I've change my kobolds/skulking entity to.. something else. Virtually all of the data remains the same, but the creatures are size 2, and I changed the weapon and clothes they have access to. Specifically, they have one weapon and one pants item:

[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_FEEGLE]
[PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_KILT:COMMON]

The weapon entry is:

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_FEEGLE]
[NAME:Feegle sword:Feegle swords]
[DAMAGE:120:SLASH]
[WEIGHT:10]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[CRIT_BOOST:1]
[TWO_HANDED:2]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:2]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]

The pants entry is:

[ITEM_PANTS:ITEM_PANTS_KILT]
[NAME:kilt:kilts]
[WEIGHT:13]
[VALUE:10]
[BLOCKPOWER:15]
[LBSTEP:1]
[LAYER:OVER]
[COVERAGE:100]
[LAYER_SIZE:10]
[LAYER_PERMIT:100]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1]
[SOFT]
[LEATHER]

The problem is that when kobolds spawn, they always have at least a dagger and a pair of pants or a tunic or something. When my Feegles spawn, they have absolutely nothing. The kilt is just (for now) a numbers copy of a skirt, and the sword is just a normal sword except for minimum_size, material_size, and two_handed number changes to reflect the creature size.

Does anything there look out of place?

There's nothing spectacularly wrong.

You could be forgetting to properly initialize your critters, especially if you have them in new files.

[nunix]

Nah, the creature is in creature_standard, and the creature spawns properly itself (little bastards are always breaking into the fort), they just don't show up with any items.

[Deon]

You've made a new world, do you?

[nunix]

Yes. I make a new world and clean out data/objects and /save every time I do changes like this.

[Sean Mirrsen]

And the items? Are the items in existing files?

Also, are the creatures complete copies of another, or did you make a completely new creature? The lack of an [EQUIPS] tag could do this...

[nunix]

It's got EQUIPS. The weapon is at the bottom of item_weapon and the pants at the bottom of item_pants

[Chariot]

if the feegles are thieves, and thats what you're checking, thats why. thieves equip a [SKILL :DAGGER] weapon, while that is a [SKILL:SWORD] weapon

[nunix]

Huhhh. That's verrra' interesting. Well, that's the weapon explained. Is the clothing issue likely the same thing?
