So I'm trying to create a race of angels...
« on: February 25, 2012, 01:40:28 pm »

It's worked pretty well, so far.

Then I decided to experiment with the caste system.

The semantics are: regular angels (male and female) have 2 wings, seraphim (male) have 6.

Oddly, when I genned a seraph in adventure mode, he had no wings. Regular angels have 2 wings like they're supposed to, though.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That's my code. Mostly copied and pasted from humans. I'm confused, though. Could it be that they're interbreeding incorrectly?

Any advice to this newbie would be awesome.

EDIT: Found my first bug. Angels that hunt great beasts in world gen die of starvation, as they don't eat their kills.

Still need help with Seraphim not having wings, though.

I got it. :3 Thanks, people!

Do you get any errors in the error log?  Did you add '6WINGS' to the body raw file?

No error log errors.

Also, the most relevant piece of information from my code is this:

[SELECT_CASTE:SERAPHIM]      [BODY:HUMANOID:6WINGS:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH:TONGUE:FACIAL_FEATURES:TEETH:RIBCAGE]

Did you add '6WINGS' to the body raw file?

Now, I'm confused on exactly what you mean by this. Care to elaborate?

If that's all your code, then the wings is your problem. You can't just say 6 wings instead of 2. 2wings is a specific body template, you'll have to make one with 6.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Ah, ok. Well. I'm still a bit confused. Not made a body template yet. I assume I can add it as a new file, say body_mod, right? And how do I do it, if you don't mind me asking?

I think I actually figured it out. Update soon!

Just look in the standard body template text files and find two wings and copy them into your new one and just modify them two have 6.  A good example to go off is something that has 4 arms or 6 legs and copy the style of that into your 6 wing template.
