CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE_154???
« on: August 22, 2014, 08:29:59 pm »
What is it? I'm using humans as a base for a new race, but what's this CST154? Is it how their soldiers are run? Can I just go CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE_(insert number)?

The token is [CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:#]

It's what tile in a tileset is used for a soldier if there are no graphics sets in place to affect the creature. It's also which tile is used by the corpse of a soldier, as corpses do not use graphics sets in their appearance.

Oh, okay. So I should be fine without it? I doubt any tileset will ever have my modded races in it. ...>.> Maybe if I ask nicely... I doubt it though.

I'm not quite sure if there is any confusion in what we're talking about. Just in case we're talking about different things, a tileset is different from a graphics set. A tileset is the main set used by the game for everything, while graphics sets are exclusively for creatures.

For example, if a creature has [CREATURE_SOLDIER_TILE:33], then it will look like '!', because the thirty-third tile in a tileset is used for exclamation points.

I suppose you could ask if someone was willing to sprite a graphics set for you, or you could attempt it yourself. Or you could look around and see if there are other sprites similar enough to the creature to use, and modify those ones if you are able. Though if you plan on publishing your mod you might want to ask permission to modify others' graphics first.
