I noted that these things (noted in bold) are from my mod. I know for certain that none of these things are standard within the game, so if you copied only my android race code you should either remove these or copy their relevant data into the other files. I do not think this is why it isn't showing up in the menu (which is most likely due to the fact that you have no ragdoll graphics for it yet) but will cause other problems.

Wow, thanks for that, but It still doesn't show up in the start menu...

Well, then I suggest you take a look at:

M.D.R (Mobile Defence Robot);//name------------------------------
6;//identifier
1;//visible in start menu
0;//side
41;//start area

and make sure you don't have another race that also has 6 as its identifier. For it will cause it to overwrite your M.D.R race. Which will mean it will never show up.

EDIT: I'm somewhat certain that this is your problem.

I'm sorry but this problem is persistant, not only have I checked that it is a different number, I've also moved it into a new mod folder, and I'm still having no luck what so ever.

Did you make sure to paste your code before the end of the file? Remember, if you pasted it after the end of the file line it will ignore your code. This might be your problem.

Have you made some ragdoll graphics yet?

Have you already defined creature 888 in creature.dat?

Have you declared start animation 999 in animation.dat?

Your a god Uber, you've fixed it! All Hail!

EDIT

Well atleast it's in the Menu, but it crashes now whenever I try to play as my race, it doesn't with the others mind you...
I fixed the problem, now I have to fix the graphics for the race >_<

I'd suggest that you make two creatures (or more, depending on whether or not you want the creature to have both of those attributes at once) that are exactly alike, except the first doesn't start with those attributes, and the second does. Then you just replace creature A (attributeless) with creature B (the one with attributes), and that should be it.

yeah i know but a weapon does this so i would need so many different weapons.............

You mean that the creature would gain attributes due to being shot by weapon X?

# quote

NOSBoi 7 years ago

Yes a Weapon but then i would need one for each type of creature i wanted to be able to be affected which is quite a lot.......

Hi i started wondering about changing the maps and their layout and thought: is there any way to create a "World Map" with "Cities" on it which the player can click on and teleports them to various other maps?

Sounds fairly easy to do.

# quote

Crazy 7 years ago

yes, look at the Wazzal II code. you would have to have a character on this "map", with which you walk around and click varous plot objects that teleport you (ie. the psionic portals in the deafult mod) to another location.

but the question is... how to get back?

Put some sort of an item in the entry spot that teleports you back to where you left the world map, duh...

How would you make trap in the game.

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

You could just make a creature that can't move I guess. It would kill itself on hit. Shouldn't be too hard, I suppose.

By trap I ment something that can trap it's victims.I already know how to make traps like mines.

Just replace the killing wep with something that stuns the creature to be trapped for as long as you want it to be trapped or something.

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

And if you want to make it really fancy you'd make it spawn a new creature, with the graphic of a trapped monster/human/animal. This makes it a LOT more complicated though.

This is a total noob question, but how do I install mods?

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

Just unzip the mod over the Notrium folder. In some cases, you have to unzip it inside the Notrium folder.

# quote

Mattyw 7 years ago

i had to unzip it and open the files such as data sound etc and put them in the notrium files if thst mskes sense

# quote

Mattyw 7 years ago

is ther a guide to make a new ragdoll anywhere

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

Perhaps in the modding FAQ, but I don't know. Perhaps you should pm quanrian. He knows stuff!

# quote

Mattyw 7 years ago

on the map editor i deleted the hermits dialog thing is there a way to get it back with out having to reinstall notrium

# quote

Grim Reaper 7 years ago

By getting a copy of someone else's data files (which practically is the same as reinstall).

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

yo could also just back up the save files/mods and reinstall Notrium.

# quote

Mattyw 7 years ago

ive just reinstalled notrium again, ive still got the old one that has my edits and that, how do i put the hermits dialog in the old one from the new one

# quote

Grim Reaper 7 years ago

You copy all the new data files from the new installation to the old installation, it's really that simple.

# quote

Mattyw 7 years ago

but wont that delete all the new files i made

# quote

Idiota 7 years ago

no, it will only replace the old files and leave the new ones. Trust us on this, it won't go wrong.
