When I put them in the same files as everything else, I just stick them on top of the dwarves, but when I put them in their own files I put either:
creature_aarocockra or entity_aarocockra at the top and [OBJECT:CREATURE] and [OBJECT:ENTITY] right under that. So it should be working. :|

edit: and I'm genning a new work each time I mess with things.
Whats really weird though it that randomly disappeared, the entity file I removed had nothing at the top.

Well you probably know this already, but for my sake I'm entering it...

This is at the top of the entity default...

entity_default <--- entity_custom (just for the sake of doing it...) make the file entity custom too.

[OBJECT:ENTITY] <--- this stays...

[ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] <--- ENTITY:LOKII
   [ADVENTURE_TIER:1] <--- idno
   [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] <--- What's indiv control?
   [CREATURE:DWARF] <--- your creature name

this is in creature standard...
creature_standard <--- creature_custom...

[OBJECT:CREATURE]

[CREATURE:DWARF] <---- your creature...
   [NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]

Now that I've put that, what's indiv cont?

Never heard of that, does it just throw you into one of their towns?

In Vanilla only Humans have it, and you get a naked, skill-less human to play. It's...challenging, to say the least.

That wouldn't effect anything, though, right?

 And that's pretty much how I'm doing it.

I even pause about Year 5 in word gen to make sure they don't die out.

I'm really making guess work here. I know near nothing when it comes to new creatures. Deon would ton more helpful than I.

But I don't think it would, but it could...

Okay, from a read-through, in the creature file I see...

   [PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC_200]
should be

   [PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC:200]

And you assign the feather color in the female caste, making males have no feather color.

In the entity file, you have the
   [MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:100]
   [START_GROUP_NUMBER:10]
   [MAX_POP_NUMBER:10000]
   [MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:120]
block twice, with different numbers.

Neither of those should make your aaracokras not appear, though. I'll try them out later.

Edit:

Error log:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There is no body tag 2ARMS in vanilla, and with HUMANOID, you don't need to add arms - that body has arms already.

The sphere is TORTURE, the site RUIN no longer exists separate from other site, the punishment is PUNISH_REPRIMAND, and the variable position tag is VARIABLE_POSITIONS:ALL.

For the PERMITTED_JOB thing that causes a whole lot of errors, simply copy the dwarven list of permitted jobs. That'll already give you all jobs.

There is no file goblin.txt in the data/speech directory. Simply delete the
    [SPEECH:goblin.txt]
line.

Edit edit:
Try these raws:

Spoiler: Creature (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Entity (click to show/hide)

Edit edit edit: Always check the spelling of your objects. The big problem was that you misspelled the creature name in the entity file.

That's odd, it shouldn't have been mispelled, because it was woking earlier. The raws you gave me work, though. Thanks!~

I don't mean to burden with more creature questions but I was wondering if it is possible to mod a creature's/civilization's reaction to specific events, such as the Elf's reaction to clear cutting a forest. The reason I'm asking this is because I am trying to make a humanoid pig-like creature/civ that has an aversion to fire. I'm not saying they're extremely flammable I'm just saying as a pig-like creature they are well aware of the means by which bacon is produced and wouldn't take kindly to becoming bacon themselves. Call it an evolutionary leftover, such as a human's fear of reptiles. Is this possible in the current version?

Aversion to woodcutting is a hardcoded feature. It can be turned on and off for any civilisation, but it cant be changed into an aversion towards something else.

I think there is a tag for an aversion towards killing animals though. Something Toady made but didnt use in the default raws. I cant remember what tag it was, maybe its an ethic setting.

I have a couple questions for these tokens in my creature.
Code: [Select]
[TISSUE:COPPER]
[TISSUE_NAME:copper:copper]
[TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:COPPER]
[FUNCTIONAL]
[RELATIVE_THICKNESS:1]
[CONNECTS]
[TISSUE_SHAPE:LAYER]
What does relative thickness do? Also if I make it to 0 would it be easier to cut?
Also stuff like [FUNCTIONAL],[CONNECTS],etc.
Will [HAS_NERVES] work in a tissue layer I assigned?

Chuckster, I'm not too sure how creatures are put together in the new version. So the best advice I could give you is to look at like the bronze colossus or the amethyst man or gabbro man for examples. I think it's Gabbro...

I would assume a relative thickness of zero would make it a non-existent layer that serves no purpose.

I would assume connects means it connects to the body, like a limb possibly?

Has nerves would have to deal with feeling pain and such I believe. If you don't have "has nerves" on feet and the creature had its feet burned off from like 1/7 magma, it wouldn't feel pain... maybe.

That's about as much as I can help you at the moment.

I've been having a lot of work going on with the helicopter school.

Huh, HAS_NERVES is a creature's token. For tissues you need [PAIN_RECEPTORS:#] where "#" determines the level of pain which is inflicted when the tissue is hit.
