[SOLVED] Custom Reactions and Metals Questions
« on: April 14, 2016, 03:34:16 pm »
EDIT: THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN A QUESTION THREAD. PLS IGNORE.
EDIT2: Actually, nevermind. This can't go in the 0.42 question thread because I'm running 0.34, and it has little to do with entities and creatures.

I've run across a problem I don't know how to fix - can anyone help out?

I've got a custom reaction I'm trying to get working, which revolves around "honing" slade rock down to metal bars. Firstly, the reaction is permitted in entity_default.txt:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And secondly, it's got its own reaction in reaction_smelter.txt:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Finally, the original slade stone is all prepped up for being used in such a reaction:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

However, when I gen a new world, get the mats together and try to carry out the reaction in a smelter, it shows up in red at the bottom of the available job list on the building, and I can't select it for carrying out. In addition, a superfluous option for "smelt slade Ore" does show up, but only produces four bars, unlike the sixteen my custom reaction is supposed to produce (them slade stones be dense). Any ideas on fixing this?

At least, however, the metal can be made, right? Sure, but that leads to question 2: I can't use it to make stuff. I want to be able to make weapons and a few other gubbins with it, and I've added the relevant tags, but an option for "slade" doesn't even show up in the forge menu under the weapons section (or any other section). How to go about patching this up?

Help with either problem would be greatly appreciated - I've read the modding guides, but I guess I missed something and I'm having trouble un-missing it. Can provide further info on request.

You should either give slade METAL_ORE, which uses the default smelting system, or use a custom reaction, not both. For a custom reaction, you would want this to be your reagent:
[REAGENT:A:1:BOULDER:NONE:INORGANIC:SLADE]
As to the second problem, I'm not sure. Does the errorlog say anything?

This worked perfectly, thank you!

No joy there. However, I tinkered around a little longer and discovered I'd made a fundamental goof: I simply forgot to begin the raw with "[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:METAL_TEMPLATE]". All fixed up now :)
