I think I've done a couple of clever things with reactions.  Once the update comes out and I can use the caste system to make the zombies work like I want I'll probably take what I learned here and make a mod that uses reactions more robustly.

I'm particularly proud of the new gun making system.  I remember the first thread I made on this board was asking if it was possible to make weapons cost different amounts so you could tier them.  I got some very resolute "no's" but the workaround I've made here works pretty well if you don't mind the intermediate step.

Feel free to take any concepts you like for your own mods.

Thanks.  Since there are a lot of types of plastic, and since I didn't really know what values for it to use in the LEGO mod, I think I might borrow your raws for it, largely for a feeling of precedent.  The weapon assembly reactions also gave me a good idea for razor crystal swords in the same mod.

[Neoadept]

Erm, I just threw a few random numbers that seemed likely when compared to other metals in for plastic.  They have no basis in reality 

[LegoLord]

Neither did mine.  But your mod is older and my numbers were just obviously fake.

-Meep!  Disregard this post.  'Twas made from stupid.-

Hm, works fine for me (I used the downloaded version and pasted it over vanilla DF).  It might be something to do with a firewall you have up doing something weird to the zip file.

Try downloading with the firewall down (it should take about five seconds).  If that doesn't work I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Wait, are you putting them in raw/objects or data/objects?  It should go in the raws.

Air rifles seem unusually heavy, or at least the two copper ones I brought with me do. They look ok in the raws tho.

I finally managed to get some shotgun ammo (thanks to the new system) but the survivor just does the pickup equipment dance, any explanation on it?

[MathijsBuster]

Might have something to do with it being two handed?
Try setting the dwarf combat preferences to using two handed weapons?

Thta was the first thing I did when I saw the problem they still kept dancing... Worst part was that when forced to attack an incoming brute they tried playing fisty cups...

[Neoadept]

You mean when they tried to pick up the ammo, right?  I'm thinking it's something to do with the bullet metal type I made for them, I'll figure it out.

[Randy Gnoman]

Are these the correct values for a completed sniper rifle? 

'Cause that seems... kinda heavy. 

[jester]

well if you hit a zombie with the stock the bastard will stay down.

  Similar problems have been reported with the weight of some moulds.

[Neoadept]

It's probably to do with using a NO_MATGLOSS product.  I'll switch them over to a specified gun metal at some point.  Come to think of it, that might be the reason for the pick-up-equipment-shuffle too.

I'll take a look.

Thanks a bunch to Fleeb and Deon. Your advice is making things work a bit mre smoothly. A have a few bugs to work out, and some tiles still aren't registering, but that means that some ARE. And that's good. =^_^=

I haven't had many days to just sit down and work...It's been school, school, and school for me. Wednesdays and Fridays are really my only good work days, so I apologize for the wait. =/
