You removed the [HEAD] tag from the head .  The error messages are all the things that depend on the Head bodypart having the [HEAD] tag failing to figure out where they should attach themselves.  The suffocation is probably due to the creature not having a brain and also not having the NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT (I think it is) tag.

If you put the [HEAD] tag back on the head, it should fix all your problems. 

Alternatively, if you want to keep the head as nonessential, the body parts listed in the errorlog are a complete list of the ones you'll need to duplicate and fix, as I mentioned in my earlier post.

[Musashi]

*facepalms* I had completely forgotten about the head tag. Even though I was the one to bring up the idea of putting it back. Shouldn't fiddle with things past midnight.
EDIT: the essential is done! But the hair colour still somehow doesn't show up.

Im having some raw issues, when I create a new txt file and put it in, it doesnt seem to read it, it ignores all the data within

[D_E]

New text files have a couple of restrictions:

1) The names of body files must start body_, creature files must start creature_, item files item_, and so on.

2) The files must start as follows (example is for a body file):

Code: [Select]

body_whatever

[OBJECT:BODY]


That first line of text does nothing, but there seems to be some leftover code from 40d that makes the file not work if it doesn't have a line of plain text at the top.  In 40d, the text had to match the file name, but this seems to no longer be the case in 2010.  It seems like there just needs to be some text there.  Still, it's probably safest to make it match the file name.

[Starmantis]

Just figured out the problem I had [OBJECT_CREATURE] instead of [OBJECT:CREATURE], thanks for telling me

[rephikul]

How do I make elves butcherable and edible?

[MaximumZero]

Just elves, or everything sentient, like humans, goblins and kobolds, too?

[rephikul]

Only elf.

Is there something special you have to do to get a creature to show up in arena mode ( or even at all for that matter). Im trying to make a forest cousin of the GCS but I cant seem to get it to show up.

right now all I've done is copied the GCS raws and replaced all instances of cave with forest. as well as remove ambusher (since I couldnt get it to show up in arena I wanted to know as soon as it showed in dwarf mode) changed biomes to forest and removed the deep tag.

but it still refuses to appear.

Here's the raw I plan to change it more after I get it to simply show up somewhere in the game.

The name of a creature file must start with creature_

[Fullmoon]

Uh, sorry for asking, wasn't playing DF for few month.

What about reactions with liquid products? Still doesn't work?

[Iados]

adding the [TRANCES] tag to a creature will make it go in martial trances and strange moods, right?

how i can make a creature that only have the trances but not the moods?

[3]

Creatures of the player race will go into moods regardless of whether they have TRANCES or not. There's no way to prevent it.

[Iados]

i'm not creating a controlled creature, but a wild animal, and i want some kind of "rage mode". martial trances are simply perfect for that .
if i don't give them [CAN_LEARN] and [CAN_SPEAK], they shouldn't create artifacts, right?
