I know I am probobly going to sound like a DF noobie sawing this, but can I get help with adding different monters to the spawnlist? Tips appreciated.

A 'noobie'? Huh.

Spawn list? Assuming you mean adventurer mode... It would mean some modding, so the modding board would be your best bet for something.
But I am actually an adequate modder myself, so:

You will need to create an entity for your adventurer by adding the following to entity_default.txt:

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:MONSTERS]
 [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] this means you can control an individual (outsider) from this entity
 [CREATURE:ALLIGATOR] this can be changed to any creature you want, like SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT.
I think there's something missing there, I'll check and then update this.

Next, you need to generate a new world, and it will include your cave spider or minotaur or alligator or bronze colossus nonsense.
Have fun!

Thanks for the help! I am testing it now.


Edit:It works! But it appears as if I can only have one non-sentient being on the list at once. Is there any way to fix this?

[Orange Wizard]

Nope, that's the way the raws work.
I assume more creatures could be added to the list in this fashion:

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:MONSTERS]
 [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
 [CREATURE:ALLIGATOR]
 [CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]
 [CREATURE:MAN_MAGMA]
... and so on.

Actually,that works. I put it into the entity_defaults and I have more than one monster on the list.Thanks for the info.
