game crash with modded creature.
« on: January 12, 2008, 02:04:00 pm »
greetings everyone this is my first post though i have been lurking for quite some time.
But on to the point...
when I tried to mod in a new creature the game tried to set me as humans then it crashed when I told it to embark.
i had the creature in the creature_domestic file then I tried sticking it into a new document called creature_new. both times i got the same result.any ideas what could have caused this? the creature I used was.
code:
 [CREATURE:PUNCHBAG]
   [NAME:elf:elves:elf]
   [TILE:'E'][COLOR:4:0:1]
   [PETVALUE:3][NATURAL]
   [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD]
   [LARGE_ROAMING]
   [COMMON_DOMESTIC][PET]
   [PREFSTRING:Glorious screams]   [BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH]
   [SIZE:7]
   [MAXAGE:10:20]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:punch:punches:1:2:BLUDGEON]
   [CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:sproglet:sproglets]
   [FAT:1]
   [DIURNAL]

Do you still have the original elves in the game? Along with the punching bag?

The elves yes but not the punching bag.

DF still occasionally hangs at embark anyway, especially after you have happily planned your stating set up for 6 minutes!

Just try again and see if it works.

There appears to be nothing wrong with the creature file - post your entity_default.txt up as well, the game shouldnt be making you start as a human unless you modded it.

okay I'll post my entity_default.txt.

EDIT: never mind It seems to work now.
I changed my creatures to Wood elves and now they seem to be fine.
