What do you wish to change about historical figures? Historical figures are rather the product of your entity. For example, if you add VARIABLE_POSITION tokens, the game will generate new positions when needed besides the ones you already wrote.

I was wondering how much I could customize historical figures, for example in terms of caste. I've tried messing with learning rates but it doesn't seem to work. Then I remembered reading somewhere that elves travel the wilderness taming creatures because of a token in their entity, but I haven't discovered anything interesting in the wiki page (except for banditry). That's why I was wondering if I could modify what hiatorical figures each civ can get and such.

PD: okay I'm blind, I've just discovered the WANDERER, BEAST_HUNTER, SCOUT tokens. What about my first question though?

[WinterLilium]

It's me again.

Questions this time:

How does one prevent a creature from spawning normally? That is, if you create a creature for the sole purpose of having it be the transformed version of something, how do you stop it from appearing in other ways?

Edit: Second question was better suited for another thread.

Do not define any biome or placement tags like NATURAL or MEGABEAST. I think.

That is exactly how you do it, though NATURAL only affects AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE and doesn't actually affect spawning.

One side-effect of no biome is the creature never appears in worldgen, even if there are reactions or interactions that ought to make them show up.

Just a quick question, here.

Can I add the [TRAINABLE] tag to creatures within a save's raws, or would I have to make the changes to the default ones and gen a new world for it to take effect?

Most non-entity changes function fairly well.
Adding [TRAINABLE] will cause no problems.
I advise adding them to the default one first, though.

Hey,

I would like to make a small mod for myself that would disable ghosts.
I don't like this mechanic and would love to try a ghost-free fort.

I've done some research and people were suggesting to add [CANNOT_UNDEAD] tag to dwarf race.

Could you please let me know if it's possible and if so, what raws should I change to make it work?

Best regards,
Matt

[Putnam]

They were right.

[gasznak]

Thanks for help!

Should I just edit entity_default.txt file and add an [CANNOT_UNDEAD] tag in any place of [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] section?

Like that:

Code: [Select]

(...)
[ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]
[CIV_CONTROLLABLE]
[CREATURE:DWARF]
[CANNOT_UNDEAD]
[TRANSLATION:DWARF]
[DIGGER:ITEM_WEAPON_PICK]
(...)

Or should I edit some other files as well?

Cheers,
Matt

[BlackFlyme]

It's the creature file that you want to edit, not the entity.

Dwarves are in creature_standard.txt

[gasznak]

Found it. Thanks!

Will do some testing now.

Cheers,
Matt

I'm curious about the behavior of aquatic biome tokens, such as ANY_RIVER or ANY_OCEAN, on entity files. Humans, in vanilla, list such biomes as supported - does this cause them to prefer making settlements adjacent to rivers and oceans?

I've tried using ANY_RIVER and ANY_OCEAN as start biomes for a shore-dwelling civ, but they were unable to spawn in worldgen (I added ANY_WETLAND and they worked fine). Any pointers?

[FallenAngel]

I believe if an entity has water biome tags among others, it will prefer settling closer to the water biome within its other permitted biomes.
This will also grant it products from the water biome.
It does appear ones with ONLY water biome tags fail, since they can't settle close, since that would be in another biome, and they can't settle in the water biome, since it doesn't make too much sense.

Might have a few questions later
