He wasn't responding to you, you doof.

Are the POPULATION_NUMBER and Biome tokens compatible with the NIGHT_CREATURE_BOGEYMAN token?

I don't know how night creatures work exactly, but I checked inside the exe. The hunters and bogeymen both have defined biomes, but no population number tokens.

hi can someone make me a tiny mod that adds a syndrome-bearing cloud that will polymorph anything caught in the cloud in to something random? also can you make it appear at night? thanks if you can!

1. Random polymorph is a no (though I technically *have* made a lua script that does it, it can't trigger on syndrome)
2. There is no night, at least in dorf mode.

Is it possible through modding to exercise some control over Forgotten Beasts? I am working on a minor mod to add more interesting drops to DF's more dangerous supernatural fauna. If all goes well they will be dropping a ridiculously valuable "Heart of Change" gemstone.

[Putnam]

Not in that way, no. I think you may be able to add bodyparts to their list (that's what _RCP means, I think), but I haven't tested that.

[scamtank]

Normally I'd say no too, but that localization patcher opened up new avenues to alter hardcoded stuff like vampires and forgotten beasts. I haven't actually tried adding entirely new tags, but you might just be able to piggyback a CORPSE_ITEM tag along with something else.

[Putnam]

No, not really. It only allows replacing, not adding.

And yes, *technically* you can replace entire tokens on hardcoded things, but I'm not sure which you would.

Kind of.  We did some testing awhile back and forced some errors to get your own beasts in...they just aren't random.  I haven't worked with it much recently, but give it a read and see if you can get something you want going.

what i want is a adventure mode mod for the cloud that spawns at night,would it be possible to make several clouds that each polymorph the creature into a certain creature

1. Spawning at night isn't possible.
2. Yeah, but it'll be both day and night.

[blazing glory]

 okay i guess i will have to do with several polymorphing clouds that appears during day and night if possible

[blazing glory]

hang on after looking at the tags on the wiki i think i will take a crack at making a creature that give's a syndrome though i will still appricate it if you could create a few transforming clouds

[blazing glory]

well my attempt was more or less a sucess execpt i'm using a transformation syndrome and whatever i do the creature always transforms into a toad! i want my custom race! not a toad

[Meph]

Toad is the first creature in the raws, alphabetically... (creature_amphibian.txt), so your creature ID in the transformation is wrong. it must be CREATURE_ID:CASTE_ID, for example DOG:MALE.

Question, I've been wanting to get my dorfs to worship a god dedicated to a God of Plump Helmets, but reading the wiki implies that spheres are hardcoded. So adding [RELIGION_SPHERE:PLUMP_HELMETS] will not work. Is there a way to get my dorfs to worship the most vital crop? Well I'm gonna go experiment.

Genned a few worlds with [RELIGION_SPHERE:PLUMP_HELMETS]. Nothing really changed :/

How can I add a sphere dedicated to Plump Helmets...
