Trying to make new race playable, can't for some reason.
« on: August 26, 2011, 08:11:05 pm »

I've tried putting [ADVENTURE_TIER:4] in it, but it just isn't letting me play as any other race in adventure. any advice?

I think the tag is [IDIV_CONTROLLABLE] for adventurers.

I most likely spelled it wrong, also did you put it in the entity file?
The correct tag is: [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] ripped fresh from the raws.

Most of the time (iirc) you need an entity to adventure as that creature, the entity dosn't have to be an actual civ(you can edit them to have no civilazation but you can still adventure as them.) Im a novice modder so I don't know that much about creating new entities out of the blue.

That would be easy enough. Get the ogre's stats and then use the prerendered data from entity to create their own set. I could probably do it in about 30 minutes.

copy the gpblin entity file, name it something unique instead of "evil" and change the creature tag from goblin to ogre.  add the adventurer token to this entry.  make sure that 4 is not taken up by another entity (such as goblins if you are using my mod)

What happens if multiple races have the same tier?

Add the following to entity_default in the raws:

Code: [Select]
[ENTITY:BRONZE]
[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]
[TRANSLATION:HUMAN]
[ADVENTURE_TIER:4]
[MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:0]

Creature can be something else that you want to play as.

[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] is just for playing as an outsider.

Just to make sure, are you creating a new world after making the changes?
