my creature will act normally then just stop moving all the sudden anyone know why?

Post the RAWs. Can't do much to help otherwise.

[Splint]

The problem is that the aren't appearing at all, while all the others work fine. I even make sure to ramp up the civ counts, still nada.

I'll try the biome tag change though.

[Zombiecow99]

oh yeah. Its just happening on this caste of a creature.

      This means that the attack will use as much of the available tissue as possible, rather than, say, thrusting with a spike.

      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:80]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]

   [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:FINGER:NAIL:FRONT]

   Set up some major arteries that couldn't be handled in the raw templates.  The selection commands can be used to grab tissue layers to adjust their properties after they have been created.

   [SELECT_TISSUE_LAYER:HEART:BY_CATEGORY:HEART]
    [PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER:SKIN:BY_CATEGORY:THROAT]
      [TL_MAJOR_ARTERIES]

   Then back to some more body detail plans.

   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RIBCAGE_POSITIONS]
   [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:HUMANOID_RELSIZES]
   [RELSIZE:BY_CATEGORY:LIVER:300] Of course!  Standard relative size for humanoids is 200.

   Tendons and ligaments are currently very abstract, but adding these flags will let wounds occur that damage them.  The number afterward is the healing rate.  Lower is faster.

   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:SINEW:SINEW_TEMPLATE]
   [TENDONS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]
   [LIGAMENTS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SINEW:200]

   This makes the creature susceptible to severed nerves when muscles are torn in limb, grasp and stance parts.

   [HAS_NERVES]

   This controls the bleeding behavior.

   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BLOOD:BLOOD_TEMPLATE]
   [BLOOD:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:BLOOD:LIQUID]

   These classes are used by syndromes (such as poison) as well as some restricted entity positions.  You can name them whatever you want.

   [CREATURE_CLASS:GENERAL_POISON]

   Some tags to control the overall infection behavior.

   [GETS_WOUND_INFECTIONS]
   [GETS_INFECTIONS_FROM_ROT]
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:PUS:PUS_TEMPLATE]
   [PUS:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:PUS:LIQUID]

[Putnam]

When creatures get too hot, they stop moving. Make sure that caste has a bunch of unique materials that cannot catch fire.

[Zombiecow99]

And do you know how hot that would be?

[Zombiecow99]

I changed all the materials so they are fireproof but they still stop moving.

[ThatZommy]

I've been modding a rather irritating creature that's stupidly over complicated, so of course there is an issue. However, due to my lack of knowledge on tissue and material modding, I've no idea what it is and it is crashing the game. I've probably made an obvious mistake, but I can't see it. Anybody else know what it is?
This is the material/tissue bit for the creature, which is the one thing I've changed before the game began crashing.

If this isn't the issue I can post the entire creature, though they are scattered all across the raws. Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and it crashes upon loading up tissues while starting arena mode. The metal exists, I've made sure that I saved it correctly.

[Putnam]

First, make sure the tissue and material templates both exist

[ThatZommy]

They do.
Edited, I think the problem is fixed. Stupid me forgot that I changed the names of the body parts, so of course the game had no idea what I was telling it.

[StagnantSoul]

Hey, can I change the name of Axelord and stuff with this? Or is that hard coded? Just wondering.

[StagnantSoul]

I know, I was wondering if I could change axe lord to something else. Pretty sure I can.

[Putnam]

...yes, the exact way all those things change it

[StagnantSoul]

Thanks. I assumed I could, but my assumptions are often very wrong.

[Ulfgard]

So long as I'm sure I'm editing the correct creature entry, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much does it matter where in a creature's entry I add a token? It's been a few months since last I poked around in the raws, but I goofed and overwrote the changes I'd made and now have to do it all over.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually matter, but I figured it would be better to check now rather than set myself up for constant crashing because I buggered the raws when I tried to go back through and restore them to their previous state.
