Ah, I almost forgot! I should be using AS_IS:ANIMATED tags instead of AS_IS:ZOMBIE tags. Silly me.

Thanks for helping out again, Putnam! I haven't touched any of this graphical business in half a year so I'm still rusty.

[Godsnose]

Is there a modding program that will allow me to change every creature raw at the same time?
Or do i need to insert my 2 lines of code individually?
I'm already half done, but there has gotta be a easier way to do this.

just tested
[EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:BY_TYPE:UPPERBODY]
      [EBO_ITEM:TOY:LESSER_SOUL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]
and
 [EXTRA_BUTCHER_OBJECT:BY_CATEGORY:UPPERBODY]
 [EBO_ITEM:TOY:LESSER_SOUL:INORGANIC:BRONZE]

and neither work. I should have tested it before i changed anything. Any one have an idea whats wrong?
turns out you need to define the body part before you can designate an extra butcher object to it. makes sense.

Is there any way to increase the cost of wax? I feel wax should be worth at least as much as flux stone.

Go into the bee's raws and alter their wax value.

[Deon]

Like any other material, the wax has [MATERIAL_VALUE:X].

You can either follow BlackFlyme's suggestion, or alter the cost of the WAX_TEMPLATE in the material_template_default.txt.

Thanks! After setting up my 61st hive and finding out I can only have 60 running hives, I find wax crafts a bit down there under all the dolomite, billon, gold, mussel shell, and large gem crafts.

How would one go about adding an interaction to a creature to allow it to raise the dead in the same manner as a necromancer? Is this possible via modding?

[DragonDePlatino]

Work continues on my graphics set...I've identified and drawn 121 professions, but a few still have me scratching my head. Could someone please tell me if any professions are missing from this list or if I should remove the ones with bullets next to them?

Kinda sure the now un-spoilered ones are. FORCED_ADMINISTRATOR is the leader of a conquered place. I've seen a few creatures that hunt beasts as a profession(BEAST_HUNTER). PRISONERs can be freed to be companions. The goblins' trolls might be considered SLAVEs.

Is there anything in particular you have to do to make a creature appear in the arena? My modded-in creature won't appear on the list for spawning creatures in the arena and I'd like to test my creature to make sure it doesn't instantly melt or something silly like that.

There is a tag that specifically prevents its appearance, but if you don't have that then there is another problem.

A creature needs to be in a txt file in the objects folder with a file name starting "creature_". There should be a "creature_" line as well at the start of the file (I forget why but it's important). On a following line you need "[OBJECT:CREATURE]" on a following line to that "[CREATURE:IDHERE]". If all those conditions aren't met your creature will never appear anywhere.

The arena creature list doesn't sort alphabetically by the caste-name(what you see in the creature list) but by (IIRC) creature-name. The filter sorts by caste-name though.

((Also the part I said goes in the DWARF creature goes into the creature that does the necromancing. Don't know why I read 'creature' as 'dwarves'))

Silly question, but does it have [ARENA_RESTRICTED]?

For more serious questions, does it have a [NAME] and a [CASTE_NAME]?

Is the file format correct?

[Arcvasti]

No, it lacked an [OBJECT:CREATURE] tag at the top. Works perfectly now. Thanks~!

[Arcvasti]

Having trouble adding a new bodypart.

Code: [Select]

[BODY:Staff]
[BP:STAFF:staff:STP][CONTYPE:HAND][CATEGORY:STAFF][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:300]

I want to attach this to the hand as a bodypart. Am I doing this wrong?

[ArKFallen]

DFFD is doomed
or not. Attention needs to be grabbed across the forum though.
