Any idea what might cause this?

Just remember it's not:

dwarf:dwarves:dwarven

but

draconian:draconians:draconic (or draconian again?)

I did draconian:draconians:draconen though I guess it probably doesn't matter much. On another note, I decided to go from draconians to making an entire civ of different dragon types. :O Wish me luck, it'll probably take forever!

You are using quite a lot of PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER tags that don't belong. These don't add the tissue layer in question, they try to select it. You generally need TISSUE_LAYER for that (format:    [TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:body part category:tissue name] ). You also seem to not use tissue templates, like in the lakitu castes, where you have
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:CLOUD:CLOUD_TEMPLATE]
but not
   [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:CLOUD:CLOUD_TEMPLATE]


Another tip for more readable raws: Use the USE_CASTE tag. Currently, you have
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

With use_caste, this can be shortened to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
since most tags are identical.

Edit - you also need to give the toads a different identifier, such as TOAD_MKL, else you get duplicate errors in all their terrible glory.
Edit edit - also, Toads don't have a caste name.

Does anyone know the item token and if applicable the subtype of mechanisms? Are they just MECHANISM? Nothing's in the string dump, so I'm not sure, I'll do some testing.

Okay so I've been working on my dragon civ and have these prepared for creature_standard and entity_default but I still keep getting every map rejected when trying to generate a new world:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And yes, I know a lot of the stuff is still a copy from the dorfs. I'm working to rename most of it but would appreciate a headsup if duplicates are the problem or one of them at least. On another note feel free to either post here or send me a PM with what to do.

What I would suggest zlurker, is first copy the dwarf creature and entity entries, and changing the names to avoid crashes. Then change one thing at a time, each time generating a new (pocket or small is easiest) world. Whenever it starts to reject all of them, that's your problem. Sorry if I couldn't be of more help, but I haven't had much experience with the new creature and entity tags.

I mean the values in the [ENTITY] and [CREATURE] fields. If for example you have two entities tagged as MOUNTAIN or two creatures as DWARF, very Fun stuff happens.

Questions.

Why would a race with only male/female castes need a caste name? and outside the castes? I would think the Creature Name would suffice.

Whats [PLUS_TISSUE_LAYER] used for then?

Well I do have the dwarves and dragons with different names in the files. It's not crashing my game when I start it, I just can't get the generator to pick a world--it's gone all the way to 60 rejections before I stopped it. But I guess I'll try doing one change at a time like you said to see if that helps.

Yeah, what's likely is that there is some variable set in the draconic entity or creature that requires a certain environment and the generator can't generate it. It could also be that there's just some weird bug in this version of DF as there are quite a few of those floating around.

I don't see why it'd be a climate 'cause I used stuff I found on the other civs but then again I guess coding can be pretty precise-dependant at times.

zlurker, I noticed that your creature lacks the [CHILD] token. I am not an expert on this by any means, but I suspect that might be the problem.

Try either replacing [BABY:1] with [CHILD:1] or placing [CHILD:2] under [BABY:1] like this:
Code: [Select]
[BABY:1]
[CHILD:2]

Ah, I see the use for [PLUS_TISSE_LAYER] now. Its like [SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE].

But the first question still applies :P. It doesn't seem to cause any problems if I don't include it on the toad race with only Male/Female castes.

Well I added things like you said but it still didn't seem to help any. Here's how I have the file for creature_standard setup now:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I don't think the game wants to let me make something other than dorfs or offshoots of them at this point. D: Went and added that child portion along with a speech diddy since I was missing it.. though I plan to make an actual dragon language if I ever get them to work.
