I'm having some trouble with this creature. I just want them to have beards like dwarves, but instead, I keep getting two separate head-hairs. In the testing arena, their description comes out something like, "Their hair is extremely long. Their hair is extremely long." And dwarves don't have that, even without special styled or braided beard hair. So I'm wondering what's wrong with my creature? Any help?

It's really easy to get into Coc; trust me, all you need is one taste of Coc and you'll be begging for more! I wasn't even sure I would like Coc until after I got a taste, and now I'm all about Coc!

Y'know, there should really be a better abbreviation for Call of Cthulhu.

The noun is "hair" instead of something more specific. Like sideburns.

How does the hide self effect work?
INTERACTION:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
CREATURE:

It doesn't produce an error message, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all either.

You seem to have forgotten the [I_TARGET] block and haven't specified [IE_TARGET]. Or is that not required? I was under the impression it is.

It's a buyers market. The author writes what sells, catering to the lowly demands of uneducated masses. In this case, apparently, charioteers.

Can we get migrant sponge cooks, a squid for bookkeeper, a starfish peasants, squirrel mechanics, vermin invaders, and cook roast crab meats?

I would like to ask if somebody would look at what I have, as whenever I put it in, weird stuff such as crashes, that after I try to reload the world It immediately crashes after Preparing text objects or Preparing graphics, at which point it CTD once again.
To see if maybe I could capture on what I could do, I used a recording software and recorded the whole thing, checking frame by frame around the crash time, only to find it going around that spot in time.
To me, I wouldn't see graphics creating a game breaking bug, nor I would see slabs or necromancy things making a gamebreaking one too.
I tried deleting the entity file, only to find that It didnt even allow the game to load the world, so that idea is thrown out the window.
I tried starting from base vanilla, adding only the two mods, (Adventurecraft and Solari), and found mine caused problems, however when I read the files, I don't see anything wrong with it, I even compared it with humans, only to find that It didnt help much. So I dont really know what to do with it.

You have a CDI:CDI:TARGET tag, and are still missing some others.

It's very helpful to just go through the entire interaction page on the wiki and include whatever tokens you need, since you will need most of them.

Hello,

is it at all possible for a creature to have a natural ranged weapon? I've been mucking about with manticores and spinedogs and was wondering if it is possible to give them a natural ranged attack such as shooting spines.

The main issue for now is that for natural ranged options, you only have either blunt projectiles or syndrome-inducing spatters.

edit: I wrote up another plant definition and the game decided guinneafowl must be made of cheese now. Ive verified there arent any missing brackets anywhere now, I have no fucking clue what I've done to deserve this. However, copying them over to a new plant file fixed this. the old one was called plant_eb_subterra.txt and the new one is plant_underground.txt. Is there any reason the game would have a problem with that name?

This bug has reared its ugly head again, this time for someone else:

Has anyone else had this problem recently?
No, but I have noticed that when a spellcraft game finishes loading there's a line "undefined local creature material set to default: GILA_MONSTER CHEESE" in errorlog.txt under raw/objects/creature_spellcrafts_wizard.txt
I never posted about it because I couldn't track it down but considering that file has nothing to do with gila monster cheese it sounded like some memory corruption was going on.

How can I go about testing this better this time? Last time I made sure there weren't any open/closed brackets that didn't have an appropriate partner, which didn't help this issue despite fixing a few of those anyway, and my solution was to move the contents of one file whose creation seemed to correlate to the bug to another file, which worked in a sense that i stopped seeing the error, but it appears there's a deeper issue than just a filename the game doesn't like. Checking out the wizards file is my first stop. I did ask hertggf for a copy of the aberrant df install.

Not sure if I asked this before, but is there a way to make troll like servant races that don't live underground? I ask this question so I can add in my own kinds for my Goblinoids (and Orcs) Mod.
