I'm trying to make a new metal and a new reaction from which this metal would be produced, but I'm encountering several problems.

[MATGLOSS_METAL:SILVITHRIL]
[NAME:silvithril][ADJ:silvithril][COLOR:3:3:1]
[VALUE:600]
[SPEC_HEAT:7555]
[MELTING_POINT:25000]
[BOILING_POINT:25000]
[WEAPON][WEAPON_RANGED][AMMO][DIGGER][ARMOR][ANVIL][ANY_USE]
[WAFERS]
[DAMAGE_PERC:950]
[BLOCK_PERC:950]
[SOLID_DENSITY:200]
[DEEP]

That is the metal. This is the reaction to create it:
[REACTION:SILVITHRIL_WAFERS]
[NAME:make silvithril wafers]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:2:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE]
[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:SILVER]
[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:STEEL]
[PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:SILVITHRIL]
[FUEL]

The problems I encounter are: 1) The metal always shows up in CAPITAL LETTERS even though the name is lowercase. 2) The fact that it shows up. It uses adamantine, which no civs have access to, and it itself is [DEEP] meaning no civs should have access to it. 3) The anvils made of it end up with a negative value, meaning embarkers get paid 5000 dwarfbucks to take an avil with them made from the best material in the game.

If anyone can point out what part I messed up that'd be great. Thanks for reading and I hope I can thank you for responding also.

Negative value?  Ignoring the Deep tag?

Did you download a newer version of DF over an older version?

Or, something like forgetting to regenerate the world. Check your error log and see if it's complaining about things.

It is a new world and it's in 40d

It is a new world and it's in 40d

But did you extract it over the 39e files?  As in, in the 39e files' folder without deleting 39e?

[sonerohi]

What? I got here after 40d came out. It's been the version I've always played with.

Does Adamantine actually use the BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:ADAMANTINE?  Sure it's not wafers or something?

Nevermind.  Try making it use raw adamantine.

This would have nothing to do with the reaction entry. Ignore him.

I just went and copypasta'd your entries here into my raws, because I couldn't find anything wrong with them. I can confirm: there IS nothing wrong with them. They work perfectly, as intended. Whatever is causing your problem is outside of these entries.

Here's a few possibilities:

1. Have you deleted all the files in data/objects before you regenned the world? Sometimes these cause issues.

2. Have you placed these two entries into the right raws? matgloss_metal.txt and reaction_standard.txt respectively.

3. Are you getting any error messages in your error log? If you report a modding problem you should *always* include your log.

4. Have you included/deleted any other entries in the raws?

5. if none of these help, install a fresh DF in a *new* folder (not over the top) and put in ONLY these two entries before you make a world, without changing anything else. If that doesn't work, at least we can narrow the problem down a bit.

2. Have you placed these two entries into the right raws? matgloss_metal.txt and reaction_standard.txt respectively. I had them placed properly

3. Are you getting any error messages in your error log? If you report a modding problem you should *always* include your log. no errors, just the standard stuff about 'Urist Truebolted has gained experience'

4. Have you included/deleted any other entries in the raws? Nope, only lowered damage from bolts and arrows

5. if none of these help, install a fresh DF in a *new* folder (not over the top) and put in ONLY these two entries before you make a world, without changing anything else. If that doesn't work, at least we can narrow the problem down a bit.

Any luck so far?

I don't think that sort of message should come up in the error log. Sure you aren't reading the game log?

[sonerohi]

It appears I was looking at the gamelog  . Anyways, after deleting the objects folder everything works fine! Thank you all for helping me with this.

No problems, have fun with your mod =) keep on dfing!

[sonerohi]

Man that looks weird to see someone several months newer than you are to treat you like a complete newbie  .

[Blakmane]

haha na, this is just my new account. I've been lurking/ fortressing since 2D. Also, I probably screw around with the RAWs more than I actually play
