well move them. These blank 40d pages are making finding information that is supposed to be there very hard to find.

:Agreed..Plus I dont understand the site announcements so i pretty much can't contribute to the wiki right now. Hope you got a stable team to help and are done with it soon. Oh, and a better explanation would be great of course. --[[Special:Contributions/92.202.120.234|92.202.120.234]] 00:10, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::When is the moving of things to the main namespace going to be complete? Having everything in DF2010 namespace is horribly annoying, and the 40d namespace screws up searches and makes it harder to find stuff via google searches and such. How long is it going to take to get the wiki fixed to the current version, delete all the old d40 stuff, and get rid of the namespaces? --[[User:Aquillion|Aquillion]] 03:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

== Tutorials clutter ==

Currently we have in the first box:
*About Dwarf Fortress
*'''Tutorials and guides'''
*'''Quickstart guide (recent)'''
*'''Frequently Asked Questions'''
*'''Your first fortress'''
*'''Video tutorials'''
*'''Important advice'''
*'''Indecisive's Illustrated Tutorial'''
*'''Get help from online chat'''
*Game development
*'''Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock'''
*'''Starting builds'''

Bolded are the ones I think are redundant. Basically, we have the following categories of stuff:
*Tutorials for newbies: Step by step instructions where you follow what the guide says, without necessarily understanding why right away.
*Guides for newbies: General explanations of game concepts, such as z-level, how to set labors, how to farm, how to work the interface and install a graphical tileset, what the aim of the game is, etc.
*Guides for advanced players: These assume you know how to play the game, and are concerned with optimizing/pushing strategy. Embark build discussions which go beyond explaining the bare minimums you should take (such as "don't embark without a pick!", intended for newbies who may not know what they are doing), megaprojects, combat mechanics, computing, farming strategies, defense strategies, design strategies, macros, world generation parameter discussion and the like.
*FAQ, bugs and troubleshooting: The index of known problems and what to do about them, for when you have a clear question you want to figure out. This includes the FAQ, IRC channels and bugs to watch out for.
That makes 4 categories. Currently, we have 10 categories dealing with the same things. Moreover, the current break down makes no sense, and is obviously not maintained (I think that quickstart guide has been "recent" since early last summer). It's becoming confusing for the clueless first time player who was just linked to Bay12 and the wiki on a forum, and left to fend for itself. In fact, ideally, the tutorials and newbie guides should also be sorted from short to long, with datestamps.

I would rearrange the box myself, but I thought I'd ask what everyone else is thinking first. By the way, are there any tutorials for DF2010, or plans to write any? --[[User:Ar-Pharazon|Ar-Pharazon]] 02:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::By the way, my proposal is to have the box look like this:
::'''Help with Dwarf Fortress'''
::*About Dwarf Fortress
::*How to set up and play Dwarf Fortress (Tutorials)
::*General game information (explanation of basics)
::*Advanced strategies (for experienced players)
::*Troubleshooting: FAQ, where to ask for help, known bugs and issues
::*Game development

== New modding guide ==
I'm not really sure what the process is for new guides and tutorials. I figured it would be of general community interest, so I'm posting this here; [[User:Tfaal/The Complete Dorf's Guide to Bodies]] --[[User:Tfaal|Tfaal]] 16:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

==Bug listings on the Wiki==
Given that the version number is expected to be changing quite rapidly in the near future as bugs are caught and killed, I think it's a good idea to always keep a version number associated with any bug reports we migrate into the wiki pages. This will hopefully minimize confusion as updates gradually remove these. If we could get one of those mini-version tags to use for this purpose or if someone can explain to me how to use that half-sized font for this purpose that would be helpful. Thanks.

== What happened to the link to the dev changelog? ==

There used to be a link to the changelog and a link to the 31_01 release information, but now there's just a link to the release information labeled "changelog." Also the main page appears to use a funny template or something so the link's messed up throughout all of the mainpage history.

v0.31:Symptoms

2010-04-05T17:45:42Z

Untelligent: False, helmet snakes cause the bleeding effect in their syndrome.

{{av}}
A '''Symptom''' is an status effect most often caused by contracting a {{L|Syndrome}}. They range from mild temporary annoyances to lifelong disabilities to even death if untreated. An affected dorf will need to be diagnosed at a {{L|Hospital}} before a treatment can be prescribed.

==List of Known Symptoms==

===Blisters===
'''Effects''': Areas effected become prone to infection, this becomes more and more likely as severity goes up. While harmless in itself, a resulting infection might cause a loss of life or limb if not properly dealt with.

===Bleeding===
'''Effects''': Areas effected will continue to bleed for the duration of the effect and will not taper off like a normal wound. In effect it suggests that whatever caused the wound had an anti-coagulant in the venom. This will quickly cause an effected creature to bleed out if the syndrome is not immediately treated.

===Bruising===
'''Effects''': Causes pain long after the blunt trauma that caused it is over. Even the most severe bruises will heal without intervention, but may hint at fractures under the skin.

===Cough===
'''Effects''': Dwarf will stop and cough occasionally. While nearly harmless by itself severe coughs will sometimes bring up blood. In this case it's a sign of internal hemorrhaging.

===Dizziness===
'''Effects''': Creature might stumble/fall in a random direction when attempting to perform an action (including moving [!!!]). The more severe the dizziness the more likely this is to happen. Beware that stumbling, much like dodging, might end up putting a dwarf in a moat or chasm.

===Drowsiness===
'''Effects''': Creature tires faster than normal and requires more sleep. This can be almost unnoticeable if the severity is low, but results in narcoleptic fits if high.

===Fever===
'''Effects''': Appears to reduce the ability to focus. Intense fevers can also cause stunning. While a fever in itself seems relatively harmless, it's often just the most visible symptom. Feverish dwarfs blink with a red "X".

===Impaired Function===
'''Effects''': Creature will be unable to use effected body parts for the duration. Much of the functionality here is mirrored in swelling, but this allows certain parts (such as organs) that normally can't swell to still cease functioning

'''Note''': No vanilla syndrome currently causes impaired function

===Nausea===
'''Effects''': Creature will stop and {{L|Vomit}}. How often this happens depends on severity. Sustained and intense vomiting will causing dwarfs to dehydrate.

===Numbness===
'''Effects''': Creature will not be able to feel affected body parts. This makes pain a non-issue, but also hampers their use (I.E. Something with numb hands will find using weapons difficult. something who has a leg that's fallen asleep with have difficulty standing

'''Note''': No vanilla syndrome currently causes numbness

===Necrosis===
'''Effects''': A medical emergency. If action isn't quickly taken to remove the tissue (through either surgery or amputation) it will spread throughout the body and kill the creature. Also commonly seen in {{L|Undead}} creatures.

===Oozing===
'''Effects''': A sign of infection. Infected areas heal much slower and might kill if especially severe or widespread.

===Pain===
'''Effects''': Subject might give into pain and fall unconscious depending on toughness. The more severe the pain the more likely this can happen, and the more often. This can be very dangerous if the dwarf is in combat.

===Paralysis===
'''Effects''': The creature can't move. Severity only decreases the chance of resisting the symptom.

===Swelling===
'''Effects''': Impedes the ability to use affected areas. Normally fairly harmless but can cause death by suffocation if it effects the throat.

===Unconsciousness===
'''Effects''': Effected creature will pass out for the duration of this effect, even if the creature isn't in pain or extremely tired.

'''Note''': No vanilla syndrome currently causes unconsciousness directly

===Vomiting Blood===
'''Effects''': Much as excessive vomiting can lead to death from dehydration, vomiting blood can lead to death from blood loss. Considered to be a separate condition from coughing blood. If your creature happens to have green blood you'll be unable to tell this from nausea without checking the tiles.

'''Note''': No vanilla syndrome currently causes creatures to vomit blood

Untelligent:

Are ''all'' these tokens verified? There was a reason I was adding them independently. I know for a fact that this is an incomplete list, which throws the entire list into suspicion for me, because it looks very much ripped from the 40d page with some minor edits. Many of these tokens may function differently from the previous version. For now, I motion that this edit be undone.

I'm going to cross-reference it with the string dump and seperate it into creature-level tokens and caste-level tokens. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 14:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Added a bunch of stuff from the string dump. Left out some HFS-related stuff that doesn't show up in the normal raws for now. A lot of stuff still needs to be verified, and some of the tokens might not be used yet, but at least it's more complete now. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 16:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Untelligent: String dump suggests SYN_IMMUNE_CLASS and STRING_AFFECTED_CREATURE also work.

{{av}}
A '''syndrome''' is a disease or effect that a poor hapless creature might get through encountering certain creatures, extracts or vindictive modders. They generally cause unpleasant and frequently fatal {{L|symptoms}} over a short to long period of time, but some will clear up over time or with the assistance of a {{L|doctor}}. A {{L|Hospital}} is required to diagnose and potentially treat the syndrome. [[File:Snakebite.png|200px|thumb|right|An example of a syndrome in effect. This hippo did not ultimately survive the encounter despite one bite being the only injury sustained.]]

1. [[Titan]]s have a chance to have a randomized syndrome. These range from pointless (mild blisters from inhaling boiling blood) to instantly deadly (Severe necrosis from a contact poison attached to a breath weapon/titan made of blood.

==The anatomy of a syndrome==
Mechanically, syndromes are bundles of tokens attatched to a material - they're confined to creature materials in vanilla DF, but it's a simple matter to add them to inorganic materials. When the material is injected, touched or inhaled (depending on the syndrome), the creature suffers the predations of a nasty disease or poison. Here's an example syndrome, taken from the Giant Cave Spider raws.

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:POISON:CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:frozen giant cave spider venom]
[STATE_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen giant cave spider venom]
[STATE_NAME:LIQUID:giant cave spider venom]
[STATE_ADJ:LIQUID:giant cave spider venom]
[STATE_NAME:GAS:boiling giant cave spider venom]
[STATE_ADJ:GAS:boiling giant cave spider venom]
[PREFIX:NONE]
[ENTERS_BLOOD]
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:giant cave spider bite]
[SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]
[SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:SPIDER_CAVE:ALL]
[SYN_INJECTED]
[CE_PARALYSIS:SEV:100:PROB:100:RESISTABLE:SIZE_DILUTES:START:5:PEAK:10:END:20]

The first line, USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE, is creating a new material, called POISON, using the CREATURE_EXTRACT_TEMPLATE as the basis. After this, the STATE_NAME and STATE_ADJ tokens are used to define the names and adjectives assigned to different states of the material - GAS, LIQUID and ALL_SOLID, in this case, though ALL is also a valid token. At this stage, you can use any material tags like MAT_FIXED_TEMP or similar to set further material properties, though this usually isn't necessary.

The purpose of ENTERS_BLOOD is currently unclear pending further testing, but is assumed to represent the contagion entering the bloodstream and circulating around the body.

SYNDROME
This tag ends the material details and begins the definition of the actual syndrome.
SYN_NAME
This one is self-explanatory - the name of the syndrome as it will appear in-game.
SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS
This token defines what CREATURE_CLASS will be affected by the syndrome. Most creatures are classed under GENERAL_POISON. Multiple tokens can be used in a single syndrome.
SYN_IMMUNE_CLASS
As above, but makes class immune.
SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE
This token defines which creatures CANNOT be affected by the syndrome - useful for addressing specific instances within a population, such as a specific caste or an individual creature that falls under GENERAL_POISON. Syntax is [SYN_IMMUNE_CREATURE:creature:caste]. ALL can be used for the caste.
SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE
As above, but makes creature or caste susceptible.

SYN_INJECTED, SYN_CONTACT, SYN_INHALED
This token determines the method of infection - injected syndromes must be injected via a creature attack, while contact syndromes result from any contamination of a creature by material splatter (such as blood) and inhaled syndromes must be inhaled in gaseous form, such as from boiling or a creature breath attack. Any combination of these tags can be used. A fun variation on the usual creature injection routine is to create a material with a SYN_CONTACT syndrome and have a creature use it for blood - this tends to end poorly for any predator that chooses to attack them.

