Adding new items
« on: April 05, 2010, 10:51:12 am »

Had a question for adding new items t fortress mode. For awhile I've been wanting to add additional items to the craftsmen shop for barbarian dwarves. Things like bone axes, bone cuirasses, shell-tipped bolts, and the like. What are the documents that I need to edit to get this going?

DF folder -> raw -> objects yields all the text files available to edit.

I've been looking at the weapons file, and there's no information on what they would be crafted out of... the weapons are made available to a civ in the entity_default, and Elves and animalmen have the [WOOD_WEAPON] tag which allows them to make wooden weapons alongside or instead of metal ones.

Bone armor can already be made at a craftsdwarf's workshop by a Bone Crafter, and swords can be made from Obsidian and wood. With some simple modding, you can add the [CAN_STONE] tag to spears and axes, and add a [MAX_EDGE] entry from Obsidian to...

...Huh. Well, this is bizarre. Flint is gone.
