Title: Possible to make a custom profession?
Post by: Warlord of Woe on June 13, 2008, 09:32:00 am
I've made a handful of weapons that I can get in fortress mode simply by buying them at the beginning, making them, et cetra, BUT:

I mostly play adventurer mode, and as of yet I can't find a way to obtain any of my custom weapons. My very wordy question: is it possible to mod in a custom profession that can allow you to start with a certain weapon in adventurer mode?

*preemptive thanks to all*

As far I know, no. I believe it is coded.

But, the skill That your weapons use (Hammer, etc.) Is the proffesion that they are associated with.

If you really want to use it so badly just go in to the civ's entry and remove all other weapons that use that skill.

Okay, then, thanks again to both of you.
EDIT: Hmm. Even upon erasing all other weapons that use the skills of my weapons, making sure that it is in fact the right race, and even trying to erase ALL the other weapons of that race (human in this case), the adventurer still starts with one of the regular weapons - one of the multiple weapons that I just removed.

This is a guess, as I havent done much modding of DF at all, but maybe you need to remake a map before the changes are saved properly.