CE_X, or creature effect tokens, are the real meat and bones of your syndrome. They're detailed below.

==Creature effect tokens==
Each and every syndrome has a number of creature effect tokens, represented by CE_X - these lovely little beauties determine exactly how the poor creature suffering from the syndrome is affected. An example CE token is as follows:

[CE_NECROSIS:SEV:100:PROB:100:LOCALIZED:VASCULAR_ONLY:RESISTABLE:START:50:PEAK:1000:END:2000]

In this example, we have an effect that will always cause severe necrosis in whichever bodypart it touches, so long as that bodypart is vascular and that the creature is not able to resist it in some manner. The effect begins shortly after the syndrome is contracted, peaks 1000 time units afterwards, and finally ceases another 1000 time units later.

As a general rule of thumb, so long as CE_X starts the string and START/PEAK/END end it, the order of the intervening tokens isn't important.

CE_X
The effect type. This can be a number of different tokens, as detailed in the table below this list.
SEV:X
The severity of the effect. Higher values appear to be worse, with SEV:1000 CE_NECROSIS causing a part to near-instantly become rotten.
PROB:X
The probability of the effect actually manifesting in the victim, as a percentage. 100 means always, 1 means a 1 in 100 chance.
LOCALIZED (Optional if the BP:BY_CATEGORY/BY_TYPE token is present)
This tag causes the effect to be restricted to the limb that came into contact with the contagion - ie. the part that was bitten by the creature injecting the syndrome material, or the one that was splattered by a contact contagion. It's unclear how this tag functions in syndromes contracted by inhalation.
BP:BY_CATEGORY/BY_TYPE:BODYPART:TISSUE (Optional if the LOCALIZED token is present)
Specifies a target or range of targets for the effect to manifest in. For example, if you wanted to target the lungs of a creature, you would use BP:BY_CATEGORY:LUNG:ALL. The syndrome would act on all bodyparts within the creature with the CATEGORY tag LUNG and affect all tissue layers. For another example, say you wanted to cause the skin to rot off a creature - you could use BP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:SKIN, targetting the SKIN tissue on all bodyparts. This is one of the most powerful and useful aspects of the syndrome system, as it allows you to selectively target bodyparts relevant to the contagion, like lungs for coal dust inhalation, or the eyes for exposure to an acid gas.
VASCULAR_ONLY (Optional)
This syndrome only affects tissue layers with the VASCULAR token.
MUSCULAR_ONLY (Optional)
This syndrome only affects tissue layers with the MUSCULAR token. Are you seeing a trend here?
SIZE_DILUTES (Optional)
This token presumably causes the effects of the syndrome to scale with the size of the creature compared to the size of the dose of contagion they recieved, but has yet to be extensively tested.
SIZE_DELAYS (Optional)
As above, this token has yet to be tested by presumably delays the onset of a syndrome according to the size of the victim.

The details of this table are still being thrashed out by modders, so if you have anything to add, please don't hesitate to hit the edit button!
{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#ddd"
! | Token
! | Description
|-
| CE_FEVER
| Causes the Fever condition.
|-
| CE_NAUSEA
| Causes the Nausea condition, and heavy vomitting.
|-
| CE_DIZZINESS
| Inflicts the Dizziness condition, occasional fainting and a general slowdown in movement and work speed.
|-
| CE_SWELLING
| Causes the targetted bodypart to swell up.
|-
| CE_OOZING
| Causes pus to ooze from the afflicted bodypart.
|-
| CE_BRUISING
| Causes the targetted bodypart to undergo bruising.
|-
| CE_BLEEDING
| Causes the targetted bodypart to start bleeding, with heavy enough bleeding resulting in the death of the sufferer.
|-
| CE_NECROSIS
| Causes the targetted bodypart to rot, with associated tissue damage and miasma. Badly necrotic limbs will require amputation and heavy rot will eventually result in bleeding. Necrosis has some strange behavior involving bleeding to death that isn't fully understood; a 100% necrotic creature can survive fine with no non-yellow bodyparts but will die of bleeding as soon as they end a round of combat, even if they never take a hit.
|-
| CE_DROWSINESS
| Causes the Drowsiness condition.
|-
| CE_PAIN
| Afflicts the targetted bodypart with intense pain.
|-
| CE_BLISTERS
| Covers the targetted bodypart with blisters.
|-
| CE_COUGH_BLOOD
| This effect results in the sufferer periodically coughing blood, which stains the tile they're on and requires cleanup. It doesn't appear to be lethal, but may cause minor bleeding damage.
|-
| CE_IMPAIR_FUNCTION
| An organ afflicted with this CE is rendered inoperable - for example, if both lungs are impaired the creature can't breathe and will suffocate. This token only affects organs, not limbs.
|}

==Inorganic syndromes and you!==
It's perfectly possible - and quite simple - to add a nasty syndrome to a type of rock or metal - you simply add the syndrome tokens to the material definition in the same manner that you would add them to a creature material definition. The only catch is that since your hapless dwarves will only normally encounter the material in metal, gem or boulder form, a bit of creativity must be used to actually get them inside your citizens - that is, you need to make them 'explosively boil' as soon as they're mined or produced. This has the sad side effect of destroying the actual item - sorry, no highly radioactive uranium this release.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to assign the material a low boiling point, usually just under room temperature, and make sure its temperature is fixed to a point above it.
[MAT_FIXED_TEMP:9001]
[BOILING POINT:9000]
Now, as soon as this substance hits the open air - by being mined, smelted or reaction-produced at a custom workshop - it will EXPLOSIVELY BOIL, flooding a small area with delicious syndrome-rich gas. Creatures who inhale the gas will be immediately hit with the syndrome you thoughtfully attatched to the material definition earlier!

There are a number of other tokens you can use to control the colour and naming conventions of your syndrome material, referred to as MATERIAL tokens.

Density is a material property that effects the weight of an object made from the material.

In combat, Density affects blunt-force damage. Additionally, an edged weapon or attacking part with a low density will have difficulty piercing tissue layers.

Impact and Shear Elasticity are values associated with the material raws in versions df_31_01 and later. They affect combat, primarily what happens when something is struck.

==Impact Elasticity==

[IMPACT_ELASTICITY:n]

A very low elasticity will cause the object to shatter when struck, even when struck by an edged weapon.

v0.31:Release information

2010-04-02T14:34:23Z

Untelligent: Changed "impact shear yield" and similar to "impact/shear yield"

The new version, '''DF 0.31.01''', has been released for general download - and, no, this is not an April Fool's joke.
:See here: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/index.html

{{AV}}
This page lists the changes in the current [[version]] of [[Dwarf]] [[Fort]]ress. The page links to currently existing pages which either have been or will need to be modified to list new details from the new [[version]]. It also lists to pages about entirely new subjects introduced in this [[version]], such as [http://new.df.magmawiki.com/wagn/Burrows burrows], articles created or completely changed based off of this version are marked in '''bold'''.

Adapted from the [http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AT8EQVUjrv96ZGc5cnBwOHZfMjgyY3FzZHFtanA&hl=en&pli=1 google docs file] by SirPenguin about the upcoming release.

== Behind the scenes ==

=== Materials ===
* The {{l|material}} system has been rewritten, and just about everything is made from a material now.
* It is now possible to track the identity of certain materials, such as {{l|blood}} spatter.
* The {{l|color}} of a base {{l|material}} will now have more effects - a [[wagon]] made out of featherwood will reflect the {{l|color}} of the wood.
* Material breath [[weapons]] are possible, and can be made of any material. These are mainly linked with poisons, and when inhaled by a creature, they will become poisoned.
* Small amounts of certain {{l|materials}} ({{l|blood}}, snow, etc.) can accumulate in a tile.
** For example, if enough liquid [[gold]] accumulates in a tile, it will cool into a [[glob]] of [[gold]].
** This also works for {{l|materials}} such as liquid (molten) {{l|metal}}, which will cool into a [[glob]] which can then be used to [[melt]] down into a bar.
* {{l|Weapons}} and {{l|armor}} now use various "real world" {{l|attributes}} to calculate their effectiveness. Each {{l|material}} (rock, {{l|metal]]) uses the following:
** '''{{l|Density}}'''
** '''{{l|Impact/shear yield}}'''
** '''{{l|Impact/shear fracture}}'''
** '''{{l|Impact/shear elasticity}}'''
** '''{{l|Edge}}'''

=== {{l|Raws}} ===
* Entity positions are now stored in the raw folders, allowing for custom positions through modding, as well as editing existing positions as you see fit.
** These include the [[Nobles (DF2010)|new military positions]] (General/Lieutenant/Captain/Militia Commander/Militia Captain).
* {{l|Attributes}} have also moved into the {{l|raws}}, allowing you set all sorts of values such as how fast an attribute increases.
* Many objects - trees, plants, {{l|stone}}s, etc. - now have {{l|material}} lists in the {{l|raws}}.
** Some {{l|raws}} have been merged, such as trees/plants, and {{l|stone}}s/{{l|metal}}s.
* A {{l|region}}'s raw files are now stored in their respective {{l|save}} folder.

=== The d# series [Not implimented in first release]===
* Translucent [[tilesets]] are supported, using PNG.
* The DF window can be resized on the fly.
* The grid size is autogenerated on startup; such [[init.txt|init.txt settings]] are ignored.
* Current desktop size is used for fullscreen size if fullscreen resolution is set to 0x0.
* The DF window can be zoomed on the fly using the mouse wheel. There are two modes, it defaults to mode 1. Pressing mouse wheel switches modes. Pressing F12 resets mode 1, not 2. In mode 1, the zoom from mode 2 is not visible. (And yes, you can use both at once.)
* The keyboard input system has been totally rewritten:
** You can bind multiple [[keys]] to one command.
** You can create keyboard [[macros]].
** Input bindings are divided into sections.
* Lots of bugfixes and performance improvements.

=== Arenas ===
* Arenas allow the player to set up battles with any kind of creatures with any type of equipment and have them face off.
* The Arena is accessed via a special mode that has to be turned on in the init file.
* You can make as many [[creatures]] of any type a you want, equip them with any [[items]] you want, etc.
** [[Items]] can be made out of any of the current logical [[materials]]
* You can also assign them to teams or have them go at it solo
* The [[arena]] itself contains a flat fighting place as well as a pool of [[magma]] or [[water]]
* You can also edit the layout of the arena by adding or removing water and magma and so on.

== [[Combat]] ==

=== [[Squads]] ===
* The [[fortress guard]] is considered a squad under the [[sheriff]], and the [[royal guard]] is considered a squad under the [[Hammerer]].
* '''[[Nobles (DF2010)|Captains]]''' can be appointed under your '''[[Nobles (DF2010)|General]]''' and lead [[squads]].
* There is a system in place that will try its best to keep your schedules staffed, going so far as finding replacements when [[soldier]]s get hungry/tired, as well as forcing [[soldier]]s to stay on duty if no replacements are found.
* You have complete control over how [[squads]] handle rations - [[food]] and [[drink]] stored in backpacks and flasks - and [[alcohol]] can now be stored as a [[drink]] option.
* [[Champions#Heroes_and_Champions|Champions]] as heavily trained soldiers are no more. Rather, a single '''[[Nobles (DF2010)|Champion]]''' is an appointed position that your [[duke]]/[[count]]/[[baron]] appoints.
* "Lord" [[soldier]]s aren't restricted in their weapon choice, and can be made into [[civilian]]s again.
* Beds, racks, stands, boxes/chests and [[cabinets]] can now be assigned to squad positions.
* You can now use the [[note]] making system to lay out stations and patrol routes for your [[squads]].
* [[Sparring]] has been redone.
* A [[dwarf]] skilled in one [[skill]] can teach students via demonstrations of how to fight. This is set up in a classroom environment, so no actual [[sparring]] takes place (less dangerous).
** Even slightly skilled [[dwarves]] can teach people below them.
** There are also instructor monitored drill and [[sparring]] sessions.
** "They can currently teach weapon [[skill]]s, [[wrestling]], dodging, punching (grasp strikes), kicking (stance strikes), shield and [[armor]] use, yeah. They can also teach general close-quarters/ranged [[combat]] principles."
* [[Personalities]] play a role in these lessons. Naturally lazy [[dwarves]] will have a harder time learning and concentrating, though they can overcome them with [[skill]]/attribute increases.
** An instructor's [[personality]] is also taken into account, as a naturally reckless instructor is more willing to send green recruits into [[sparring]] sessions.
* Squad selection/[[orders]] now can occur in real time.
* The [[military]] menu has been entirely redone.
* You can issue [[orders]] to several [[squads]] at once or several individuals across different [[squads]].
* Kill [[orders]] are now possible. You can select any creature your [[fort]] does not control to be killed.
* You can give [[squads]] nicknames if you wish.
** You can also give your [[barracks]] nicknames to help keep them separated.

