Thank you both! I do have a wagon puller, but maybe something got messed up, I will definitely check. If that doesn't work I will look through that guide and check it out.
Any ideas why a creature wouldn't spawn in fort or adventure mode? Works in arena and legends viewer says that it has outdoor populations, but for some reason I can't get it to spawn.

[bennerman]

Ok, thanks. Finally, I want to give them a "syndrome" that gives everyone around them a slight happiness boost. any idea how I'd do that?

[Putnam]

can't

note that when i say "can't" i mean "without dfhack"

This I don't understand. If your creature is present in the world, it should spawn. Have you tried making it the only creature to spawn in a given biome ? If you did and it didn't work, maybe you are missing something too obvious to notice ? You should post the raws.

He probably changed something from then to now but here is the original post with raws.

Can anyone tell me why these won't spawn in Fort mode or Adventure mode? I have been working for a few hours on these, but with no progress. These were updated from the previous version, but everything else I updated still works.

EDIT:Also I used LegendViewer to check and they do have outdoor populations, I am just not encountering them for some reason.

[Atomic Gamer]

All that has changed is that I removed opposed to life, but that didn't work.

EDIT: Fixed my no trade issue, turns out that during editing my wagon puller lost its tag Thanks for your help!

[bennerman]

I am thinking of making it so good creatures can't be raised as undead, due to their inherent goodness. So far my list includes unicorns and my gryphons. anyone else got any ideas of what should be included in that list?

[milo christiansen]

Do a search for [GOOD], that should give you a list of what the game considers suitable.

[bennerman]

is there any way I can increase the priority of an attack without the 100x priority that ATTACK_PRIORITY gives? 100x seems excessive, but my chimera isn't biting with its snake head at all :<

[Usul]

You could replicate the bite attack, it should do the trick.

[bennerman]

You could replicate the bite attack, it should do the trick.

well, it has 3 bite attacks because it has 3 heads, and 4 scratch attacks. is there any way remove one of the two non-venemous bites and 2 of the 4 scratch attacks?

[Usul]

Assuming your bite attack is something like this:

Code: [Select]

                [ATTACK:BITE:CHILD_BODYPART_GROUP:BY_CATEGORY:HEAD:BY_CATEGORY:TOOTH]
[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
[ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
[ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:100]
[ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
[ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]You should be able to select with wich head it can attack by giving one of its head a different category, something like BY_CATEGORY:HEAD_SNAKE. You can do the same with the scratch attacks.

[bennerman]

yeah, I though of that after I posted that. think I got it so far

[bennerman]

Working on a centaur, and is [LOWERBODY] a REQUIRED TOKEN? (i.e. can an animal live without a [LOWERBODY] tagged bodypart? I just don't want them wearing pants and stuff XD

[Putnam]

No, not required.
