I modded in a nailgun, pretty much just the crossbow with a fancier name and more devastating ammo. I've added the correct [WEAPON:nailgun blah blah] and the ammo tags into the civs, but nobody can use them. In adventurer I don't get a nailer option (modded it so crossbowers are called nailers) and dwarves don't pick them up from the wagon in fortress mode. Can anyone think of where I've gone wrong?

[LegoLord]

I might, but it'll be easier if you post the raw entry for the nail gun and one of the entity entries.

[Luraien]

Weapon:

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW]
[NAME:nailgun:nailguns]
[DAMAGE:70:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:20]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:NAILGUN:NAIL]
[TWO_HANDED:0]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:5]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]

Ammo:

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLT]
[NAME:nail:nails]
[CLASS:NAIL]
[DAMAGE:350:PIERCE]


As you can see it's just the crossbow with different names.

I've also changed this [CROSSBOWMAN_NAME:nailer:nailers] and kept in the following for the entity_default

   [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW]
      [AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLT]

[LegoLord]

Hm.  So did you edit crossbows, or add this entry into the game?  If it's the latter, then you've got a problem with multiple entries with the same title (entries start [OBJECTTYPE:TITLE]).  The title is what defines it as its own type of object, so having two entries with the same title causes problems.  If you want this to be a new object, you'll need [ITEM_WEAPON:(insert unique title in all caps here)]

If it is the prior, I don't have a clue, as it should have worked in that case. 

[Luraien]

It's just one of a kind with it's title. I'm going to try this on a clean copy of DF, completely unmodded, and see if that works. I've been screwing around with races and that might have had an effect on it.

[Luraien]

Yeah somewhere along the line I'd messed up the races, in the new copy the nailgun works fine. Guess I'll mod from here, thankyou anyway

[Ziusudra]

In the raws you posted, RANGED:NAILGUN:NAIL is a problem. Should be RANGED:CROSSBOW:NAIL as it determines the skill (and ammo) used when firing ammo and NAILGUN is not a skill.

[Enatai]

Yeah, it seems odd that the nailgun would work considering the fact that nobody can use it... Perhaps civilizations create it and you used it in adventure mode but that's... just odd, are you sure that your dwarves are actually skilled in its usage?

Error. It's [RANGED:CROSSBOW:NAIL] , there's no NAILGUN skill.
P.S. Aww, I missed that it was already answered...

350 pure DMG?! With a hardcoded CRITBOOST:2 on top of that ?! Man, it's one ugly rail gun, not nail gun .

P.P.S. Wait, you actually replaced the crossbows with it instead of making a new weapon and giving it to YOUR entity only? Man, your fortress mode must be deadly, because every race which uses crossbows would kill your dwarves in 1 shot . Not to mention adventure mode, where you'd be dead in any human city.
