^you need a C++ editor and the source of the game, which you sure as hell aren't getting from Toady.

How do ranged weapons assign skill?

For example, in

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BOW]
[NAME:bow:bows]
[SIZE:300]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[RANGED:BOW:ARROW]
[SHOOT_FORCE:1400]
[SHOOT_MAXVEL:350]
[TWO_HANDED:0]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:45000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:3000:4000:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:1250]

, what could I change to make them use the bowman skill in melee too?

Also, is there any way to change rate of fire? AFAIK SHOOT_MAXVEL is just the projectile's speed.

[Prologue]

@Tirion - What do you mean? Like using a bow as a blunt weapon also?

My question is, does [SPEED:x] affect attack rate (melee and breath attacks) or does it only affect it's movement?

[i2amroy]

In order to change the melee skill of ranged weapons simply change [SKILL:SWORD] to [SKILL:XXX] (in this case BOW). As for the ranged skill used, it is in the [RANGED:BOW:ARROW] token.

As for the [SPEED:X] tag, currently speed affects everything about a creature. How fast it moves, how fast it is able to attack, everything.

[Tirion]

Do Beekeeper and Alchemist skills level up normally? Because Dwarf Therapist doesn't see them, even as v-g on the unit does...


Also:
What happens when there are multiple [SKILL:skill name] tags in a reaction or weapon description? Will only dwarfs with ALL the jobs (associated with the listed skills) activated do the reaction? Will it train all those skills simultanously, as fast as it would train one? How about weapons with multiple skills, can it be done? What happens when it's done, will the highest level skill of the dwarf be used to calculate the effect, or what?

[i2amroy]

The beekeeper skill is bugged in DT since the last official version of DT was before beekeeping was fully implemented, so it won't show up properly. As for the alchemist skill, nothing currently uses the skill in normal DF, since the skill is simply the old version of the soap maker skill at the moment.

As for multiple [SKILL:XX] tokens, only the last one is looked at for purposes of weapons/reactions IIRC. The only exception to this is for setting the build labor for a custom building, in which case multiple BUILD_LABOR tokens mean that a dwarf with any of those tokens can build it.

[Tirion]

Is there any way to turn off clothing degradation? Preferably while still allowing civilian dwarves to wear the items?

Also, do duplicate entries in entity files lead to "duplicate raw" FUN?

[UnkemptArmada]

I'm having issues with a reaction that burns wood blocks into charcoal. I've tried a number of different ways to specify, but the dwarves seem to think they can use any sort of block, rather than just wood. Anyone know how to phrase this properly in the raws?

Reaction below:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[REACTION:BURN_CHARCOAL_BLOCKS]
   [NAME:burn charcoal from blocks]
   [BUILDING:BURNER:CUSTOM_B]
   [REAGENT:A:1:BLOCKS:NONE:PLANT_MAT:NONE:WOOD]
   [PRODUCT:100:1:BAR:NONE:COAL:CHARCOAL][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
   [PRODUCT:25:1:BAR:NONE:COAL:CHARCOAL][PRODUCT_DIMENSION:150]
   [SKILL:WOOD_BURNING]

You could put [REACTION_CLASS:WOOD] under the WOOD_TEMPLATE in material_template_default and make the reagent in the reaction:

Code: [Select]

[REAGENT:A:1:BLOCKS:NONE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:WOOD]instead.

[UnkemptArmada]

Truth. I was trying to find a way that requires little or no modification to the default raws, since I do a lot of shuffling around. Was just hoping there was a way to specify "any wooden [item]".

Tahnks, I'll probably end up going with this anyway

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

I have done much questing in the answer to this, but alas: my search was fruitless.
If there are multiple song_games, then will they play randomly, or do I have to mash all the songs i want into one file?

Since song_game is a filename, you're going to have to be one of those filesystem wizards to allow both in the same folder.

I want my humans to have their coat of arms (taken from descriptor_shape, I guess) visible in their description. Is it possible without adding a new body part?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Probably not without altering the code somehow.

the only way i can think you can do that is removing standard clothing from the entity and then giving access to new custom clothes without the SOFT token
