Hey.

I do a little bit of modding for DF, just changing things to my liking. Anyways, so I modded dragons some, firstly giving them wings, then making them able to breed, and finally making them different colors. Here is how I did the color thing:

Basically, I just copy and pasted each of the castes, then changed the color. It appears to work perfectly, but unfortunately the dragon tile is still a green D. I want to make it so each caste has it's own color tile, meaning that, for example, the red dragons would have red D's, and blue ones would have blue D's. I don't know if this is possible or not. I was thinking to just move the [CREATURE_TILE:'D'][COLOR:2:0:0] tokens to each caste, and change the colors, but I don't know if this will work, and I don't want to break my game.

Thanks.

Your aren't too far off, but the token you want is [CASTE_COLOR:#:#:#]

You don't need the [CREATURE_TILE:'D'] token in every caste, just in the base of the creature raws, before castes are defined.

everything to do with caste customization

Anything that is TYPE of CREATURE means it's a creature standard token just like TISSUEs and MATERIALs no matter where they are placed in the creature it will have those tokens

Thanks guys! This should help a lot!

EDIT: Here are my new caste raws (I removed the [COLOR:2:0:0] token from in front of the [CREATURE:TILE] token):

For the black one, I made it dark grey. I think this will work, and I will go test it now.

EDIT2: It worked!

Note that you cannot make caste-specific creature graphics. I think that they can be different colors though.

I don't use creature graphics anyway, or any graphics for that matter. I prefer ASCII.
