I call bugs on this.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Still isn't working. Just says average in size or just incredible muscular when fully buffed. Wish the broad description thing would work as it somehow already works and yet none of my fixed values work. Somebody please help with this because I have no idea at this point and I've been trying to solve it for months now. All of my creatures are supposed to have fixed body values and body broadness mentioned in the descriptions and can't for the life of me use this brain of mine to figure out why the default randomization gets you the broad body description and my fixed values don't. Is that bug with descriptions still prevalent?

So I'm trying to make cats into adamantine... Do I need to make new templates for every tissue and then a new plan for that?

Can you stick [LOCAL_POPS_PRODUCE_HEROES] on any wild animal? For example, could you put it on a brown bear and suddenly a brown bear shows up to join a fortress?

To name raw files, do I pick the filename prefix based on the first tag of the raw?

So a file starting with "[Creature:Jotunn" tag could be named "creature_Jotunn.txt", and a file starting with "[Entity:Jotunn" could be named "entity_Jotunn.txt" and a file starting with "[Plant:Snowbulb" could be named "entity_Snowbulb.txt", right?

These are the filenames I'm using for Arctic Additions at the moment, if anyone wants to double check:

Okay, I'm totally lost here. What am I doing wrong?

PIDGEY:Unrecognized Creature Token: STATE_NAME_ADJ
PIDGEY:Unrecognized Creature Token: STATE_NAME_ADJ

It seems to be the same as the honey bee's material templates...

Try taking the underscore out of FEATHER_PIDGEY.

I don't see how that would change anything unless FEATHERPIDGEY is also a thing.

The prefix is required, and you can have any suffix you like so long as it is unique.  The easiest way to keep it unique is to base it on your mod's name so that it's unlikely to collide with anyone else's work.  The name on the first line ought to match the filename, but strictly speaking it will work even if they don't.

In very odd cases, most of which involve creature variations, you might care what order the raws parse.  Within a prefix-type, raws are processed in alphabetical order based on the name on the first line.  So, if you wanted to make an AERO mod that makes flying variants of a lot of vanilla creatures, you might need to use creature_z_AERO.txt, but in the vast majority of modding situations the name is just for identification.

Is it possible to set up tissues to either change color once a year or else grow long before becoming short again once a year? Or are both tissue growths and tissue color change a one way only thing?

I'm just trying to simulate seasonal color changes on a creature that can be seen in both adventure mode and fortress mode since transformations would be wonky in the former.

Basically I am trying to change the size of black mamba men to be the same size as dwarves. I looked in the creature_tropical_new.txt and noticed there was only body size parameters under the black mamba itself, not the black mamba man or large black mamba. Then i remembered that it works on a conversion table. I might sound stupid but i tried to do some math with the sizes of animals and such to see what the tables multiply by, but gave up because I want to change the black mamba man size itself without affecting the black mambas size.

I'm having trouble getting syndrome breaths working- the interaction itself works, but the syndrome effects only happen for a split second.

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong

here's the raws

This isn't even the first time this has happened: no syndrome breaths I give to any creature seem to work.

If I were to make a guess, perhaps the syndrome timing stuff is just too short.

I don't think so, but you might be able to do something similar with eggs or unusual eggs or something like that.

Er, atleast I think that's right.
