Complete newbie's guide to creating creatures?
« on: August 07, 2010, 07:05:39 am »

I have a couple of ideas for creatures for DF (I'd eventually like to make a completely new set of domestic creatures for the dwarves; it seems silly to me to have them raising cows underground :P) but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that - particularly how to make bodies that aren't standard humanoid or quadruped ones, or how to specify different materials for specific body parts. A how-to guide would be useful, but I haven't found any. Does such a thing exist?

Dying (ceasing to be alive) is also not a Moodable skill. Even totally unskilled Dwarves seem to do it correctly.

I don't know if there's a detailed guide but i find reverse engineering similar creatures with the help of the wiki is a good tactic.
