Can't tame wild giant bat even after changed to [PET]
« on: August 02, 2011, 07:13:01 pm »

I downloaded the Lazy Newb Pack, and set the MOD settings to no aquifers and no exotic pets. I haven't checked if it actually changed it yet, maybe it just didn't change it for the save game?

I also have a caught badger in a trap that hasn't been emptied or reloaded yet, and I can't train her either.

Should it work if all the raws are correct?

This should go into the modding forum.

Also, you need to change the raws in the save file, too, not just the raws in the main game folder.

You're right it should have. And I double checked, the save games weren't updated for some reason, so I manually did it and it works now. Thanks.

the save games weren't updated for some reason

That's because updating the global raws never updates saved games - it only affects newly generated worlds.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

That happens if it's tasted your dwarves' blood before being tamed.

The hydra existed before you came to it's cave, it must already have tasted dwarf blood during the world gen.

That doesn't affect how it acts when tame. Only your dwarves have that property.

Probably something with runesmith. Personally, I've never seen a named creature who was tamed afterwards go berserk.

Or there might be to many dwarves next to it.

WRONG! If a creature is an enemy of your civ, it will attack dwarves even when "tame." A megabeast will become an enemy of a civ just by wandering into a city during worldgen, it seems, so it is hard to tame even non-exotic megas.

I've tamed a couple giants, and a handful of dragons without any problems after they were tamed. I believe this theory needs some science. Preferably without the use of runesmith.

Great! You should probably try capturing a megabeast before it attacks anyone, and another one after it kills someone.
