So I'm working on a mod that uses races and creatures from another game I play, as I'm planning on running a succession game.

Things were working fine for a while. I had occasional problems, but by gutting beards for now I've got everything stable. I decided to add the last few races and now...everyone's blood is gone! When attacked, they leak a dark gray fluid that crashes the game if I try to look at/interact with it. Basically any time its name would display, the game craps itself. The errorlog shows no problems.

Any thoughts? If I can get this down, it'll be easy for other people to make mods that allow for multiracial civs as well.

Blood (among other things) is found in the material_template_default.txt file in the raws directory...

It should look like this:

I wonder what's the bug here. I've made many castes too (for mutants) and I get the same problem.

[Deon]

OK, I've figured it out. Try to replicate the material/tissue tokens' positions from the dwarven entity. Relative positions of your tokens cause the blood not being hooked up (probably it doesn't pick "standart materials" so it cannot pick the blood.

I couldn't figure out my error, so I just reworked the creature entry from scratch, using antmen as a base (I mean the position of their tokens within their entry) and it started to work.

Worked like a dream. I should even be able to get beards and hairstyles back, now. Thanks!

[Grimlocke]

Have you gotten them to stop interbreeding/marying? Elves coming from a dwarf and a gnome would be rather weird.

[Koji]

No, I don't think there's a way to stop them from breeding and having random-caste children at the moment.

I've run into another problem, though. I got the blood to work just fine, but no matter how I shuffle it around, I can't get hairstyles to work! I don't know what's missing or what's wrong! Everything else works great, but it's driving me nuts that hairstyles (and beards) don't work!

I've removed beards at the moment, but hairstyles should work, they just refuse to.

Here's the offending code:

      

Code: [Select]

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:HAIR]

[Grimlocke]

Well, there is nothing in this whole file defining beard and other facial hairstyles, so its a given that they arnt there. That piece of raws you posted only defines headhair.

I would suggest just doing what default dwarves have; put [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:FACIAL_HAIR_TISSUE_LAYERS] in the cast, then later use this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:HAIR]
[PLUS_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:CHEEK_WHISKERS] <--- these and the 3 below define facial hair. Your file doesnt have them. Castes without facial hair detail plan will ignore them.

Note that hairstyles and such are defined in the ENTITY file.

You are like 100% the most helpful guy I have ever encountered on these forums. Thanks! I got it all working now.

[Deon]

I just like to spend a lot of time in the Modding forum, and I like answering questions. I'm Glad to hear it works.
