I've used World Tinker 3 to export the world save data, I've successfully found all the

data and removed their [TRAPAVOID] tags.  I imported the file back and started the game.  They're still gliding over cage traps effortlessly.  Is their [TRAPAVOID] hard-coded in some other manner then just the one token or am I using the utility incorrectly?  Or is there some other token I need to remove?

[Grimlocke]

Strange, it worked for me with a plains titan (he emenated an aura of giving and kindness!). Only removed trapavoid and added pet. Maybe tinker wont notice and changes in the file unless you add something?

[Ironhand]

It might be the fact that they can fly.

That's just a guess, though.

[jocan2003]

Even if they fly if there is a ceiling over you can trap flying.

yeah and my last few forts I've been trapping giant eagles without a ceiling just fine.

*bump*

If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know.  I have that fort shelved for the time being but I'm anxious to get back to it.

I couldn't catch cave swallow men before beating them unconsincous, but managed to catch other flying creature (Modded creature made by me, mostly just a flying whale. Yes.) fine. A wild guess, maybe intelligence prevents trapping somehow. Because, y'know, they are smart enough not to fly directly into traps.

Well, if you mean simply flying around them no, they can't do that.  It's a single tile hallway full of traps.  But if you're saying the intelligent token makes them avoid flying into traps even if they pass into the same square as a trap... I shall have to take a look at that.  Thanks.

I don't see any sort of intelligent token on a lot of them, but what does the [DEMON] tag do?  Could that be the culprit?  And if I remove it, how badly would it screw them up?

[Grimlocke]

Im not sure what the demon tag actualy does, non-random modded demons with just fine without it.

Also, nothing wrong with expirimenting, just make plenty backups.

[bluephoenix]

The Intelligent tag does not mean they think better, it allowes them to speak and have civillisations because it is [CAN_CIV], [CAN_LEARN] and [CAN_SPEAK] in one tag.

EDIT: Forgot one tag that is in [INTELLIGENT]

I'm pretty sure the demon-, FB-, and titan-specific tokens do nothing as of 31.xx.  I might be wrong on the demons, though (haven't tried).  I remember trying to add a few custom titans/FBs and having no success.  The raw parser didn't understand the tokens.  It'd be nice if Toady opened those up to the raws.  Right now they seem to be worldgen-only, which ruins my plan to eventually populate hell with mostly Doom monsters.

Can't you just set the number of demon types in worldgen to the number of Doom demons you want to add, then gen the world, use World Tinker to access the demon raws, and simply edit them after they've been genned?

Both passed trough a pathway filled with cage traps in similar fashion. It was just a wild guess, I really don't know crap about modding.

[Drakeero]

Well, I'm looking up and down the raws trying to figure out how to get them trappable.  As said I do NOT have a military to handle them.  I would prefer to cage them.  But if nothing else can be done I will simply have to use the nuke button on Runesmith.

I prematurely released the demons with a DFReveal screw up.

Probably.  That requires extra work every time I start a new world, though, as opposed to just once.  It's also a workaround for something that shouldn't be a problem in the first place.  Thanks, though.  I might try that next time I get around to playing/modding.
