Could someone help me with info on how to mod out creatures?
« on: March 23, 2012, 12:27:54 pm »

I loved the tolkienesque feeling df used to have. Now however I have 'Giant Were Peach Faced Love Bird Men' roaming into my areas, I would like to mod out a lot of these creature types to restore df to what it was, which files do I modify to remove the creature types? Is it it like removing aquifer properties from soils and stones? Any info would be helpful. Thanks

delete the raw entries for those creatures.  I think it'll even work without a world regen.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

It won't work without a regen. Attempting to load a game where something has been outright removed will just cause a crash to desktop.

Thanks for all the help guys, I basically just removed every sentient version of the creatures.

I get that toady wants lots of variety I just detest the whole 'giant peach faced were lovebird man' creature types, where will it ever end?

some of the community creatures are just fine and I probably kept most of them, the penguins were a neat add.

I added [GOOD] to the animal man template so they only show up in Joyous Wilds.  I like all the animal people, I just prefer they be special and rare instead of everywhere.  The drawback is a distinct lack of zombie crow men.

What about making them [SEMIMEGABEAST]? Then they won't show up as often, right?

That just means that world gen would be cluttered with them. Also, more would have to be done than just adding that tag.
