I am having trouble getting Kobolds to be civ controllable, simply moving the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] from the dwarf entity to the kobold entity doesn't seem to work, the fortress mode just freezes up before it starts.  Also my kobold adventurers aren't starting with daggers no matter what skill level I'm giving them... any suggestions?

[INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] is the tag allowing a race to be playable in Adv.mode PlayNow! [ADVENTURE_TIER] is what allows them to be playable normally. [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] will allow to you to fortress-play anything you like. If the game locks up, it's not a problem with entity tags, it's a problem with whatever else is linked to the entity (plants, animals, equipment, etc.). I don't know all implications yet though.

Also, only swords/axes/maces/hammers/whips/spears/pikes/bows/crossbows/blowguns can be recieved on start in adventure mode. Any other weapons, even if you have the skills set, will not spawn.

thanks, but that doesn't exactly help, has anyone else tried to make the kobolds playable and have run into this problem? I don't want to have to wade through hundreds of different possibilities for why they can't currently be played.

Can you post the entirety of your kobold entity? What Sean said SHOULD have helped and unless you have an errorlog.txt with something useful, no one is going to be able to help without more information.

You can try asking the person who did  A Kobold's Quest and A Kobold's Quest II (Currently writing Questionable Ethics)

my DF is the current and unaltered version, the only thing I have changed is moving the civ entity.  I'd really like to get this to work.  

[nunix]

Er.. you moved the civ_controllable, which influences who can build forts, but.. did you also correctly add adventure_tier, and optionally indiv_controllable, as well? That's what Sean said, and those are the things needed for making something adventure-able. civ_controllable is just for forts.

[vilehermit]

adventure mode for kobolds works, the problem has been getting fort mode to work...  I think the main problem is getting the kobold civilization to appear on the site selection map but I'm really not sure.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that Kobolds live in hidden caves, not civilizations.

However, I have no clue how one would go about fixing that without regenning a new world where kobolds do build civilizations, which would take a bit of modding.

[Kagus]

Not that much, actually.  Just change the [DEFAULT_SITE:CAVE]  and [LIKES_SITE:CAVE] to some other city type (CAVE_DETAILED, CITY, RUIN, TREE_CITY) and you're gold!

That might not be what's causing it though.

[vilehermit]

Yea I figured that out, it makes me sad I can't get my kobolds to live in simple caves though...  

[Untelligent]

I didn't quite understand if you got the problem solved from that last post. If you still need help, post your entity raws of the kobolds.

If you figured it out, and the cave thing was the problem, disregard this post.

Happily disregarded.   :p
