To use it: Paste it in a .txt document, save as *put name here*.bat

Try it and report any bugs ^^
Also, one little problem: The metal names don't appear in caps, so you'll have to modify that manually

[jaxy15]

Now I don't have to copy and paste existing metals and take several hundred hours to change the values.
Thank you, sir.

[NightS]

Yay, i'm useful ^^
If you are going to use it in your mod, please give me credit, just that

[jaxy15]

Yeah, sure.

[krisslanza]

Now this seems pretty useful... now if I only knew enough about metals not in DF that I could make accurate versions of them, or knew enough of what all the tokens mean, to know what I'm doing if I mod in new metals...

[NightS]

You can also make weapons-grade gems or ceramics or whatever with this, you just need to modify some tags
You don't need to know much about the metals to use it, the script tells you what do the things that you write in it (some are interpretations, so it might not be 100% accurate)
If you still don't know what does tensile this or compressive that, you can look in the wiki

[IT 000]

Great job NightS! This will make my metal working so much easier. You can also use it for the material_template_default file, but with a little bit of tinkering.

The only thing I would add onto it is that you should be able to choose what [ITEMS_xxx] tags you want/don't want. But keep up the good work

[GreatWyrmGold]

Good job!

[Putnam]

I just made a version of this that can convert ANY real life metal into DF; is it okay if I post that? I've make sure to mention that your metal creator is the base.

Actually, I'm just going to post it here

First, excuse me for the late reply (i forgot i had the new replies button, i've been on the forum all this time without using it ) and second, great job My creator was just a small script to make them easy and fast, but not 100% accurate, making just balanced metals with the parameters you gave it, but yours looks quite a lot more polished and accurate. If anyone finds something that can be improved (or fixed!), post it and i will change the text from the first post for the fixed one.

Nono, mine is for a different purpose. Yours can be used to create fictional metals; mine is used to put real metals into DF.

Mine can be used for fictional metals, but yours is far easier.

Besides, mine isn't polished. It's thrown together with a few edits to yours and kind of jury-rigged just to get it working at all.

Rather than calling mine an improved version, call mine something along the lines of "a version which takes a metal's real-life properties and converts them into DF properties".

[Souleater17]

How do I use this?

[Putnam]

How do I use this?

It's a BAT file that you run on Windows and Windows only.

[Souleater17]

How exactly would I go about doing that? I'm rather new to all this, as you've probably gathered.

[Minnakht]

Well...
You know how there are executable files? You double-click them or open them in some other way and they do something.
.bat files are pretty much the same, if I remember correctly. It's been years since I've seen one. They're old.
