So I have come across a strange problem... I have been modding in new gear for the npcs... new weapons seem to work fine..same for ammo...

but for some odd reason Shields and Armors (armor legs n helm) don't seem to work properly, I have placed them in the correct way and ect. but for shields, (I made spiked and guilded shields) but only guilded shows up, but it removes the buckler option... (only normal shield and guilded show up in object test arena)

and as for Body, Legs, and Helm, they don't show up at all, but all show up in OTA..

These are what I have currently:

Shields:

ITEM_SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_SPIKED_SHIELD]
[NAME:spiked shield:spiked shields]
[ARMORLEVEL:2]
[BLOCKCHANCE:25]
[UPSTEP:2]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:6]

ITEM_SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_GUILDED_SHIELD]
[NAME:guilded shield:guilded shields]
[ARMORLEVEL:2]
[BLOCKCHANCE:22]
[UPSTEP:2]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:5]



Armor: (only providing 1 since they are basically the same for each race, its just a specified "race decoration" type armor)

[ITEM_ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_BERZERKER_BREASTPLATE]
[NAME:berzerker breastplate:berzerker breastplates]
[ARMORLEVEL:3]
[UBSTEP:1]
[LBSTEP:1]
[SHAPED]
[LAYER:ARMOR]
[COVERAGE:100]
[LAYER_SIZE:20]
[LAYER_PERMIT:50]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:13]
[HARD]
[METAL]

Your shields are each missing the first bracket. If they're like that in your raw files, that could cause them to overwrite the properties (including name) of the shield before them, presumably the buckler. As for your armour, if it's in a separate file it could be missing the correct file headers (the bit at the top that that has item_whatever and [OBJECT:ITEM]).

[Fatace]

So after slamming my head against the desk, I didn't realize the missing brackets, that fixed that problem (thank you!)

but as for armor, everything looks fine from what I can tell..

Using Notepad++

http://puu.sh/zSjb9/5f9fb2538a.png

and for the entity_default file, I double checked to make sure they were all spelled correctly and they were, altho:
[ARMOR:ITEM_ARMOR_BERZERKER_BREASTPLATE:RARE]

And I thought the last tag was meant for the item to show up in trades, unless im wrong?

[Nahere]

The RARE part just determines how often a civilisation of that type will be able to make that item (like how dwarves can sometimes make togas). So far as I know, nothing in the entity file will influence the arena.
As for item_armor_more, I don't see anything wrong with it, unless it's in a separate folder or something. Is there anything in your error log?

[Fatace]

Same folder, nothing in error log either :/

[Nahere]

I just reread your first post. If they show up in the arena but not in the world you're probably just getting unlucky. If you want civs to have access to those armours more often then change RARE to COMMON of FORCED.

Is it possible to mod in a workshop or building that can produce power? (Think a steam engine or a Wheel of Pain)

This seemed to work, but the breastplate doesn't seem to show up, but legs and helm do.. going to try putting forced there instead

Edit: it got the breastplate to show up, but the leggings disappeared.. bahumbug might as well asset all to forced

Not through the raws, but it's possible using DFHack. There are plugins called steam-engine and power-meter already included with DFHack that involve power.

Bleugh. I got stuck on "spew magma-hot gas" point and can't get what is wrong.

[STATE_COLOR:ALL_SOLID:ORANGE]"Fire", copied from iron + fixed temp added. According to wiki, gas produced by interaction should be already at boiling temperature, but apparently it isn't. Armor and weapons from this also don't burn people for some reason (along with fire imp leather clothing. Was socks of death deleted at some point?). Temperature is enabled and otherwise works properly.

I prefer vapors, I imagine Gas "should" work, but nothing beats getting coated in a hot liquid (or cold) to ruin ones day. Also I don't like seeing aliases being used. Please use INORGANIC:FIRE not METAL:FIRE

Thanks, didn't knew that INORGANIC works. Vapor still refuses to melt anything, though.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

it is fixed to be at boiling, so it could just be turning into a gas before it touches them

[MCreeper]

Whoops. It should but it also isn't. Proper liquid. Fixed temp tag doesn't seems to do anything at all.

Is there a crash report somewhere created upon DF crashing? Been trying to figure out where I messed up at with setting entity positions in civs, going through what shouldn't be there and ect. but I cant seem to find the reason yet..
