What exactly does [LIGHT_GEN] do, anyway?

It's an old holdover from 40d. Right now I think about all that it does is make your creature able to see better in adventure mode.

I'll have to test. I hoped it would make the creature generate a ring of light around it (so you could see it in the distance in the caverns or at night) but guess not. Not even campfires or magma can do that right now.

[LIGHT_GEN] also makes creatures visible in not yet discovered terrain. For example I do use fireflies with light gen in the first cavern, vermin that always spawns, so that people can see were the caverns start, to avoid digging into it by accident.

[WillowLuman]

They do? Well crap, that might be a problem.

EDIT: CRAP! double post!

Can I see a screenie of what that looks like?

It's the creature's tile in a black void.

Hmm, I added it to all cavern creatures to test but it doesn't seem to be working after a few months.

Do you have their code? Might help find the problem.

[WillowLuman]

NVM, I saw a vermin off in the dark. Guess I'm just missing things.

Does it work on non-vermin?

[Stirk]

Yes, it works on non-vermin.

Does [AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE] override [CRAZED]? The fact that relevant syndromes in vanilla remove the tag implies so, but I haven't tested it.

Biggest DF modding question I always had was how come no one has ever made creature raws for Evangelion's Angels?

[Meph]

Because there are not many anime fans here? DF is western fantasy after all

In:
[CE_FLASH_TILE:TILE:168:3:0:1:FREQUENCY:200:100:START:0:END:100000]
does anyone know what the arguments of "Frequency" do specifically? 
(Wiki says "TILE:tile number:colour:FREQUENCY:?:?")

this one I can probably figure out easily enough by experiment but:
CE_DISPLAY_NAME
NAME:singular:plural:adjective
(Wiki says "Attaches a specified name to the creature's normal name.")
what does that mean to "Attach" a name?

I believe the arguments are "ticks showing normal tile":"ticks showing alt tile", but I'm not sure about that.

Cool, that was my best guess too after looking at how other mods use it.  I'll report back if I can confirm.
