Huh. I could've sworn I checked that, buuut apparently not. Thanks! 

As a second and hopefully final (for now) question, is there a tutorial out there for making body templates? I know I've seen one somewhere but I can't recall where.

Edit: This is for a vermin as a note, which seem to have far less complicated bodies from what I can see.

What do you mean by "body templates"? If you mean explaining detail plans or body parts, you'll probably be able to find what you want here.

[Max White]

Well I'm sure there are a few guides out there, BUT for a little extra support, you might want to think about the alternitive. VBase is a mod made by Mayday, and it allows you to make creatures more quickly and effectivly, so you could leearn to use that instead. I'm sure the people in that thread would be willing to support you in use for that perticular body set.

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks 3, and I'll look into VBASE too, thanks Max.

One last question (hopefully), my created creature wouldn't show up in the testing arena until I put it, unchanged, from my own large temperate file, into the normal creature_large_temperate file.

Are any new additions required to be there, and if not what do I do to my own text files to make the game recognize them?

I already put [CREATURE:OBJECT] at the top of the file along with the file's name.

Thanks in advance.

[Max White]

Your first three lines should look like this.

creature_file_name

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

[CREATURE:"creature tag"]

Do you have all that?

[Seriyu]

If the [CREATURE:"creature tag"] is, for example [CREATURE:BEAR_BROWN], then yes.

If not, then I'm missing something.

Edit: WAIT I'M A DUMMY, the first word in the filename has to be creature.

My bad, problem solved.

[rephikul]

the top line of your file must match the file name discounting type. In example your file name is animal_seriyu.txt then put this on top:

animal_seriyu

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

[CREATURE:BEAR_BROWN]

As you can see, file name can be anything.

[Seriyu]

I just edited my post, but I just changed it from "xiadem_large_temperate" to "creature_xiadem_temperate" and now it works.

Thanks everyone!

Still can't get secretions to work from teeth but build a work around.

First I modded in tongues

Code: [Select]

[BODY:TONGUE]
[BP:TONG:tongue:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][CATEGORY:TONGUE][SMALL][INTERNAL]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:60]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[BP_RELATION:BY_CATEGORY:TEETH:AROUND:BY_CATEGORY:TONGUE:75]
Then changed the secretions to be from the tongue

Code: [Select]

[SECRETION:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:TOXIC_SALIVA:LIQUID:BY_CATEGORY:TONGUE:TONGUE]and finished by giving the creature a secondary attack ... lick

Code: [Select]

[ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TONGUE]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:lick:licks]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:SECOND]Now the creatures will lick their targets spreading the tongues contact poison ^.^

How can I make a creature not give out anything on butchering except vanilla meat? (IE, no organs.)

If that isn't possible without removing the organs, then how do I make it yield nothing at all?

I tried placing the [NOMEAT][NOSKULL][NOBONES] etc tags but they didn't seem to do anything.

E: figured it out, who would've imagined the [NOT_BUTCHERABLE] tag would make a creature not butcherable

Craziness I say

You're bodypart is fine.  The problem is probably some interplay with FUNCTIONAL tissues.  Both your Adamantine and your Clay are marked as FUNCTIONAL, and both are on the SOULGEM (adamantine is put their by [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:ADAMANTINE], and you add clay specifically). 

What I think is happening is this:  When the Soulgem is struck, the clay is destroyed, knocking out the construct, but the adamantine layer is not.  So the creature doesn't die because it still has a working FUNCTIONAL layer on its SOULGEM.  To fix this, try removing FUNCTIONAL from you adamantine tissue, or add the adamantine in a more controlled manner.

Nobles modding is so much fun.
I'm reworking the dwarf nobles, and so far my new nobles section alone is looking to be longer then the vanilla dwarf entity. If I can get this to work, this is going to rock. 

No question, just wanted to share.

EDIT: Ok, so now I need help. Basicaly trying to assign higher up nobles squads, as a personal guard. Can this be done on all nobles?

For some reason this dosn't work...

Do you still have the old liason position? it might cause conflict if the responsibilities are the same. And on that note, liason has always been random jobs. Maybe it has something to do with it?

My question: Are there any way to list creature extracts neatly into a file like we can do with gems or stone? Right now I can only use object:inorganic which caused the extracts to appear both on the stone menu and the extract menu. Kinda unsightly.