=== Squad [[Equipment]] ===
* There is now a position called the '''[[Nobles (DF2010)|Arsenal Dwarf]]''' who handles various [[equipment]] delegation.
* You can now establish "'''[[uniforms]]'''" for your [[soldier]]s. With it, you can assign specific [[armor]], [[weapons]], and other such [[equipment]] that you want all [[soldier]]s in a squad to wear.
** This allows for you to establish either [[equipment]] protocols (I want this squad to carry a [[sword]] and a shield) or literal uniforms, such as all guards wearing dyed blue cloaks.
* [[Soldier]]s know the difference between [[training]], battle, and [[civilian]] [[equipment]], and when/how to switch between them, as well as how to store them, which is usually done in [[barracks]] via boxes (which can be assigned to [[squads]]).
** The above also extends to [[Wood cutter|woodcutters]]/[[Miner|miners]], who know how to properly retrieve/store their picks and axes.
** [[Equipment]] can be stored in squad boxes.
* You can now handle [[ammo]] allocation by [[material]], so you can set aside [[metal]] [[bolts]] for battle and wooden [[bolts]] for [[training]]. [[Squads]] will maintain such [[ammo]] counts on their own.
** You can also handle [[ammo]] by type, so that you can have a squad that only uses [[bolts]]/arrows left over by invaders, etc.
** You have similar control over [[Hunter]] [[ammo]].
* [[Training]] [[weapons]] are in now, made at the carpenter's shop. Due to the nature of the [[material]] rewrite, these [[weapons]] lack edges, making them far less dangerous.
* [[Dwarves]] can handle any weapon now (they are not restricted to the current 6 [[weapons]]).
** [[Blowdart]] [[squads]] confirmed.
* [[Critter]]s now become familiar/accustomed to [[items]] they use often, such as [[armor]] and [[weapons]]. Being familiar with an item gives them better rolls during [[combat]].
** They can also become attached to [[items]] and will refuse upgrades.
* [[Items]] keep track of [[creatures]] they kill now, and that will show up in the [[legends mode]].
* [[Items]] can become "named" - raised to a semi-[[artifact]] level - if they have seen a lot of battles or have killed someone of a historical figure era-level of importance.
* [[Dwarves]] will now fill up their [[Quiver|quivers]] properly - they will not go into [[combat]] with 1 bolt in their [[quiver]] if they can help it.
* You can assign specific [[items]] to units (useful for cases such as [[artifact]]s).
* [[Dwarves]] assigned to [[squads]] will go train in their free time if they have self-discipline. This includes individual drilling practice.
* 1/3 of [[dwarves]] have a "favored" weapon.

=== [[Weapons]] and [[Armor]] ===
[[Image:DF2010_1.png|thumb|400px|The new [[combat report]]s. [[Note]] the date, ability to zoom on location, and more flavorful descriptions.]]
* All [[weapons]] now have multiple '''[[attack types]]''' (a [[sword]] can use a thrusting attack, or with the blade itself, or even the pommel) and each attack can do a different type of [[damage]].
* [[Armor]] [[skill]] and quality of the [[armor]] increases your "deflection" roll, which alters the effective force of an attack.
* [[Weapons]] don't use hard-coded percentage [[damage]] anymore, but rather, use their [[material]]'s various properties in order to determine [[damage]].
* The swing velocity of a [[hammer]] is determined by the strength and weight of the [[hammer]] itself, among other things.
* Woven/Chain [[items]] have a "structural elasticity" property (compared to [[plate]]/scale).

=== Attacks ===
* [[Combat]] has been entirely rebalanced due to the new [[material]] and body changes.
* Small [[creatures]] are now able to take on larger [[creatures]] by pecking away at their bodies, something which was impossible in the old [[version]].
** Thanks to the [[material]] rewrite, though, a well [[armor]]ed knight will fare without many problems against 20 groundhogs.
** Multiple small attacks will have a cumulative effect.
* "I had a [[dragon]] fight some lions, and after a little bit of dragonfire and close [[combat]], I ended up with a [[dragon]] covered with the grammatically-in-progress "lion [[melted]] [[fat]] spatter"."
* Attacks take into account the position and relative nature of the body. Attacks won't "loopity-loop" through the body.
* Temperature transfer between wrestlers is now possible, so think twice before [[wrestling]] that [[spirit of fire]].
** Stuck-ins also transfer temperature.
* Ranged damage has been nerfed, in addition to [[bolts]] making "logical" paths now. The firing rate remains the same.
* There's now a notion of a "squared shot", in that your attack could hit someone's arm full force, but if you didn't hit in in the right area, the [[bone]] would not break. This helps many problems, such as with [[bolts]], as well as axes/[[sword]]s not lopping everything off every time you swing.
* Twisting your weapon in a [[wound]] has been balanced, and won't just amplify [[damage]] forever.
* [[Toady]] on the path of the force of an attack: "The [[armor]] is all checked in order from outer to inner, then it gets at the tissue [[layer]]s, altering the character of the attack as it goes."
* Attacks can pass through a [[wound]] sufficiently large enough.
* Force from blunt [[weapons]] can transcend [[layer]]s. For instance, a [[hammer]] can bruise the [[skin]] while breaking the [[bone]] underneath.
** As such, [[plate]] [[armor]]'s benefits are generally ignored by blunt attacks, and [[leather]] [[armor]] would prove to be more effective.
* "Solid breath can take the form of a forward moving dust puff that accidentally knocks people out due to some [[cave-in]] code. When I fix that, KOs make or may not be a parameter. Solid breath can also take the form of a solid [[glob]] (a small one right now) that is hurled like a [[stone]]. It might as well be a thrown [[stone]] of the solid. Solid breath can also be an undirected dust puff (also accidental knockouts)."

== [[Creatures]] (general) ==

=== [[Attributes]]/[[Skill]]s ===
* The attribute system has received an overhaul. There are now 19 [[attributes]] split across physical and mental. They are:
** Body:
*** '''[[strength]]'''
*** '''[[agility]]'''
*** '''[[toughness]]'''
*** '''[[endurance]]''' - this'll take some of the weight off of [[toughness]] and control your exertion.
*** '''[[recuperation]]''' - somebody suggested "resilience". i don't really like any of the names... in any case, this will control the [[healing]] of your physical [[wound]]s.
*** '''[[disease resistance]]''' - the more time i spend on infection and venom, the more this will matter for this release. there will also likely be a notion of specific immunities, some of which you could gain with exposure or whatever ends up making the most sense.
** '''[[soul]]''':
*** '''[[analytical ability]]''' - thinky stuff.
*** '''[[memory]]''' - remembery stuff.
*** '''[[creativity]]''' - being able to make up neat stuff.
*** '''[[intuition]]''' - being able to get stuff.
*** '''[[focus]]''' - being able to get into stuff.
*** '''[[willpower]]''' - being able to keep on with and cope with stuff.
*** '''[[patience]]''' - being able to handle not doing stuff.
*** '''[[spatial sense]]''' - sense of surrounding stuff.
*** '''[[kinesthetic sense]]''' - sense of own stuff.
*** '''[[linguistic ability]]''' - all of the wordsy stuff.
*** '''[[musicality]]''' - musicky stuff.
*** '''[[empathy]]''' - being able to feel other peoples' stuff.
*** '''[[social awareness]]''' - being able to manage and handle social stuff.

* [[Creatures]] now have '''[[souls]]''', and these souls serve as storage for a creature's mental [[attributes]] and [[skill]]s.
** [[Creatures]] can have multiple souls, though there is no such use in the current [[version]].
* [[Attributes]] and [[skill]]s can now "'''[[Skill rust|rust]]'''" if the attribute/[[skill]] is unused for a long period of time. The more rust the [[skill]] or attribute has, the less effective it is, and high enough rust will actually "delevel" the ability. Rust can be worked off by simply using the attribute or [[skill]] in question.
* Attribute/[[skill]] display system has been redone so as to not overwhelm the player.
** [[Skill]]s have been split up into '''[[Skill groups|15 logical groups]]''' to make assigning [[skill]]s easier.
* [[Creatures]] now have a "'''[[situational awareness]]'''" [[skill]], which handles a [[creatures]] ability to deal with surprise attacks and ambushes.
* The [[wrestling]] has been split into the following [[skill]]s:
** '''[[Wrestling]]'''
** '''[[Dodging]]'''
** '''[[Grasp strikes]]'''
** '''[[Stance strikes]]'''
* There are also general '''[[melee attack|melee]]''' and '''[[range attack]]''' [[skill]]s (which help with [[combat]] rolls but are separate from "axe mastery", etc.)
* [[Attributes]] and rust rates are linked to specific castes, so you could have brutes intermixed with brainy [[creatures]] of a single race.
* "Ceilings of [[attributes]] are a percentage of the starting value. So a strength 1000 [[dwarf]] might attain 2000, and a strength 750 [[dwarf]] might attain 1500."

=== Appearances ===
[[Image:DF2010_2.png|thumb|400px|The new description window]]
* [[Creatures]] are now unique to each other with different appearances, including hair [[color]], facial features, etc.
** These are visible in [[adventurer]] mode as well.
** Different [[color]] patterns are also available, like striped or mottled.
* [[Creatures]] can also be fatter/taller/etc. than usual. This affects their [[size]]. Fatter [[creatures]] can last without [[food]] longer.
** [[Creatures]] have a '''[[metabolism]]''' now, which deals with how fast they heal and how fast they burn [[fat]].
** [[Fat]] [[creatures]] also move slower.
* The trimming of hair/nails is also possible for civilized [[creatures]], and they will grow long and unkempt without such activities.
* [[Creatures]] '''[[genetics|inherit appearances from their parents]]'''. This includes dominant/recessive genes.
** As one example, you can use this system to breed your dogs to a certain [[color]]/[[size]].
* [[Layer]] trimming/caring uses style definitions from a culture. Some cultures may grow beards, others may shave them. Prisoners, etc. may be forced to adapt these new styles.
* Speaking of beards, as if it wasn't obvious by now, but this means [[dwarves]] finally have beards!
** On a more startling note - so do [[elves]]!
* [[Creatures]] can now be part of a '''[[caste]]''', and this may govern many things, such as their profession, appearance, etc.

