It's my first time playing Dwarf Fortress in who knows how long, so bear with me here. I lost my old modded files when I switched PCs and am relearning how to do all of the things. I'm trying to add a few custom weapons to my Metalsmith's Forge, but they aren't appearing in the workshop, and I'm stumped. I'm positive there's a crucial step that I'm missing, so goes:

Spoiler: "item_weapon.txt" (click to show/hide)

I started with a bec de corbin, just trying to figure out modding before I tweak the numerical values.

[ITEM_WEAPON:BEC_DE_CORBIN]
[NAME:bec de corbin:bec de corbins]
[SIZE:900]
[SKILL:HALBERD]
[TWO_HANDED:67500]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:62500]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]
[ATTACK:EDGE:20000:8000:slash:slashes:beak:1750]
[ATTACK:EDGE:50:2200:stab:stabs:beak:1000]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:10:200:bash:bashes:head:2000]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:10:200:strike:strikes:NO_SUB:2000]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:strike:strikes:haft:1250]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:100000:8000:strike:strikes:shaft:1250]

I plopped this down right after all of the other [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] weapons.

   [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BEC_DE_CORBIN]

But, as you can see, the bec de corbin is nowhere to be found in the list. I started a fresh embark to test. Wat do?

[scamtank]

Fresh embark my nose. Did you generate a new world, like you should've?

Civilization reaction/equipment permissions are like the book 1, page 1 of stuff that's only applied during worldgen.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Also, I don't think halberd is a skill.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Major issue is the naming

Weapon name:
BEC_DE_CORBIN

Entity adding weapon:
WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BEC_DE_CORBIN

you do not have a ITEM_WEAPON_BEC_DE_CORBIN weapon you have a BEC_DE_CORBIN weapon so

[WEAPON:BEC_DE_CORBIN]

will fix it. Also Urist McDwarf is corrrect there is no HALBERD skill just use the AXE skill or if you really must PIKE.
Now there can be alot of debate on weither a halbert like weapon is an AXE or PIKE it's probably safer to say AXE since that is the most used action (hacking) but in doing so DF allows you to cut trees with a Halbert because it's an AXE weapon (it's probably possible to do it, but I'd rather use a real axe then a halbert for tree felling)

EDIT:
As per scamtank a world regen is required for new entity changes or at least most changes.

I see. I did not generate a new world, just embarked from a previously generated world. Thanks for the tip.

Also, I don't think halberd is a skill.

I completely derped there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Cool, thanks. I feel like a noob again, haha. Gonna try again with these changes and see if it works. 

EDIT: It worked! Thanks for the help, everybody.
