Repeated modding failure
« on: March 14, 2009, 07:23:03 am »
Ok, I've made all the necessary modifications I want to my game but... they keep screwing up! I added several new races, along with creatures for that race, and two of them are working perfectly... the other three though, are not.

So I fix the problems outlined to me in the error log, reload a new game, and what happens? Its still screwed up! Strange thing is, when I check my error log this time, it spits out the errors I just fixed! I'm absolutely positive I fixed everything its showing to me, as well. Can anyone explain this for me?

You have generated a new world, correct?  If so, show us the raw additions.  I'm not quite sure what's causing this, but I might be able to figure it out looking at what's been added.

The codes long, but here:

The Entity Code:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Creatures:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And so you dont have to spend forever looking, the errors reported in the log:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As I said before though, I'm positive that I fixed these already...

We all have problems. Some people just have more awesome problems than others.

Getting angry is fun. Getting angry over petty things even better.

Good morning!

This may be a dumb question, but did you remember to delete all the files in the data/objects directory before generating? Otherwise I think it'll use THOSE files instead of what you've got in raw/objects - explaining your errors.

Rochndil, who has done that too...

Hello!

You seem to be missing an [OBJECT:CREATURE] tag at the head of your creature_modded file. And you have made sure that the filename at the head of each file matches up with the filename.txt? I had a lot of trouble with that myself.

Rochndil, still learning...

I also noticed for Orcs, you have [DEFAULT_SITE:DRAK_FORTRESS].

Tried both, still nothing. I would point out now, that Hobgoblins and Gnomes are the two working civs. So dont bother checking them.

I think it's because you're using spaces in some of the the entry names(body tokens in particular).  That doesn't work from my experience; you have to use underscores (shift + '-').
Also, I think some of the Biome tokens are off.  There are multiple types of forest in the game (tropical, temperate, etc.), and I'm fairly certain the game doesn't recognize [FOREST] as referring to any forest.  I'd point you in the direction of the Biome token index on the wiki, but it's currently having technical difficulties.  Sorry  :-\

Argh... for now, I'll just have to set the mods aside and give up. I'll just download something instead. Thanks for all the help though.

Good afternoon!

When all else fails, go back to basics. You know you have races (entities) that work. SO, take one of those entity entries, copy it, rename it, and then change one thing at a time until it either works (yay!) or breaks - if it breaks, you know EXACTLY where it did so, and can try to figure out WHY. A lot of the stuff in DF raws was discovered in exactly this way by the Elder Modders.

Alternatively, you could steal a similar profile from someone's work and tweak it until it's exactly what you want.

Rochndil, who uses other folks's ideas all the time, with due credit and adulation given of course. :)
