Okay so heres my question I'm onto the ammo part of my Sifi mod and theres 3 to choose from however when i make a new one it doesn't appear to be selectable in the embark screen so I'm wondering if there something I'm not doing like perhaps something that dictates what appears in embark and what doesn't or how its made or something..... so any help on making ammo and weapons would be vary appreciated.

1) don't expect an answer that fast

2) if you actually open up the ITEM_AMMO.txt file and see the ammo you can copy and paste another ammo listing to whatever physical attibutes you want. SAME for the weapons file. just add a nother crossbow.

3) (following up on step 2) remember names of the new weapons and ammo and add them in the civilization list like how other weapons are displayed. in the entity.txt file.

did you mark the weapon and its ammo as useable by your races in the entity file?

for example...

[ENTITY:NUKEM]
   [ADVENTURE_TIER:1]
   [CIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE:SPACE_MARINE]
   .(etc)
        .(etc)
        .(etc)
   [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_ASSAULT_RIFLE]
      [AMMO:ITEM_ASSAULT_RIFLE_AMMO]
   .(etc)
        .(etc)
        .(etc)

they won't have the option to start with the weapon without defining it, also...if you want to make them, you need to add in a reaction for making them in the reactions file as well as a tag like  [PERMITTED_REACTION:MAKE_ASSAULT_RIFLE] in the entity file to each race you want to be able to make them.

Hope this helps..

Actually, you don't need to add a reaction for making new ranged weapon types. All ranged weapon types that you're allowed to have can be made from the appropriate workshop, IIRC.

well crap...learn something new every day...guess that was a waste of 50 or so lines in my reactions file...heh.
