A while back I copied the entity and creature files for an Undead race that was posted in this forum. I've included the exact words from my error log:

Unrecognized Creature Graphics Token: FILE
Unrecognized Creature Graphics Token: TILE_DIM
Unrecognized Creature Graphics Token: PAGE_DIM

The Undead will NOT show up in my fortressess. They are listed in the Legends and I have access to an Undead civilization but they never show up and its been like 10 years since I started the fortress.

I'm assuming from the above errors that the fact that I'm using Mike Maydays Graphics Pack is causing the problem? Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I think in your text file that configures the graphics, those settings aren't properly set. For example, here's an excerpt from my file:

Quote

[TILE_PAGE:DORFS]
   [FILE:mayday/dorfs.bmp]
   [TILE_DIM:16:16]
   [PAGE_DIM:12:22]

[CREATURE_GRAPHICS:DWARF]

   [DEFAULT:DORFS:0:0:ADD_COLOR]
   [STANDARD:DORFS:1:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [CHILD:DORFS:2:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
   [BABY:DORFS:3:0:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

Specifically, I'm guessing the [FILE], [TILE_DIM], and [PAGE_DIM] are either missing are set to incorrect parameters

And case you're not sure which file it is, if you're using mayday it's graphics_mayday in your objects\graphics folder.

There wasn't an entry there for Undead. I copied the Human entry, renamed it to UNDEAD and removed everything but the Skeleton and Zombie sections. Will this work now or is there more that needs to be done? Also will it require a new world before it will work?

That did NOT work. The same errors are still in the log. Anybody have some help for me?

This is what I used:

Did you clear the log? It doesn't automatically empty itself. You really ought to change every mention of HUMANS to UNDEAD, and the original HUMAN to whatever you've named your undead race.

I did clear the log.

Renaming the HUMAN mentions to UNDEAD still gives the same 3 errors. I even had the idea of copying the Human graphics and renaming them Undead which didn't help either.

You did it wrong then. The times when 'HUMANS' is in the bit you posted is the name of the TILE_PAGE, and the mention of HUMAN is the name of the creature being graphic'd.

That would be your fault.

This is what the entry currently looks like if it helps.

I'm just going to sum this up with one question/request:

Will somebody who uses Mayday's Graphics Pack please check this: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=27169.0
And see if they can make it work? And if you manage it then tell me how you did it?
