I'm currently modding in various creatures, though I can't seem to get them to appear in the arena. They're in a separate text file and don't have the ARENA_RESTRICTED tag. Can anyone help?

[Demonic Gophers]

Hmm...
Do you have the proper header at the top of the file?

creature_added (or whatever your file name is)

[OBJECT:CREATURE]


Are you getting anything in the error log?

[turgidtoupee]

Damn, can't believe I missed that. Got it now.

New question though, how can I get the castes to have completely different names?

ie bulbasaur, ivysaur, venusaur, all same species.

[Lofn]

[CASTE_NAME] and [CASTE_TILE] are caste-level versions of NAME and CREATURE_TILE - you can use them to make each caste individually named and whatnot.

[turgidtoupee]

I tried caste_name, but although they appear on the creature list as the separate names, if I view units it still displays it as the creature name.

[Lofn]

The arena assigns them names based on their creature definition, not their caste.

[turgidtoupee]

So to get them to have completely separate names I'd have to make them separate creatures?

[Lofn]

That's right. It's not that big a deal, though, since the combat reports refer to them by their caste names.
