Tame Large Land Animal
« on: March 06, 2011, 12:22:14 pm »

I've recently captured a Draltha in one of my cage trap beneath the surface, I decided that I would tame it and turn it into a War Draltha. I went into the raws and changed the [PET_EXOTIC] tag to [PET] and added the [TRAINABLE] tag. I saved it, opened the game, and attempted to tame the Draltha. When I go to my kennel and press "Tame Large Land Animal" nothing comes up. I can't move the cursor to the Draltha or anything, as the action cancels after leaving the kennel. I imagine I'm supposed to have a list there, but the caged Draltha doesn't show up on the list. My first guess is that I screwed something up when I was modding, although those are the only two things that I added. Is there something else I need to include to make it tamable? If not, what am I doing wrong?

perhaps you need the dungeon master for the exotic pets

From the description of the event, I think that your copy of Dwarf Fortress was on drugs when this happened. That's surely the only logical explanation for a human werewolf with deadly farts dying from it's own excrement after slaughtering some goblins comrades.

As I understand it, it's the adding of new tags such as [trainable] that require a regen- however changing pet_exotic to pet should have worked as far as taming it- I used the automatic tag changer someone posted to do that for all animals since the dungeon master is totally mia, and it worked just fine in my current game.  Are you sure you edited the raws for your save and not the base ones?

You have to edit the base raws AND your world-specific raws, I think.

Also, I'm pretty sure dralthas are grazers in .19, so you might want to take that into consideration.

Alright thanks. Yea I know it's a grazer, I can't really let it out of the cage right now cuz it'll eat my dorfs lol. I'll try what you guys said, and come back if something's still borked.
