Need a little help with basic modding
« on: May 20, 2012, 02:52:05 pm »

I am certainly not a modder. But I figured, DF modding is pretty easy. I tried using the wiki's entity tokens to mod in a Troll Outsider, but it doesn't work.

Here's the Code:

Code: [Select]
[CREATURE:TROLL]
[DESCRIPTION:A huge humanoid monster with coarse fur, large tusks and horns.]
[NAME:troll:trolls:troll]
[CASTE_NAME:troll:trolls:troll]
[CREATURE_TILE:'T'][COLOR:0:0:1]
[CHILD:10][BABY:1][MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
[BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM]
[UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1:3]
[LARGE_ROAMING][DIFFICULTY:2]
[POPULATION_NUMBER:5:10]
[BUILDINGDESTROYER:2]
[LIKES_FIGHTING]
[LARGE_PREDATOR]
[CAN_LEARN][SLOW_LEARNER]
[GRASSTRAMPLE:20]
[BONECARN]
        [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[PREFSTRING:terrifying features]
[BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:TONGUE:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE:2HEAD_HORN:2TUSKS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]

As you can see the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] is added, but I tried it and it doesn't work. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong?

[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] is a enitiy level tag. Make a non entity that has CREATURE:TROLL and the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] with the adv do hicky

Go into entity_default and make a new entry for the race, and then put the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag in there.
