Dropped armor always "Narrow", "Large", etc. Help!
« on: May 11, 2009, 11:48:15 pm »

Basically what the title said. Whenever I mod a creature to drop a piece of armor, the armor always ends up as the wrong size and unwearable for any race I play as.

Code: [Select]
[ITEMCORPSE:ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_CHAINMAIL:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[ITEMCORPSE_QUALITY:5]

From what I can see, there's no way to mod the specific type of armor dropped in this code. Is there?

remove the [NARROW] tag from the creatures, and make sure they're the same size as the race you're playing.

I'm getting a narrow issue even when playing as a dwarf killing dwarves.

I understand getting large off humans, but I'm confused as to why dwarves even have a narrow drop.

When armor is dropped through a reaction or itemcorpse, the size thing pretty much tends to go out the window. It came up in a post about a week ago.

Semi-solution:

Change the itemcorpse to make kittens drop adamantine wafers. Embark with hundreds of kittens, fuel, and an anvil, slaughter kittens, make adamantine armor, abandon, visit as adventurer, get armor, rule world

Maybe delete the stout tag from the dwarves so that if the armor is size 6 it at least fits them?
