Creatures

What exactly is the purpose of having 18 "Colors" columns? --Quietust 21:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I want to put all the colors a creature can have, i'm working on it right now....
I want to make 18 cells with the 18 color variations a dwarf can have...
the same with the elves, and so on...
So far I guess 18 is the maximum color variations a creature can have....
If you're referring to the colors that are based on professions (e.g. Miner, Stoneworker, Farmer, etc.), then you should know that those are all hardcoded (and even so, Dwarf Fortress itself only supports 16 colors, one of which is black) - the only colors that can be changed in the raws are caste-specific colors, and no creature has more than 5 castes. --Quietust 21:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
no, I'm refering to the skin/fur/outter tissue layer colors that a creature can have, can't you make nested tables when using the templates???
take a look, one picture is better than a thousand words... :)
Dwarf blah
     

just that the template doesn't seem to accept the nested table for some reason... any ideas?

you were right i didn't need 18 columns in the template... i was confused how the template worked... I edited it back to 1 color column and I have made what I want to do for the dwarves in the Template:L page,

I've just created a template you might find useful - {{rgb|COLOR_NAME}}. --Quietust 00:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
