Ok, so I'm trading with my Dark Elves in my fortress game, and even though I've designed them to use animal goods, they still throw a fit when I try to trade leather to them.  This is no doubt because they are based on Elves, but I'm not sure what part of their creature/entity file controls what kinds of goods they will accept in trade.  Is there a way I can make them accept leather and other "unethical works" in trade?

[WOOD_PREF] I would assume

[Karlito]

Could it be the [WOODPREF]in the entity file?  Otherwise it might be a part of [FOREST_SETTLEMENTS].

I bet its probably the forest settlements tag, many of the civs more specific actions are controlled by a few tags, mountain_settlement, forest_settlement,plains_settlement, or baby snatcher go far beyond their implications.  In the next version from what Toady has been saying it seems that we will have more control over this.

You should make Dark Elves Mountain_settlement any how since they normally live under the ground (In the underdark) that would solve most of your problems me thinks

[Rob Allen]

In an earlier version I tried that but then they wouldn't generate.  Every map I generated only had dwarves as a playable mountain civ.  Changing them back to forests fixed it.

I expect it's [FOREST_SETTLEMENTS] or is hardcoded.

From context, I think that [WOOD_PREF] will control whether a creature of that race can have a preferred wood type.
