Help with adding custom ranged weapons
« on: November 07, 2009, 11:50:45 pm »

So, I'm trying to implement muskets into DF, just for fun, but I'm confused if this will work:

This is my ammo info:
[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BULLETS]
[NAME:bullet:bullets]
[CLASS:BULLET]
[DAMAGE:300:PIERCE]

This is my weapon:
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MUSKET]
[NAME:musket:muskets]
[DAMAGE:100:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:40]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:MUSKET:BULLET]
[TWO_HANDED:0]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:5]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]

What I want is for 'bullets' to be made from a custom mineral I made called Sulfur and Iron Bars combined, I want it to produce around 5 bullets.

Here is the Sulfur info in matgloss_stone_mineral:
[MATGLOSS_STONE:SULFUR]
[NAME:sulfur][COLOR:255:255:0][TILE:'*']
[ENVIRONMENT:SEDIMENTARY:CLUSTER:100]
[ITEM_SYMBOL:'®']
[SOLID_DENSITY:500]
[VALUE:100]

Here is where I'm confused in reaction_standard; I don't know how this will turn out, care to help?:
[REACTION:SULFUR_TO_BULLETS]
[NAME:make bullets]
[SMELTER]
[REAGENT:1:STONE:NO_SUBTYPE:STONE:SULFUR]
[REAGENT:1:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:IRON]
[PRODUCT:100:1:AMMO:NO_SUBTYPE:AMMO:BULLETS]

Just for your info, I added this:
   [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MUSKET]
      [AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BULLETS]
To entity_default for dwarves.
I also added:
   [MUSKETMAN_NAME:musketdwarf:musketdwarves]
To creature_standard, for dwarves.

And that's everything I've done. I know I've got to be missing something here, or something's wrong.

So, will all this work together? If it goes the way I want it to, I want Sulfur to appear in stone, and when mined out, at a Smelter, can be made into 5 bullets (1 sulfur + 1 iron bar = 5 bullets, I want), which are then used in a Musket carried by a Musketdwarf.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Code: [Select]
[RANGED:MUSKET:BULLET]In the weapon entry needs to be replaced with
Code: [Select]
[RANGED:CROSSBOW:BULLET]as crossbow weapons are the only ones supported by the gui in this version (fixed for bows next version; I don't know if you'll be able to mod in new ranged skills even then).

Code: [Select]
[PRODUCT:100:1:AMMO:NO_SUBTYPE:AMMO:BULLETS]needs to be replaced with
Code: [Select]
[PRODUCT:100:5:AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BULLETS:STONE:SULFUR](or METAL:IRON, depends on what you want. The sulfur ones will be roughly equivalent to steel in effectiveness. This will produce a stack of 5)

The MUSKETMAN thing won't work, the best you can do is replace CROSSBOWMAN with MUSKETDWARF

Also, sulfur is already in the game under the name of brimstone.

Thanks!
And, I'm just messing around with editing, I just want to get this working so I can get an idea on how modding works.

Oh, and I tested it before I read your reply, and it works, sort of. It required the Hammerman skill to work, but even a fresh recruit slaughtered Antmen with no problem.
