Adding items to the arena?
« on: April 22, 2014, 08:03:29 pm »
So i really want to add toy axes to the arena so i can see how adamantine toy axes work against goblins just for fun. Also is it possible to edit the raws so i can spawn children?

I assume you're planning on sending armies of children wielding toy axes against a dragon?

Yes and giant badgers and also a army of children with toy axes vs a smaller army of adult dwarves with real adamantine axes. Should be hilarious.

I don't know how to add children to the arena but I think your best bet for adding candy toy axes would be the create item command in dfhack. Sadly it will spawn the item at their feet rather than arming them with it.

Use this lua script first, then try creating a person in the arena.

Code: (arenaitem.lua) [Select]
df.global.world.arena_spawn.equipment.item_types:insert('#',14) --TOY
df.global.world.arena_spawn.equipment.item_subtypes:insert('#',3) --ITEM_TOY_AXE
df.global.world.arena_spawn.equipment.item_materials.mat_type:insert('#',0) --INORGANIC
df.global.world.arena_spawn.equipment.item_materials.mat_index:insert('#',25) --ADAMANTINE
df.global.world.arena_spawn.equipment.item_counts:insert('#',1)

This can be modified to allow spawning of creatures with almost any item in the arena.

I don't think it is possible from raws. Perhaps you mod a "copy" race of dwarves who never grow up? Perhaps DFHack could be used to de-age a dwarf?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do believe toy axes are not actually axes. I think all toys are made the same, and they just have different names.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

...so maybe I missed something here, but how will you make the adult dwarves attack the kids?

My hubby got me into DF...then abandoned his for MineCraft.
Husband has been possessed!
I'm sorry your husband had a strange mood and ended up making a useless trinket out of useless materials without gaining any experience in the process.

You are correct - all toys are tiny blunt misc weapons.
