Preliminary information on tokens used in the material description files, stored at raw/objects/matgloss_*.txt in the default distribution.
−
'''Matgloss tokens''' are used in material definitions in the raws.
 
  
−
Matgloss types:
+
These files begin with the filename as the other raws do, then [OBJECT:MATGLOSS]. Individual entries begin with [MATGLOSS_METAL:ID], [MATGLOSS_PLANT:ID], [MATGLOSS_STONE:ID], or [MATGLOSS_WOOD:ID].
−
* MATGLOSS_STONE - [[Stone token]]
 
−
* MATGLOSS_METAL - [[Metal token]]
 
−
* MATGLOSS_PLANT - [[Plant token]]
 
−
* MATGLOSS_WOOD - [[Wood token]]

== Metal-specific tokens ==
 +
* TILE is the tile (character or 437 ordinal) for the material while still in the ground (trees, plants, rough walls)
 +
* Usage - different metals can be used for different things
 +
** WEAPON (fun fact: the WEAPON token only appears in the list of items)
 +
** WEAPON_RANGED
 +
** DIGGER - e.g. for picks
 +
** AMMO
 +
** ANVIL
 +
** ANY_USE
 +
* BRITTLE - Unknown gameplay effect
 +
* DAMAGE_PERC, BLOCK_PERC - weapons and armor respectively. Relative to Iron.
 +
* WAFERS - Instead of bars. Items take three times as many wafers as bars to make.
 +
== Wood-specific tokens ==
 +
Some of these are also on plants.
 +
* AUTUMNCOLOR - changes color with the seasons
 +
* WET, DRY - Same as [[Plant tokens|for plants]]
 +
* SAPLING - Young trees are called saplings instead of e.g. "young tower-cap"
 +
* BIOME
 +
* PREFSTRING
 +
== Plant-specific tokens ==
 +
See [[Plant tokens]].
 +
== Stone-specific tokens ==
 +
* STONE_NAME - Loose stones are called this, e.g. for "nuggets" vs native metal
 +
* [METAL_ORE:<metal>:<percentage>] - automatically creates a smelter reaction requiring fuel and one stone to make one bar.
 +
** Multiple METAL_ORE tokens mean that there is a percentage chance of each metal - c.f. [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]].
 +
* ITEM_SYMBOL: Loose stones use this tile. Used to make [[bituminous coal]] show up as ☼ and ores as *.
 +
* LAVA - lines the magma pipe; formed with water + magma
 +
* SHARP - can be made into CAN_STONE weapons
 +
* GLASS - [[rock crystal]].
 +
 
 +
===Layer types===
 +
Note: Soils are considered to be a subtype of stone in the raws.
 +
 
 +
A stone material can be tagged with one of:
 +
*[SEDIMENTARY]
 +
*[IGNEOUS_INTRUSIVE]
 +
*[IGNEOUS_EXTRUSIVE]
 +
*[METAMORPHIC]
 +
*[SOIL]
 +
*[SOIL_OCEAN]
 +
 
 +
Additionally these can occur:
 +
*[SEDIMENTARY_OCEAN_SHALLOW]
 +
*[SEDIMENTARY_OCEAN_DEEP]
 +
*[SOIL_SAND] - can be made into glass
 +
*[AQUIFER] - aquifers can be in these layers
 +
 
 +
Layer tags are not mutually exclusive with ENVIRONMENT tags.
 +
 
 +
===ENVIROMENT and ENVIRONMENT_SPEC===
 +
 
 +
Format:
 +
*[ENVIRONMENT:<class>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]
 +
** class may also be ALL_STONE, IGNEOUS_ALL, ALLUIVAL.
 +
*[ENVIRONMENT_SPEC:<id>:<inclusion type>:<frequency>]
 +
 
 +
The inclusion type can be CLUSTER, CLUSTER_SMALL, CLUSTER_ONE, or VEIN. CLUSTERs are large ovoids that occupy their entire local map tile if present. CLUSTER_SMALL inclusions are blobs of 3-9 tiles; CLUSTER_ONE inclusions are single tiles; and VEINs are large streaks.
 +
 
 +
If no CLUSTER is present, then zero to two VEINs as well as roughly five to seven other clusters will be present in the local map tile.
 +
 
 +
Anecdotal evidence suggests that each z-layer will tend to reuse the same type of inclusions, leading to multiple clusters of the same type of opal rather than several different types.
 +
 
 +
== Tokens not found in the raws ==
 +
These do not appear in any shipped raw file. They were found [[string dump|in the EXE]]. We can only speculate as to their syntax and meaning. Athough, some are obvious. Others may be easily discovered by modding. It is unknown whether any of these do anything.
 +
 
 +
* LIQUID_DENSITY
 +
* BUILD_COLOR
 +
* TILE_COLOR
 +
* DROWN_LEVEL - probably for plants
 +
* Probably Wood-specific, based on their positioning in the token table
 +
** DEAD_TILE
 +
** SAPLING_TILE
 +
** DEAD_COLOR
 +
** SAPLING_COLOR
 +
** SAPLING_DROWN_LEVEL
 +
** TREE_DROWN_LEVEL
 +
