Dose anyone now what tag/position makes people ruled by demons(Im trying to take that tag away).

The law giver position seems to have something to do with it. Check the responsibility tags in there.

[Kweri]

As I said that should be doable. You can put nice full colour bitmap images in place of the letters in your tileset. I just tried it with the letter D to make sure I wasn't imagining things and here's what I got:

The tileset I used:

The only thing to keep in mind is that any pixel that is black/grey/white will be coloured by the game. So you could give your lizard men hats that are white and the game would colour them per profession.

Pretty sure that all pixels get colored - the foreground color determines the overlay color and the background color is what's shown through transparency in your image. A white pixel would become the foreground color, while a green one would get "tinted" towards that color depending on its value.

I can't seem to find "law giver", for humans, but I'm trying to make goblin run goblin civs.

[astianax]

it seems to be the [VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL] tag that lets a civ have demonic rulers. humans and goblins both have that, as do all the modded races i've seen that can get demons. you can remove that tag and just give them a position called 'master' or 'overseer' or such. another modder has done similar with his goblin fortress mini-mod (rakninja, i think?)

Strange. I distinctly remember seeing people use green and red to represent on and off for levers without any discolouration. I will have to do more tests this weekend.

[Reudh]

Hokay, so, i had an idea. I've been looking to mod a new creature in, and eventually I settled on modding dragons. I created a smaller, calmer, non-firebreathing, non-fireimmune version of them called Drazards- essentially they're just bigger than normal lizards.

Haven't tested yet, and I don't know where to put this. I hope it works, would I put it in creature_domestic.txt or creature_standard.txt?

EDIT: it won't spawn in the arena. I've put it in the default raws folder (DF\raw\objects). It should appear under D for Drazard, probably below Dragons, but it doesn't. Is there anything preventing it spawning/existing?

Here's hoping this works.

First, that race sounds cool. Second, I'd just make it's own unique .txt file to keep everything separate, no need to jumble it in with everything else. Third, you MIGHT need to create an entity for it if your wanting to use them in Adventure and Dwarf mode. Fourth, it probably should still be showing up in the arena regardless. Code looks ok from what I can tell.

[Reudh]

So i could place it in a new file called creature_mods.txt for example, and the game WILL parse this file?
It's intended as a pet, and hence is rather small. Perhaps I should gen a new world, just for an example...

Just did, and it doesn't show up in fortress mode, or arena. It's strange. It's in creature_domestic.txt in DF\Raws folder.

[Lofn]

Your creature_mods.txt needs to look like the following:

Code: [Select]

creature_mods.txt

[CREATUER:MODDED_ANIMAL]

Anything in your error log?

[Reudh]

Nothing in the errorlog besides one dorf pathing fail.

I moved the drazards out of creature_domestic.txt to creature_mods.txt, and wrote it as you showed there; still not spawning. I noticed the tag [VERMIN_EATER] and [HUNTS_VERMIN] - that would conflict, right? [HUNTS_VERMIN] is cat behaviour, and [VERMIN_EATER] is a verminous creature that gnaws into food barrels, right? I've removed [VERMIN_EATER]. I'll test it now with this tag removed. That could've been it.

EDIT:
Removed [VERMIN_EATER], and a duplicated [LARGE_ROAMING] that I had there, and it now spawns and works. I set three drazards in the arena in a FFA and they tore each other to shreds in about a second. DF froze when the last drazard fainted, but then unfroze. So it's all good!

[Roses]

Ah yes, vermin will not show up in arena mode.

[James009]

How do I make it so my custom race doesn't keep getting obliterated in World Creation? They're basically modified humans (with some improved mental and social abilities) who can live anywhere but prefer places with water (for fish), grass (for safety and available), and trees (for lumber). I've even improved their [START_GROUP_NUMBER] so they have more people at start, [MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER] so it spawns more of the civilizations, [MAX_POP_NUMBER] so they can sustain more people, and [MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:170] so they have larger cities. Nonetheless, the world seems dominated by orcs, goblins, illiads, and argonians. I'm setting the history to between 500-700 years and have generated around 20 maps with unique seeds. Only once did they have a decent start and when I entered the game their main city was abandoned...
