modtools/projectile-mod
===========================
Creates smoke and modifies various properties of any projectile, based on ammunition, weapon or material.
   -clear

      list current ammo/weapons/material entries and their values
   -ammoType, -weaponType or -materialType
      register projectile, weapon or material with subtype (eg ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS) or full material token (INORGANIC:IRON or CREATURE_MAT:DWARF:LIVER). Applies to ANY projectile subtype or material, and anything used as a ranged weapon (including non-weapon item set as bow_id).
      if ammo, weapons or materials have the same value defined, they will either be added, multiplied or overwritten with the following precedence: ammo > weapon > material
      valid arguments:
         -deviation - max number of tiles at 50 tiles distance. Additive, decreases with weapon/ammo item quality if qualityScale is > 0.
         -range - minimum range, maximum range. projectile will not hit targets until minimum range is reached, and drop from the air triggering any impact effects at max range. defined as [ min max ] or just max (no brackets) to keep default minrange behaviour.
         -falloff - projectile velocity is multiplied by this every 4 tiles of distance flown. 1 is constant speed (default behavior), below 1 has speed drop over distance, above 1 accelerates the projectile.
         gravitates towards 1 depending on ammo item quality and qualityscale. Falloff stops happening at qualityScale 2 and masterwork quality. Strange things start happening beyond that number.
         -hitrateAdd - 0(default) to 100, adds or substracts hitrate. increases with firer skill. Stacks additively, increases with weapon/ammo item quality if qualityScale is > 0.
         -velocity - multiplies the projectile velocity, can exceed weapons max velocity. Stacks multiplicatively, increases with weapon/ammo item quality if qualityScale is > 0.
         -qualityScale - multiplier, scales accuracy, hitrate and velocity with item quality. 0 for no scaling, 1 for default scaling. Accepts fractions and values higher than 1. Additive, does nothing on materials.
         -breakChance - 0 to 1(default), chance for the projectile to break. Multiplicative.
         -piercing - true/false, sets true if no argument. whether or not a projectile will pass through targets to hit another. causes projectiles to hit one target multiple times, may be a bug. Overrides by precedence.
         -deleteMe - true/false, sets true if no argument. if set with no argument, deletes projectile on impact. if set with a number, deletes it at that range without triggering impact effects. Overrides by precedence.
         -setType - TYPE:SUBTYPE, transform projectile(s) into this item. Changing item type not currently supported. Overrides by precedence.
         -setMat - change the projectile's material. Overrides by precedence.
         -shotCount - spawn extra projectiles if > 1, no theoretical limit the number. Multiplicative, rounds downwards.
         -shotRof - if set, each extra shot is fired with this many ticks delay. if not set, all shots fire at once. Overrides by precedence.
         -rofMult - multiplies baseRof and altRof, multiply rate of fire. Multiplicative.
   -weaponType only values
      -baseRof - delay in ticks between shots and firer skill scaling defaults are 80 and 1, skill scaling can be a fraction and more than 1.
      -altRof - delay in ticks, interval and firer skill scaling. each shot in the number for interval will take this long instead. defaults for interval skill scaling are 2 and 1 respectively.
      -windupRof - multiplier, shot-until-woundup, ticks per winddown. multiplies fire delay. delay gravitates towards 1 each shot until the second value is reached, and steps back by 1 shot each delay.
      
   -trailFlow or -impactFlow
      add flow effects to projectiles during flight or at impact. arguments is [ ammo/weapon/material subtype/materialtoken ] or just subtype, which will default to ammo trigger.
      multiple of each can be added with seperate commands, define flows AFTER the above properties, as they will override the entry for the same ammo/weapon/material.
      valid arguments:
      -minmaxint - minimum range, maximum range and interval. flow triggers within range, at the specified interval of tiles flown.
      minimum and interval default to 1, so a range of 1-20 can be set as [ 1 20 1 ], [ 1 20 ], or just 20.
      -flowType TODO
      -flowMat - set flow material if the flow type permits it.
      -volume - pretty self-explanatory.
      -conical - multiply volume by distance flown and this multiplier.
      -expand - if set, the flow will expand drift out to more than 1 tile.
      -direction - works on fire and dragonfire (type 6 and 7) only, sets direction for the flow to the direction of the projectile.
      
