Ok so how would I go about modding whips so they do not act as dwarven laser beams I'm tired of dwarves dying by a goblin with a piece of leather. The only modding I have done is make it so I can make hammers out of platinum.

Also will I have to gen a new world for the mod to change effect?

Increase their contact area and edge value, I believe.

or lower there velocity.

[Eagle_eye]

or give your army armor. btw, whips in DF are actually made of metal...

Aren't the vanilla whips blunt? Shouldn't that mean that they'd still work fairly well on armour, what with that velocity mod and all?

By the way, I'm using Arrkhal's weapon/armour/material balance mod and whips there have 2000 contact/5 penetration/5000 velmult. That should be a lot better than the default.

[Eagle_eye]

I thought they were edge....

[Xenxe]

fully armored iron dwarfs mail shirts and everything. whips they kill them...they arent that greatly experienced yet but still thanks for the suggestions I will mod my whips

Or you could just delete the whip line from Goblins, then they will never turn up with Whips.

or give your army armor. btw, whips in DF are actually made of metal...

Not all of them; Due to a modded Adventure mode reaction in reaction_other.txt, my dark elf is carrying a whip made from a humans guts;  I've also lashed a child to death with a whip made from vomit.

Evil one can we see that reaction please?

With this reaction, anything you pick up... No matter what it is can be turned into a whip (it must be in your hands or on the floor beneath you for this to work.
I don't believe that the [FORCE_EDGE] tag actually does anything to weapons and such, but I like to leave it in anyway.
