Did you try removing comments?

Otherwise it's vanilla RAW data and then it means that it's another problem of DF strange activity.

I had a similar experience with a perfectly working ghost creature for windows: a simple existence of it caused the game to crash, but if I copypasted and renamed it, removing the original RAW of that creature, the game worked.

Also thanks for the great job finding it .

I copied the original DF giant badger raws and adjusted them to have the dire badger's qualities; Genesis does not crash now. Thanks for the help. Here is my fixed version of the raws, tested and verified to work on at least my Mac (I don't have a Windows or GNU/Linux computer to test it on right now, but I suppose you could check that if necessary):

Also, I noticed two other issues while looking through the raws:
- the MALE caste of the Buffalo (buffalo bull) in creature_benign_normal.txt does not have the [MALE] tag, causing would-be male buffalo to be genderless. All it needs is [MALE] under the MALE caste entry.
- although it appears that the Bladefoot Rancor has attacks in its raw entry, it can only "push" enemies. Unsure of how to fix this.

Heh, campy buffalo.

How do you make Cobalt?

This mod would really benefit from a comprehensive manual, I feel an idiot not being able to find something so basic

I think there's some hidden character in the .txt file which causes the crashes then, I had it happen before.

All of this is very useful, thank you for the feedback! I will fix it this week.

Smelt cobaltite .

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Not really an issue or anything, but it says 'Blast Firnace' instead of 'Blast Furnace' on the second post.
EDIT:Fixed terminology.

[Ultimuh]

You are correct, it's not a bug, it's a typo.
It's like when a dorf engraves a picture of bats surrounding a terrified major who hates them, when in fact he adores cats.

edit: And while your'e at it, hand me that Captain Obvious badge there will ya?

[MAurelius]

Just wanted to throw in another request for a Phoebus version.

Is Ironhand easier to implement or something? The lazy newb pack makes switching graphics packs easy as pie. Maybe the person who made the LNP would consider making one for Genesis? I really want to play this mod because it looks absolutely mind numbingly awesome but Ironhand hurts my head.

Same here.

Re testing anonimity for centaurs and beastmen: I deleted the [TRANSLATION:goblin.txt] line from their entity raws and added [UTTERANCES] to the creature raws, still searching for a centaur village to see if they have names like kobolds now. I know, I could just start a fortress and see it sooner, but Ironhand makes my eyes ouchie... at least the auto-hostile thing seems to work, they were hostile on an embark screen I did, hopefully not from their ethics (anything the dwarves punish: ACCEPTABLE, anything they don't: UNTHINKABLE- ought to be enough of a cultural clash )...

I'll be back once I have more results.


Oh, and BTW, Illithids could really do with [CAN_SPEAK] in their creature raws.

[arghy]

Gotta say i love the stone bins/barrels deon! helps so much in the beginning when you just want to focus on building your fort proper.

Working my dwarves like slaves to build the causeway of death that spirals around my central keep and past my guard towers--they must suffer through the snow storms so their fellow dwarves can live in the warm comfort of their cavern wall apartments, screaming in terror at every thing that glides past their fortification/windows.

[Ashnal]

Love your work Deon. I'm greatly anticipating the Pheobus release.

A few suggestions. I was reading a thread on blind dwarves being good as siege operators and I got to thinking, why not make Domple dwarves blind? It goes in hand with their retarded nature and it would make them somewhat useful (if slower to train) for siege operating. It would also make them better haulers, since they wouldn't be interrupted by hostiles. For comedy sake, they could easily be mauled by hostiles while hauling too!

Another less thought out idea would be giving Aspid dwarves acid blood (or other appropriate fluid) with a detrimental contact syndrome that all dwarves are immune to. This would allow you to use Aspid dwarves for unconventional biological warfare.

I would suggest looking at this http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=90371.0 idea and working with the mod author to make a genesis compatible version featuring the new genesis leather tiers.

Finally, I really liked Mechanixm's mini-mod for genesis. I would love to see some of his workshops and ideas integrated into the main mod, since he seems to be MIA and his mod is based on an older Genesis release.

[arghy]

Holy shit yes that leather mod--can we get demon skin also? i know you cant butcher humanoids(baldur monks though...) but adding a beast that demons ride/mount would allow you to use demon skin.

*seconding that mecha workshops stuff i remember drooling over his stuff months back

[Deon]

He made a lot of stuff too easy to get. Come on, stone chains? Otherwise I already have a lot of his ideas incorporated.

I will add wheelbarrows (I am busy preparing to the New Year now, it's like Christmas for you) and a couple other things, and I was considering using that tiered standartisized leather too.

[arghy]

We already have stone chains though.... as i see it just because its there doesnt mean you gotta use it. The new plaster reaction sounds sweet because its so hard to get normally.

[mud074]

How do I make cobalt? Even though I have loads of pentlandite laying around, it won't let me press enter if I select cobaltite ore.
