[DESCRIPTION:A spotted scaly monster with large, glassy eyes, scales covered in wart-like bumps, and a thick, ringed tail.  She feeds mostly on insects.  Many of them.]

Can someone confirm this would do what I think it does, which is add descriptions for both male and female caste, and then give a juvenile stage to Giant Leopard Geckos?

Even though the Giant Leopard Gecko doesn't have a default description for males and females, and lacks a child in the raws

Im real lost trying to start modding lol

Im trying to update some of Taffer's old stuff and im hitting a roadblock.

You can't use [select] on c_variation_default, so how do you edit broadly animal people?  For example, to add [CV_REMOVE_TAG:LAYS_EGGS] so animal people don't lay eggs.

Or to edit an attack like TALON_SCRATCH_ATTACK to make it deadlier

You can't even cut and replace this file without cutting the entire creature folder it looks like??? or am I misunderstanding?

All I want for Christmas is the ability to put this tileset on the premium version. The classic ascii option works but putting tilesets on top of it failed horribly when I tried earlier.

whenever we get the ability, I plan on installing taffer again and never looking back Iv been using this probably since 2012 when you posted the topic. to me it IS vanilla df haha.

I'm necroing this thread to ask if you are still actively modding and if you plan to port anything to the steam release?

If not I'm going to have to update a bit for myself haha. I adore your biome mods specifically and have played many forts using it.

Anyway just was taking some time to thank my favorite modders for all the free entertainment you've provided me over the years in addition to tarn and toady. I talked to you a few times on discord or wherever it was and I'm pretty sure you helped me a ton with this mod and some tiny custom stuff I was trying to work on
.
Hope all is well! Even if it doesn't update, thanks!!

Hi Taffer,

Iv been using your tile set and vanilla mod for probably as long as you've been making them haha, I think I got the tileset in particular many many years ago and couldn't play DF any other way. I am legitimately depressed that the game has graphics set now and I can't use your beautiful tiles or let your beautiful descriptive words carry me through the game. Il get over it but it's a real feeling.

If you don't update the descriptions at least I will probably have to find a way to update it myself for personal use later!

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks and remind you people love your work. The tilesets and the mods. If you ever do update il be first in line

Re: above conversation, i would kill to have these changes put into the vanilla game.

Im so addicted to this mod I cant play any fortress without it, which means I essentially cant use other mods that ever touch vanilla files LOL. it would save me a lot of effort if most of this would just be vanilla! This plus your latest tileset is the first thing I look for after an update.

Really though thank you. The descriptions are wonderful, the slight changes to combat are fantastic, the bugfixes are much needed. how can i go back to forts without feather tree eggs after tasting the forbidden fruit?

Kinda sad to see this hasnt been updated. I really like using the animal people for more things in world gen in general.

In my ideal world, this and Taffer's "Revised" would both be in the vanilla game haha.

Anyone tried to revive this? or does it work as is without too many problems in 47.04?
