Demon Raws?
« on: October 11, 2010, 03:07:52 pm »

Yeah, I'd like to edit the demons for a little more FUN.

No, I'm not going to horribly gimp them just so I can mop the floor with them and say I did it.

I just want to get a little more creative with them.

EDIT: Did a little more searching and on the wiki.  Ok, so they're randomly generated like Forgotten Beasts now.  Does that mean no more tentacle demons?

Well, you could make some tentacle demons, though I couldn't say how.

It's interesting how I've just replied "there're no more tentacle demons" to "White demon extract" thread and now I see this :P.

Basically all demon raws are stored in your save files, so if your save is not compressed, then your world.dat can be opened with notepad and you can see and edit them.

But if you want to add specific creatures (i.e. tentacle demons) to hell, just make them to live underground (BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM) and add [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:5:5]. Here the first number is the top layer and the second number is the bottom layer between which they can spawn (including the numbers). So 1-3 = caves, 4 = magma see and 5 = hell.

P.S. The way to spawn them:
SUBTERRANEAN_LAVA = in magma
SUBTERRANEAN_WATER = in water
SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM = on land

I take it they are compressed by default?

Maybe. Go to /data/init/init.txt and change [COMPRESSED_SAVES:YES] to [COMPRESSED_SAVES:NO], then save.

Whether they're compressed or not, I've got a script (written in PHP) that can extract all of the titan, demon, and forgotten beast raws from world.dat/world.sav. Get it here.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

so one can attempt to make a Demon Civ
darn I remember one can't make a Demon Civ due to the game randomly gens the demons every time you world gen. so adding the Civ making abilities won't lead to a Town full of blue Demons

It pretty much should work actually. No matter what the demons are, they are always named DEMON_1 etc. So using these would allow you to create demon civs. If it doesn't work, at least you can still create a fake entity for Start  Now demon adventurers. Or titan or forgotten beast adventurers... (I tested the latter in the early 31.X releases at least).

Edit: Okay, only the play now portion works.
