Children spam is not working :[
« on: February 11, 2008, 01:37:00 am »

For some reason, this:
code:
 [CREATURE     :DWARF]
   [NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
   [TILE:1][COLOR:3:0:0]
   [GENPOWER:3]
   [BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD]
   [INTELLIGENT]
   [LIKES_FIGHTING][NOFEAR][RECKLESS][NOEXERT][NONAUSEA][NOEMOTION][NO_THOUGHT]
   [NO_DRINK]
   [NO_EAT]
   [NO_SLEEP]
   [TRANCES]
   [CANOPENDOORS]
   [PREFSTRING:beards]
   [BODY:HUMANOID:2EYES:2EARS:NOSE:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:ORGANS:HUMANOID_JOINTS:THROAT:NECK:SPINE:BRAIN:5FINGERS:5TOES:MOUTH]
   [STOUT]
   [MAXAGE:150:170]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP     :DEPRESSION:0:4:8]
   [PERSONALITY     :DUTIFULNESS:65:85:100]

   [PERSONALITY:IMMODERATION:0:4:8]
   [PERSONALITY:LIBERALISM:25:30:35]
   [PERSONALITY:ORDERLINESS:65:75:85]
   [PERSONALITY:SELF_CONSCIOUSNESS:5:15:35]
   [PERSONALITY:TRUST:60:80:100]
   [PERSONALITY:ACHIEVEMENT_STRIVING:80:90:100]
   [PERSONALITY:SELF_EFFICACY:90:95:100]
   [PERSONALITY:SYMPATHY:0:2:4]
   [PERSONALITY:EMOTIONALITY:0:4:8]
   [PERSONALITY:SELF_DISCIPLINE:80:90:100]
   [PERSONALITY:GREGARIOUSNESS:80:90:100]
   [PERSONALITY:VULNERABILITY:0:2:4]
   [PERSONALITY:STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS:0:55:100]

isn't making dwarves have lots of babies.

I finally got an immigrant couple, and the first time they have kids, they have 1.

What is going on here? Am I just missing some obvious coding flaw, or what?

Or could there be some kind of conflicting tokens, one that makes dwarves sterile or something?

I found out that no creature has the littersize tag. Was this token removed? That could be messing up the dwarf immigrants...

Also, does anybody know if [NO_GENDER] will make all of my dwarves have children?

If there is an error in the errorlog that says "unreconized token [LITTERSIZE]"  then it was removed.  Otherwise the problem lies elsewhere.

Not necessarily. The STICK_CHANCE token works for ammo, but even setting it to 100 does not yield a stuck projectile every hit.

I believe the game is currently hardcoded to allow no more than 10 children per couple. The prime reason to believe this is the maximum number of children you see for any ruler of any civ when you dump world info. 10 children max. Even for the ever-living elves.

The net result is that the game tries to spawn a hundred children, sees that it will go above the max, and spawns one instead.

So I should put [LITTERSIZE:10:10] instead, so they have 10 kids every time?

Aw, that sucks...

It means having 5 married couples gives you 50 babies.

That's my goal.

Unfortunately, that will probably never happen.

Actually I made it so dwarves are born as children, which take a year to mature.

I just hate having less than 100 dwarves, and the mod I am making is meant to be incredibly violent, so I need as many soldiers as Ic an get as fast as I can get them.

The idea is to have hundreds of dwarves die in battle per year.
