Adding War training to a creature?
« on: April 12, 2013, 11:17:10 pm »

Hey
So I had a Giant eagle in my last fortress but you cannot war train giant eagles :(.
It just occurred to me that I could go into the RAWs and add it. If I come into another incident like this, would it be possible just to find the creature and add the War training tag and then just play normally? Or would it require me to generate a whole new world?

You'd have to generate a whole new world unfortunately :(

Err... Modifying creatures does not need a new world, provided you modified the raws in the worlds save folder and not the main one that all new worlds use.

I've done this to kill keas multiple times. Because they annoyed me very much at the time.

How do you find the RAWs of an individual world?

To add trainability to any creature just open up the data/save/regionX/raw/objects/"file that contains your creature".txt and add [TRAINABLE] to their creature (or TRAINABLE_WAR/TRAINABLE_HUNTING for just enabling training for war and hunting respectively). Then just restart DF and and you should be fine.
