Hello, I am a lurker of these forums and I regularly play adventure mode, although I am a fort mode newb, I still love this damn game with a burning passion. !!FUN!! events have lead me to discover recently that while I thought forgotten beasts were just myth, they are -not- infact. They are quite real and they quite want to kill everything in their path.

These unique creatures fascinate and amaze me, and because I recently started playing again after a long hiatus, I found Dfhack. I tried to go for the whole 'bodyswap untill you find a forgotten beast to steal while in adventure mode', and it didn't go really all that well. I ended up getting 'cuddled to death' by a giant tiger, then I fast traveled. When I'd found an underground labyrinth I stopped fast traveling, and was suddenly forcibly thrust into the body of a naked mole rat some countless levels below the ground.

I found a post on the forums saying "I believe you can make an entity that references [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_X], [CREATURE:DEMON_X], and [CREATURE:NIGHT_CREATURE_X], replacing the X's with numbers counting up to the maximum number in your world (so 1,2,3 etc.). Other then that the only way that I know of involves exporting the FB and night creature raws, placing them in the normal raws, and then regenerating a new world."

But that was the last post in that thread and It had no explination of how to do so, and I don't know how to make custom entities. Heck, I can barely mod things into the game without tearing apart other code and shoving them in, and my custom 'mods' were not exactly something urist mcplayer would want to download, nor were they completely functional the way I wanted. Think 'Anatomically correct', and 'Pervert', and you might figure out what I did. Hah.

I still make mods by tearing other mods apart and shoving them together

Like this (put in entity_default, since it's your own mod not for release):

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_PLAYABLE_ADV_P]
    [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_1]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_2]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_3]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_4]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_5]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_6]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_7]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_8]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_9]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_10]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_11]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_12]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_13]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_14]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_15]
    [CREATURE:FORGOTTEN_BEAST_16]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_1]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_2]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_3]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_4]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_5]
    [CREATURE:DEMON_6]

The night creatures are a bit different and I've forgotten specifically what they are.

[Atomisk]

Thank you very much Putnam! I am glad as busy a modder as you are you still find time to help urist mcnublets like myself.

EDIT: Weird. I put it where ya told me, then created a new world as I know must be done when things are altered, loaded up adventure mode, and can't make a beast? Testing with default world building parameters as i created a custom pocket world at first.

EDIT 2: Nope, i've created a few worlds now and still nothing shows on the character creation screen.

[Putnam]

Check the errorlog, I may have done something dumb.

[Atomisk]

There's nothing in the errorlog D:... Off topic: I downloaded your Fortbent mod and it's crashing on me constantly XD

[Putnam]

Check the errorlog, I may have done something dumb

Anyway... try adding this token right below [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] (indentation doesn't matter)

[ADVENTURE_TIER:30593]

(I flailed around my numkey randomly, not likely to find anything similar in a different mod, it'll work)

[Atomisk]

There's NOTHING in the errorlog except this: path fail: dwarf,Return Kill,106,178,71 -> 111,181,72: Id #170:Path Goal Grab Kill:Station Mill Building at 103,64,69

And that was a hunting error from a previous fortress I was playing. Notibly I am using the lazy newb pack, but i don't think that matters as I tried all this with the base game and it didn't work.

[Putnam]

(It was a joke about the Fortbent thing)

[Atomisk]

Oh... Well there's this.

*** Error(s) finalizing the interaction LORD_ENGLISH_POSSESS
Error Initializing Text: data/speech/fortbent/interactions/honk.txt
*** Error(s) finalizing the interaction LORD_ENGLISH_POSSESS
Error Initializing Text: data/speech/fortbent/interactions/honk.txt
*** Error(s) finalizing the interaction LORD_ENGLISH_POSSESS
Error Initializing Text: data/speech/fortbent/interactions/honk.txt

((Yes, I am using lord english alot.))

[Putnam]

Hmm. That's odd. I don't remember... I don't remember a lot of things, but that shouldn't matter, but why did I never check that?

[Atomisk]

Well I crashed every time i genned a new world if i had already tried playing, i crashed if i went into the oceon. PS: I love how things go flying when you drub them. I got attacked by an aligator and started skipping him across the water.
edit: And Just now i crashed just, opening it. No extra errors appeared...
Edit2: But, There's tons of errors appearing in dfhack..... Is there an errorlog for DFhack?

[Putnam]

Well, that happens sometimes.

[Atomisk]

Anyway, Let me know when you figure out the problem with my forgotten beast entity... Though for now playing as Caliborn is sure satisfying my lust for power. XD

[Putnam]

Did you try the adventure tier thing?

[Atomisk]

Yes I did, and still no results.
