Tougher Bodies - Peripheral Nerve Healing

In 1 collection by lmlsna
Modular Vanilla Overhaul
15 items
Description
This mod is a standalone alternative to Tougher Bodies which also includes a mechanism of peripheral nerve healing.

The mod must replace the “vanilla materials” and “vanilla bodies” modules in the load order. This is necessary because the CUT and SELECT methods of mod implementation do not function on material templates and tissue templates. Other mods that modify anything in these modules should be loaded after this mod for them to take effect.

Blood:
Now has a contact syndrome effect called “Peripheral Nerve Regeneration” that heals peripheral nerve damage after around 2 weeks.

The syndrome used is as follows:
[SYNDROME]
[SYN_NAME:Peripheral Nerve Regeneration]
[SYN_CONTACT]
[SYN_NO_HOSPITAL]
[CE_HEAL_NERVES:SEV:100:PROB:100:START:116:END:116:ABRUPT:BP:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ALL:DWF_STRETCH:144]

Looked at it. Seems to do what I want, not quite the way I want but it's more preferable than slimshrooms. I don't know why I didn't find this one when I was combing the www for some help with my idea, but I am glad that you found it! Thank you so much!
lmlsna  [author] 6 Mar @ 2:15pm 
@Noranum I just remembered that there's a mod called "VSR - Regenerating Monsters" that allows plump helmet men to regenerate limbs. It applies the syndrome with an interaction rather than a secretion, which avoids the whole slime thing altogether.
Noranum 6 Mar @ 1:45pm 
I'll give it a try, thank you for your response and advice! :D
I tried to tinker something like this a year or so ago, but stopped cause it didn't work in a way I was happy with. I thought maybe you had found a way that I would have never be able to come up with but if I remember correctly, I already walked down the syndrome path and ended up with slimy little mushroom men... Maybe I just have to wait until the game itself supports regeneration without syndromes.
lmlsna  [author] 6 Mar @ 1:36pm 
@Noranum You can use SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE to make the syndrome only apply to a certain creature.
Noranum 6 Mar @ 1:25pm 
Yeah that basically is a problem since the mushroom dudes don't have... anything, actually. No organs, no heart, no blood, not even eyes to shed some tears (given the fact how most dwarves view them as walking food, maybe it's better that they can't cry).
It can't be internally, then, so I would end up covering them in this stuff which probably would apply the syndrome to people touching it, right?
If I remember correctly, the last time a tried something like this I ended up having the entire map "infected" by self-healing :D
lmlsna  [author] 6 Mar @ 12:58pm 
@Noranum Of course, looking at other people's raws is a great way to learn modding. You should be able to make a syndrome similar to the one above that regrows limbs by using CE_REGROW_PARTS instead of CE_HEAL_NERVES, and then you could give the desired creatures a secretion that continuously applies the syndrome to themselves. There's an example on the wiki for what that would look like on this page you could look at: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Syndrome_examples#Creatures_that_behave_differently_underground
Noranum 6 Mar @ 12:20pm 
I've been looking for some time now for a way to implement something similar to normal tissue. In short, I tried to allow Plump Helmet Men (and any other creature that uses the plant tissue template) to regrow lost limbs (happens so often because they have no bones or any layered tissue). I failed so far. May I poke around in your raws?
Digganob 5 Mar @ 7:10pm 
Indeed. It does a lot of Tarn's work for him (which is very good), in adding more content or for balancing aspects of gameplay. I know I've been looking forward to messing with mummies; it'd be cool if a raid didn't inevitably end in a permanent curse. Maybe just some horrible prolonged sickness or an very high likelihood of unfortunate accidents for a while.
lmlsna  [author] 5 Mar @ 5:01am 
@Digganob For sure! Any additional modding possibilities go a long way for this game. I'm excited to see what people do with the moddable procedural stuff from the Lua beta.
Digganob 4 Mar @ 7:48pm 
I see. So that revised version isn't viable, that's a shame. Interesting research, though. I hope we'll have stronger modding tools later, for messing with things like body mechanics and physics more deeply.
