It seems this bug may also happen if you transform into a default creature.

I assume you mean something like this:

Code: [Select]

[CE_BODY_TRANSFORMATION:START:0]
[CE:CREATURE:WOLF:DEFAULT]
The string after WOLF should refer to a caste - there's no caste of wolves called DEFAULT so the game probably freaks out a bit. Replace it with FEMALE or MALE and it should be okay.

I had similar issues with transformed beings causing crashes when their description was viewed, but it went away once I added a caste to the creature and made the interaction target that caste. I didn't do anything with the description, though.

[RadHazard]

Perhaps I should have been more clear
By "default" I was referring to creatures included in vanilla DF. The interaction does have [CE:CREATURE:WOLF:MALE] in it.  The problem is that wolves don't have caste-specific descriptions, as far as I know.

I know this is a HUUUUUUGE necro, and I'm sorry, but I'm having this same issue, and moving CASTE_NAME and DESCRIPTION to the caste is not helping. Here is code for the creature

Is it the TL_COLOR modifiers? I'm about ready to just give up on this.

[Meph]

Is it the TL_COLOR modifiers?

I say yes, they conflict if the new creature has the same color modifiers, but with different colors. If the orig. creature has blue eyes, the newly transformed one has red eyes, and you open the description, the game just gives up, since it does not know if it should display red or blue. I fixed my crashed by removing the color modifiyers from the original creature.

Hope that helps, It took me about 5 hours to figure that out, working on my slaves...

Ok, thanks so much, I'll try that and see.

EDIT: Seems to be working, for the scorps at least. I'll try with the wolves after.

Keeping it up so more people can get a look at it.

I was doing the same thing after I saw a posting why the colors were broke but some of my extracted werebeasts were crashing anyways, so I thought why not just copy the color modifiers to the new creature and make them match up?  Also doesn't work 100% because some creatures could have color modifiers for materials the other's don't have, but they can be added as something different on the other creature.

It's a great help, thanks a bunch.