=== Bodies ===
* Tissues now come in [[layer]]s. You must bypass a [[layer]] to reach one below it. Some [[layer]]s are dependent on others (hair can only exist if there's [[skin]] underneath it, etc.)
* '''[[Hair]]''' acts as a [[layer]] on [[skin]]. It can come in many different styles (sparse, strands, etc.)
* '''[[Hair]]''' grows and eventually grays over time. It can be trimmed, and if left alone it will become shaggy and unkempt.
* Body parts and tissue [[layer]]s can be made out of any [[material]] you want, such as for logical [[creatures]] like [[Iron man|Iron Men]], and illogical abominations like [[Dwarf]] Lung Men.
* It's now possible for some [[creatures]] to be made out of solid [[material]], such as [[Iron man|Iron Men]], who are much harder to fight.
* You can also have hollow body parts, perhaps filled with air or other [[materials]].
* Some [[layer]]s can serve as protection, such as [[Chitin|chitin layer]]s. [[Bone|Bone layer]]s also protect organs, such as the [[skull]] protecting the brain.
* [[Creatures]] now have teeth, rib, cheeks, eyelids, nails, and lips. Teeth and ribs are not individualized, but rather are tracked by groups (i.e., top left molars, etc.)
* [[Creatures]] also now have tendons and ligaments, and are made from the "sinew" [[material]].
* [[Creatures]] store energy from their [[food]], getting [[fat]]ter and more muscular.
** [[Fat]] affects such things as insulation, speed, etc.
** Strength also increases muscle [[size]]. Both have an effect on a creature's total [[size]].
* Guts are realistically [[color]]ed - crazy stuff!
* It is now possible to "flay" a creature. Have fun!
* We've also got [[water]] freezing into frosty stuffs on people if they get [[wet]] and then step out into the cold, and [[steam]] coming off of spirits of fire in the rain.
* [[Skeletal]] [[critter]]s now have their [[bone]]s held together by rotted ligaments.

=== [[Thoughts]] ===
* "[[Thoughts]]" of a [[dwarf]] have been redone. The new screen includes their current [[thoughts]], age/birthday, physical description paragraph, a description of their [[attributes]], their likes/dislikes, and their mannerisms. Also included are descriptions for their [[wound]]s/scars.
* A [[dwarf]]'s birthday and age are stored in their [[profile]] now.
* [[Dwarves]] now have '''[[mannerisms]]''', such as "always scratches his head when he's trying to remember something", "laughs at his own jokes" or "talks to herself whenever she's bored". There are 65 types with 3-5 situation qualifiers.

== [[Fortress Mode]] ==

=== Organization ===
* '''[[Burrows]]'''! Burrows are areas in your [[fort]] where [[dwarves]] live and work in. You can assign these areas like [[zones]] and assign [[dwarves]] to them. [[Dwarves]] will only use [[workshops]], rooms, etc. in burrows they are assigned to.
* There are a significant number of ways to utilize burrows, from restricting certain [[mining]] expeditions to [[skill]]ed [[dwarves]], to making noble districts, to setting "emergency" [[zones]] for [[civilian]]s to flee to, etc.
* You can set [[soldier]]s so that they defend certain [[burrow]]s. If an enemy enters a [[burrow]] they know enough to stop what they're doing and head towards it to defend it.
* You may choose and appoint someone as your [[baron]] when you reach [[barony]] status. You can elect not to have one as well.
* There are now "code generated" positions, such as '''[[priests]]''' who are named after the [[god]] they worship (Priest of Ciramore, etc.)
* [[Dwarves]] won't immediately drop everything if they find themselves hungry or tired, and will try to finish their current [[job]] first.
* There's a difference between sleeping [[barracks]] (known as a Dormitory) and squad [[barracks]].
* Liaisons will be generated from scratch if they die.

=== [[Workshops]] ===
[[Image:DF2010_3.png|thumb|400px|[[Statues]] now have art associated with them.]]
[[Image:DF2010_4.png|thumb|400px|Some new [[crafts]] you can make.]]
* [[Statues]] and figurines now have art associated with them.
** "[[Statues]] of specific [[dwarves]] get the [[dwarf]]'s name right in the item name."
* Custom [[workshops]] are now able to be modded in, allowing you to set up custom [[reactions]].
** These can support [[corpse]] harvested [[items]], like shells/horns, and might use barrels/other [[containers]].
* You can now make [[crafts]] out of horn, ivory, teeth, and other new body parts.
** These include dragon tooth [[rings]] and ivory [[crown]]s.
* [[Butchery]] has been overhauled due to the new body part systems, with [[creatures]] yielding many more parts for consumption.
* It is now possible to have automated [[fishing]] [[cleaning]] and [[fat]] rendering.

=== Alerts and [[Announcements]] ===
* The alert statuses (i.e., "Stay Indoors") have been entirely redone. You may set several custom alerts with a user defined behaviour. For instance, you could set a "[[Underground]] Attack" alert where you force [[soldier]]s to equip melee [[weapons]] and head to a predefined location.
* These alerts can also be assigned to [[civilian]]s, such as telling them to flee to the great hall.
* [[Combat reports]] have been redone in hopes of consolidating sentences and making it more interesting to read
* Combat reports are separated into [[combat]], [[sparring]], and hunting reports. You'll see a notification on the side of the screen letting you know a [[combat report]] has been generated.
** They are also timestamped.
* You can choose different options for each announcement, like whether you want it to pause the game or recenter your view.

=== Trading ===
* Caravans can now bring sand and glass!
* Also flasks, waterskins, quivers and backpacks.

== [[Healthcare]] ==

=== Doctors, hospitals, and how to cure what ails you ===
[[Image:DF2010_5.png|thumb|400px|The new [[wound]] [[color]]ing system.]]
* '''[[Hospitals]]''' are used like [[zones]]. [[Items]] used within these [[zones]] (beds, tables, boxes) allow for hospital use.
** They also use a new item, called a '''[[traction bench]].'''
* '''[[Doctors]]''' can "prescribe" treatment, such as bed rest, using splints for broken [[bone]]s, amputation for infected limbs, and surgery.
** Doctors will set [[bone]]s for simple fractures, use traction for difficult overlapping fractures and use surgery for disgusting compound fractures. They also excise [[rotting]] tissue and amputate limbs too rotted off to save.
** The system where [[dwarves]] heal on the [[season]] change is gone.
* [[Wound]]s are dressed with '''[[bandages]]''', which speeds [[healing]] and slows bleeding.
** '''[[Sutures]]''' make [[wound]]s heal faster.
** Sutures can be ripped out in [[combat]], causing pain/bleeding.
* '''[[Crutches]]''' are now in the game, allowing one legged [[dwarves]]/injured people to walk normally (as opposed to crawl). They will move faster as they get comfortable with their new crutch.
** '''[[Casts]]''' are also in.
* [[Creatures]] can now clean the filth they acquire due to various [[materials]], like mud, [[blood]], [[vomit]], etc.
** As such, [[soap]] has a use now, which deserves its own bullet point.
* You can appoint a "'''[[Nobles (DF2010)|chief medical dwarf]]'''" to handle the various medical information, which requires the "'''[[Diagnosis]]'''" [[skill]].
** What type of various medical information? "unit [[wound]]s/status/required treatments/medical history, etc." - Think of it like the [[bookkeeper]].
* [[Dwarves]] are more proactive in saving [[wound]]ed people, and will do what they can in regards to bleeding on the way to the hospital.
* "Eyelids clean the eyes so you don't have to [[soap]] them off, but if an eyelid is torn off, I think they might [[soap]] the eyes."
* Patients can use [[soap]]/[[water]] to clean [[wound]]s and grime to reduce infections. Sutures, casts, etc. will reduce infection as well.
* All cloth and thread [[items]] have associated lengths/areas now. Threads are use for sutures (thus, one "thread" item could be used for multiple sutures) and cloth is used for bandages. [[Items]] in this way aren't split (a la coins or [[bolts]]), but rather, they're consumed in pieces.
* Unskilled or apprentice doctors can make mistakes when treating a patient or doing surgery.
* "[[Healthcare]]" as a [[skill]] is gone. It's been replaced by 7 new labor [[settings]], 5 unit types, and 6 new [[skill]]s.
** There are different type of doctors associated with the [[skill]]s.
** Dressing [[wound]]s, diagnosis, surgery, setting [[bone]]s, suturing and walking with crutches appear to be the new [[skill]]s.

=== [[Wound]]s and [[injuries]] ===
* The current 15HP-per-body-part system has been dropped in favor of individual [[wound]] tracking.
** The above also allows for scars.
* Open [[wound]]s can get simple infections, which results in oozing pus, slow [[healing]], and can even kill.
** [[Rotting]] [[wound]]s smell and contribute to infection levels, as does grime buildup.
* Tissue [[layer]]s can boil off when exposed to extreme heat.
* Phantom pains are gone.
* You can [[damage]] a creature's motor and sensitivity nerves. Motor [[damage]] prevents that part from working, and sensory nerve damage makes you lose feeling in that body part.
* Partial and compound fractures are now possible.
* Fractured [[bone]] can be knocked inwards to cause [[damage]] to organs, like forcing a jagged piece of [[skull]] into the brain. [[Bone]]s can also [[pierce]] [[layer]]s, like having [[bone]] sticking out of your [[skin]].
* Guts are under [[pressure]] and can pop out of a [[wound]].
* Injured [[creatures]] can continue to work if they are treated. A miner who breaks his left hand will go back to [[mining]] with his right hand (after his broken hand is set in a cast).
* "There are lots of [[wound]]s that won't heal now if they aren't treated (aside from the nerve stuff, the three kinds of bad breaks won't heal if not treated), and infected [[wound]]s heal very slowly."

=== Poisons ===
* Types of poison effects: pain, swelling, oozing [[wound]]s, bruising, blisters, numbness, paralysis, fever, bleeding, coughing/[[vomit]]ing [[blood]], nausea, [[vomit]]ing, unconsciousness, necrosis, impaired vision, drowsiness, and dizziness.
* Poisons can be contacted, injected, or inhaled.
* You can be immune to poisons; [[creatures]] seem immune to their own poisons.
* Severs transfer containment, so that a ripped off venom fang from a [[Giant Cave Spider]] will remain venomous. As of now you cannot use it as a [[weapon]].

== The Underground ==

[[Image:DF2010_6.png|thumb|400px|An example of the new caverns. Here you can see open areas and [[underground]] lakes, as well as passages linking them together]]

=== Underground Features ===
* Underground [[layer]]s have been entirely revamped, allowing for more diverse [[underground]] with new [[creatures]], features, and other interesting goodies, such as Mushroom Forests.
* The standard amount of [[layer]]s (around 15) has been scrapped and increased dramatically; upwards of 50-100 [[layer]]s.
* Each cave [[layer]] [[region]] (which is a certain depth and portion of the world map) has its own name, animal populations, [[civilizations]], etc.
** They also show up on the legends screen.
* '''[[Caverns]]''' now exist [[underground]]. Caverns are open areas underneath the earth, and are home to [[creatures]], [[underground]] lakes, and other interesting features.
* Features are much more easy to discover, and almost every site is guaranteed to have SOMETHING interesting in it.
** For instance, [[magma]] is almost always guaranteed to be at the very bottom [[layer]].
* Features can span multiple world tiles, and can be explored via adventure mode and [[dwarf]] [[fortress]] mode.
* You can use [[world gen]] parameters to get rid of [[underground]] features. The default [[settings]] are set for cavernous so you're guaranteed to find cool stuff.
* Features are not instantly revealed anymore. [[Underground]] areas must be explored by [[dwarves]] prior to revealing features.
** So yeah, the new system is to have a 60 or so tile [[flood]] out from your [[dwarves]] as they go [[underground]], and any time they get within 30 tiles of the 60 tile [[flood]] (flags are kept when the [[flood]] got out to 30, roughly), it'll [[flood]] out again, picking up those flags and placing new ones, so it moves out in a kind of chunky way.
** [[Squads]] can't take [[orders]] to walk into hidden [[zones]] (must reveal first).
* It's possible for an [[adventurer]] to enter a massive [[underground]] cavern on one side of the world and journey all the way to the other.
* Bottomless pits and chasms are gone for the time being, replaced by finite caverns.

