Wow, thank you both for the replies! Appreciate it @2chuu4u @PussiMech

Ah! I never actually looked, but this mod changes the gender distribution of male and female. In the original males are supposed to be super rare.

So @Jordicat if you're okay with the males being neglected, you can just go into your mod's folder like so:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods\3226625832
(something like this)
Open the Objects Folder, and creature_valkyrie.txt

In there, you should find the Female caste with a pop ratio of 1. By default it should be 299. Note that these changes will need a new world to properly appear. (The change might take effect on an existing world but only after the date it was implemented in game, not retroactively).

@jordicat sorry havent been maintaining the mod. check @2chuu4u graphics update. the males were originally default humans

I seem to have a majority of male Erinyes, all of whom appear completely naked -- do you have any ideas what may have caused this? I suspect I goofed something up, maybe with the load order :P thanks for your time!

Patch is up! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3447326341

Totally!
I had a busy week but I'll be freed up again soon, I just gotta get around to finishing it up. :)

@2chuu4u if you could that would be great. im swamped at my job :C

I don't know about any crashes, but I'm working on some patches for SEEU's mods that will fix a lot of equipment bugs.
Mostly bringing this up here so that Pussimech doesn't feel the need to spend the time. Unless they want to of course :p

@Star-Demon When is it crashing? During world generation, or when you do something like click on them?

Mod is crashing the current version - would appreciate an update to this mod!

@Probiscis Yeah, I think they don't have them as a "common recipe."
You can add it in the raws, though. In the Entity file, find the armor tokens and add
[HELM:ITEM_HELM_HELM:COMMON]

That should fix it. Also, the actual placement of that line shouldn't matter. Just for consistency.

Do Erinyes not have helmets? I can't seem to find out how to craft any.

Yes! Super helpful. I've been checking out a few Civ mods for ideas and to learn how things work. Two favorites of mine right now are Halflings and Succubus, because of how much they divert from normal.

I would like to use some LUA functions to create unique mechanics, although I am still currently a bit directionless on how I want to design them.

I've been playing your version for now to see if I might find some ideas while I play.
Like "Ah I think Erinyes should have this, or they should do that instead." ect :)

Also helped me understand portraits.

@2chuu4u i found it helpful to download a few mods and looking through their text files here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods. df also stores mods here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods for already created worlds.

@PussiMech lol true! I've been learning how, but am a bit directionless for the time. This mod was helpful though for some of my learning process. Especially when someone found what caused the Swimming skill to go missing!

@ThePhantomX64 the should still work but you'd have to test. @2chuu4u all fun until you have to code the whole thing

Do you think the original Author's other race mods would work still in the current version of the game?

Ah, yes. That's fair enough, since at least it makes them playable. But I'm trying to plan out a more unique mod. Basically what we'd hope SEEU would make whenever they come back (could be next week, could be next year. Could be never?).

So mechanics around their Ruling Council, living in Forest Retreats, the low reproductive rate, ect.

I'm also pondering if they should keep the immortality and not needing to eat or drink. Just stuff like that.

If I can, I would add an incentive to build above ground rather than digging, but the lack of metals would make it really hard. It might not be worth it.

@2chuu4u nope. theyre basically dwarf reskins

Ou, thanks! Did you add anything else like more noble seats or workshops?

might want to make the world a atleast a medium size since sometimes there isnt enough room for all races. assuming you have multiple race mods

@2chuu4u works in boh advenure mode and fortress mode

I don't think this mod makes them playable in Fortress mode, right? Just Adventure?

I'm actually working on a fanpatch to make them playable in Fortress Mode, and I'm looking for some fan feedback to help me decide unique gameplay characteristics to give them.

nah you can choose to start as either one of them, if im not mistaken the migrants that arrive are from the race of your civ aswell, so erinyes get more erinyes and dwarves more dorfs

Does this race replace dwarfs for the fortress mode?

Ye seems like it was indeed the problem, adding that tag to the creature tab already made the swimming skill show up in the adventurer skill selection tab

Hey I think I found the problem
I found this tag on the vanilla humanoids: [SWIM_LEARNED]

But the erinyes (and the gnolls and ratfolk aswell) don't have that tag, meanwhile naga also have [UNDERSWIM] and [SWIMS_INNATE]

@Moonwarden64 i'll take a look at it. last time i checked they had swimming skills

they seem to be missing the swimming skill on the creation tab (dwarves skill in order are "... archer, observer, swimmer, climber,..." for the erinyes the order is "...archer, observer, climber..."

@Asturias nice. putting on certain clothes should hide the legs but thats how their sprites have been since the original

@Asturias yeah unsub from the original mod. this uses the same files which might cause conflicts if both are running

@Nuarliel okay good. have fun

@PussiMech yes thats the screen. I went throu steps you posted and now it works :) Thank you very much for your help and I am sorry for the huge mistake between chair and keyboard on my side :D

steps i took to make sure it was clean. it removes the mod and the installed instance df uses for saves:
0. unsub from the mod
1. right click steam icon and click on "open file location"
2. navigate and delete "sm_cv_valkyrie_adventure (4)" following the path: steamapps/common/Dwarf Fortress/data/installed_mods/sm_cv_valkyrie_adventure (4)
3. repeat step 1
4. navigate and delete "3226625832 (4)" folder following the path: steamapps/common/Dwarf Fortress/mods/3226625832 (4)
5. resub to the mod

I hope this helped @Nuarliel. if not let me know :>

@Nuarliel this is the screen we're talking about right? https://imgur.com/a/zuodX8m

@PussiMech Tried to resub, validate the game files, reset steam, reset PC, but still no luck for me.

@Nuarliel try subbing and unsubbing. i'll also retest to make sure

Thank you for looking into the assignment issue. Unfortunately for me it still dosent work. Tried new world only whit this mod for testing to avoid mod conflicts. GuessI do it the hard way, start dorf fort and then make bunch of Erinyes adventurers and try to move them in :D

@Ysehporp i'll leave that to the original creator since it should already be playable or if i get impatient i might. i'd do it for a scooby snack tbh

Would you consider doing the same for the Stella Elves? I'd love to be able to play as them with their unique abilities

fixed the assigning roles issue. also replaced the male sprites with something not so default looking. going to test and push an update :>

@Ysehporp np. id assume youi could just replace these files with the mod inside your installed mods folder but i havent tested.

@Nuarliel i'll take a look at that :>

Also ty! You're a hero for updating some of these, I was very worried they wouldn't get added. Though I'm kinda surprsied cause i was able to play an erinys in adventure mode in one file with the old mod... but never again XD so hopefully this will let me grab one again in the future idk whats going on.

Is there a way I could apply this mod to my existing world over my original mod?

They work in fortress mode for me too. Even new migrants arrived for me. Only problem I had whit them is that I cant assign titles like manager, book keeper etc. Otherwise they work just fine.

@Victim weird. only thing that comes to mind that might be the issue is the savagery level or world size

Did some testing, its not the mod, but not a clue what I did lmao. Just happened to coincide with me downloading the mod, the worldgen profile I've been working on started to be racist against dwarves.

@Comrade Fox lemme know if anything explodes

@Victim whats the world size that you're generating?
