Hmm... I'm fiddling around with my original idea, just to see if it was possible...

Are limbs not allowed to have three joints? My plan was upper arm -> lower arm -> wing, with the hand attached to the lower arm like normal. I just end up with the same setup as your earlier code, so it's either that or the [CATEGORY: WING] token overrides everything else.

[Max White]

This is untested by myself, but I think what you want looks like this,

Code: [Select]

[BODY:2_HANDED_WINGS]
[BP:RUA:right upper arm:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:LUA:left upper arm:STP][CONTYPE:UPPERBODY][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_UPPER][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:RLA:right lower arm:STP][CON:RUA][LIMB][RIGHT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:LLA:left lower arm:STP][CON:LUA][LIMB][LEFT][CATEGORY:ARM_LOWER][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:200]
[BP:RH:right hand:STP][CON:RLA][GRASP][RIGHT][CATEGORY:HAND][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]
[BP:LH:left hand:STP][CON:LLA][GRASP][LEFT][CATEGORY:HAND][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:80]
[BP:RWING:right wing:STP][CON:RLA][LIMB][RIGHT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]
[BP:LWING:left wing:STP][CON:LLA][LIMB][LEFT][FLIER][CATEGORY:WING][DEFAULT_RELSIZE:500]

That's exactly what I have, I think, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Unless I'm doing something stupid again. Newbie modders must get grating, huh...?

Wait, what? It worked that time!

I don't get it, I just don't get it. =_=

[Max White]

I'm going to assume your working with the object testing arena. When you changed the file and saved, did you exit out of the arena and go back in?

[Hydrall]

Yeah. Also, I figured out my problem

I had two of the same body type (2_HANDED_WINGS), and I'd fixed the copy that was the same as your original. Looks like I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on these things, since I didn't even realize I'd done that...

[Max White]

The fact that you pulled out the correct script on your own, despite being newer to modding, is a tribute to your natural abillity. I'm sure you will quickly pick up on all the tips and tricks.

And trust me, everybody makes silly little mistakes like that. I spent a few hours messing with my raws before I relised I was getting problems because I used MONARCH instead of KING.

[rephikul]

Okay, so if I only put a savage token, for instance, it will only show up in untamed wilds? Just making sure I've got this clear.

That's right.

You sure about that? I remember savage creatures showing up on joyous and terrifying too.

They may do, which is why I said

Non-evil creatures can show up as undead on evil biomes

Actually, on the converse, I don't know why I said that. I thought I knew that BENIGN/SAVAGE/GOOD/EVIL only limit the biomes a creature can show up in, not expand them.

*** Error(s) finalizing the creature HYDRA
HYDRA:DEFAULT:body, layer 3: Tissue  was not found, using first tissue instead
HYDRA:DEFAULT:tentacle end, layer 3: Tissue  was not found, using first tissue instead

What's wrong here?

[3]

Looks like it's looking for a layer without a name. Make sure there aren't any blank spaces in your tissue definitions, or if you're using a detail plan, make sure it's 1. got the right number of arguments set and 2. actually points to those bodyparts.

[rephikul]

Post raw for your hydra?

You should define a third argument for EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS.

No realy, do tree loving diplomats count as trade or seige? I mean they don't show up for a little while in vanilla, so I'm guessing its seige, but then I see
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:3]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PROD_SIEGE:0]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE_SIEGE:0]
and it seems they will start attacking you when you have over three dwarves... And they hate you. Basicaly I want a race that likes you, will not trade with you, and will go to war with you over trees. So I can't turn off all active sesons, because then they won't attack, but I can set

   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION:1000]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION:1]
   [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE:1]
so that because you will never have 1000 dwarves, they will never trade with you. Problem I'm having is, 'what if they never send diplomats to stop logging as well?' So, advice?

[Frogwarrior]

As I recall, the "population" trigger is not number of dwarves, but certain MILESTONES. Like, 1 is 20, 2 is 50, 3 is 80 or something.