=== [[Critter]]s (normal and animalman-y) ===
* Underground animalpeople can use crude [[weapons]] and mounts now.
** Batmen could ride giant bats and shoot poison darts at you with makeshift blowguns made from [[giant cave spider]] legs - whoa!
** Their goal is to cause as much havoc as they can before sneaking back home.
* Underground [[critter]]s are "drawn" from a large population that is off site. They will replenish their population so long as a cavern has an open "edge" allowing them to spawn in.
* The above, coupled with other changes, allows for the possibility of never-ending attacks.
* [[Antmen]] now have creature castes which separate them, including queens.
** There are also [[antmen]] nests to worry about.
* '''[[Gremlins]]''' are back. These sneaky dudes are invisible until spotted, and will step on [[pressure]] [[plate]]s, pull levers, and open cages.
* There are many new (toadyOne mentioned around 40) [[underground]] [[critter]]s.

=== [[Critter]]s (random beasts) ===
* Random [[critter]]s are now possible. They come in two flavors: "'''[[Titans]]'''", which are above ground and serve as megabeasts, and "'''[[Forgotten Beasts]]'''", who live [[underground]]
* Random [[creatures]] are just that - random. The can have unique attacks, like firebreath or poison, as well as a random number of body modifiers like legs, wings, etc.
** Some examples: a ribbon worm with wings made of stretched [[skin]]. An eyeless antenna lizard. A [[glob]] of [[vomit]] inside a round shell.
* They pull from certain base types (blob, quadruped, humanoid) as well as various animal/creature features.
** Dinosaur types (?!) are also now possible
*** They have feathers to boot
* These are seen as the ultimate challenge of the game

=== [[HFS]] ===
* The old [[HFS]] that we know of is gone, replaced by new baddies. The [[critter]]s of the [[HFS]] seemed to have survived the [[version]] change, however.
* [[Toady]] has spent countless days working on the new [[HFS]], and he's been silent on what it could entail.
* There is a lot of nasty stuff underneath, seemingly related to the old "end of the world" timers.
* It should be a bit different, a bit the same, and always a threat rather than a one-time problem.

== The World ==

=== [[Civilizations]] ===
* There is now the notion of a '''[[split leadership]]'''. Some leaders may prefer to be "traditional" rulers, hanging back in their cities while appointing generals to command their armies. Others may prefer to lead battles and wars themselves.
* [[Goblin]] society is more violent than ever. They respect those with power, and [[demons]] will be forced to kill for their loyalty. Other [[goblin]]s, however, can do the same.
** [[Goblin]]s obtain their structure over the course of world generation. For instance, [[demons]] are not hard-coded as leaders, and must earn their position.
* Forgotten beasts can escape from the [[underground]] and try and pass themselves off as [[god]]s, gaining worshipers and taking control of [[civilizations]].
* Leaders of [[civilizations]] can now own "pets" - and by that, I mean they can [[tame]] wild animals and use them in war. [[Giant eagle]]s, [[tiger]]s, everything is fair game.
** [[Elves]] have a great advantage here for obvious reasons, but [[dwarves]] will be able to make use of [[underground]] beasts.
* '''[[Priests]]''' are back.

=== [[World Generation]] ===
* "I've added the ability to specify in the [[world gen]] parameters the number of sky z-levels, the number of z-levels minimum between each [[layer]] (it'll often be more because of elevation changes), and the number of extra z-levels down at the bottom."
* Much of the map feature code was rewritten to be more flexible in future expansions and updates.

=== [[Megabeasts]] (general and [[Titans]]) ===
* [[Megabeasts]] aren't pushovers in worldgen anymore, and will survive longer and get more kills.
* [[Titans]] in good areas will be benign/neutral to [[creatures]].

== Bugs ==
* Dwarves raid elf (all?) caravans for cloth (maybe thread as well) for the hospital zone.
* When crafting shell crafts, craftsdwarves never actually produce a shell craft, but instead sit forever with the same shell, with their skills increasing.
* Dwarf with compound fracture and mangling on his toe's nail and skin never recovered, surgeons performed "surgery" on said dwarf for years but nothing ever healed.
* Dwarves who are assigned to squads seem to be permanently affixed to the soldier life - changing schedules, training options, switching out dwarves, disbanding the squad: nothing works. All they do is eat, drink, sleep, Individual Combat Drill and take Kill orders.
** I am unconfirming this. There is an amount of delayed reaction on forming and unforming squads but all (3 remaining) of my dwarves were able to get back to civilian activities after canceling the kill order of their squad. --[[User:Another|Another]] 10:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
*** How long? I have dorfs locked in soldier mode for several seasons now. [[User:AbuDhabi|AbuDhabi]] 11:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
*** Update: The problem seems to be fixable by deconstructing the barracks. [[User:AbuDhabi|AbuDhabi]] 11:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
* When wrestling, you can grasp other creatures by their individual teeth.
* When iron men and maybe Bronze Colossi die, the statues that make up their corpses adopt images of creatures (I.e: Statue of a dwarf 1) and events.

40d:Color

2009-06-28T17:56:19Z

Untelligent: /* Values 8-15 */

[[Color]] is used to express various information, from a dwarf's profession, over the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

You may be looking for [[Color schemes]], which contains color schemes different from DF's default.

== Modding color ==

Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

The following colors can be displayed:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"

| style="padding: 0.15em 0.4em; text-align: left" | Light red

| style="padding: 0.15em 0.4em; text-align: left" | White
|}
|}

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

There's also a one-argument form of the <code>COLOR</code> flag used to define the color of gems. In that case the argument is the foreground color, the background color is variable and the brightness of gems is always 1.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the final value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"
|-
| style="vertical-align: top; padding: 0" |
{| style="text-align: right; border-spacing: 0 1px; margin: 0 auto; background: black; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black"
|- style="background: #fff"

Untelligent:

[[Color]] is used to express various information, from a dwarf's profession, over the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

You may be looking for [[Color schemes]], which contains color schemes different from DF's default.

== Modding color ==

Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

The following colors can be displayed:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"

|}
|}

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

There's also a one-argument form of the <code>COLOR</code> flag used to define the color of gems. In that case the argument is the foreground color, the background color is variable and the brightness of gems is always 1.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"

40d:Color

Untelligent: Minor formatting stuff

[[Color]] is used to express various information, from a dwarf's profession, over the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

You may be looking for [[Color schemes]], which contains color schemes different from DF's default.

== Modding color ==

Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

The following colors can be displayed:

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

There's also a one-argument form of the <code>COLOR</code> flag used to define the color of gems. In that case the argument is the foreground color, the background color is variable and the brightness of gems is always 1.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location. Using this technique with a tileset or graphics set may have undesired effects, such as filling up half the tile with a solid rectangle.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

Untelligent: Fixed up the "interesting color effects" a bit

[[Color]] is used to express various information, from a dwarf's profession, over the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

You may be looking for [[Color schemes]], which contains color schemes different from DF's default.

== Modding color ==

Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

The following colors can be displayed:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"
|-
| style="vertical-align: top; padding: 0" |

|}
|}

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

There's also a one-argument form of the <code>COLOR</code> flag used to define the color of gems. In that case the argument is the foreground color, the background color is variable and the brightness of gems is always 1.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

If the brightness value is 1 or another nonzero number, it adds 8 to the foreground color. If the value of the foreground or background is 8-15, it appears as a "bright" color. As these values can be manually typed in instead of using the brightness value, you can also give the background a bright color with this method.

====Values higher than 15:====

If the foreground color is higher than 15 for any reason, the tile or creature will take the color of whatever tile was in that position on the screen in the previous frame. If the background color value is higher than 15, it also acts this way, taking the background color of the previous tile to inhabit that location. Using this technique with a tileset or graphics set may have undesired effects, such as filling up half the tile with a solid rectangle.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"
|-
| style="vertical-align: top; padding: 0" |
{| style="text-align: right; border-spacing: 0 1px; margin: 0 auto; background: black; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black"

Untelligent: Metro manager at 145-150 dwarves?

== Name Changes ==

I've population of 83 and have a Town Manager. I've bumped that index to 80+ ... but this is just a guess... I'll pay more attention of further advances and update this as more data comes to me. I'm using 27.176.38c. I suppose if i started drowning dwarves i could drop the population enough to trigger the reverse... if that works. :) -- [[User:Vaevictus|Vaevictus]] 12:12, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

I've got a population of 202 dwarves with a "City Manager" position. I'm editing the page to reflect that. I am using version 28.181.39e as of this edit. [[User:Aaron5367|Aaron5367]] 15:43, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

Now I've got a populaton of 220 with the "Metropolis Manager" position. I'm editing again, same version as above. [[User:Aaron5367|Aaron5367]] 09:08, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

I have a city manager at 138 dwarves. [[User:threefingeredguy|threefingeredguy]]

I have a metropolis manager at 145 dwarves (although he may have aquired the title at 150 dwarves and then I lost a few soldiers), so some of the current information is obviously wrong, and probably isn't even based on dwarf count, but rather wealth or exports. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 01:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

== Certain Jobs ==

Why don't certain jobs show up on the management screen? I can't find plant seeds or fell trees. [[User:Shoez|Shoez]] 18:46, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
: I would guess that it was because those two tasks in particular require more information than the manager screen is able to handle. Planting seeds is dependent on too many factors; type of plant, suitable season, which farm plot. Felling trees requires the trees to be specifically marked for felling, as there is currently no other way for the game to determine which trees should be cut down ("that copse just outside the goblin fortress looks ideal"...). -- [[User:Raumkraut|Raumkraut]] 21:30, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
::These jobs are automatically generated by the AI. The manager does allocate them to each dwarf.
::If you do want to allocate a job "cut down 30 trees" you do it by designating 30 trees to be cut down. You end up with 30 x jobs "cut down 1 tree". Same effect.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 23:47, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

== What's the use? ==

What's the point in work orders via the manager screen? The only use I've found so far is for glassmaking, to get several batches of ash, then turned into potash, pearlash, and finally glass, without having dwarves cancel the later tasks. But even that seems like it might not fully work. What do people use the manager screen for? --[[User:AlexChurchill|AlexChurchill]] 10:13, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

:Insofar as the manager interface itself goes, it can be more convenient than tracking down workshops, it allows orders to be set up that won't go away (maybe without you noticing) if materials aren't available right this instant, and you have a summary of what you have going on to look at. Beyond that, processing work orders trains organizer skill, which is actually a comparatively easy source of legendary dwarves. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 10:58, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

::If I have, say, 200 plump helmet spawn, and I want to cook, say, 196 of them, I can order 30 and 19 lavish meals via the manager. I can't do that easily without him.
::In general, if I want a specific number of something that won't fit in the 10 sized queue, I use the manager. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 11:16, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

:::It's very useful if you want a specific number of things, and don't want more than that (as you might get if you just set it to repeat). Also, it gets past the requirement to have the materials available at the time a dwarf decides to start working on it - the job won't be cancelled. --[[User:Tyranic-Moron|Tyranic-Moron]] 12:03, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

The section you created based on this wound up slightly misleading. Jobs that can't be accomplished because of missing materials won't exaaaactly 'just sit there'; they'll keep being requeued and cancelled, which is a good bit more annoying than just sitting there. Just FYI. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 12:53, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

== Not working ==

I just changed my manager to someone else and now my previous manager isn't working. I had an order in the manager window thingie which ordered to make beds. I was trying to make him make beds since he had the highest skill in it... I have wood and accessible carpenter's station available, only allowing him to work there with them ordering beds. Now all he does is hang out in the mayor's office which has a resting from an injury dwarf. Bug? I reseted and it seems he was in a meeting.--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 04:21, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
: Just figured he wanted to complain to the mayor which he can't since the guy is resting.
:: One thing that happens with managers is that dwarves schedule meetings with them to complain about things, and half the time the meetings get screwed up by the dwarf going and doing something else, which stops the manager from doing anything for an extremely long time. They still try to carry out the meeting after you switch them out of the manager job, too. As far as I can tell, you have to keep several manager candidates around who you can switch out of the job regularly in order to deal with this. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 08:22, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
::: I drafted him, he sparred, mayor got up, undrafted him, he's still "no job"ing. What was I supposed to do? I guess the mayor wanted to complain to the manager, the other way around... Ah...disable labor of the mayor...what else?--[[User:Seaneat|Seaneat]] 17:27, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
:::: The meetings show up as Attend Meeting or Conduct Meeting when they're being an issue. If he's in No Job, check his assignments. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 00:44, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

