I don't think it'll errorlog too much.

[scamtank]

Yeah, the tag just isn't recognized by the game anymore. It's just pointless trash taking up space.

[DragonDePlatino]

There exists ANIMATED and CHILD graphics, but are there ANIMATED CHILD graphics?

[Meph]

No, I dont think so.

What may be causing the "no farmable crops" rejection at worldgen? It didn't happen in 0.34.

So, um... any updates on this? It's kind of halting my progress.

I've been getting this rejection a lot in 0.40.X. And the worlds that I do generate are those that didn't get civilizations of certain entity types (I think I've narrowed it down).

I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried adding all the farming tags to them, adding the goblins' no_eat to the creatures, and adding the 0.40.X super-huge library of plants; doesn't help.

Two of the entites have non-sentient castes; I've tried making them all intelligent, didn't help either. They have the same biome and site tokens as goblins (with dark_fortress replaced by cave_detailed, as it caused freezing).

[scamtank]

Without seeing anything, I can only guess. Could exclusively herbivore entities have started in biomes that don't support any plant life (as permitted by the START_BIOME:ANY_LAND that includes glaciers, mountains and tundra)?

[Valikdu]

Um... there's no herbivore tag. And I've tried adding the tags from goblins (bonecarn and no_eat).

[Meph]

But there is a SPECIFIC_FOOD tag, just look at pandas. You can make your own herbivores that way.

[Valikdu]

I didn't actually want them to be herbivores, anyway. Right now, they have a problem with actually existing. The "without crops" thing. I've posted the entities' raws here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=146997.msg5908138#msg5908138

[scamtank]

Considering the nature of the error, I'd start with narrowing down the list of biomes they can start in. If [START_BIOME:ANY_FOREST] gives you no hiccups, there could be something wrong with subterranean plants.

[Valikdu]

there could be something wrong with subterranean plants.

I dunno. Most default underground plants are still there, and there is a depth 1 edible_raw plant and one with drinks.

I'l try playing with the biomes some, then.

What new .40.xx creature tokens should I be aware of when updating a custom creature from 34.11? I'm aware of the ODOR tags, along with the new GAIT movement changes, but is there anything else noteworthy? I also heard that some old 34.11 tags were phased out for .40, would anyone happen to know what those tags were?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

[LIKES_FIGHTING] was retired, but won't cost errors.

ODOR tags are not neccesary and would default to defaults if not present. Apart from that, attacks should also have [ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:x:y]

SPEED was removed entirely, and LIKES_FIGHTING rendered meaningless (reputedly it already pretty much was since it was only used for one thought.) The important new tokens are the attack tokens below, and you may want to replace [GRAZER:x] with [STANDARD_GRAZER]. Most usable new tokens are in the following spoiler:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Simple tokens:
CANNOT_JUMP
CANNOT_CLIMB (only needed for creatures with hands that shouldn't climb)
LOW_LIGHT_VISION (takes a number, 0 probably being normal and 10000 being perfect)
MULTIPART_FULL_VISION (creature has 360 degree vision if it has multiple heads, probably)
NO_VEGETATION_PERTURB (probably means it leaves no tracks in vegetation)
ODOR_LEVEL (how smelly the creature is - 50 default, 0 odorless)
ODOR_STRING (how the smell is described; omitting it means that it smells of the creature)
SMELL_TRIGGER (how good the creature's sense of smell is. Lower is better. 50 is default, 90 is human sense of smell, 10000 means no sense of smell)
STANCE_CLIMBER (can climb using its stance parts, normally requires grasp parts)
STANDARD_GRAZER (sets the grazer value according to a (generous) hard-coded formula; GRAZER is still a valid token)
VISION_ARC (takes two numbers - the first is the binocular vision arc, the second is the non-binocular vision arc)

There is also the ORIENTATION tag, which takes a gender (not caste) and three numbers and governs sexual attraction for that gender. The numbers are weights for not interested, lover possible, and marriage possible.
Next, there is the SENSE_CREATURE_CLASS tag, which takes a creature class (like GENERAL_POISON), a tile, and a color - when the senser cannot see a nearby creature with that class, the creature is displayed with the given tile.

Finally, there are the attack tokens:
ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER takes two numbers - how many ticks it takes to make the strike, and how many to recover from it. Mostly the numbers are 3:3, for kicks they are 4:4.
ATTACK_FLAG_BAD_MULTIATTACK means that the attack isn't effective for use in multi-attacks, and has the counterpart ATTACK_FLAG_INDEPENDENT_MULTIATTACK.

Is it possible for modding raws in one file to completely screw up stuff in unrelated files?  I think my wolf-eagle might be to blame for the complete absence of shelled creatures in water, which sucks, because I'll have to rebuild it more or less from scratch.
