adding weapons to a civilization
« on: July 11, 2011, 12:37:47 pm »

I'm trying to give my dwarves the ability to create human and goblin weapons. I went into the entity default file and copied the weapons from each civilization to the dwarf civilization entry (the ones they don't have of course), yet when I play fortress mode there is no option to create these weapons, only the default dwarf weapons. I made humans a controllable civ and I could make human weapons.

What am I missing? how can I make my dwarves able to smith human-and-goblin-only weapons?

Did you forget to gen a new world? Otherwise I don't know what the problem could be.

So modifying the raws of an already generated  world has no effect?

Basically all changes to an entity require a regen to take effect, since each civ creates its own record of what it has available to itself during world-gen.

You could try adding the weapons to the raws in the save folder. I'm unsure if it'll work with a pre-genned world, but it's worth a try.

Alas, that is exactly what I tried... sigh... New world it is.
