Changing the tokens in the save folder means every NEW creature will be generated with those tokens.  The existing ones still have [GRASSTRAMPLE:0]

[RaidSoft]

I see, so there is no way to change the animals I already have then?

[Jeoshua]

Get em pregnant, raise their children, then cull them from the herds.

Only way without regen.

[asfghn]

Hey Jeoshua—I'm going to treat you as my resident Notepad++ guru so do you know if there's any way to auto-indent every line in a file that doesn't begin with [CREATURE:x], or am I still stuck with doing that manually if it finally grows irritating enough?

Also, perhaps a weird question, but one that's been bothering me: in vanilla DF, if you offered any wooden object to elves and offended them, they'd start hating on you and, in so doing, bring you animals in cages instead of cloth. As you all know I am an avid fan of tamed critters, so this was always infinitely preferable and I made it tradition to offend the elves like this in my every fort ever.

I'm wondering, are any of the elfin castes like the vanilla elves in that sense, either hating wood or just bringing you critters when they hate you beyond a certain point? In my current fort, I have an ezrakim caravan sitting in my depot, and I'm considering stealing all their stuff to piss 'em off. (But then, I don't want to piss them off into warring with me, obviously—they still need to be amiable enough with me to still trade, so I might abstain... or just make a save to roll back to )

I would do "select all of file (ctrl-a)" then press "tab" in Crimson editor, every line got shifted to the right by one tab. (shift-tab to shift them left).
Then you can replace in file with with the find "^\t\[CREATU" and replace with "[CREATU".
I like to indent the castes and attacks and inside-creature-material-definitions.

Sylvans are like vanilla in their "getting offended by wood products". I think you can piss them (and everybody else) off also by repeatedly offering too low amounts (your goods stink). then the "x seems willing to trade" goes away.

You do realize that you don't have to do that [indent], right?

Indenting is being polite to those who would read your code. You do it to keep the place tidy.
Commenting in code files is explaining to those who would read your code.

Okay who sillyperson decided giant lions [PETVALUE:200]. That is way too low. Regular lion should be like 450-550.

MY favorite feature of Notepad++:

Alt-Shift selecting.  It expands as a box.  So you can select only the first character of a line, or have a selection with 0 width and insert something before all lines.

You can use this to fix the indentation of many lines at once.  You're pretty much stuck with doing it manually, file by file, unless you know much more about Scintilla-style Regex code than me.  I can't figure that stuff out well enough to do anything.  I am a sad hacker on that.

[asfghn]

You do realize that you don't have to do that, right?

I do, but as stated elsewhere in the thread, I'm a wee bit OCD and like having my raws nice and neat.

Thanks Tomi, I'll give that a shot! I like to indent pretty much everything, and double-indent things like castes, body materials, etc.

Good to know about the sylvans, too. I noticed that pretty much everyone tends to get tetchy with me when I keep trying to shove my crap off on them (even if I'm altering amounts, etc, which made it pretty exciting before I started making a bunch of little trades to level up my broker).

Pre-post edit: Ooh, Jeoshua, that sounds neat. I can't really visualize it that well so I'll go try it out...

I think appraiser skill goes up from seeing what the traders brought. Negotiator... well that might up from try-trade.

Even more lynx yawning by Tomi Tapio, on Flickr

[asfghn]

Awww, thanks Tomi, you even saved me the effort of going and hunting down that program

Not having a great time in my current fort (Joyous Wilds, I believe; lots of woodland and on a volcano! My very first volcano!!). I was feeling down so I generated with more embark points (like, ~8k) so I could take a bunch of faedogs, and I'm down to two and one is crippled because my stupid ranger keeps going after unicorns. Fortunately I have a couple of faepuppies running around, but I'm not sure if they're related—and come to that, does the animal AI even take inbreeding into account?

Just lost a raptor to a unicorn, too. And now the ranger's Miserable, because he lost so many of his pets. well duh, urist mcdumbass

GORGEOUS photo, Tomi!! And I am psyched about finally having lynxes in-game—they're one of my favorite animals and I do so love your critters. *adds them at once!*
I think I'll give my non-giant lynxes [TRAINABLE_HUNTING], at least experimentally. I love the concept of war giant lynxes though, they're so 'delicate' for wildcats and yet being the size of a horse (which I didn't catch on the first read-through) totally makes them work.

[edit] Oh, do lynxes have any gfx yet? I'm guessing not, since they're brand-new, but I have to ask. And for that matter do spirit ravens? I was thinking the latter might work with a recolored hercinia tile, if they don't have graphics already.
I'm so spoiled by various tilesets, I find letters really jarring... I'm using the hunting dog tiles for faedogs temporarily, and then war dogs for war faedogs, since I never take regular dogs along anymore with all these other delicious options so there is no chance of confusing the two!

[edit2] God I'm using a lot of smilies tonight and not enough commas. Sorry, everyone. :<

[editIII] And while I'm rambling, I have recently fallen in love with soundsense and everyone should get it if they don't have it already. I think even you would like it, Tomi, since IIRC you listen to new age(?) radio while playing, and a lot of the tracks are super mellow. Aside from that, they're all neat and kind of Viking-y, along the lines of Garmarna or Hedningarna (two of my favorite groups, for the record), and change randomly with the seasons, and there's even gorgeous rain+desert ambient sounds for when it's... well, raining (although that might just be gorgeous to me since I live in the desert ), although I never fail to crack up whenever it plays Night on Bald Mountain* (usually during autumn, for some reason; Halloween?).


*bonus points for featuring the Fantasia short involving DFesque demons, y/y

Not "faedog puppies", so they're "faepuppies". I'm glad you like the beasts. Someone might even manage see and cage one in the wild! You might get a mutant caste by breeding lots of them.
Inbreeding is super acceptable in the DF universe. Via spores.

I've heard about Soundsense but haven't tried.
What is "y/y", is it a sad face or voodoo chicken feet?

Thanks for liking the lynxes. Just now I added red frogs, spear-nosed bats, and mud snakes into the caves. No graphics tiles, that happens if Deon approves of them.

By indentation, do you mean moving everything right by "tab" amount? If so, select multiple lines and press TAB. Or Shift+TAB to achieve an opposite result (remove tabulations).

[asfghn]

Not "faedog puppies", so they're "faepuppies".

Yep, the babies show up for me as "faepuppies". It was really cute getting an announcement about so-and-so, War Faedog giving birth to Faepuppies.

What is "y/y", is it a sad face or voodoo chicken feet?

adlskfgh, I literally LOL'd at voodoo chicken feet. 8D No, it's short for "yes/yes", as in a "yes/no" sort of selection. Except it's so awesome, no is not an option.

I can't even imagine how you guys were able to live without soundsense for so long

That is an excellent question. I didn't know it existed until about three days ago, and I've been using it nonstop since.

Multi-quote post is spammily annoying! 

[Jeoshua]

By indentation, do you mean moving everything right by "tab" amount? If so, select multiple lines and press TAB. Or Shift+TAB to achieve an opposite result (remove tabulations).

I did not know that would work.  I had assumed that would overwrite the selected lines with a tab character.

Thanks, Deon!
