I wanted to find an explanation of what the raws in the weapons mean, so i can set the raws for a custom weapon I want.

And how do I bring my barf sword into existence, such as it being creatable and people already having them in the world.

What's the barf sword?

[TheEpicRanger6]

A custom weapon idea I have and I want to be REAL!

Basically, a solid barf puddle you can cut people with,

[Asin]

Hmm...

First, you make a material called "barf" and make it so you can make weapons out of it.

That's about it really. If dwarves find "barf", they can make barf swords with it.

What shoulkd I set damage and other stats to, maybe a good explaination. And how do i make a barf material, and be able to have this sword appear naturally in the world.

Here's the stats for the standard Battle Axe. Numbers may be adjusted since I copied this from my own install based on DF Revised.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_AXE_BATTLE]
[NAME:battle axe:battle axes]
[SIZE:800]
[SKILL:AXE]
[TWO_HANDED:47500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:42500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:4]

The format is ATTACK:EDGE/BLUNT:contact area:penetration size:verb2nd:verb3rd:noun:velocity multiplier
Penetration size currently only matters for edged attacks.

[ATTACK:EDGE:40000:6000:hack:hacks:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:40000:6000:slap:slaps:flat:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100:1000:strike:strikes:pommel:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:3:3]

Go through item_weapon.txt and compare different weapon values. Spears have more penetration and smaller contact areas, swords have bigger contact areas, etc.

As for getting it made out of a specific material, that gets tricky. Civs try to make their weapons out of metal by default, and will average towards better weapon-type metals if they are available. Sometimes you get wacky stuff like silver whips if they don't have a lot of iron/copper.

Wood weapons only get made if the civ has [WOOD_WEAPONS] in its entity file, except for ranged weapons - which can always be made of wood OR metal. However, the civ will prefer metal if available.

You can make a reaction which creates the weapon out of the exact material you want (like a glass sword or what have you), but you have to remove the weapon from your allowed list - otherwise, traders will just bring metal versions. This means the weapon is "foreign", which doesn't make it any harder to equip, but traders of your race will never bring it naturally.

I'd like to point out that vomit already exists as a material in DF. It's not in the raws, unfortunately, so you can't edit it to make it weapons-grade, and as far as I know it only appears in puddles and smears, mostly in a trail between the above-ground forest and your subterranean wood stockpile.

If you're making a barf sword, you should make the material apply a syndrome that causes vomiting.

[bloop_bleep]

Material syndromes aren't applied when a weapon is used.
