This crashes the game when I try to view the animal. How can I make an animal that has more than one tail without crashing the game?

EDIT:

Also, an I make an "x Man" by taking the entry for the Iron Man and changing [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:IRON] to [TISSUE_MATERIAL:INORGANIC:x]?

[Clover Magic]

Did you make a bodypart named 4TAILS?  I think you need to do that if you define it in the body.

I did once makes snakes with two tails in a modding error, if I could remember how I did that I could tell you better.

[Sphalerite]

You will need to edit your body_default file and add a [BODY:4TAILS] entry which describes the structure for four discrete tails.

Ah. No, I didn't. I assumed there was just a "tail" entity and the number determined the number of whatevers the animal has.

Also, will this work:

Code: [Select]

[CASTE:IRON_DAWG]
[POP_RATIO:100]
[CASTE_NAME:iron dawg:iron dawgs:iron dawg:]
[TISSUE_LAYER:BY_CATEGORY:ALL:IRON]

That is, will that particular caste be made of iron and have the properties of an Iron Man?

[Rhenaya]

you have to mod in a "4tails" in a body object:

ie:
body_quadrotail.txt

Yes, and every single body part will be made out of iron in that case.

I'm not so good with the temperatures, but it looks like you've got its overall heatdam point lower than its body temperature, so it's burning itself up.

[3]

Yep, that'd probably be correct. Also, those numbers are ridiculously high and you're lucky they aren't breaking the game.

[Schilcote]

Changed the Flying caste to [BODY:QUADRUPED:2TAILS:etc... and added the following to body_default.txt. Viewing the dawg still crashes the game.

Code: [Select]

[BODY:2TAILS]
[BP:TAIL1:first tail:STP][CONTYPE:LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:TAIL]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:100]
[BP:TAIL2:second tail:STP][CONTYPE:LOWERBODY][CATEGORY:TAIL]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:100]


Yep, that'd probably be correct. Also, those numbers are ridiculously high and you're lucky they aren't breaking the game.

Ehh... Could you suggest better numbers? I just want the animal's skin temperature to be 200 Urist below the temperature of magma.

On the tails: You only need to specify the body parts you want to add to the caste when adding parts. Not all of them. Declare all the parts you want to be applied universally at the start of the entry, and then add whichever tail variant/whatever else you want for each caste.

If it's not due to that, the crashing may be down to a similar issue to do with declaring tissue layers in the incorrect order in circumstances such as this, but we'll go over that once the cause has been narrowed down.

On the numbers: Refer to this page.

So just add [BODY:2TAILS]?

EDIT:

That works, except the tails are grey indicating they've come off and he still has the original tail...

[3]

Yes. Make sure to remove the regular tails from the universal parts list and add them to each caste individually.

Is there a "remove bodypart" tag? I have a lot of castes...

[3]

There is one, but it's intended to be used in tandem with creature variations and I don't think it works on its own.
