Trying to make lead hammers.
« on: February 26, 2012, 05:01:49 pm »
I have been going through my raws for a while now but i cant figure out how to get it to work.

How can i make it so my dwarfs can make lead weapons so that i can get lead hammers?

Look for lead in inorganic_metal.txt:

Code: [Select]
[INORGANIC:LEAD]
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:METAL_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:lead]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:molten lead]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling lead]
[DISPLAY_COLOR:0:7:1]
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
...
and add [ITEMS_WEAPON] to it. Note that this will let any weapon be made from lead, not just blunt ones.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Make the change in your save file's raws. /data/save/regionx/raw/objects inside of your main DF folder.

You also made it mineable, right?

Wha-? of course not. It's already possible to get a precious few boulders from the curious underground structures, so I treasure it that much more.

Yeah, but it'll be worth it. Imagine being sieged - all of a sudden, you find that your dwarves are no match! Then, the dwarven wrecking ball comes along. There are no survivors. At all. I foresee a goblin golf comeback, myself.

I've got my people rocking lead now.. But I did have one unexpected (and logical) problem :D

Set lead to where I could make anything out of it, including anvils.. But lead anvils aren't firesafe and therefore useless :(

Also I figure dragon fire or a hot enough heat source would melt lead chainmail (while snugly outfitting a dwarf..) :O Probably worse to have a helm melt and encase your head in nice squishy molten lead, though :P

Also changed all entities start sites to cities, and gave them tomb and fort building abilities too..
