Would it be possible to allow dwarves to make weapons considered 'foreign', such as scimitars and what not?

I recently struck me first adamantine vein, and would like to replace the foreign weapons my militia captains have with candy ones.

[krisslanza]

I think the only way would've been to change the raws so those items aren't foreign and are actually makeable by Dorfs.

As it stands the only way for it to happen is a fey mood, and hope.

[doomxorz]

what raws is the foreign tag in? I didnt see anything in item_weapons

[krisslanza]

It's not a tag, but any weapon/armor type that exists in the game but isn't in the civilization's raws as an item they can make is considered "foreign" as I recall. So if you wanted to have all dwarves make scimitars, you'd have to add them into the civilization's raws.

Oh that makes sense, thank you erm.. which raw file is that?

[doomxorz]

Nevermind, found it, entity_default. Another question: how much does whitespace matter in raws?

It does not, but it makes everything MUCH easier.

[doomxorz]

Okay thanks. Hmm. I've added the foreign weapons to the dwarven civ, but the workshops don't offer the making of them. Is that moddable?

[Scelly9]

It is. You need to find the workshop files though, I can't remember where they are.

[doomxorz]

are they not in the raws?

[miauw62]

They are, IIRC, it is in a reactions file, and you have to gen a new world for that, again, IIRC.

To convert Scimitars from a foreign to a domestic weapon, you don't need to make any changes to workshops, only add [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SCIMITAR:FORCED] in the Dwarven section of entity_default.  But any changes to your entity probably can't be made in an existing world (there is a stickied thread on that topic in this forum, if you want to read more.) In the new world they will just appear normally in your forges, manager list, etc.

If you want to create a custom workshop that makes Scimitars, that is a different way of doing it, and that requires editing reactions and workshops.  But still, you'd have to change your Entity to give yourself access to that workshop.

hrrm.. I dunno that its worth making a new world.. But thank you!

If you're not opposed to using DFHack, you can very easily accomplish this using the "lua" command: just type df.global.world.entities.all[df.global.ui.civ_id].resources.unk8[1]:insert(0,20) and you should be able to make scimitars at any of your forges. If you want to add the ability to create other types of weapons, run the command for i,j in pairs(df.global.world.raws.itemdefs.weapons) do print(i,j.name) end to get the proper numeric subtype, then rerun the above command with that number instead of '20'.

You can use similar commands to add other types of items (ammo = unk8[4], armor = unk8[3], helms = unk8[5], gloves = unk8[6], shoes = unk8[7], pants = unk8[8]); in the next release, those will be replaced by more reasonable field names (weapon_type, ammo_type, armor_type, etc.).

hrrrmm... I typed that, with and without 'lua' before it, and it said command not recognized
