How to disable the new battle-system?
« on: May 25, 2013, 07:25:13 am »

I mean the new hits when attacking.

Also I'm looking for playing a masterwork's world (with orcs, drows, new animals and creatures...) but keeping the old battle-system and behavior. Which options should I enable/disable?

Thank you!

the battle system hasn't changed, don't think modders can do that

if you mean the battlecries: there is the battlecries-button under 'misc features'
(or maybe you mean the attack descriptions which meph added to many weapons - but there's no button to toggle those)

I mean that, I didn't know how to explain it.

Does the slow learning option affect to how fast the adventurer improves his skills?

If the adventurer is a dwarf of the dwarf caste, yes. You can surpass that making the adventurer a legion dwarf.

Thank you!

And what's the difference between hack, chop and cleave while using an axe? I looked in the dictionary but for me they are the same... What's the most similar to a hit with the edge, hack?

well, they are the same raw-wise (checked for chopping axe)
they are only there to bring variety into the reports

I can easily add an option to toggle those, for people that play adv. mode and dislike the long list of attacks, but I will wait for the next DF version with that, because all the attacks are redone anyway by Toady.

At that point, they'll actually be balanced.

Actually, I haven't seen anything from Toady about weapons having specific speeds for attacks, just creature attacks...

Eh, I'll make some assumptions about what weapon raws will look like:

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SCIMITAR]
[NAME:scimitar:scimitars]
[SIZE:600]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[TWO_HANDED:37500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:32500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:9]YES
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000:3:3] The last two numbers are prepare time:recover time.
[ATTACK:BLUNT:20000:4000:slap:slaps:flat:1250:3:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:50:1000:strike:strikes:pommel:1000:3:3]
[ATTACK:EDGE:30000:4000:slash:slashes:forward edge:2500:3:3]
[ATTACK:EDGE:30000:4000:slash:slashes:reverse edge:2500:4:3] A bit harder
The movement and adjectival attacks are included in the next version of DF.
[ATTACK:EDGE:15000:18000:whirl around and slash:whirls around and slashes:curved blade:1500:3:12] Hilariously impractical attack, but if you're in a safe position, it's amazing.
[ATTACK:EDGE:20000:22000:whirl around with outstretched arms and slash:whirls around with outstretched arms and slashes:curved blade:3000:3:15]
