Masterwork Dwarf Fortress
« on: March 13, 2013, 10:51:47 pm »

Is there a in-depth guide for this mod somewhere? The manual that comes with it just doesn't do all that great a job at explaining things, especially the PLETHORA of new armor and weapons. One of my dwarfs just created an artifact Falcon Knight Arms. What the heck is that? What ammunition does it use? The manual explains nothing! :c Not to mention the massive list of foreign armors. How the heck am I supposed to create a uniform if I have no idea what Rigid Shellplate falls under? Is that plate armor? Leather armor? Hardened leather auuuuuuugh.

So, yeah, any guides for this thing? =/

Try the Modding forum.  That's where all the Masterwork happens.

If you really want to know the specifics, you could nose around the raws. You can find the armor raws for Masterwork in MasterworkDF 2f\Dwarf Fortress\raw\objects and in a folder named, item_armor_masterwork.txt.

You could probably find the weapon thing your moody dorf made under item_weapon_masterwork.

Once you've navigated there, you can press ctrl+f and just search for whatever particular armor you're looking for.

Note that it will take a bit of trawling, most likely, as items are not always in their logical places. After a bit, though you should become pretty comfortable with perusing the raws.

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.
I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Myself, I prefer to use grep for that.
