OK basically I have made a new race and gave them the flyer tag. Everytime they try to take off to do a task off the ground they cancel the job because of dangerous terrain. Does anyone know what causes this and how I may be able to fix it?

Here's the race descript:

[XD!]

Shit hits the fan with flying races in dwarf fortress mode.

[i2amroy]

Yeah. at the moment flying is terrible in fortress mode because of the bug you described and there is no real way to fix it, flying races are amazing in adventure mode though.

[mission0]

yeah I was able to make it work in adventure mode.

*Oh no ambushed by bears, flies away*

[Demonic Gophers]

Although you can only take off in rough terrain.  It's great fun in cities and such, though.  You can fly right up to roofs and such.

[flabort]

[SPEACH_MALE:<file>]?

it's [SPEACH], no gender specifics. that's your problem.

in the next update... that's another thing.

oh yeah... flyers path through air, but then they don't like not standing on a floor. toady might fix this, but, as it is, he's working on the dwarves, not the flying races.

Erm no, look at the vanilla raws:

That's an exact copy paste of version 40d's [CREATURE:HUMAN] raws in the creature_standard.txt go have a look.

guese I was wrong....

But does that mean human females can't speak?

[woose1]

Dwarves are rednecks. Their woman speak only when spoken to, and sometimes not even then. YEE-HAW!

[i2amroy]

guese I was wrong....

But does that mean human females can't speak?

No, that tag is used for when a creature is killed and the killer says, "slayer of XXX who blah blah blah" If there is no tag than it uses the default ones, but if there is a tag than it uses a different text file for the quotes.

The SPEECH_MALE file refers to insults, as do the racial SPEECH files. They cover NPC insult/boasts decrying a victim's manhood/race, respectively.
