what in the name of god
« on: July 30, 2009, 08:06:12 am »
I was working on a mod recently, and everything was going fine. I had my own megabeasts, my own civs, and my own creatures of every imaginable sort, when suddenly it all went belly-up and I started getting weird things. Elves (Whose civ I had removed from the game) started coming back, and cave crocodiles took over the goblin civs. Cave crocodiles led by a spirit of fire.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? This is the second time this has happened when I was building a mod from scratch. All I've done is taken out creatures and replaced them with others, and changed up the civs a bit. It's also treating regular monsters like megabeasts, giving me treant and satyr megabeasts instead of the ones I wanted.

It's worth noting that this was all working correctly until about the time that I removed hippos from the game. Look, I know hippos are supposed to be powerful, but this is really going too far  :P

When this happened before, it was right after I'd messed with some of the subterranean animals.

 I'm trusting a kind and merciful god has nothing to do with this.

 I think the first time DF starts it creates data entries somewhere that can mess this up. Make a new DF folder with a fresh unzip and place the relevant mod. Then try testing it out there.

Oh wait, "insane" doesn't work on this forum.
Crap, can't think of an alternative.

Delete everything in data/objects and start a new world.

If the problem persists, check the error log.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

It wasn't the data/objects, it was that I had copied the deer entry to make another animal and accidentally left the second as creature:deer.

Apparently having a redundant creature entry causes the game to say, "Oh, look, it's crazy world now. Nothing makes sense! Alligators live in houses!"

You should have seen the first time when I integrated two large mods and had dozens of duplicate entries. Instead of embarking as Dwarves, the game decided to have me embark as purring maggots. Purring Maggots! Crazy game. ;D

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

That would be an awesome mod. Maggot Fortress!

And what would be so wrong about a fortress populated by cigarettes?

Or do you mean piles of wood?

Or do... OH I GET IT

Well, considering dwarves' general tendency toward flammability...
