I am making a mod that should make small patches of fossils. I dicide to test it out, to see how it will work. I start a new map, look around, reveal the dirt... nothing. Not one square of my fossils. Oh well, I'll use that reaction I created to make a fossil!

...

What? It's... a rock. Just that. Rock.

I put it in it's own little file, tags look alright. I have no idea what's up. Code is below.

code:

 [OBJECT:MATGLOSS]
[MATGLOSS_STONE:TRILOBITE]
[NAME:trilobite fossil][COLOR:0:7:1][TILE:'@']

[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[SOLID_DENSITY:3796]

[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[SOLID_DENSITY:3796]
[MATGLOSS_STONE : DRAGON1]
[NAME:ancient dragon fossil]
[VALUE:8][COLOR:4:7:1][TILE:'D'][ITEM_SYMBOL:'D']

[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER_SMALL:100]
[SOLID_DENSITY:3796] 

That's it, word for word. I put the trilobite one in the regular rock .txt, and it worked fine. So how do I make this work?

EDIT: Smiley genocide, ignore spaces.

add the file name outside of tags at the top. I had that problem at first, where it would work in the orignal files, but not in one I had created. After I added that it worked.

If you have named your txt file stone_custom, then at the top of your code you would need to add this exactly as is.

stone_custom

Ah. I figured as much. Thanks alot!

This is a nice idea! Expand it and make it an archaeology minimod!

[PTTG??]

Sweet mod idea! Mind if I steal it?
