Trying to make imp slaves:
« on: February 16, 2008, 02:43:00 am »
I am trying to make imp slaves - this is my code under domestic - (borrow from cat code)
code:

[CREATURE :DragonImpSlave]
   [NAME :Dragon Imp Slave :Dragon Imp Slaves :Dragon Imp Slave]
   [TILE:'i'][COLOR:6:0:1]
   [VERMINHUNTER]
   [PETVALUE:20]
   [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD]
   [CARNIVORE][NATURAL][PET][EVIL]
   [LARGE_ROAMING]
   [COMMON_DOMESTIC]
   [PREFSTRING:aloofness]
   [BODY:HUMANOID:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH]
   [BODYGLOSS:PAW]
   [SIZE:8]
   [MAXAGE:10:20]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:1:6:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
   [CHILD:7][CHILDNAME:Impito Dragon:Impito Dragon]

   [STANDARD_FLESH]
   [HOMEOTHERM:10070]
   [LAYERING:100]
   [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:2500]

Yet I can't choose them under the embark screen.

this is my first time modding.

Understood, now how would I make it spawn like horses on the main map?

Give it a [BIOME:biome] tag and a [FREQUENCY:number] tag. You can leave out [FREQUENCY] is you want them to be on the map at all times.

EDIT: Forgot about new [BIOME] tag syntax

Looking at it, I'd also either decrease the number in [CHILD:7] or increase the numbers in [MAXAGE:10:20], otherwise you'll end up with baby slaves for 7 years who grow up and may live as breeding adults for as little as three years before dying of old age.

There are three things I know about dwarves:
1. They've got beards. Even the women.
2. They're short. Especially the women.
3. They're Scottish.

code:
[CREATURE:IMP]
   [NAME:imp:imps:imp]
   [SPECNAME:FEMALE:nymph:nymphs:nymph]
   [TILE:'ƒ'][COLOR:6:0:1]
   [VERMINHUNTER]
   [PETVALUE:20]
   [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD]
   [NATURAL][TRAINABLE][PET]
   [LARGE_ROAMING]
   [COMMON_DOMESTIC][WAGON_PULLER]
   [PREFSTRING:Devious]
   [BODY:HUMANOID:TAIL:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:MOUTH]
   [BODYGLOSS:PAW]
   [SIZE:9]
   [MAXAGE:20:40]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:rip:rips:2:3:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
   [CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:Impit:Impits]
   [FAT:1]
   [DIURNAL]
   [BIOME_ALL_MAIN]
   [STANDARD_FLESH]
   [HOMEOTHERM:10070]
   [LAYERING:100]
   [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:2500]  

So this should make them appear on every map?
And makes them pull wagons - for the kicks.
And glowing yellow imp leather rocks....

Your use of prefstring is incorrect. When a dwarf likes s creature, the contents of prefstring are used like this: Dwarfy McDwarf likes <creature> for their <prefstring>. You'll wind up with this: Dwarfy McDwarf likes imps for their Devious.

thank you. But I am definitely not redoing a world to fix that right now.... War imps! I though modding would suck but this is awesome.

I don't think you need to generate a new world if you change the prefstring.
