Is there any way to manipulate what nobles will show up in Hillocks?  In particular, can I make a noble that always shows up, like the mayor, (but not actually another mayor), or can I compel a land_holder not to show up?

[Eric Blank]

Any noble that is on a per-site basis and can be appointed by the expedition leader/mayor in charge will show up there in general. If you dont want one showing up until a landholder has been appointed then ensure only landholders of that rank and up can appoint that position. Land holders show up if the site becomes elligible, i have no idea what the prerequisites are for that in worldgen compared to fort mode play, but i guess you can increase the population and trading necessary to become elligible for becoming a barony, and they should be less frequent or only in larger sites

[SITE] tag should ensure the position appears at all sites (including hillocks). [REQUIRES_MARKET] will ensure it doesn't appear in hillocks. It'll only appear at major sites (fortresses for dwarves). Doesn't actually require a market.

[Tubercular Ox]

Thank you both, a stray REQUIRES_MARKET was my mistake.  Letting a land holder appoint a noble that does not require a market does what I want.

Since this is a creature thing I'll ask it here.

I'm trying to make a mod humanoid race where the males have horns but the females don't have them. I've tried adding a second body plan, attack, tissue material, etc... under [CASTE:MALE] but that only made my game crash when starting. I saw the minotaur and troll raws and their horns get defined under the [BODY:] tag, but I just don't know how make it restricted to a single caste.

I also tried to have the hors have variable LENGTH and THICKNESS but again, since it crashed I don't know what was the issue. It continued crashing after I removed it so it mustn't be the case. But I'd like to know how to make horns of variable length and style, I heard you can make descriptors.

[FantasticDorf]

There's a few things that can throw a spanner into the works about this, first of all id look inside the error log (in the main DF file not raws) for any illegitimate tags or syntax mistakes that might cancel the creature out entirely before jumping at the body modification at hand.

Using male sheep = rams ([creature_domestic.txt]) as a reference

Code: [Select]

[CASTE:FEMALE]

[BODY:QUADRUPED_NECK_HOOF:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:MOUTH:TONGUE:GENERIC_TEETH:RIBCAGE]
[CASTE:MALE]
[BODY:QUADRUPED_NECK_HOOF:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:SKULL:MOUTH:TONGUE:GENERIC_TEETH:RIBCAGE:[b]2HEAD_HORN[/b]]
[SELECT_CASTE:ALL]
//&//

[SELECT_CASTE:MALE]
[ATTACK:HGORE:BODYPART:BY_CATEGORY:HORN]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:gore:gores]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
         [SELECT_CASTE:ALL]
As you can see, the code is inserted abstract to the actual castes by typical means though [SELECT_CASTE], because you've stated that it is a male sheep, and then not male sheep then the code is returned to normal with [SELECT_CASTE:ALL]

The male sheep's body plan has "2 head horn" and then the specialist horn attacks written up for it.

My conclusion its a unrelated problem, possibly by not switching back the caste with [SELECT_CASTE:ALL]

[Eктωρ]

I think I get it. I was putting everything under [CASTE] and not using [SELECT_CASTE].


So... I managed to give the horns all the descriptors I wanted, I used the nose one for hooked/upturned and then length and thickness. So I have two questions:

How do I go about changing horn colour? I've tried changing it using those tags with TL like the ones used in hair, eyes and skin but it simply doesn't show up on the creatures afterwards.

Can I make a custom descriptor? For example, I want to add a range where a low range would mean a "straight" horn and a high range would mean a "spiralled" horn. Can I even do this without using workarounds like making a colour descriptor?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

What does your Errorlog say?

Code: [Select]

[SET_TL_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HORN:HORN] <- Bodypart Category, and then TISSUE. You can use ALL:HORN but that'd change it for all bodyparts that have HORN tissues
[TL_COLOR_MODIFIER:BROWN:1:BURNT_UMBER:1:CINNAMON:1:COPPER:1:DARK_BROWN:1:DARK_PEACH:1:DARK_TAN:1:ECRU:1:PALE_BROWN:1:PALE_CHESTNUT:1:PALE_PINK:1:PEACH:1:PINK:1:RAW_UMBER:1:SEPIA:1:TAN:1:TAUPE_PALE:1:TAUPE_SANDY:1]
        ^^^ Colors as per usual make sure you it goes COLOR:FREQ (RED:1) if you accidently go 1:RED that's an error, there is no color ID'd as '1'
[TLCM_NOUN:horns:PLURAL] <- how it's described in the creature text
Edit and sorry, no BP modifier for Spiraled, only these options
CLOSE_SET, DEEP_SET, ROUND_VS_NARROW, LARGE_IRIS,THICKNESS,BROADNESS, LENGTH, UPTURNED, CONVEX,SPLAYED_OUT, HANGING_LOBES, HEIGHT,GAPS, HIGH_CHEEKBONES, BROAD_CHIN, JUTTING CHIN, SQUARE_CHIN,DEEP_VOICE, RASPY_VOICE

SO i want to make a creature very fat, do I have to just use broadness? Or is there something specific i can change to make something extra fat?
(making trolls from overlord)

[TomiTapio]

thicker skin, thicker fat layer.
   [SELECT_TISSUE:FAT][RELATIVE_THICKNESS:3]
   [SELECT_TISSUE:SKIN][RELATIVE_THICKNESS:2]
do not boost muscle:
   [SELECT_TISSUE:MUSCLE][RELATIVE_THICKNESS:3]

Is there a way to make an entity settle in savage areas?

Due to how BDPs work, they can override Relative Thickness of tissues. So unless he wants to TISSUE_LAYER every part, he'd need to make his own "FAT" BDP where the fat layer is larger

I don't think it works with [SAVAGE], but try adding it to the creature of the entity, like with GOOD and EVIL.

[scourge728]

Does [SAVAGE] effect cave animals? need to know for my giant/animal man extension mod

EDIT: Also, will removing that body replacement on bat men break it if I use the rest for bugbats?
EDIT2: So, apperently [CV_REMOVE_TAG:ARENA_RESTRICTED] only works on giant variations, and not on animal men variations, and I don't know why....

What triggers a demon at the heart of a civilization?  The DARK_FORTRESSes?  Is it possible to make a more neutral civ with a similar start, or is the demon always going to throw things off?
