I've been thinking of modding dwarves to be able to use dagger, and possibly make one out of bones. How would I go around doing these? And as a bonus, could someone tell me how to make a bone block reaction? 

[Pure_W]

You can create a matgloss, say "Bone".  Then [PRODUCT:100:1:BLOCK:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:BONE]  This should make a Bone Block(tm)

[Assassinfox]

This will create blocks out of elf bones:

[PRODUCT:100:15:BLOCKS:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:ELF]

If you want something else, just substitute a different monster.  If you want just generic bone, you could try replacing ELF with NONE, but that might just result in your furnace operator dying horrifically.  Otherwise, you'll have to make up your own rock called "bone" and make it the same color as bone, and then do what Pure_W suggested.

[The Doctor]

Add [RANGED:NO_MATGLOSS:NO_MATGLOSS] to the dagger. Build a bowyers. There, you can make wood AND bone daggers.

[Erom]

As far as dwarves wielding daggers, that's easy to do- simply add the appropriate weapon to dwarves in entity_default (I believe you can find an example in the kobold entry). However, there is a problem - you can not tell your dwarves to become "daggermen" or whatever - it is not in the list of military jobs that fortress mode allows you to assign. Making "daggers" that actually use the sword skill is a good way around this.

Thanks for the infos, now to fiddle around 

[i2amroy]

Add [RANGED:SWORD:BLOWDART] instead of [RANGED:NO_MATGLOSS:NO_MATGLOSS] and you will get daggers that can be made at the bowyers and will be equipped when you tell your dwarves to become swordsman.

That fixed the error I got from NO_MATGLOSS  still messing around with bone blocks, going the stone route for safety

[i2amroy]

Yeah, the RANGED part is required and makes it create-able in the bowyer's shop, the SWORD part is the weapon skill that you want them to equip it with, however, for a melee weapon the [SKILL:??] tag is the tag that sets what skill they use for melee and allows you to create weapons that can be equipped with one type of skill set, (such as axe), yet fight with another, (such as tanning) The last part, BLOWDART, must be a real type of ammo for you not to get errors, but unless you want them to be able to shoot bolts from their daggers it should probably be set to a type that doesn't occur naturally, like blowdarts.

Also I noticed the bone stone reaction won't take skulls, should I assume that skull have different tag than bones, maybe SKULLS?

ed: corrected the reaction entry, pasted from first test

[TettyNullus]

I thought this'd work, but apparently, the :SKULL:NO_MATGLOSS don't works, nor does :BONES:NO_MATGLOSS and :SKULLS:NO_MATGLOSS according to error log, they're all unrecognized material tokens. Any ideas? I tried BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:SKULL:NO_MATGLOSS, but they takes regular bones instead

The matgloss token is BONE, not BONES.

Try this

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:BONE_STONES]
[NAME:make bone stone from bones]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:BONES:NO_SUBTYPE:BONE:NO_MATGLOSS]
[PRODUCT:100:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:BONE]

[TettyNullus]

the bone to bone stone reaction works fine, the skull don't, so far I've figured out that

[REAGENT:4:SKULL:NO_SUBTYPE:*

bit works fine, but :SKULL:*] don't, and :BONE:NO_MATGLOSS] don't works since it don't recognize NO_MATGLOSS, but does recognize the BONE, I tried ANY in place of NO_MATGLOSS, but no dice.

Is the only way to use skulls in reactions to use specific creatures instead of being able to generalize it?

[Assassinfox]

I'm not quite sure how to make skulls even work at all.  Every time I've tried smelting a skull, the smelter spits out bird skulls, regardless of what species or matglass is used. o_O
