Anything in the errorlog?

Also, if the code you posted above hasn't been changed, then the diamond is incorrect.

[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:DIAMOND]

Should be:

[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:DIAMOND_CLEAR]

yha I fixed the tissue a while ago.

Mmmmm............wait....well well, well. what do we have here?

"data/save/region2/raw/objects/creature_a_working_on.txt"
CRYSTIN:Tissue layer not added because no BP found: BY_CATEGORY:EYES:DIAMOND_CLEAR

You changed the tissue's name, not the tissue's material. Please facepalm yourself for brushing off BlackFlyme's criticism.

A quick search through the body file tells me you want CATEGORY:EYE, not EYES.

I did not brush off his criticism. I just did not notice my mistake in naming.

I felt very silly when I realized that my own criticism didn't quiet the errorlog.

Well, after many many many tests, what stopped the local wildlife from spawning turned out to be... *dun dun dun* the CURIOUSBEAST tags! Yes, all of them. Which makes literally no sense whatsoever. Seriously, I'm so confused as to how those tags actually affect spawning in any way - let alone how keas and other curious beasts don't seem to have any of these problems in vanilla. Argh.

Does anyone know any other tags will make the creatures go towards the fortress? Sort of like how Werebeasts track towards the nearest victim. Right now, the hostile wildlife is just meandering about until they happen to stumble across a nearby dwarf, which... isn't really threatening at all.


Edit - Come to think of it, what makes cats wander about everywhere, while other pets stay near meeting areas?

Probably [HUNTS_VERMIN] or whatever. Vermin move around. Cats follow.

If i use

Code: [Select]

[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_MATERIALS]
[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:STANDARD_TISSUES]will

Code: [Select]

[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:BONE:EXAMPLEMATERIAL]overwrite what the bone tissue or cause an error?

[BlackFlyme]

In my experience, it will overwrite the body detail plan. So long as the USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE tag comes after the body detail plan, that is.

This is because the last tag will (usually) overwrite earlier tags.

thanks, now, if i overwrite the raws of a current save that already contains a creature, but i change what a tissue material is made of, will it retcon it on existing creatures, or will it require a new world to function?

[BlackFlyme]

Varies. So long as you don't add entirely new things, or completely remove things, then an existing world should be fine. I'd recommend not altering active syndromes or entities though. Syndromes tend to crash on me, and we don't entirely know what can and can't be changed on an entity in a save.

I don't know what would or wouldn't get retconned on existing creatures, but newly created units should reflect changes.

added new material templates... so i am going to need a new world.
two sets templates of bone/nail/horn/hoof/cartilage/leather/tooth/shell/chitin , one with the impact/torsion/compressive/bend/standard yeild/strain/fracture or steel, another with that of adamant, which the adamant i am not planning on using, but may make all of these available to random gen monsters if i can figure out how... didn't alter densities/absorption/heats/etc, did give them all    [ITEMS_HARD] if they didn't have it already.

What is it that makes something spawnable in the Arena, that magma crabs and prodcedurally-generated creatures lack?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

[ARENA_RESTRICTED]??

So it's more of "What do they have, that prevent them from being spawnable"
