Thanks for the help.

Glad I could help!

So now my first problem is that in the object testing arena I see my created creature can definitely breathe fire on its own. The only problem though is that when I take control of the character I can't figure out how to actually make it breathe fire.

Unfortunately, you can't use fire- and material breath abilities in adventure mode or when possessing arena mode creatures.

Of note, I believe the maximum for attributes is 5000. Higher attributes might make calculations problematic.

That's very disappointing. I was relying on that to let me kill bronze colossi. Thanks for the help with the stats however.

Edit: I suppose it could just be luck but...

Okay, I have a kind of dumb question, and I hate to derail the thread for this, but it seems like the appropriate place to ask, and I haven't found an answer elsewhere. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but if the answer's out there, I can count on the internets to say, "Look over there, n00b." Amongst other things.

Anyway, what I want to do is let my dorfs be able to make longswords. There's no reason that they should have to try to import them from the Humans, as they are supposed to be insanely good smiths. Also, I like swords, and desire more of them.

I didn't find the reactions for making items in the raws anywhere, and there was no info on the wiki about this. So, here I am. Rock you like a hurricane. Whaddya say, folks? Is it possible?

[Knight Otu]

To allow dwarves to make longswords, you have to add

   [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG]

to the dwarf entry in the entity file. Do note that it is possible that some dwarves may turn out too small to wield longswords, or might have to wield them two-handed. I believe that this requires to generate a new world, though.

[Acanthus117]

I know this is dumb and I'm sure I overlooked it somewhere, but can you make a new ammo type, like a larger bolt for an arbalest-like weapon?

[Lofn]

Yes, quite easily.  Just look in item_ammo.

[MaximumZero]

Schweet, thanks guys! Longswords, hoooooo!

(Also, I expected them to be two handed, so that's ok.)

I'm looking to create a new body part but can't quite get it right. One easy way around having to create this new body part would be if I could somehow disable a creature from using wrestling. It constantly tries to just grab at bronze colossi which does nothing.

Basically I'd just like to replace hands and fingers with giant block like appendages. Kind of like in this picture:

If anyone knows how to disable wrestling or how to create that body part so my creature will stop grabbing things it can't strangle I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

[TheSummoner]

I'm trying to make a sort of undead army as a siege race.  At the very least, it would have castes for Skeletons and Zombies, and possibly some other kinds once I get those first two working.

Here is the creature so far...

(This part is also required... its a substitute brain/heart organ that goes in the chest... in theory, even beheading these things won't immediatly stop them.  I'll probably make the core larger because the skeletons seem almost invulnerable from my "undermine the dark tower while they're in it" tests)

Essentially, what I've done is taken the human and separated it into castes with zombie being relatively unchanged and skeleton removing several organs.  The Zombies appear to be working fine, but whenever I try to examine the skeletons (v -> z), the game crashes.  Does anyone know why this may be and how to fix it?  I've already removed the descriptors for skeleton parts, so I'm really not sure...

[coinich]

If I create a custom workshop to train certain skills, and then add it to my save raws, upon reloading will the workshop be available to me?

[Daywalkah]

No. It should work if you edited an existing custom workshop though.

[coinich]

Bah, thanks.

[TheSummoner]

Just a note, I've fixed my above problem.  My undead army has Skeletons, Zombies and Ghouls.

They'll eat your babies.

Quick question in concerns to modding ranged weapons, and weapons in general, can anyone tell me the meanings of this little string?

[ATTACK:EDGE:2:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]

That particular example is from bolts. Any additional informations on modifying weapons will be appreciated.
