So I'm messing around with DFHack and creating some items (Using the createitem command, obviously) and I decided to make myself a crutch. (My adventurer's missing a leg from when he fought a dragon, and crawling everywhere is annoying) but strangely enough it immediately crashed the game. In fact, it crashes every time I try to spawn a crutch. And it's not just my game, either, I downloaded another copy just to test it out. The command I'm inputting is "createitem NONE:ITEM_NONE_CRUTCH OAK 1"

Any ideas on how I can get around this? And before you say so, no I cannot find one in a store somewhere. Trust me, I've tried.

That is not the raw code for a crutch item, it should be.... I forget.
Try CRUTCH:NONE, that might work, if not take a look at the wiki.

Look up the crutch token instead of trying to guess it...

[Dastardly Jack]

Er... I did look it up.

Anyways, nevermind. I figured it out myself after some guessing. Turns out you just type "createitem ITEM_CRUTCH material #"

Who knew?

[Putnam]

... it's CRUTCH:NONE. That's what the article I just linked said.

[Dastardly Jack]

Right, but that crashed the game. In fact, any item with the NONE bit on it that I tried to spawn crashed the game. (Backpacks included.)
But when I got rid of the 'NONE' subtype in the command, it worked perfectly.

So, that's pretty neat.

[Putnam]

No, NONE:ITEM_NONE_CRUTCH did. Does CRUTCH:NONE?

[Dastardly Jack]

Yes, if it included NONE in any way it crashed the game. Oh, and since the problem has been solved, I'm done with this particular thread.

Oh, by the way, I messed up earlier. The command that DID work was actually

"createitem CRUTCH material #" without the ITEM_ in there at all. Weird.

[Putnam]

Because ITEM_ isn't necessary... pretty much ever, actually. Toady only uses it as convention.

[Quietust]

Typing CRUTCH:NONE doesn't make it crash - I just tried, and it reports "Unrecognized item type" because DFHack's Items module contains a bug which makes it return an error if you try to specify a subtype for an item that doesn't use subtypes (even if that subtype is NONE, as used in the raws).

Trying to specify an item type of NONE (e.g. NONE:WHATEVER) will definitely crash the game, because DFHack's Items module also claims that "NONE" is a valid item type and createitem doesn't contain logic to filter it out.

Both of the above bugs should be fixed for the next release.

Because ITEM_ isn't necessary... pretty much ever, actually. Toady only uses it as convention.

Actually, the ITEM_ is only used in subtypes defined in the raws, and CRUTCH is an item type (which is entirely hardcoded).

[Putnam]

Yeah, that's what I meant, but I did forget to mention that it's a convention for subtypes.
