A bit of help....
« on: August 12, 2011, 05:54:10 pm »

I have a small modded race, and I have a few problems...  One,is it possible to use breathing affects in adventure? And two, the main one, for some reason when I try to read a description of any of my creatures, DF crashes.

For the first, no, adventurers can't use breath attacks or any special attacks that don't rely on a striking bodypart.

No clue for the second unfortunately.

Do you have truetype font turned on? I've heard something about having it turned on causing crashes (when examining things maybe?).

Raws, alright


How would I get the Error log? (I am a noob, sue me.)

I have no clue what truetype is, so probably not.

It's in the main df folder, the same one where the .exe is

The following comes out clean on the error log, and gives all the appropriate colors. I moved a few things around only for personal clarity. You could put the caste tags back where you like them. I didn't realize at first that you had no VERTIBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS so I was trying anything I could.

Outside of formatting changes, bold denotes what I actively toyed with for the last little while. There is a cheat to get the feathers to appear dark blue for the description. It's noted below.

I don't think you really need to insert a soldier tile if you want the tile to be 'G'.
