Would this even be possible?
« on: July 11, 2015, 02:21:45 am »
Maybe I'm insane, but would it be possible to mod DF in such a way that your fortress could be populated by forgotten beast characters? I don't know anything about modding, so I'll be asking out of complete ignorance. If it isn't directly possible, perhaps it might be indirectly so or something? I have no idea. I just like the idea of a fort populated by the forgotten beast tribe.

I don't think it's possible to directly moddify Forgotten Beasts, because they are randomly generated. However, creating a race of forgotten beasts with tons of castes to sustain the feel of the timeless monsters should be possible. I could also be completely incorrect.

Er, atleast I think that's right.

A species with a buttload of castes should work, most of the time. Although, if you make a mistake that causes all materials of the creature to become "unknown creature frozen substance," it becomes really, really hard to find said error. @_@

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Someone modded in a demon civ using the raws of 32 generated demon types from a world as castes, so I think it should definitely be pretty easy for someone versatile with raws. Random-generation, not so much :(

Note: this guy's demon tribes never lost a battle, and I think they may have enslaved the entire world or something. Anyyway, an FB civ would not be too balanced in worldgen battles.

The creature IDs for demons, forgotten beasts and other randomly generated creatures are available. Create an entity file with: CREATURE:DEMONx or CREATURE:FBx (I think these are correct?) where x is a number between 1 and however many were generated at world creation.
