Is there a way to turn off ambushes and boogeymen? they are the only things I die to besides balors.

EDIT: is there a way to make it so you can play as balors? if so, HELL YEAH!

[Javarock]

I think lowering Savergy nad night creatures will take care of that and to play balors simpyl add the, What was it?
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag to the balor in the raws

[mud074]

for the first part of your post, WHAT!? 

I added to tag but it doesn't seem to work.

This is how I put it in :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[CREATURE:BALOR_DETAILED]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [DESCRIPTION:A dark aura of power surrounds this towering humanoid with huge bat wings. Lurid flames dance over its skin.]
   [NAME:balor:balors:balor]
   [CASTE_NAME:balor:balors:balor]
   [CREATURE_TILE:255][COLOR:7:0:1]
   [FIXED_TEMP:11500]
   [HOMEOTHERM:11500]
   [PETVALUE:10000]
   [BIOME:ANY_LAND]
   [FREQUENCY:5]

[Javarock]

Perhaps you also need to make a civ for it?, Do a crash course copy.

[mud074]

a what?
I have never modded anything on this game other than deleting aquifers :S

Copy the dwarf civ, Then Rename a few key things balor

[mud074]

How would I go about doing that  ?
Also, would a balor civ kinda kill everything on the planet besides itself? I mean, it is covered in molten iron, it's sword burns stuff up in one hit, it's whip severs body parts every single time and it bleeds million degree blood 

[Chilton]

Its awefully long winded, which i think is why noones going into detail
See everything that says Dwarf?
That all needs to be changed.
Mostly.
Kind of.

[mud074]

What file exactly should I copy and edit? I don't think it is the creatures_genesis, but that is all I can find about dwarves 

[SirAaronIII]

I think it's in creature_genesis_beast.

[mud074]

I found the balor files and added the tag, but it is still unplayable. This is how I put in the tag, not bolded of course:
[CREATURE:BALOR_DETAILED]
  [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
  [DESCRIPTION:A dark aura of power surrounds this towering humanoid with huge bat wings. Lurid flames dance over its skin.]
   [NAME:balor:balors:balor]
   [CASTE_NAME:balor:balors:balor]
   [CREATURE_TILE:255][COLOR:7:0:1]
   [FIXED_TEMP:11500]

[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] is an entity tag, not a creature tag.  Just add this to entity_default:

Code: [Select]

[ENTITY:DUMMY]
    [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
    [CREATURE:BALOR_DETAILED]
    [TRANSLATION:DWARF]
    [ADVENTURE_TIER:n]

where 'n' is one higher than the next highest adventurer tier; I don't play that mod so I don't know how many playable races it has.

EDIT:  And make sure the Balor has either [INTELLIGENT] or [CAN_SPEAK] and [CAN_LEARN], as well as [CANOPENDOORS].  These ones are creature tokens.

[Maynot]

The best way to get rid of boogeymen would be to use the advanced world design parameters and set Night Creatures to 0.  Boogeymen are night creatures and since there are none, you will not have them ambush you on the next world that you create.

[mud074]

YES! I got it working Thanks everybody.

EDIT: my new world I just created is in the "age of balor and hill titan"

EDIT2: I have not seen a single human yet, all the towns and fortresses are empty

[Javarock]

YES! I got it working Thanks everybody.

EDIT: my new world I just created is in the "age of balor and hill titan"

That means theres only a balor(s) and a hill titan(s) left o_o
