I'm running a modded version of the 23...23b release with creature_savage_tropical, creature_dinosaur, and some others.  I played in a tropical forest in the untamed wilds.  I got a bunch of dinos (significantly more than previous games.)  More importantly, I got a huge number of dark green Ps.  When I checked them out, there were "nothing."  When they sacred dwarves they were "nothing."  I've encountered them in previous versions, but never in this number.  I think I've encountered them in non-modded games, but I'm not certain.

Any idea why they're here and ways to have whatever was supposed to generate actually do so?

Thanks,
Rylen

They're probably "pterodactyl hatchlings".  There were some stray spaces in the original modfile that will cause that.  Grab the latest version from New Creatures.

There used to be immigrant dwarves that had armor made of "nothing",
ex: Rhino gloves
Nothing gloves

Toady fixed it in a previous patch, however. I think the null monster itself did use to spawn, but was also corrected (it was extremely-rare).

This occurs when the custom creature text file has spaces in the creature names. On the part where its "Name :pig :pigs :piglets" or something like that, if you have a space in there, it will call the animals "Nothing child" and "Nothing meat" etc.

On that last message, I had to disable smilies to prevent "Name :pig :pigs :pigs" but that put spaces into it. So, there shouldnt be spaces. Smilies are screwing with my formatting.

That fixed it.  Without having to even create a new map.
