[Warlord of Woe]

As far as I have seen, found by search, or heard of, the only wooden weapons in the game are made by Elves. I was planning on modding in simple training weapons for Dwarves that can be made of wood when a cruel realization came to me; I don't know how. Is it possible to specify that certain weapons can be made out of wood, like an item token or something?

... One quick search later

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry! Your efforts are in vain! the only way to get dwarves to make wooden weapons is to add [WOOD_PREF] to their entity entry.

This allows you to make wooden weapons, but unfortunately, the magic of [WOOD_PREF] entails alot of things, and one of those things is that dwarves won't be able to make metal armor anymore!

So do so at your own discretion!

So sad. Hopefully future versions will have improved modding potential, and little things like this can be avoided.

Yes, i did read the thing above, but it just feels bastardized if its made at a bowyer's shop. Not to mention that you have to continue modding the game in order to avoid odd mishaps in dwarven AI.

There shouldn't be any mishaps in AI if you add blowgun line to melee weapons.

I didn't added WOOD_PREF to my dwarves when I added capacity to make dagger, and expanded to wood and bone ( and I used similar method to make it at the bowyers) And so far, I haven't seen any breakage.

ed: doh, meant to say bone instead of metal, and yes I consider making it at bowery to be a bit hackish, but it's the only way, I like to think of it as applying experience at making non-metal bows to making stabbities that won't break so easily

if you create a new type of ammo, and make the ranged from the specified to this new ammo, but dont add the ammo to any entity.
so you can make the weapon out of wood at the bowyer, but as no civ knows about the ammo they never use it ranged.

at least in theory

If you REALLY want to make wooden weapons at somewhere, anywhere, besides the bowyer's shop, then you could add a smelter reaction that has wood logs as a reagent and wooden weapons as a product... you could even make them ridiculously high-quality if you wanted to, I think. Maybe.

at least craving a sword at the bowyer is more realistic than to "smelt" wood

I don't think you can change the quality of anything produced at a smelter. Which would be fine for training weapons but problematic for actual military use. Or not depending on what sort of mood your in.

Edit: Just remembered something I wanted to ask. Is it possible to make wooden armor. I'm running an anti elf fort made of wood with wooden weapons and would like some wooden armor to really tick them off.
