Ok, well basically I'm modding in a new playable race who are undead type creatures. I seem to have gotten most of the stuff worked out, but I'm using a tileset (the dystopian rhetoric one from here). I can't figure out how to get my new race (let's call them ghouls) to use the new skeleton tiles. It'd probably be simpler if I wanted them to use something like the human tileset, but the skeletons in regular DF are weird versions of humans, so the tileset thing has some weird stuff for them rather than just a regular race. Any help is appreicated.

I don't use tile sets, but why don’t you see what the skeletons use as there tile and put that on your race, it should display them as skeletons.

It's pretty easy to do really. Since your race is not going to be considered undead by the game, you don't need to worry about the "weird stuff".

You just need something like this stuck on the end of the file:

code:

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:GHOUL]
   [DEFAULT:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
        [SPEARMAN:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
        [SWORDSMAN:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
        [AXEMAN:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
        [HAMMERMAN:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
        [CROSSBOWMAN:DWARVES2:x:y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

etc... where x and y are the coordinates of the tile you want.

Aha, thanks dude.

I've got one more problem, which is that when i generate a new world it only gives me Ghoul: Play Now! rather than Ghoul from [place], so I can't select any skills.

To have something other than play now I think you need to create civilizations.
