Trouble Copying from Spellbook Thread
« on: March 20, 2012, 04:41:53 pm »

I copied the contents of http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=101264.msg3000472#msg3000472 into the raws, but the angel doesn't seem to show up in arena mode.

I put the creature definitions in creature_custom.txt, I put the interactions in interaction_custom.txt, I put the materials in inorganic_custom.txt, and I put the text thing in text\secret_heal.txt.

What am I doing wrong?

Each custom file needs the right header, for example:

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

And if that doesn't work, put everything into existing folders.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

I'd really rather learn how to use multiple files. Better for keeping things organized, multiple mods, etc.

creature_custom.txt has [OBJECT:CREATURE]
interaction_custom.txt has [OBJECT:INTERACTION]
inorganic_custom.txt has [OBJECT:INORGANIC]

I figured it out. Apparently at the start of every raw file, you need to put a comment (something not in brackets). Otherwise it won't read the file.