:Beds are never worth enough to worry what quality they are.
:My manager is multi roled as:
:#Manager
:#Trader
:#Stone detailer
:Any time I need him I disable Stone Detailing. The rest of the time it seems that whenever some jobs need to be allocated he stops engraving and gets stuck into it. He's a legendary stond detailer which has me a bit worried about what will happen when I have to roll out a new hallway... ;^-) [[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 23:44, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

== multiple workshops ==

If you set a task on the manager screen for, say, 30 rock tables and 30 rock chairs, and you have 2 mason's workshops, will the manager distribute the workload over the two shops or just use one? --[[User:Tachyon|Tachyon]] 21:26, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
:Direct answer: all tasks get distributed between all relevant workshops.
:The worst feature of the Manager is that the manager cannot be told to exclude a given workshop. So you build a craft workshop next to the bone refuse pile and periodically you will find woodcrafter dwarves wandering all the way from your wood stockpile down to it to build a wooden cup. grrrrrr.
:[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 23:41, 10 August 2008 (EDT)
::If I want to use 2 craftdwarfs workshops, one for wood and one for stone, will the manager respect restrictions on who can use it when putting things in the queue? What if I restrict workshop#1 to the woodcrafter and workshop#2 to the stonecrafter? --[[User:Aristoi|Aristoi]] 17:29, 12 August 2008 (EDT)
:::Nope, it'll distribute the jobs evenly across all workshops headless of workshop settings. [[User:HeWhoIsPale|HeWhoIsPale]] 08:18, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

:::You can forbid the stone the shop is built of with the t-menu, dwarves wont use it then, but that is kinda killing the whole point of the manager - less micromanagement. At least u can recall unforbidding it easier when u get the message "X completed" --[[User:Höhlenschreck|Höhlenschreck]] 14:56, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

40d:Body token

2008-11-02T01:05:18Z

Untelligent: Updated APERTURE description.

[[Category:Modding]]

'''Body tokens''' are one of the fundamental parts of creatures, and determine their bodily structure. There are two major types of body tokens: ''body templates'' (BODY) and ''body parts'' (BP).

A creature uses the [[creature tokens#B|BODY creature token]] to list all of the body templates it includes. Each part listed in each template is then included in the creature. In other words: a creature lists the ''body templates'' it is made of. Each ''body template'' contains a set of ''body parts''. Each ''body part'' specifies which other body part it is attached to.

Body parts can connect specifically to another body part, or generally to any body part of a certain category. These connections are handled by the CON and CONTYPE body part tokens respectively.

Body parts can be renamed with a ''[[bodygloss]]'', allowing someone to reuse an existing template instead of defining a similar template with only the names of the body parts changed.

== Convention ==

The convention in the unmodded raw object data in Dwarf Fortress is to make the centre of mass the core of the creature. All other body parts then attach to this central mass, or to those body parts that attach to this central mass. Creating chains of attachments in this fashion produces limbs.

While it is possible to use the CON token to connect to a specific body part ID even if it is in another template, it is convention within the default raw object data to use a CONTYPE if the connected part is in another template, for safety. Otherwise, a creature must have both templates within its BODY token to prevent unpredictable behaviour when the creature is used during world generation or simulated during gameplay.

==Basic Syntax==

filename

[OBJECT:BODY]

[BODY:TEMPLATE1]
[BP:CORE][UPPERBODY][...]
[BP:PART1][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][...]
[BP:PART2][CON:CORE][...]

[BODYGLOSS:FOOBAR:foo:bar]

==Body==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
! width="20%" | Token
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="60%" | Description

|-
| BODY
|
* id
| The name of the body template. Each BP token underneath a given Body Token BODY template is added to a creature when the Creature Token BODY specifies this ID.

|-
| BODYGLOSS
|
* id
* match
* replacement
| Replaces all occurrences of "match" in the creature's body parts with "replacement". E.g., the Body Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE:leg:tentacle], used by the Creature Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE], will cause any "right leg" to appear as "right tentacle". Testing required: would "brain legend" appear as "brain tentacleend"?{{verify}}

|-
|}

==Body Parts==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
! width="20%" | Token
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="60%" | Description

|-
| APERTURE
|
| An opening in the body. Cannot be gouged out (i.e. in combat).

|-
| BP
|
* id
| The internal object ID of the body part. Unlike many other tokens in the game, the id of the BP does not need to be unique throughout all of the raw object files, though it does need to be unique within the BODY it is in.

|-
| BREATHE
|
| The body part is necessary to breathe. If the body part is destroyed, the creature can suffocate unless it has the NOBREATHE token.

|-
| CIRCULATION
|
| If this body part is destroyed, the creature will bleed to death?

|-
| CON
|
* id
| The specific body part ''object ID'' to which this body part attaches.

|-
| CONTYPE
|
* type
| The body part ''token type'' to which this body part attaches. Note that if the creature has more than one body part with that token type each of them will get its own additional body part attached.

|-
| DIGIT
|
| Is a finger/toe. Unknown effect.

|-
| EMBEDDED
|
| The body part is embedded into the body -- it is external, but is not shown until injured. Compare INTERNAL. Can be gouged out?

|-
| FLIER
|
| The body part is necessary for the creature to fly, and damage to the body part will ground the creature.

|-
| GRASP
|
| The body part can be used to hold items (if the creature has the EQUIPS token) or [[wrestling|wrestle]].

|-
| GUTS
|
| To be thought of like intestines. Can be disembowelled, causing a slow painful death from heavy bleeding.

|-
| HEAD
|
| Vital bodypart. If severed, creature dies.

|-
| HEAR
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows the creature to listen.

|-
| INTERNAL
|
| The body part is an internal organ and is not visible until injured.

|-
| JOINT
|
| Can be broken by [[wrestling]] (possibly falling damage in a future version).

|-
| LEFT
|
| The body part is on the left side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the left side.

|-
| LIMB
|
| The body part is usable for [[wrestling]] (i.e. can grab, lock, choke, etc).

|-
| LOWERBODY
|
| The body part is another part of the "core" of the creature. When the lowerbody body part is destroyed, the creature is bisected.

|-
| MOUTH
|
| Allows the creature to eat?

|-
| NERVOUS
|
| Causes pain when destroyed. Other effects?

|-
| RIGHT
|
| The body part is on the right side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the right side.

|-
| SIGHT
|
| Allows creatures to see; creatures without this tag on any part of their bodies cannot see for the purposes of aiming missile weapons (though apparently can find and kill mad adventurers fairly well with melee attacks). May need more testing.

|-
| SKELETON
|
| Prevents game code from removing this bodypart when the creature is converted to skeletal undead.

|-
| SMALL
|
| Unknown effect. Reduces chance to hit? Also will cloak body parts much like the [INTERNAL] or the [EMBEDDED] tags will.

|-
| SMELL
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows creature to smell.

|-
| STANCE
|
| The body part is used to keep the creature standing; injury to the body part will cause the creature to collapse. It also makes the body part act like a foot, and adds toes to the body part. This can be problematic as the body part can be armored by a boot.

|-
| THOUGHT
|
| Necessary for the creature to think. Without a working brain, the creature dies unless it has the NOTHOUGHT Creature Token.

|-
| THROAT
|
| Can be strangled with [[wrestling]] to cause winding, unconsciousness, and eventual death. Strangely, even creatures with the NOBREATHE token can be rendered unconscious (but not dead) by strangulation.

|-
| UPPERBODY
|
| The body part is the "core" of the creature; when the upperbody body part is destroyed, the creature is blown apart.

|-
|}

==Body Part Types==

Legal token types for use with the Attack Token "BYTYPE" argument or for the Body Token "CONTYPE" argument:

* APERTURE
* BREATHE
* CIRCULATION
* DIGIT
* FLIER
* GRASP
* GUTS
* HEAD
* HEAR
* JOINT
* LIMB
* LOWERBODY
* MOUTH
* NERVOUS
* SMELL
* STANCE
* THOUGHT
* UPPERBODY

==Example==

An [[elephant]] is composed of a large number of body parts, but only includes a small list of templates. When an elephant asks for the following 15 templates in its CREATURE:ELEPHANT token:
[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:TRUNK:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH:2TUSKS]

...it gets all of the following 35 body parts:

QUADRUPED:
- upper body
- lower body
- head
- right front leg
- left front leg
- right front foot
- left front foot
- right rear leg
- left rear leg
- right rear foot
- left rear foot
TAIL:
- tail
2EYES:
- right eye
- left eye
2EARS:
- right ear
- left ear
TRUNK:
- trunk
2LUNGS:
- right lung
- left lung
HEART:
- heart
GUTS:
- guts
ORGANS:
- liver
- stomach
- pancreas
- spleen
- right kidney
- left kidney
THROAT:
- throat
NECK:
- neck
SPINE:
- upper spine
- lower spine
BRAIN:
- brain
MOUTH:
- mouth
2TUSKS:
- right tusk
- left tusk

The body part tree of the elephant, after connections are made, is as follows:

+ upper body
- heart
- upper spine
- right lung
- left lung
+ head
- brain
- mouth
- trunk
- right tusk
- left tusk
- right eye
- left eye
- right ear
- left ear
- neck
- throat
+ right front leg
- right front foot
+ left front leg
- left front foot
+ lower body
- lower spine
- guts
- tail
- liver
- stomach
- pancreas
- spleen
- right kidney
- left kidney
+ right rear leg
- right rear foot
+ left rear leg
- left rear foot

40d:Color

2008-09-13T18:00:27Z

Untelligent: Separated the dye color tokens from the new "interesting effects" section.

[[Color]] is used to express various information, from a dwarf's profession, over the natural color of a terrain feature to the material an item is made of.

You may be looking for [[Color schemes]], which contains color schemes different from DF's default.

== Modding color ==

Various moddable files use one of the the two color definitions below.

=== Color flags ===

Colors are primarily defined using the [COLOR:foreground:background:brightness] flag. The three arguments are:

# Foreground color [0-7]
# Background color [0-7]
# Brightness of the foreground color [0 or 1]

The brightness of the background color is always 0.

The following colors can be displayed:

{| style="margin: 0 auto; border-spacing: 0"
|-
| style="vertical-align: top; padding: 0" |

Sometimes the color numbers are part of another flag, e.g. the last three arguments of <code>[EXTRACT:golden salve:6:0:1]</code> express the color yellow on black.

There's also a one-argument form of the <code>COLOR</code> flag used to define the color of gems. In that case the argument is the foreground color, the background color is variable and the brightness of gems is always 1.

===Interesting Color Effects===
====Values 8-15====

Setting the value of the foreground or background color to anything from 8 to 15, with the brightness value at Zero, appears to set it to the same colors of the "standard" values of 0-7, in the same order. However, the brightness value will effectively be Nonzero. Although this may not seem very interesting at first, it also applies to background color, meaning that you can use this trick to give the background a "bright" color, which is not possible using the standard values.

Setting the foreground or background color to 8-15 and setting the brightness to Nonzero has unusual effects that appear to affect both colors, even if one of them is a "standard" value.

====Values higher than 15:====

Setting the foreground value to anything higher than 15 has an odd effect. It changes the set color to match the same color of the ground the creature is standing on. This means that if the creature's foreground color is set to 16 and the creature is standing on black sand, then their tile will turn the color black to match the sand.

Setting the background value has the same effect, but since almost all (if not all) walkable tiles have a black background, the creature's background will probably be black in all cases except on the unit list.

Note: setting the brightness value to anything other than 0 or 1 appears to act as 1. This is probably because it only checks for zero or nonzero numbers.

=== Color tokens ===

[[Dye]]s do not use color flags, they reference color tokens defined in descriptor_color_standard.txt. Color tokens are simply referenced by the token name, e.g. <code>[MILL_DYE:EMERALD]</code>.

