Can I include these weapons in my mod?

[Splint]

If Dwarves can use glaives I will be a happy person. I have no idea why but I have a demented fondness for the weapon. Regardless, the armor alone basically being in line with how I do uniforms makes this worth getting.

They can, technically. Glaives are just below the limit for an average-sized dwarf to wield them. They can only wield glaives multigrasp for this reason, and weaker, more sickly dwarf specimens may not be able to wield glaives at all. (You can of course change this yourself by editing MINIMUM_SIZE for the glaive appropriately.)

You will also need to add the glaive to the dwarf civilisation in entity_default yourself, as it is not there by default.

Two handed is fine by me, weapons like this I never give shields to the wielders of anyway.

You may.

[Illogical_Blox]

Very nice! I'll be sticking with luculle's weapons for now, but I like the concept.

One suggestion - I don't know if you changed the rate at which NPC's use armor in the mod but when I played with it the impression I got was that NPC's didn't use any more armor then they did in vanilla which is not very much at all.

the majority of goblins and bandits I have fought with this mod have had no armor at all and when a bandit chief or master did have any armor it was frequently just a helmet and breastplate.

Increasing the rate of armor usage of all NPC's or just important ones like bandit/goblin leaders would make the effects of the mod more noticeable because right now it just seems that the only effects of the mod in adv. mode are making the PC more invulerable when not fighting maces/hammers

[Splint]

Well, they've never really worn much to start with, though leaders would sometimes come packing full suits of armor. Sometimes. That's not really something mods can control.

[Stalhansch]

I was going to ask if increasing armour presence was possible. I didn't think it was.

what does Atlatl shoot ? Arrows ? bolts ? or threre is no ammo ?

It launches Darts. Long Darts and normal Darts.

ok thanks for reply.


Also i am kind of new to DF modding. So i have a question. If i overwrite for example Obsidian tileset with you would it work ? I mean those tilesets have files the same as yours and overwriting them would probably cause some conflicts...

If by that you mean overwriting Obsidian's tileset set with my own tileset, then my own tileset would show instead of Obsidian's. Graphic sets are a bit different, as graphic sets include text files and go in the graphics folder. You would need to remove any conflicting text files from the graphics folder, otherwise things may display weirdly.

By conflicting text files I am referring to text files that include the same entities. For example, I have a text file in my set that is for dwarves, you would need to locate and remove the Obsidian text file for dwarves for mine to display correctly. Keep in mind this has to be done inside save files too if you want them to work.

Looks like this needs a tiny bit of tweaking with .14. entity and tools are the only offenders by the looks of it, so the end user can just tweak the current version

edit: actually, item_tool seems like a bit of a mess, difference wise. Maybe it's best to wait for someone who knows what they're doing to fix it.

Thank you for telling me. I will look into it soon.

Edit: Should be sufficiently updated. Please let me know if there are any more complications.

[cyberTripping]

Thank you. I consider this to be a staple mod, glad to see it working for .14.

[Valikdu]

.14 added the stepladder tool to the tools file and the entities. I don't think there's anything else.
