Solution for cow/bulls (and bonus:getting crossbreeds to
(1/1)
fmunoz:
Pondering a good way to help fixing the male cow problem, and looking at the mules you got I got the idea about adding crossbreeds to the game.
You culd say that cows adn bulls are just the same species.. rigth but they look different and doing this you can breed mules too.
The idea is just add new tag line like this:
code:
[CROSS :DONKEY][CROSS_OFFSPRING:MULE][CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:mule foal:mule foals]
The 1st to things are new,
they say say that a female of this species will breed with male donkeys and you get that offpring named such and such member of such specie.
The end of the line just mimic the normal child lines...
This will be in the horse description if you also want hinnies (sp?) you will need to add another line in the (not yet created) donkey so female donkeys could get pregnant from horses. So if you define your cows as female and create a new race of only males for bulls the cows will need those 2 lines:code:
[CROSS:BULL][CROSS_OFFSPRING:COW][CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:cow calf:cow calves]
[CROSS:BULL][CROSS_OFFSPRING:BULL][CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:cow calf:cow calves]
So you each "child" from the cross with a bull get same chance to be another cow or a bull.
This will be also used to create wolfdogs (able to mate with wolves to get more wolves, dogs to get more dogs)... adding a new creature and a couple of lines to the wolf and the dog.Here is a detailed raw data file example
(also added the [RARE_DOMESTIC] tag as bulls and wolfdogs should be rarer than cows and normal dogs)
