Military Equipment Organization
« on: March 29, 2012, 08:21:08 pm »

Lately I have been wondering if there is any way at all to organize weapons and armour equipped so I didn't have to play a guessing game of if that *candy sword* is already being used, or if it is the one I just made. Thanks in advance.

Don't use specific equipment designations?

Not really beyond going to the individual soldier, deleting the weapon they currently have in their equipment list and using "Assign specific weapon" (which will then force that specific weapon)... so if its *candy sword* and not -candy sword- you want that's the only way to do it. So you'd go to "m" military > "e" equipment > scroll to the position you want, scroll to the item on the right (i think its + and -), hit enter to delete it, > "W" (shift) for weapon selection > make sure your still on the right position/squad, +, - again to select individual weapon, it will pop up a dialog showing what weapons there are in the fort that are un-used, and un-assigned.

Hope that messy paragraph helped, sometimes its easier to read something restated then off the wiki... I know how that goes. (I think the wiki editors are crazy derps anyway).

Not a bad idea, if a bit slow.  You can theoretically pause, assign an item, forbid it, assign an item for the next dwarf, forbid that item, etc.  Then unforbid it all and unpause.  If that works...
