Okay, Modding Gods. I need your help. I can't figure out [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS], and I want this domestic spider to lay silk cloth (both genders), but I also want them to be able to reproduce without eggs. Is this possible? And how would I implement it?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
[LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:CLOTH:NONE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SPIDER_CAVE_SPINNER:SILK] should do it.
Note that creatures that lay unusual eggs DON'T reproduce via eggs.

So it'll just reproduce the normal way? Sweet.

I assume I just paste this under [SELECT_CASTE_ALL:]?

Wait wait, it's [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:CLOTH:NONE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:SILK]. Disregard what I gave you earlier.
And yes, paste it there.

Hey folks.  I have been doing some !!science!! to figure things out regarding this thread, and have run into some strangeness.  It would appear that [LIKES_FIGHTING] and [NOFEAR] are doing nothing to make elephants (and other creatures) more aggressive.  My tests are done in adventure mode, but I don't think that should make the difference.  The elephants always flee. 

[LARGE_PREDATOR] and [AMBUSHPREDATOR] work fine, but they have some side-effects that I want to avoid (like getting ambushed by an elephant is super dumb). 

Does anyone know for certain if  [LIKES_FIGHTING] and [NOFEAR] are bugged, or, if not, why they don't seem to be doing anything?

Alright, I am making an entity as a request for someone, and I need a little help. This is the errorlog when I ran the game:
Code: [Select]
*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/creature_daemon.txt"
Unrecognized Skill Token: FIGHTER
Unrecognized Skill Token: DODGER
Unrecognized Skill Token: WRESTLER
*** Error(s) finalizing the creature DAEMON_CC
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_FEMALE:right horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_FEMALE:left horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_MALE:right horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_MALE:left horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_BANSHEE:right horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_BANSHEE:left horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead

DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_HELLKITE:right horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead
DAEMON_CC:DAEMON_HELLKITE:left horn, layer 1: Tissue HORN was not found, using first tissue instead

So, I need to know what to do about the tissue problem, and I need to know what tags will work for fighting, dodging, armor user, shield user, and wrestling. Thanks for any help!

/facepalm

Thank you very much. I'll assume the horn isn't a problem unless something buggy happens when it is hit.

Skill tokens and profession tokens are different things, even though it's really easy to mix them up.  In this case, you're using profession tokens where skill tokens are required.  You're looking for MELEE_COMBAT, DODGING, and WRESTLING.

Also, add...


   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:HORN:HORN_TEMPLATE]
   [USE_TISSUE_TEMPLATE:HORN:HORN_TEMPLATE]

...to your creature file (somewhere before castes are defined).


This should fix all of your errors, but I feel compelled to tell you that your template for "fire blood" is actually colder than absolute zero.  If you want actual fire blood, change the fixed temp and ignite points to 12000 (magma's temperature).  Also note that your blood templates inherit the default state temperatures for blood unless otherwise specified, which will probably result in them boiling immediately unless this is changed.  I advise you make the following changes...

Alright, I'll keep all that in mind for later. For now, however, I have the following problems:

I don't know the name in the raws for the fighter and archer skills.

Also, this:
Spoiler: errorlog.txt (click to show/hide)

Right now, those and the problems with fighter and archer are the only parts of my mod with errors in errorlog :D

Not sure on the BP tokens (make sure these are all defined parts of the body, I might have accidentally axed them), but the tokens you're looking for are MELEE_COMBAT (fighter) and RANGED_COMBAT (archer - I believe this skill also has effects while using any ranged weapons)

I do what I can :)

Best of luck with it, and of course, if you have any more problems or questions in the future, you know where to post.

I think that error may be superfluous, since it only appears once; the likely error-causing tags appear no less than 4 times in the file, and there are only 3 caste bodytypes, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Also, question: with LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS, how many "eggs" are laid at once? Is it only one, or is it defined in the creature file?

[CLUTCH_SIZE:(min):(max)] defines it in the creature file.  Not sure what it defaults to if that token is missing.

Right, perfect. I'm working on this thing, I'm thinking of making it a seperate mod, that is, have Trolls as a civ that may go to war with your civ (if so, I make turn EAT_SAPIENT_KILL to PERSONAL_MATTER in the entity raws for the non-conversion one), OR have trolls as a playable civ. I feel like the two should be mutually exclusive, if only for the fact that the egg-laying troll goose (name tentative :P) and metalslaughter troll cow (name also tentative) would be available for the dwarves otherwise.
