Summary0010274: Some animal people have extra fingers
DescriptionBecause of a typo in the raws, certain types of animal people have extra fingers.

In c_variation_default.txt, on line 73-76:

    [CV_CONVERT_TAG]
        [CVCT_MASTER:BODY]
        [CVCT_TARGET:QUADRUPED_NECK]
        [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:HUMANOID_NECK:3FINGERS]

The 3FINGERS part causes animal people that already have front toes defined to gain three extra fingers, which can be seen when targeting specific body parts in adventure mode.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information- To fix this, remove replace [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:HUMANOID_NECK:3FINGERS] with [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:HUMANOID_NECK].

- QUADRUPED_HOOF creatures also have 3FINGERS, but they don't have toes to begin with, so it doesn't cause an issue.

- QUADRUPED creatures do not get this conversion, while QUADRUPED_NECK creatures do.

Bug is still present in 47.02, and still is a one-line fix.

The bug report and above comments claim this is a one-line, easy fix, but the proposed changes cause problems. From the error log, where the only thing changed from vanilla is the proposed fix:

To me it doesn't look like this is fixed as easily as the bug report implies.

This bug is still a thing in version 47.05. I, too, noticed it in Dwarf Portrait. Perhaps it's not a one-line fix but a pretty easy one regardless. An example of such could be:

In body_default.txt:
    Add the new empty tag [BODY:0FINGERS]
In creature_large_tropical.txt:
    Add the 0FINGERS to the [BODY] tags of the ELEPHANT, CAMEL_1_HUMP, CAMEL_2_HUMP, RHINOCEROS, and GIRAFFE creatures.
In c_variation_default.txt, under [CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON]:
add the following:
[CV_CONVERT_TAG]
        [CVCT_MASTER:BODY]
        [CVCT_TARGET:0FINGERS]
        [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:3FINGERS]
and replace:
[CV_CONVERT_TAG]
        [CVCT_MASTER:BODY]
        [CVCT_TARGET:QUADRUPED_NECK]
        [CVCT_REPLACEMENT:HUMANOID_NECK:3FINGERS]
with:
[CV_CONVERT_TAG]
        [CVCT_MASTER:BODY]
        [CVCT_TARGET:QUADRUPED_NECK]
