The orcs won't die... even after being deleted!
« on: July 12, 2009, 10:01:05 pm »

Cross-posted from the Gameplay Questions forum where I mistakenly posted this.

So I decided orcs weren't for me. I wanted a military challenge, but was not prepared for the orcs immense strength. I deleted their files from my raws and deleted all my current saves, so the orcs should have been gone from my DF entirely.

I just received a message - "A vile force of darkness has arrived". Orcs are now swarming my unfinished walls (or at least, they would be if they hadn't killed em with DwarfCompanion). I've checked my raw folders, none of the orc raw files are there. I'm positive these worlds are freshly generated after the orcs were deleted. Is there something I forgot to do?

Go to your data/objects folder and delete everything there as well.

Ahh, that explains it. Found some orc files with no extensions. Thanks.

No.

P.S. If the creature has no biome tokens (as it is) it won't show up if you have no civ.

Graphics make nothing by themselves, especially when you have no creatures (they will give only errors).

Your post was irrelevant, Meanmelter (sorry :)). The right answer was to clear the "objects" folder. Eavan passes to the next tour!

Because he deleted the relevant files :). You're right that you should remove that as well to make the game clean, but it won't cause any gameplay errors.
