Need assistance with mod
« on: December 31, 2008, 01:46:56 pm »

I've started working on a superhero mod, which basically adds archetypical heroes and villains to the DF worlds.

So far, the core of it works very well. With heroes alone, my test world (max size) reached the Golden Age by year 150. With Supervillains added into the mix, it becomes a world of constant conflict. The two types themselves are ridiculously strong, with the ability to fly, and they do not over-exert or feel pain.

However, there are a few bugs I need assistance with. First off, what body part do you select to kick? I tried FOOT, but they ended up kicking with their heads...? I have a similar dilemma with adding heat vision, so what would the tag for eyes be?

Second, I tried adding a hero's costume as armor for the heroes, but something is wrong and it doesn't show up. Here's the raw:

Any idea what I've done wrong?

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

I think you should show us the Entity file too.

The supervillains are essentially the same.

Here's the creature file too.

Not sure why the body's alignment is messed up. Doesn't look like that in the .txt file.

This is my first mod, so I've probably done something really stupid.

Dont worry, glad to help.

BUUUUUUUT the kicking with the head seems a little strange... Il go ahead and see if theres something wrong with that.

EDIT: Found it, the thing goes something like this. [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:STANCE: and then insert rest of string here.

Ok, the kicking now works, and I decided to do a workaround and use hands for heatvision, but the costumes don't work. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I spawned with no shirt of any kind, and I can't find any.

...Wait, the heroes and villains are size 8. Are they too large for those clothes?

They might be.... try shrinking them to dwarven-human size.

Are other peoples wearing the costumes?

No, only heroes/villains have the option in the entity file.

Ok, I tried shrinking them, and that does not work either. They're even wearing the stuff I set to rare, yet no costumes, which are common... Well, with my luck it's something obvious, but I have no idea.
