So, yeah, I decided that there WEREN'T enough megabeasts in the game. ;p
And added in various kinds of dragons. Imagine them as dragons+. They're also fliers, which should probably be removed if the Z-Axis bug isn't completely fixed.

[Bien]

Was that Inspired by D&D or Dragonlance?

[Pathos]

D&D.

I had to make a couple of problematic changes, though, since the breathing attacks are hardcoded, for now, and you can't do frost attacks.

[Poil]

I like them. But is there any particular reason as to why the dragons doesn't have wings?

[Pathos]

I have no idea how to mod bodies. =/

[Poil]

Just adding :2WINGS: to the [BODY: part would be enough.

This is the code the game will use from the body_default.txt which will add two wings (which are the parts used for flight, i.e. cut them off and it can't fly) to it's upper body.

[BODY:2WINGS]
[BP:RWING:right wing][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB]

[FLIER]
[BP:LWING:left wing][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB]

Ooh, thanks. Question, though, would this require a game restart?

[Poil]

Yes, but you don't need to create a new world and I don't think you need to start a new fortress or adventurer.

I am still learning where to put everything when modding. What file would i put these under?

[Bien]

So how about the dragons of good.

[Pathos]

quote:Originally posted by Aven:

Make a new file called creatures_dragons.txt

quote:Originally posted by Bien:

Blurgh, metallic ones? >.>

I probably should add green and yellow first, though.

[Poil]

Does that actually work? Is there anything you have to do besides copy&pasting the creature tags into it? I tried to make a file for the pet demons I made but they didn't show up on the embark screen until I added them to the existing creature_domestic.txt file.

You probably missed [MATGLOSS:CREATURES] and that. I used to.

[Bien]

Yep, metallic ones. Argh, some immigrants have arrived, gotta use heal.exe -hurt on them.

[Durnheist]

Anyone know exactly what the fanciful tag does?
