Tried to create trolls... got ogres
« on: December 22, 2009, 05:19:27 pm »
ok. so i was trying to mod once again. I wanted to have Trolls as playable civilization in dwarf mode and adventure mode. Basically i just copied Dark Dwarves from the wiki but made them bigger and added them few more weapons that dwarves couldn't use. well after i was satisfied with the raws, i generated new world (really small one to save time) but to my surprise, there was ogres that couldnt even speak...

and there seems to be something wrong with some of their clothes because everytime i visit their fortress some of their leather clothes burn away and they die in some strange clouds. and that happens every time i visit it, its not just like every1 wearing leather dies instantly but only some, one or two and one or two random guys walks into deadly mist that comes from burning clothes. same happens with goblins.

can any1 help me with this problem?

That sounds pretty strange. Did you remember to create an entity entry for your trolls? And would you care to post the creature and entity entries?

Also, are there any other mods you're using with this?

That sounds like a duplicate entry error. You probably gave your trolls the same ID as the trolls the trolls already in the game. Best check your errorlog to verify, and if it's the case, change the creature ID to something like TROLL2 in the creature and entity raws.

Change "CREATURE:TROLL", in both instances that it appears, to something else (eg, "CREATURE:CIVTROLL").

Also remember to remove CIV_CONTROLLABLE from any other entities.

TROLL already exists in vanilla.
Duplicate entries tend to cause wacky things that don't have anything to do with the affected entries to occur.
For instance, cave crocodiles living in apartments and purring maggot fortresses.
Give yours a unique identifier.

You can have more than one CIV_CONTROLLABLE entity. It might make it easier to start with the race you want, though, especially if there's multiple races with the same town type.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
