Ok I'm wondering if the creatures in the next version of DF will be similar enough that I can just copy paste their files into the raw?

[Putnam]

Should be, unless there are GAIT errors.

Here's an example of gaits:

Humans, for example, have

[APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_CRAWLING_GAITS:2900:2175:1450:725:3900:5900]


which goes to


[CREATURE_VARIATION:STANDARD_BIPED_GAITS]
   GAIT:type:name:full speed:build up time:turning max:start speed:energy use
      use NO_BUILD_UP if you jump immediately to full speed
      these optional flags go at the end:
         LAYERS_SLOW - fat/muscle layers slow the movement (muscle-slowing counter-acted by strength bonus)
         STRENGTH - strength attribute can speed/slow movement
         AGILITY - agility attribute can speed/slow movement
         STEALTH_SLOWS:<n> - n is percentage slowed
         it would be interesting to allow quirky attributes (like mental stats), but they aren't supported yet

ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:prepare:recover will default to 3:3, so that's not much to worry about.

[Roses]

Interesting. Has Toady talked about any of the other creature raw changes that are going to take place?

[Putnam]

There are a few minor things like vampire vision that I'm not entirely sure have gone into this version that should have new raws. Here's a compilation I put together from Toady's answers.

[locustgate]

Reading through the added behaviour will there be something that makes it so 'x climbs a y tree' or 'x falls from y tree, landing on the ground and shattering the skull'
