Undead Race
« on: November 12, 2008, 03:39:49 pm »
Copy and paste these into the relevant files, gen a new world and you're good to go:

creature_standard:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

entity_default:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The attacks can be pretty brutal in terms of numbers. I tweaked with some of the starting stats for civs (gave other civs less starting breeders and less max civs etc to give the undead the advantage).

For the record, undead should probably have [FIXED_TEMP:xxxxx] and no [STANDARD_FLESH] tag.

What does STANDARD_FLESH actually do?

It makes creatures act like they have "flesh" - ie: they will freeze to death or burn.

Ghosts and other incorporeal undead may work with FIXED_TEMP, but classic zombies should instead use STANDARD_FLESH (for the implied density and other factors) followed by COLDDAM_POINT:NONE.  No freezy.  Yes burny.

Also, STANDARD_FLESH does not just make them freeze to death or burn.  It implies a set of default values for primarily temperature values, but also AFAIK density.  It includes AFAIK the whole suite of animal product temperature settings (extracts, silk, leather, bone, etc).  I think it also overrides any settings defined before itself.  So add any exceptions after STANDARD_FLESH.

Dude, put all those [NO-] tags on one line. Much neater.

Yeah i didnt realise that you could have tags on the same line really.

I tried messing with the temp and on the next siege all the undead instantly turned to piles of bones so I left it as is ;)

Oh okay, interesting.  Although I guess that tag is likely to disappear in the next version.
