Oke, so Me and a friend of mine keep getting bothered with these things and would love to know why ...

[Meph]

Open the GUI, find the mods tab, find the "hungry ghost" button, disable them.

They are part of IndigoFenix Mythical Monsters mod and seemingly heavily overpowered.

If i do that, will it take effect on the current fortress ?

No. such changes always require a re-gen.

You can lower their frequency in the raws without needing to reload.

Try setting them to FREQUENCY:2 in creature_hungryghost.txt

That is what they are supposed to be, I accidentally made them too common.

[Putnam]

Can you? Could've sworn FREQUENCY was a biome placement thing, which is a worldgen-focused tag.

[IndigoFenix]

Population is determined in worldgen, but frequency is just how often they spawn on the map during gameplay (unless they are extinct in the region).  Against logic, these numbers are unrelated.

[Gokajern]

Soooo, I checked the raws and there is no FREQUENCY tag, there was however a POPULATION tag which I promptly changed to 0:0 in my save's raws I mean. Will that prevent them or something?

[Putnam]

That is the token I was confusing FREQUENCY for. That's biome placement, won't change. You need to add the FREQUENCY tag, which you can do.

[Gokajern]

Can FREQUENCY be 0?

[Meph]

Can FREQUENCY be 0?

yes, but that sets it to default, which is 50. dont ask why. if you want to disable them, just delete their INTERACTION. they cant infect dwarves anymore then.

[Gokajern]

Ok, so I eliminated the INTERACTION tag (and everything related to it), but now one of my dwarves who was possessed from before will not react. He just stays as if he was possessed and has done so for like a year. Also, another dwarf got possessed, for this one I didn't even get an announcement. What else can I do.

[EDIT] I was thinking about straight up eliminating the preta txt file. What would happen?

as I said, turn it off in the GUI, gen a new world.

[chesse20]

i tryed editing the text file so that pretas do not do anything except be dumb vermin that are no worse than a rat.
edit crashed the game. trying to copy and paste the whole text for blue jays and that also crashed the game

Hi Chesse 20!

First, update your mod (Meph just posted a new version).
Second, there are many folders in the game, and it can be easy to change something in the wrong folder. Meph has a interface that is very easy to safely change things. If you are using the Masterwork.EXE that is the GUI Meph is referring to.

Open the GUI, find the mods tab, find the "hungry ghost" button, disable them.

They are part of IndigoFenix Mythical Monsters mod and seemingly heavily overpowered.

So, start up the interface (not the game). There are several series of tabs (just like your browser) one of the is labeled 'Mods' click on it. Preta's are the "hungry ghost", and a simple click will leave them deactivated.
