What tag exactly does 'Knife User' come from? I wanted to change the name of the profession for a custom race I was working on but 'KNIFE_USER' 'KNIFE USER' and 'KNIFEUSER' don't work.

[Adamantine Fist]

Try DAGGERMAN. See if that works.

Didn't work. :/

[Max White]

KNIFE?
Sometimes toady works in mysterious ways.

I think the mysterious way is there's no way to change it at all, until a later version. KNIFE didn't work. Ahwell, it's not that important really. I was making a race that only had metal daggers, but used wood and stone for spears axes and arrows... But with the bugs to ranged combat maybe I'd do better to wait.

It's probably because weapon skills are hard-coded.

Try THIEF. (only thing is vanilla that use knives)

[Deon]

That's really weird. There's no knife user in the string dump. It looks like it's a hardcoded profession, although I do not see why.

[Shaostoul]

Try... Dagger...

There are a few things missing from the string dump, it can be really annoying...

[Shaostoul]

Seriously, just DAGGER...

[Max White]

DAGGER is for the skill, sure it will work for an occupation?

[Shaostoul]

What is it you're wanting him to do? Wield the dagger? So dagger would be a start. Like Sword User and Shield User?

[Max White]

No, he wants the occupation.
For example, he doesn't want stone detailing, he wants engraver. He wants to rename that occupation (Such as hammerdwarf instead of hammerman) for knife users. You can rename your miners pole dancers if you wanted to.

Wouldn't they be pick or pickaxe dancers then?  Anyways, excuse my while I find the minds-eyebleach as I'm sure Armok's dwarfs are far less photogenic than Azerothian ones...
