80 units? 150 units?
Erm
POWDER_MISC items are like BAR and LIQUID_MISC where they have dimensions of 150
150 is acually = to [1] stack/bar/item

Soooo.... How did you manage to make a stack of "80" POWDER_MISC gunpowder when the GP making reactions only produce "150" aka [1] stack of it in a bag?

The real issue is:

   [REAGENT:B:150:POWDER_MISC:NONE:INORGANIC:GUNPOWDER]
   [REAGENT:C:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE][BAG][CONTAINS:powder][PRESERVE_REAGENT]

The RED text shows the error
[CONTAINS:xxxx] looks for a REAGENT_ID

so really the container reagent should look like:
   [REAGENT:C:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE][BAG][CONTAINS:B][PRESERVE_REAGENT]

Problem solved folks.
It takes 60 gunstones, [1] stack of bagged gunpowder, and 1/10th of a piece of cloth (which uses the whole cloth anyways)
To make 60 bullets (I hope, since quietust has informed me about how reactions do ratio things.)

[SandyCaesar]

Sorry, I didn't mean a stack of 80 powder. I meant I had 80 units of gunpowder total; now I have a total of 150 bags of gunpowder. (Thank Armok explosions aren't modeled yet, the gunpowder stash is right next to the forges and the furnaces. If they caught a stray spark the results would be rather special.)

Anyway, I just made the edits on the raw files; the cartridge reactions now read:

It still isn't letting me make any of the cartridges. Any help?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

remove [ANY_PLANT_MATERIAL] from the CLOTH reagent and give it a go

[SandyCaesar]

Still nope. Strangely, the workbench still asks for plant cloth. Changes to the raws should be reflected in-game immediately, right?

Completely unrelated, has anyone successfully gotten dwarves to practice their marksmanship with spring guns? I just want to know if it's possible at the moment; my spring gun-equipped marksmen are lounging around, and an attempt to get them to kill a goblin thief resulted in a broken arm for one of them when they decided to charge in with bayonets (instead of shooting him). I suspect this is more my problem in configuring them.

[SandyCaesar]

So, er, I hate to be a bother, but it seems that in addition to my cartridge woes, I can't get spring guns to work. From what I understand, they're supposed to be loaded with gunstones (like BBs) and fired. It seems that Arena mode respects that, but I can't get my dwarves in Fortress Mode to understand.

Perhaps it's because they only know how to use quivers and crossbows...?

[meeneque]

so really the container reagent should look like:
   [REAGENT:C:1:BOX:NONE:NONE:NONE][BAG][CONTAINS:B][PRESERVE_REAGENT]

Problem solved folks.

Sorry but it is not true. When you change reaction like that, you have B-containing bag in ingredients listed in the workshop.

 The only error I found is in:
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:bag] which in this case should be (?) used with reagrent ID. ie
[PRODUCT_TO_CONTAINER:C]
otherwise I'm getting gunpowder out of the bag, lying in the workshop.
On the other end I've been playing with this mod for two weeks and have yet to make one cartridge. So I'll probably give it up, cause I'm no reaction master and obviously something is not right. I Have a lot of gunstones, cloth and gunpowder and still get:
Urist McUrist cancels prepare small cartridges: Needs 1 gunpowder

[smakemupagus]

Well, Hugo was right, that the [CONTAINS:xxxx] token has to match a valid reagent ID.  And the ID "powder" wasn't defined as the name of any of the reagents in the first reaction you posted. 

But I don't see anything obviously wrong with the one that you SandyCaesar edited.  I wonder if you're now running into the "bag in barrel" issue, where reagents are hidden from custom reactions if they're nested too deep in a stack of containers.

[Jake]

Sorry it's been a while, folks. Not only did it take me ages to find the Flash drive holding the backup copy of BPFA, real-life personal issues ambushed me for a while. I won't go into detail here, but while they're a long way from being fixed and probably won't ever be entirely, they're currently under control.

Anyway, the new gun components are complete:

My next job is going to be to create reactions for making them. Large firelocks or spring-locks will each take half a bar of steel to make, small ones a third of one. Boxes of firelocks will take ten of each kind plus a wooden chest; straw will be added if and when it's introduced into vanilla DF. Strikers are still up in the air somewhat, but I intend for one boulder of flint -and possibly other materials- to make several hundred of them by way of compensating for it being relatively rare.

[bennerman]

Ok, how, exactly, do I get this to work in adventure mode? sorry 

[Droid15243Z]

Can I add this to a mod I'm making? I'll give you credit and make a link to this page.

Thankyou!

[LordBaal]

Is this mod working with the latest version of the game?

[Triskelli]

I know this may be outside the scope of this mod, but has anyone tried adding a "cannon" creature to this mod, much the same as wagons in the vanilla game?  It'd be gamey as all hell, yes, but it *could* work.  I might even take a stab at it after finals.  But as for how it would work on an in-game level...

Well, there are one of two possibilities:  One is using an interaction to throw cannonballs, but the downside is how erractic and how quickly these things are thrown when uncontrolled.

A different, rather ingenious method would be giving cannons the ability to "throw" cannonballs as a resource, but I'm still puzzling out how that might work.  Any ideas?

[Jake]

Bloody hell, it's been a while.

Sorry for the long absence, everyone. My life kind of self-destructed and it took me a long time to put it all back together. I'm getting there now, though, and now I'm back into DF -with a shiny new gaming PC into the bargain!- development work will be resuming just as soon as I finish going over my notes.

In fact, here's a Dropbox link to the in-progress version. I got as far as creating individual "firelock" items as well as "crate of firelocks" items for import from the caravans, I just stalled on the reactions to go from one to the other.