The following colors are defined via tokens:

40d:Tilesets

Untelligent: Added # to the aforementioned Stingrays and Giant Cave spiders

''You may be looking for the [[List of user character sets]] or [[List of user graphics sets]].''

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you change [BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. The Dystopian Rhetoric graphics set comes with its own DF installer; to install any others (or to install that one manually), you follow a similar process to the above:

# Download the graphics set. (The list is [[Graphics sets|here]].)
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file using your favorite image editing program.
# Put it in the raw/graphics/example directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation, so it overwrites the existing file.
# Open /raw/graphics/example_text.txt
# Replace the contents with the appropriate text for the graphics set you downloaded. Save the file.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# Locate the [GRAPHICS:NO] line and change it to [GRAPHICS:YES].
# Change the resolution and font directories as above, this time for the lines starting with GRAPHICS instead. So, if you want to use fullscreen mode, modify [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:800], [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:600], and [GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] to suit the standard tileset you want to use. For windowed mode, the lines to change are [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:640], [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:300], and [GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.bmp].
# Be sure to change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE] to the same setting as [BLACK_SPACE].
# Save the file, then you're ready to get mangled by a great-looking elephant!

===How to stretch the tile sets for bigger display===
Simply change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:?] and [BLACK_SPACE:?] to NO in the init/init.txt, depending on whether you are using the graphics mode or not. This will stretch the window to the size you specified in [WINDOWEDX:?] and [WINDOWEDY:?] or FULLSCREENX:?] and [FULLSCREENY:?] or [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:?] and [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:?] or [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:?] and [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:?] depending on which mode you run DF in. (NORMAL|GRAPHICS + WINDOWED|FULLSCREEN)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Recommended only for window mode prior to version 39f, to make it easier to preserve tile aspect ratio. 39f onwards, you should choose a grid size that is of the same aspect ratio as your monitor (e.g. on a 1600x1280 monitor, choose grid size 80:64)
* Take note however that you need to set the the window size correctly.

** For versions prior to 39f, your window width in pixel size should be 3.2 (which is 80/25) times your window height in pixel size.
*: Example:
*:: if you choose window width to be 1600, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1600] in init/init.txt file, then your height should be 1600/3.2 which gives 500, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:500] in init/init.txt. This will automatically stretch your character tiles and gfx tiles accordingly.

** For version 39f onwards where you can change the grid size, you need to compute the aspect ratio from the (grid width)/(grid height).
*: Example:
*:: if you are are using a grid size of 80 by 64, the aspect ratio should be 1.25 (from 80/64). If you set your window width to 1600, then the height will be 1600/1.25 = 1280.

* Also note that stretching a gfx tile may cause graphical artifacts (not the crafted ones in-game!) i.e. slight defects in the visuals, but it should make you able to see smaller tiles on a larger screen area. The exception is when you use a integral multiple, e.g. stretching 16x16 tiles to 32x32, which seems to produce the least artifacts.
* It is not recommended that you shrink tiles though the method is the similar (except defining a smaller window size than is normally required by the grid and tile size).

===How to increase number of tiles shown keeping the tile size the same===
See [[Custom grid]].

== Custom tileset design ==

The gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.

=== How colors other than white and magenta work ===

When the game draws a tile, it will select a foreground color, a background color, and a tile based on the item being drawn. The background color will be used in place of magenta (Hex code #FF00FF or RGB 255 0 255). All other colors in the tile will be treated as a mask against the foreground color. Pure white (#FFFFFF) will always show the foreground color, while light grey (#CCCCCC) will be a slightly darker version of the foreground color, and dark grey (#888888) will be a dark version of the foreground color. Black (#000000) will always be black. It is impossible to use different shades of the background color.

In general, just remember these rules:

* Bright magenta (#FF00FF) is the background.
* Bright white (#FFFFFF) is the foreground.
* Darker shades of white and grey (#C0C0C0, #808080, etc) will display darker shades of the foreground color. It is possible to use any shade of grey, including ones like #333333 and #C2C2C2.
* Black (#000000) will always be black.
* It's probably best to avoid color in normal tilesets.

For an example, the game is drawing an exposed turquoise cluster with color bright blue (#0000FF). While loading the tile image, it encounters the color light grey (#CCCCCC). The color used in its place will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || 0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #0000FF || #CCCCCC ||0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Blue || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || FF16 * CC16 / 10016 = CB16 || 255 * 204 / 256 = 203
|-
| Final Color || || || #0000CB || 0 0 203
|}

Color masks with unequal amounts of R, G and B are calculated in the same fashion. The game is now drawing a speardwarf with color brown (#C0C000). It encounters the color cyan while loading the tile (#008080). The color used instead of cyan will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #C0C000 || #008080 || C016 * 0016 / 10016 = 0016 || 192 * 0 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #C0C000 || #008080 ||C016 * 8016 / 10016 = 6016 || 192 * 128 / 256 = 96
|-
| Blue || #C0C000 || #008080 || 0016 * 8016 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 128 / 256 = 0
|-
| Final Color || || || #006000 || 0 96 0
|}

As illustrated by this example, colors in the tileset can result in colors that aren't in the foreground color or the tile graphic. In this case, a brown foreground color with a cyan pixel color in the tileset results in a final color of green.

Theoretically, the way the game handles color masks could be used to display different graphics for items that use the same tile (but whose respective colors use different color component channels). For example, if a bright red object and a bright blue object use the same tile, the tile can use bright red for all pixels that only the red object uses, bright blue for all pixels only the blue object uses, and bright magenta (but NOT #FF00FF, it would have to be #FE00FE or something similar) for all pixels both objects use. In this fashion the two objects that share a tile would look completely different. In practice however, this is probably impossible because so many objects share the same tile, the chances of the potential foreground colors sharing a red, green, or blue color component are too great.

== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.

40d:Tilesets

Untelligent: Added Stingrays and Giant Cave Spiders to the list of tiles

''You may be looking for the [[List of user character sets]] or [[List of user graphics sets]].''

'''Tilesets''' are images the game uses to display its graphics; each tile is used to show text and represent things. Users create custom tilesets for a number of reasons, including increased visibility, aesthetics, or small size. Tilesets come in two flavors: "'''character sets'''" (or simply "tilesets") and "'''graphics sets'''".

== Overview and installation ==

=== Character sets ===

A character set is an image in BMP format that contains the 256 different tiles, corresponding to the [[Character table|IBM Code Page 437]] (sometimes called Extended ASCII), which are used to display the main graphics. [[List of user character sets|Here is the list]] of user-made standard tilesets. To install any of these tilesets, follow these steps:

# Download the tileset. (The list is [[List of user character sets|here]])
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file. Do NOT just change the extension to .bmp; you must use a program like MS paint to save it as a .bmp.
# Put it in the data/art directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# If you want to use the tileset in fullscreen mode, locate and modify the [FULLSCREENX:800], [FULLSCREENY:600], and [FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] configuration lines to match the specifications from the tileset list. The FULLFONT directive should match the filename of the tileset you downloaded. If you want to use the tileset in windowed mode, search for the [WINDOWEDX:640], [WINDOWEDY:300], and [FONT:curses_640x300.bmp] lines instead, and change them to the correct values.
# It is also recommended you change [BLACK_SPACE:NO] to [BLACK_SPACE:YES] to prevent stretching of the graphics.
# Save the file, then you're ready to play!

=== Graphics sets ===

Character sets only change certain graphics, while others are left out. The confusingly-named [[graphics sets]] are used to change the appearance of [[creatures]] in the game, such as dwarves and unicorns. These are usually designed to work together with certain character sets. The Dystopian Rhetoric graphics set comes with its own DF installer; to install any others (or to install that one manually), you follow a similar process to the above:

# Download the graphics set. (The list is [[Graphics sets|here]].)
# Convert it into a 24-bit BMP file using your favorite image editing program.
# Put it in the raw/graphics/example directory of your Dwarf Fortress installation, so it overwrites the existing file.
# Open /raw/graphics/example_text.txt
# Replace the contents with the appropriate text for the graphics set you downloaded. Save the file.
# Open data/init/init.txt
# Locate the [GRAPHICS:NO] line and change it to [GRAPHICS:YES].
# Change the resolution and font directories as above, this time for the lines starting with GRAPHICS instead. So, if you want to use fullscreen mode, modify [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:800], [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:600], and [GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp] to suit the standard tileset you want to use. For windowed mode, the lines to change are [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:640], [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:300], and [GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_640x300.bmp].
# Be sure to change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE] to the same setting as [BLACK_SPACE].
# Save the file, then you're ready to get mangled by a great-looking elephant!

===How to stretch the tile sets for bigger display===
Simply change [GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:?] and [BLACK_SPACE:?] to NO in the init/init.txt, depending on whether you are using the graphics mode or not. This will stretch the window to the size you specified in [WINDOWEDX:?] and [WINDOWEDY:?] or FULLSCREENX:?] and [FULLSCREENY:?] or [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:?] and [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:?] or [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:?] and [GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:?] depending on which mode you run DF in. (NORMAL|GRAPHICS + WINDOWED|FULLSCREEN)

IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Recommended only for window mode prior to version 39f, to make it easier to preserve tile aspect ratio. 39f onwards, you should choose a grid size that is of the same aspect ratio as your monitor (e.g. on a 1600x1280 monitor, choose grid size 80:64)
* Take note however that you need to set the the window size correctly.

** For versions prior to 39f, your window width in pixel size should be 3.2 (which is 80/25) times your window height in pixel size.
*: Example:
*:: if you choose window width to be 1600, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1600] in init/init.txt file, then your height should be 1600/3.2 which gives 500, i.e. [GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:500] in init/init.txt. This will automatically stretch your character tiles and gfx tiles accordingly.

** For version 39f onwards where you can change the grid size, you need to compute the aspect ratio from the (grid width)/(grid height).
*: Example:
*:: if you are are using a grid size of 80 by 64, the aspect ratio should be 1.25 (from 80/64). If you set your window width to 1600, then the height will be 1600/1.25 = 1280.

* Also note that stretching a gfx tile may cause graphical artifacts (not the crafted ones in-game!) i.e. slight defects in the visuals, but it should make you able to see smaller tiles on a larger screen area. The exception is when you use a integral multiple, e.g. stretching 16x16 tiles to 32x32, which seems to produce the least artifacts.
* It is not recommended that you shrink tiles though the method is the similar (except defining a smaller window size than is normally required by the grid and tile size).

===How to increase number of tiles shown keeping the tile size the same===
See [[Custom grid]].

== Custom tileset design ==

The gameplay viewport is 80 characters wide, and 25 characters tall. Therefore, a tileset's target resolution will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 80 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 25. Since the tileset is arranged into a 16x16 grid of tiles (256 tiles total), the tileset image size will be TILE_X_LENGTH * 16 by TILE_Y_LENGTH * 16. Here are some common tile sizes:

* A tileset with 10x12 tiles will be 160x192 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 800x300.
* A tileset with 16x16 tiles will be 256x256 pixels large, and the target resolution will be 1280x400.

When creating a custom tileset, it's often easiest to start with an existing one, and edit it to your liking. Tilesets generally fall into three categories: rectangular tilesets, square tilesets, and 16x16 square tilesets. Rectangular tilesets have tiles that are taller than they are wide. The text in these tilesets is generally easier to read, but the map appears squished horizontally. Square tilesets usually provide more attractive graphics, but are slightly less readable. The 16x16 square tilesets are just a sub-set, which are grouped together because most [[Object Tilesets]] use 16x16 tiles. The graphics in Dwarf Fortress can be somewhat diversified and enhanced through the use of graphics sets.

Many tiles are used by the game in multiple ways, and this makes customizing the graphics difficult. The same icon is used for chairs and the north end of one-tile-wide vertical bridges. Ashes and broken arrows look the same, and many game entities (such as levers, floodgates, bags, and bins) share characters that are also used in Dwarven names or other bits of text in the interface.

