So, as the title says, how would I go about editing the raws to make the cave swallow, bat man, etc. races playable? I've already done goblins and kobolds.

You can create a new entity for those races. If you just want to go play now, it is very easy. Add this to the bottom of entity_default.txt in df/raw/objects folder.

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:<whatever, just something unique>]
[ADVENTURE_TIER:<number here, must not be same as another entity>]
[CREATURE:<the id of the race you want here>]
[TRANSLATION:<refer to the language file you want to use if you want them to have names>]
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
An example from Deon's Genesis mod.

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:CHANGELINGS]
[ADVENTURE_TIER:13]
[CREATURE:WEREWOLF]
[TRANSLATION:GOBLIN]In this case you must have defined a race WEREWOLF and have a file named language_GOBLIN.txt in the raw folder.

The race id's can probably be found in wiki or you can just check creature_subterranean.txt. You can add as many entities as you like, just remember to generate a new world. You cannot add entities to an existing save. You'll only get naked, unskilled adventurers though. Getting them to start with equipment and skills is quite a bit more work.

Alright, thanks.
