Looking for information on these.

MINIMUM_SIZE: does this correlate with creature size? and how does the game figure this? My off-the-cuff assumption is that creatures make weapons either their size, or 1-2 sizes lower, and thus a dwarf-made sword can't be used by anything but a dwarf.. but I dunno about that, corroboration would be great.

MATERIAL_SIZE: No idea what this is. The amount of material used up in making it?

MATERIAL_SIZE is the amount of material needed to make the item, yes. A metal bar counts for 3, everything else (including adamantine wafers) counts for 1.

MINIMUM_SIZE is supposed to be the minimum creature size required to equip the weapon. In practice, I don't think it works. I've had pixies swing battleaxes at me.

Actually, when I was looking into this issue a while back, I found a req that stated that there's supposed to be penalties associated with using an oversized weapon, but that those penalties are also probably not working. It might be that there's supposed to be a point where you cannot use a ridiculously large weapon at all, but there's definitely supposed to be a middle area where you can use a big weapon at a disadvantage.
