Making Kobolds playable in Fortress mode
« on: May 16, 2008, 05:15:00 pm »
Alright, I know how to make things playable in fortress mode, add [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] to them in the entity_default...

But with kobolds this didn't work. So I added more stuff to them, more weapons, armor, set their digging item...

Still doesn't work.

And what I mean by doesn't work is that when I load up a generated world DF crashes. (And I took [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] away from dwarfs, if I leave it there I still can't play as kobolds)

Help?    :(

EDIT: And this is on a newly extracted version of DF.

Wait, isn't CIV_CONTROLLABLE only for adventure mode?

EDIT: Maybe not, but that is indeed odd.

I was browsing some threads awhile ago and I seem to recall that one needs to change their default site, which is CAVE, to something else (like CAVE_DETAILED).

quite an amusing thing happened when I tried to get this to work.
When I tried to change the profession of a kobold He was considered a pet. As in he could be slaughtered, but not put to work. any idea what I did wrong? I added the [CARNIVORE] tag to them if that makes any difference.

OK, I got another problem...

How do I make them playable in adventure mode?

I know, add [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] to them, but that's just play now, I want it to be so you can actually choose where you start and your skills.

I added in [ADVENTURE_TIER:4], didn't work.

They're on the world map in fortress mode, so they do get generated.

EDIT: Hm, it seems all I needed to do is set their max pop/max site pop higher.

You need to add [INTELLIGENT] to their creature_standard.txt raw to make them act as non-pet type  :)
