Ah, memories...

[Gnorm]

Well, I've resolved the sight and breathing issue, but my creature still cannot grasp, fly, or stand. I have added both a brain and the [NO_THOUGHT_CENTRAL_FOR_MOVEMENT] tag, but neither seem to be helping.

[WillowLuman]

[NO_THOUGHT_CENTRAL_FOR_MOVEMENT]           should be

[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]

[Gnorm]

[NO_THOUGHT_CENTRAL_FOR_MOVEMENT]           should be

[NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT]

Thank you, HugoLuman.

My creation is now fully functional in arena mode, but I cannot seem to find any mention of it in any of the three game modes. What tags are necessary to have the creature even spawn?

[WillowLuman]

You'll need a Biome token, for one. Oh, and a time of activity ( [NOCTURNAL], [DIURNAL], [ALL_ACTIVE], etc.)

[Gnorm]

Tried that. I'll just give you the creature raw:

You'll probably know what to do with it.

[Putnam]

You may want to read your errorlog.

[WillowLuman]

BTW, I propose 2 new creature classes for us to use:

[CREATURE_CLASS:SPIRIT]
and
[CREATURE_CLASS:SPIRIT_CORPOREAL]

So we can have certain mystical beings and things that effect only them. Our setting will likely feature both intangible ghost-like spirits and ones with solid or even fleshy physical forms.

[Aseaheru]

If that is done than we need weapons that only effect them, and not solid beings.

[Gnorm]

Progress! After checking the error log, I found out that the creatures were not spawning due to typos in my raws. Now I have a new problem: there is only ever one of the creature in the world, instead of many. Thoughts?

Use [POPULATION_SIZE:number] and [CLUSTER_SIZE:number]. For example, [POPULATION_SIZE:20] [CLUSTER_SIZE:5] would make 20 groups of 5 creatures. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

[StLeibowitz]

The tokens are, I believe, [POPULATION_NUMBER:x:y] and [CLUSTER_NUMBER:x:y], where x and y are numbers. Population number controls how many of each are generated per worldgen tile, cluster number is how many show up in the groups that you encounter.

[WillowLuman]

And [FREQUENCY:X] is the weight for how often they get placed when a region is generated.

Using NO_THOUGHT_CENTER_FOR_MOVEMENT should not be used as a permanent workaround for not having a functional brain though, because that makes the creature immune to having its brain smashed in - unless that's your intended result. In the long run, we will end up with a world that behaves very strangely under any nonstandard conditions (ie. the average df game) if we just care about making it work for a testing instance and not enough about making it work correctly.

If it works with that token, have correctly identified it's a brain issue. Make sure the brain is connected to something, is made of nervous tissue and has [THOUGHT] and try removing the token again.

I have actually managed to correct this issue. I had a [NERVOUS] tag, but not a [THOUGHT] one. My mistake.
