Arena Mode Questions
« on: July 16, 2010, 12:09:16 pm »

Sorry, I am incredibly new to DF and mostly have been fiddling around with Arena mode before fully delving into Fortress mode and I have a couple questions pertaining to Arena mode.

1) Can you make demons in arena mode?
2) Can you change your creatures names when you create them?

All help is happily accepted.

I have nearly completely ignored the arena, myself, so I can't be sure, but:

1) It doesn't appear that way, and probably due to the same reason you can't make titans or forgotten beasts--they're not actual creatures, such as a wolf or a yeti; they're randomized during worldgen and come in endless varieties, as opposed to a wolf that's, invariably, a wolf with two eyes, four legs, a tail and gray fur.
2) I've tinkered around a little and saw no option to do that, so my guess is no.

actually you can take some tags off of certain creatures that arent allowed in the arena, mainly underground beasts, in the raws, if you look around, sais creature will have [ARENA_RESTRICTED], if you delete that, i believe you could add them

hint: look in creature_subterreanean,creature_standard, and creature_next_underground
