Embark as custom Race
« on: February 03, 2013, 03:51:13 pm »
I've been toying around with modding a custom race into my game in order to play as an adventurer but I also was trying to make them a civilization that I could embark as. I've gotten them into the game and they set up their own civs (I did it on a pocket world to quickly be able to gen a new world in order to have the civ there) and they do exist! They are a city/fort thing! But for some reason I can't embark as them or even play as them in adventurer. I've made a race before in which I am allowed to be an adventurer but I'm not sure why I can't be my new custom race.

Here is the race in Entitydefault and creature standard:

The only problem I see is that you have [INTELLIGENT] and [EQUIPS] in your entity, as well as a natural skill of 48 in dodging (!!), which isn't right, but those shouldn't cause problems.

You also seem to think that all those entity tokens are subordinate to [CREATURE:ARCANIAN], which isn't quite right either, but, again, shouldn't cause problems.

Whoaaa!! I didn't notice that!!!! The natural skill one should NOT be that high :P I'm pretty sure I meant 4! Thank you for pointing that one out. I figured out what was wrong. For some odd reason I had the entity name the same as that of another race I had created. Thanks Putnam! :D You've saved me on many different occurrences now :)

Also: Will everything else with the world work correctly such as migrants, caravans, liaisons, sieges? There are other civilizations of my custom race out and about but when I check the civilization screen I'm all by myself!

Woot! I also had an issue with my custom race going to sleep and well...staying that way :p but I think I figured it out, after looking around the forums someone else had a similar issue and people pointed out that after adding [NOSTUN] it caused dwarves/custom races to sleep and never wake up.
