So I picked up DF modding about a week ago. I desided to add SWAMPTROGG from Space Funeral as an in-game monster. It works completely fine on the Arena, but it seems to fail to appear in-game. At least Legend Viewer doesn't mention Swamptrogs and doesn't have them in Race drop-down menus. Could be Legend Viewer's code, though.

Here's this beautiful bastard:

 Anyway, here is the raw, maybe I'm doing something wrong here.

creature_custom.txt
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If I succeed adding this bad boy in the game, I'll concider giving him a trance attack, allowing him to paralise his enemies, just like in Space Funeral. I've tried this already, but, sadly, it didn't quite work.

You might try ANY_WETLAND, ANY_GRASSLAND, and ANY_FOREST for the biomes, rather than WETLAND, GRASSLAND, and FOREST.

Thanks a ton, everything works! Such an obvious thing, really, wonder how I didn't notice this. Welp, I'm off hunting me some swamptroggs.

nobody in their right mind makes a creature from scratch, so i don't see why you're self-deprecating for copying and editing dragons

Yeah, nothing wrong with copy+pasting. It's way too tedious to completely write a creature from scratch, especially if you were to make it with multiple castes.

Making a shop require a supply of magma to work (this is not NEEDS_MAGMA); I presume this is hardcoded?

Nope, I was wrong.

Is monotheism still impossible? I know the deity system was reworked in the new version, to the extent that the old dfhack moddablegods plugin no longer works apparently. Is there any way to jury-rig something resembling monotheism?

Also, what happens if I have two LAND_HOLDER positions for each LAND_HOLDER_TRIGGER tier?

...It is NEEDS_MAGMA, unless by "require a supply of magma" you mean something completely different.

anyone know what the effects of a syndrome adding NO_AGEING to a creature, for short periods of time, would have in the long run?

Is it possible to create custom pet sets for modded entities? For example, if I want to create a desert-dwelling race of beduins and mercs, can I ban cows, water buffalos and other non-desert animals and add snakes, coyotees and other desert creatures?

it's not, we're stuck with really wide category fuckery, but would you believe that Toady just brought up having finished that exact framework for the next version? hang on to that idea

The current system sort-of-kind-of works as is.
If you strip off all the vanilla COMMON_DOMESTIC tags, and go wild with PET, then you should get a nice variety in livestock between different civs.
One of the first things I did to my own raws, since I'm a sucker for diversity.

Two problems:
1) This just ensures that civs' livestock species match their biome, but it does mean that any civs living in the same biome would still have the same animals.
2) This won't guarantee any useful animals. If you do this, might wanna leave COMMON_DOMESTIC on sheep. That guarantees the full range of animal products to every civ, plus it actually makes sense, since ovines are native to just about everywhere grass grows.

Not until next version.
