Problem with creatures not showing up in arena mode
« on: July 20, 2010, 11:10:51 pm »

Okay, so I'm trying to make a total conversion mod. I deleted all the existing creature and entity files and replaced them with my own. None of my new civs or creatures are showing up in arena mode or worldgen.

Here's my entity file:

And here's the corresponding creature file:

There's nothing in errorlog.txt to indicate anything wrong. Any ideas?

The filename needs to be creature_terran and entity_terran.

W...what. WHY?

Well, that fixed it. Thanks!

Now it's crashing whenever I spawn one. On to the next bug!

That's just how the game reads the files. It's like, "Oh, there is a file here I can use, because it begins with creature."

Or something.

Odd, the files work fine when I added it to mine. The only thing I tweaked was the "terran_entity" and "terran_creature" at the beginning of each file to the proper name.

Nope, it didn't produce an error log, just crashed. But I suspect it also had to do with misnamed files, because I renamed everything and then it worked.
