Please help destroy my mental block -or- Halflings are hard ::RESOLVED::
« on: March 02, 2013, 02:06:06 pm »
Ok i'm having that modding problem where you know it should work becuase you've done it 80 times before but it just won't, and you know it's something stupid that is staring you in the face? Y'kno that problem?

What is wrong with this entity? It will not appear in worldgen. The creature works fine, I've tested it in the arena.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I've never been so mad at a hobbit before. It's still a WIP, but it should at least show up in legends. The Most infuriating part is that it did show up at one point (only to conquer the elves and get subsequently wiped out my giants, to my amusement), but I've done a bunch of work on it since and I'm not sure what made it break.

Tokens that don't have any arguments (the ones that you have shown above) shouldn't have colons. Remove the colons from all the argumentless (for lack of a better word) tokens and see if that helps.

I don't remember where I picked up that bad habit from.

But no, that did not fix it.  :-[

I don't think GRASSLAND is a valid biome. 
You might mean GRASSLAND_TEMPERATE, or ANY_GRASSLAND.
Does this not appear in your error log??

2 is pretty low support value, you might find they will spread faster with maybe, 4.

What, if anything, does the errorlog say?

Edit: Smake's right, GRASSLAND is not a biome.

Yep, meant to put [ANY_GRASSLAND]. Thanks =)

Still, the problem is that no halflings are being placed during civ placement. I don't want them to spread, I want them to chill in their peaceful villages. I initially had them starting at grasslands and preferring spreading to glaciers to show them down, which worked ok.

But yea, even so, they should still place. The only error it found was that it does not like the color token "1", which is a mistype for hair/eye color. My high elf civ has the same problem, but it still works.

You are sure they would place with no supported land biomes?

Yep that was it. Like I said, staring me in the eyes.

Made sure that was the only problem by removing the support tokens from another race.

Thanks everyone
