New update: You can start an adventurerer as an animal person.

So I go straight into the raws and add fox people. It all seems correct to me, but I get these errors:

Code: [Select]

*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/creature_foxmen.txt"

This is my code:

I see nothing wrong here.

What is causing those errors?

Stared at this for quite a while before it struck me. Order is important! The creature_foxmen file gets loaded earlier than creature_large_temperate, since F is earlier than L. So your raws are referencing FOX, which hasn't been loaded yet.

Either make your file name creature_zfoxmen or move the foxmen raws to somewhere that will get loaded after FOX.

Thanks, it's working now!

Ok, first I thought that I was just unlucky, but after generating ten worlds without being able to start as a fox man I think I'm doing something wrong. Before I posted this, I did get some different errors which I fixed, but I was able to start as a fox man (although the game crashed when I did that.)

I did not change any code since I started this topic. I am not getting any errors, and I can create a Fox Man in the arena and everything works as I want.

Do I need to do something else before I can start as a particular animal person?

[Bearskie]

Try bumping their numbers by a whole lot. Like, lot lots. And give them massive littersizes. If it works, then its just a simple rarity problem.

[Foxite]

That worked! But why, when I finally find a fox man to start with, does he have to live in an elven retreat, and have no food and water on him?

-.-

[Bearskie]

I see you haven't played as an elf before.

No, I haven't. Please enlighten me.

[Bearskie]

Nothing much to enlighten. Elf civ adventurers start with a weapon on their back and a dagger, that's all.
