I'm trying to mod guns in but i failed (game crashed). How do i do this. Can anyone give me a template? If i suceed then I will share it with everyone. Hey dual miniguns anyone?

I wonder how guns would work out in DF, when all of them would be like made of wood.

Basically, you'd have to mod them in as normal ranged weapons. I'm not sure if it's possible to add a new skill and weapon type, and besides, you'd be unable to make a machine gun or anything. So maybe you'd just have to make a gun a really powerful crossbow.

Hmm, maybe just a black powder enhanced crossbow.

well wern't the old guns/guns in WoW old muskets anyway? that would work inplace of a crossbow. which the first guns were replacements for the crossbow.

"Marksdwarf" makes perfect sense for guns anyway, doesn't it? Yeah, firing a crossbow is a bit different then a gun but it eventually boils down into steadiness, perception...

[Funkadelic Jive Turkey]

Marksdwarves with high skill\agility are basicly MG42 dwarves anyway, so the dual minigun only needs to be an aesthetic.

I think guns have a more subtle, more global use. Bullets. Gunpowder. Explosives.

A whole new manufactury and new ways of mining!

As for skills, a crossbow requires the same skills as a gun, minus the strength for loading. A gun is a crossbow with small metal bolts and single-use strings packed into them.

Before guns exist, there needs to be gunpowder made at the alchemist's, and bullets made by the smithy.

[Keiseth]

Adamantine Bullets.

Say it with me now.

Guns / crossbows... doesn't really make much difference if you mod them in. Suppose you'd have to produce bullets and muskets... in the real world, there are (as mentioned) entire industries around this area!

On a side note... it'd be oh-so-cool to make explosives, you could booby trap sections of the fort, or the outside to detonate areas of the map for sieges. The existing animations for fire/smoke would look ace.

I hope Toady can make new workshops / industries easier to mod in (is that on the features/bloats list yet?).

Maybe I'll equip the elves with the Barrett BMG .50 with AP rounds and dwarves with a bazooka (minus all the flame, smoke and destruction of rock) and humans with, well can use everything. So piss of the elves in adv. mode then suddenly your leg flys off! (I'ts really gorier in real life!)

[Slanted]

Honestly, if you have masterpiece crossbows firing masterpiece bolts, the difference from an assault rifle is just in your mind.

I'm talking Goblins with three or four bolts in them, dying before they even get a chance to reload their own bow.

So how can I incorporate it into the game? (Dwarf and Adv mode)