=== How colors other than white and magenta work ===

When the game draws a tile, it will select a foreground color, a background color, and a tile based on the item being drawn. The background color will be used in place of magenta (Hex code #FF00FF or RGB 255 0 255). All other colors in the tile will be treated as a mask against the foreground color. Pure white (#FFFFFF) will always show the foreground color, while light grey (#CCCCCC) will be a slightly darker version of the foreground color, and dark grey (#888888) will be a dark version of the foreground color. Black (#000000) will always be black. It is impossible to use different shades of the background color.

In general, just remember these rules:

* Bright magenta (#FF00FF) is the background.
* Bright white (#FFFFFF) is the foreground.
* Darker shades of white and grey (#C0C0C0, #808080, etc) will display darker shades of the foreground color. It is possible to use any shade of grey, including ones like #333333 and #C2C2C2.
* Black (#000000) will always be black.
* It's probably best to avoid color in normal tilesets.

For an example, the game is drawing an exposed turquoise cluster with color bright blue (#0000FF). While loading the tile image, it encounters the color light grey (#CCCCCC). The color used in its place will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || 0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #0000FF || #CCCCCC ||0016 * CC16 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 204 / 256 = 0
|-
| Blue || #0000FF || #CCCCCC || FF16 * CC16 / 10016 = CB16 || 255 * 204 / 256 = 203
|-
| Final Color || || || #0000CB || 0 0 203
|}

Color masks with unequal amounts of R, G and B are calculated in the same fashion. The game is now drawing a speardwarf with color brown (#C0C000). It encounters the color cyan while loading the tile (#008080). The color used instead of cyan will be:

{| style="margin-bottom:20px; text-align:left; width:90%"
|-
! Color component || Foreground color || Color mask from tile || Calculation in hex || Calculation in decimal
|-
| Red || #C0C000 || #008080 || C016 * 0016 / 10016 = 0016 || 192 * 0 / 256 = 0
|-
| Green || #C0C000 || #008080 ||C016 * 8016 / 10016 = 6016 || 192 * 128 / 256 = 96
|-
| Blue || #C0C000 || #008080 || 0016 * 8016 / 10016 = 0016 || 0 * 128 / 256 = 0
|-
| Final Color || || || #006000 || 0 96 0
|}

As illustrated by this example, colors in the tileset can result in colors that aren't in the foreground color or the tile graphic. In this case, a brown foreground color with a cyan pixel color in the tileset results in a final color of green.

Theoretically, the way the game handles color masks could be used to display different graphics for items that use the same tile (but whose respective colors use different color component channels). For example, if a bright red object and a bright blue object use the same tile, the tile can use bright red for all pixels that only the red object uses, bright blue for all pixels only the blue object uses, and bright magenta (but NOT #FF00FF, it would have to be #FE00FE or something similar) for all pixels both objects use. In this fashion the two objects that share a tile would look completely different. In practice however, this is probably impossible because so many objects share the same tile, the chances of the potential foreground colors sharing a red, green, or blue color component are too great.

== What tiles are used for what ==

* Items marked with * can have their tile changed in the [[modding|raw data]] files.
* Items marked with # can have their tile replaced by a [[graphics set]] image, in addition to having their tile changed in the raw data.
* Items marked with $ can be changed in the [[init.txt]] file.

== Page expansion ==

I want to explore the reaction mechanisms further so I'm going to be gathering information from the forum and other pages on the wiki and linking it to the talk page to have a nice list put together for information sources. --[[User:Ikkonoishi|Ikkonoishi]] 12:51, 11 January 2008 (EST)

Reactions can produce other items besides metal and stones.
http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000101

Using Plants as materials.
http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000051

just tested and confirmed that you can add reaction tags. testing if multiple reaction tags can be added to one items now.

adding to flint 
[MATGLOSS_STONE:FLINT] 
[NAME:flint][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:178] 
[SEDIMENTARY] 
'''[REACTION_CLASS:TEST]''' 
[SOLID_DENSITY:9999] 
 

and adding a new reaction 

[REACTION:STONE_MAGIC] 
[NAME:make steel from test flag] 
[SMELTER] 
[REAGENT:1:REACTION_CLASS:TEST] 
[PRODUCT:100:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL] 

gives out 2 bars of steel bars --[[User:Shadetree|Shadetree]] 23:29, 5 February 2008 (EST)

=== Pets? ===
I notice one of the entries for item tokens is PET. Is it possible to smelt animals? Can I have a smelter pop out a swarm of giant eagles? [[User:Rkyeun|Rkyeun]] 22:26, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

No. Well, technically you can, but it'll pop out as a swarm of tiny vermin instead of a flock of killer birds. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 18:32, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

==Plant Reactions==
In the August 12th dev log (which eventually became part of 40a), Toady mentioned that reactions for several items, notably "plants to bones to extracts etc." are fully supported now (as opposed to making the material number the same as the number of the plant). Can someone find the correct syntax for such reactions? --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 18:32, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

40d:Body token

2008-08-19T17:07:31Z

Untelligent: Verifying that DIGIT is a valid token for BYTYPE.

[[Category:Modding]]

'''Body tokens''' are one of the fundamental parts of creatures, and determine their bodily structure. There are two major types of body tokens: ''body templates'' (BODY) and ''body parts'' (BP).

A creature uses the [[creature tokens#B|BODY creature token]] to list all of the body templates it includes. Each part listed in each template is then included in the creature. In other words: a creature lists the ''body templates'' it is made of. Each ''body template'' contains a set of ''body parts''. Each ''body part'' specifies which other body part it is attached to.

Body parts can connect specifically to another body part, or generally to any body part of a certain category. These connections are handled by the CON and CONTYPE body part tokens respectively.

Body parts can be renamed with a ''[[bodygloss]]'', allowing someone to reuse an existing template instead of defining a similar template with only the names of the body parts changed.

== Convention ==

The convention in the unmodded raw object data in Dwarf Fortress is to make the centre of mass the core of the creature. All other body parts then attach to this central mass, or to those body parts that attach to this central mass. Creating chains of attachments in this fashion produces limbs.

While it is possible to use the CON token to connect to a specific body part ID even if it is in another template, it is convention within the default raw object data to use a CONTYPE if the connected part is in another template, for safety. Otherwise, a creature must have both templates within its BODY token to prevent unpredictable behaviour when the creature is used during world generation or simulated during gameplay.

==Basic Syntax==

[BP:PART1][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][...]

==Body==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
! width="20%" | Token
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="60%" | Description

|-
| BODY
|
* id
| The name of the body template. Each BP token underneath a given Body Token BODY template is added to a creature when the Creature Token BODY specifies this ID.

|-
| BODYGLOSS
|
* id
* match
* replacement
| Replaces all occurrences of "match" in the creature's body parts with "replacement". E.g., the Body Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE:leg:tentacle], used by the Creature Token [BODYGLOSS:TENTACLE], will cause any "right leg" to appear as "right tentacle". Testing required: would "brain legend" appear as "brain tentacleend"?{{verify}}

|-
|}

==Body Parts==

{| border="1" cellpadding="2" width="100%"
! width="20%" | Token
! width="20%" | Arguments
! width="60%" | Description

|-
| APERTURE
|
| Unknown effect. An opening in the body, apparently, but no known purpose.

|-
| BP
|
* id
| The internal object ID of the body part. Unlike many other tokens in the game, the id of the BP does not need to be unique throughout all of the raw object files, though it does need to be unique within the BODY it is in.

|-
| BREATHE
|
| The body part is necessary to breathe. If the body part is destroyed, the creature can suffocate unless it has the NOBREATHE token.

|-
| CIRCULATION
|
| If this body part is destroyed, the creature will bleed to death?

|-
| CON
|
* id
| The specific body part ''object ID'' to which this body part attaches.

|-
| CONTYPE
|
* type
| The body part ''token type'' to which this body part attaches. Note that if the creature has more than one body part with that token type each of them will get its own additional body part attached.

|-
| DIGIT
|
| Is a finger/toe. Unknown effect.

|-
| EMBEDDED
|
| The body part is embedded into the body -- it is external, but is not shown until injured. Compare INTERNAL. Can be gouged out?

|-
| FLIER
|
| The body part is necessary for the creature to fly, and damage to the body part will ground the creature.

|-
| GRASP
|
| The body part can be used to hold items (if the creature has the EQUIPS token) or [[wrestling|wrestle]].

|-
| GUTS
|
| Can be disembowelled?

|-
| HEAD
|
| Vital bodypart. If severed, creature dies.

|-
| HEAR
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows the creature to listen.

|-
| INTERNAL
|
| The body part is an internal organ and is not visible until injured.

|-
| JOINT
|
| Can be broken by [[wrestling]] (possibly falling damage in a future version).

|-
| LEFT
|
| The body part is on the left side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the left side.

|-
| LIMB
|
| The body part is usable for [[wrestling]] (i.e. can grab, lock, choke, etc).

|-
| LOWERBODY
|
| The body part is another part of the "core" of the creature. When the lowerbody body part is destroyed, the creature is bisected.

|-
| MOUTH
|
| Allows the creature to eat?

|-
| NERVOUS
|
| Causes pain when destroyed. Other effects?

|-
| RIGHT
|
| The body part is on the right side of the creature and is thus vulnerable to attacks from the right side.

|-
| SIGHT
|
| Allows creatures to see; creatures without this tag on any part of their bodies cannot see for the purposes of aiming missile weapons (though apparently can find and kill mad adventurers fairly well with melee attacks). May need more testing.

|-
| SKELETON
|
| Prevents game code from removing this bodypart when the creature is converted to skeletal undead.

|-
| SMALL
|
| Unknown effect. Reduces chance to hit?

|-
| SMELL
|
| Unknown effect. Presumably allows creature to smell.

|-
| STANCE
|
| The body part is used to keep the creature standing; injury to the body part will cause the creature to collapse. It also makes the body part act like a foot, and adds toes to the body part. This can be problematic as the body part can be armored by a boot.

|-
| THOUGHT
|
| Necessary for the creature to think. Without a working brain, the creature dies unless it has the NOTHOUGHT Creature Token.

|-
| THROAT
|
| Can be strangled with [[wrestling]] to cause winding, unconsciousness, and eventual death. Strangely, even creatures with the NOBREATHE token can be rendered unconscious (but not dead) by strangulation.

|-
| UPPERBODY
|
| The body part is the "core" of the creature; when the upperbody body part is destroyed, the creature is blown apart.

==Example==

An [[elephant]] is comprised of a large number of body parts, but only includes a small list of templates. When an elephant asks for the following 15 templates in its CREATURE:ELEPHANT token:
[BODY:QUADRUPED:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:TRUNK:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH:2TUSKS]

...it gets all of the following 35 body parts:

QUADRUPED:
- upper body
- lower body
- head
- right front leg
- left front leg
- right front foot
- left front foot
- right rear leg
- left rear leg
- right rear foot
- left rear foot
TAIL:
- tail
2EYES:
- right eye
- left eye
2EARS:
- right ear
- left ear
TRUNK:
- trunk
2LUNGS:
- right lung
- left lung
HEART:
- heart
GUTS:
- guts
ORGANS:
- liver
- stomach
- pancreas
- spleen
- right kidney
- left kidney
THROAT:
- throat
NECK:
- neck
SPINE:
- upper spine
- lower spine
BRAIN:
- brain
MOUTH:
- mouth
2TUSKS:
- right tusk
- left tusk

The body part tree of the elephant, after connections are made, is as follows:

+ upper body
- heart
- upper spine
- right lung
- left lung
+ head
- brain
- mouth
- trunk
- right tusk
- left tusk
- right eye
- left eye
- right ear
- left ear
- neck
- throat
+ right front leg
- right front foot
+ left front leg
- left front foot
+ lower body
- lower spine
- guts
- tail
- liver
- stomach
- pancreas
- spleen
- right kidney
- left kidney
+ right rear leg
- right rear foot
+ left rear leg
- left rear foot
