Modding help
« on: November 21, 2013, 03:10:02 am »

I'm new to modding, I can edit the languages perfectly however... I have been having some trouble with creatures.

[CREATURE:STONEFOLK:]
       [DESCRIPTION: A tall violent nearly unintelligent creature. It brutally slaughters anything it encounters...]
       [NAME:stonefolk:stonemen:stone-born]
       [CAST_NAME:stonefolk:stonemen:stone-born]
       [CREATURE TILE:S] [COLOR:0:0:1]
       [FREQUENCY:10]
       [GRASSTRAMPLE:90]
       [HASNERVES]
       [NOMEAT]
       [NOVOMIT]
       [NOPAIN]
       [NOEMOTION]
       [WEBIMMUNE]
       [BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2ARMS:2LEGS:2HANDS:5FINGERS:3TOES:BRAIN:SKULL:RIBSCAGE:HEART:4LUNGS:ORGANS:SPINE:TEETH:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:MOUTH:]
       [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RELSIZES]
       [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RIBCAGE_POSITIONS]
       [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:BODY_SPINE_TISSUE_LAYERS]
       [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:CHITIN_TISSUES]
       [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_HEAD_POSITIONS]
       [BODY_SIZE:0:0:50000]
       [BODY_SIZE:10:0:400000]
       [BODY_SIZE:20:0:1000000]
       [BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:WEIGHT:60:70:85:100:110:120:140]
       [BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFER:HEIGHT:80:85:90:100:110:115:120]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:ARMS:STONE_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:ARMS:STONE_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:LEGS:STONE_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LEGS:STONE_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BRAIN:BRAIN_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:LUNG:LUNG_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HEART:HEART_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:BRAIN:BRAIN_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:LUNG:LUNG_TEMPLATE]
       [USE_TiSSUE_TEMPLATE:HEART:HEART_TEMPLATE]
       [TENDONS:STONE_TEMPLATE:50]
       [LIGAMENTS:METAL_TEMPLATE:100]
       [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]
       [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]
       [MAXAGE:30:50]
       [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]
       [ATTACK_SKILL:STRIKE]
       [ATTACK_SKILL:WRESTLING]
       [ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
       [ATTACK_SKILL:GRASP_STRIKE]
       [ATTACK_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE]

That is it. The problems I have been having is it's invincible, if the head is attacked "It passes through!" and the only thing that happens to it's other body parts is they break and fracture (Being stone men :3.) I want them to be able to die only through bleeding out or getting the head knocked hard. If someone could edit that so that these are true then I can study them and bother you no more :3

Also, you don't seem to understand tissues. The second thing isn't a body part, it's the tissue name. Check it:
