Is there a way to clean the corrupted bloodsteel gear my archaeologist keeps finding, and I have to pry from the hands of my troops before it does something horrible to them?

I know I can melt it down and have the temple clean those bars, but it makes finding all these interesting legendary weapons a bit pointless if I have to turn them into bars of stuff that's not going to get used.

About vanadium- would it make sense to use it as mithril or welded mithril ingredient? Currently mithril ore seems extremely rare, at least on my maps, but steel + silver alloy is pretty easy to make in big quantities

am i posting in the wrong spot?

if not how can i remove the overly long attack names?

[Billy Jack]

Edit all of the attack strings in item_weapon.txt

[blazing glory]

okay another question whats the difference between them?

[evictedSaint]

Super-quick question:  does MWDF automatically fix the born-vs-migrant size issues? 

If I remember right, Putnam or someone else good with modding made a script to fix it, and that sounded like something MWDF would include and run automatically.

EDIT: Yes, it was Kurik Amudnil, not Putnam who made the size fix, sorry.

[Meph]

Kurik Amudnil made the fix, and yes, is included.

The difference in the attacks is not much, its just for more interesting combat logs in fort mode. I have to see if I can come up with something for adventure mode, to make them less obnoxious.

I searched for it and nothing relevant came up. How do I process wolframite into a workable form? There doesn't seem to be either a processor or smelting option for it. Does it require a magma smelter or did I just derp and miss something?

Nevermind, I figured it out. And feel stupid because I read over the manual twice before I saw what I was looking for. >_<

Crucible makes all the new metals, like wolfram, mithril, cobalt...

Now that Rendermax is up, I have some questions about its use.

I like the way rendermax looks, but I don't really like the way it plays. Can I generate a fortress in 2D print mode with Rendermax off, and later on turn Standard print mode and Rendermax on for pretty pretty screenshots? Can I turn Rendermax on from DFHack without changing the GUI settings? Would switching between them have any chance of messing up save games and the like?

[Meph]

yes, yes and no. You can toggle it, you can toggle it from dfhack instantly, and no you cant mess up saves.

how do i make familiars for my mages? i got lucky and embarked with a level 3 earth mage so i brought a couple changelings with but unsure how to change them :x

[Billy Jack]

Looking at the RAWs on 4a, it appears that sprites are back in for the interactions.  They were fixed to changelings in 4.

At least the descriptions in creature_standard.txt is referencing sprites again. I don't know anything about the interactions to see if they are working correctly for converting familiars.

[zach123b]

mm guessing something is wrong with embarking with both the earth mage and changelings cause i'm not getting a familiar
hopefully it'll just take some time or i'll have to invest in making the mages stuff

[RickRollYou2]

Is it possible to make "mutilated corpse"s optional, short of deleting the itemcorpses myself? I just want my named corpses back