   examples:
      make arrows less accurate, have a 50% break chance and lose 6% speed each 4 tiles. also fires 20% faster.
      -ammoType ITEM_AMMO_ARROWS -deviation 2 -breakChance 0.5 -falloff 0.94 -rofMult 1.2
      
      a slower, more accurate crossbow. firer skill only increase fire rate by half as much as normal. make steel hit harder and more durable.
      -weaponType ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW_ARBALEST \-deviation -1 -hitrateAdd 6 -velocity 1.2 -baseRof [ 145 0.5 ] -breakChance 1.33
      -materialType INORGANIC:STEEL -breakChance 0.64 -velocity 1.2 -deviation \-1
      
      make shot of 8 pellets that are deleted after impact and produce smoke for 3 tiles that expands and increases in volume over distance
      -ammoType ITEM_AMMO_GUN_20MM_SHOT -deviation 5 -hitrateAdd 5 -velocity 0.6 -deleteMe -subtype AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_GUN_SHOT -shotCount 8
      -trailFlow ITEM_AMMO_GUN_20MM_SHOT -minmaxint 3 -flowType 5 -volume 6 -expand -conical 1
      
      a rocket that starts slow but flies faster and faster, hits a single target multiple times (faking explosive effect), turns into a different mat, produces smoke each 2 tiles and a dragonfire explosion. quality only matters half as much in deviation/velocity/hirate as normal. it explodes after traveling 20 tiles.
      -ammoType ITEM_AMMO_ROCKET -velocity 0.5 -falloff 1.2 -piercing 1 -deleteMe -range 20 -setMat INORGANIC:EXPLOSIVE_MAT -qualityScale 0.5
      -trailFlow [ ammo ITEM_AMMO_ROCKET ] -minmaxint [ 0 20 2 ] -flowType 5 -volume 20 -expand
      -impactFlow [ ammo ITEM_AMMO_ROCKET ] -flowType 6 -volume 30 -expand
      
      make a minigun, because why not. each shot produces 3 projectiles at a 5 tick delay, has a 5 tick delay itself and every shot in 20 (so 60 projectiles) has a 500 tick delay. Only the last delay is decreased with firer skill. delays are multiplied by 6, multiplier decreases to 1 at the 8th shot, and winds back down by 1 each 40 ticks. add a material for incendiery ammo for good measure.
      -weaponType ITEM_WEAPON_MINIGUN -deviation 5 -hitrateAdd 10 -qualityScale 1.4 -baseRof [ 5 0 ] -altRof [ 500 20 ] -windupRof [ 6 8 40 ]

modtools/arty-mod
===========================
Turns buildings into artillery pieces.
   -clear
      unregister all entries
   -list
      list current ammo/weapons/material entries and their values
   -artyType
      argument is barrel item subtype, such as ITEM_TOOL_BARREL_BOMBARD. will pass properties to any building containing this item, and set the item to be loaded with ammunition. type of ammunition used and the buildings themselves are defined in raws; reactions prefixed with ARTILLERY_LOAD will load their reagents into an empty barrel, ARTILLERY_FIRE will fire the gun and ARTILLERY_ROTATE_R and ARTILLERY_ROTATE_L will rotate the building, if the names of its 4 directions end in _N, _E, _S and _W. 1x1 guns will fire in all directions and do not need rotate reactions. multiple barrels can be housed in a single building, setting the load and fire jobs to repeat will load/fire until all barrels are loaded/unloaded.
      -shootForce - amount of force the projectile is give, works exactly the same as ranged weapon raw shoot force token (shoot force * 50000 / size * density)
      -range - minrange, maxrange. affects targeting and projectile behavior, targetting is done within range, actual projectile maxrange is maxrange + 3 to prevent guns wasting ammunition on targets moving around the edge of targeting range.
      -loadTime - delay, skill scaling. time in ticks it takes to load a barrel and how strongly this scales with skill. defined as [ number scale ] or just number, in which case scaling defaults to 1.
      -rotateTime - delay, skill scaling. same as loadTime, only for building rotation.
      -baseRof - delay, skill scaling. delay between shots for multibarrel buildings, if fire is set to repeat.
      -altRof - delay, interval, skill scaling. every (interval) many shots this delay is used instead.
      -windupRof - delay multiplier, shots before wound up, ticks per winddown. multiplies delay until a certain number of shots is fired, and winds back down once the gun stops firing.

   examples:
      -artyType ITEM_TOOL_BARREL_BOMBARD -loadTime 1000 -range 100 -shootForce 72000 -rotateTime 600
      -artyType ITEM_TOOL_BARREL_HANDGONNE -loadTime 180 -baseRof 30 -range 40 -shootForce 4000 -rotateTime 200

Patch for non-metallurgy steelmaking

---

- Entity reaction tokens for steelmaking in the non-metallurgy version went missing. Added them back in, the reactions should show up in existing games. This patch is not required for the metallurgy version.

Revision 6c changes: various bugfixes and 44.02 compatibility

---

- Updates the mod to 44.02.
 - Added descriptions to metallurgy reactions.
 - Added an alternative reaction for glass and charcoal powder that uses a jub instead of a bag.
 - Fixes: Meteoric iron production, mysterious iron boulders, various language errors and various small adjustments to equipment (such as reduced greatsword sizes).

Revision 6b changes: fixes and DF Revised patch

---

- Added compatibility patch for Dwarf Fortress Revised, which is pretty much the successor to Modest Mod.
   Still requires both mods. Install Revised first, then my base mods, then the patch.
 - Fixes: Placed aluminum back into the non-metallurgy version, made neck nervous tissue less vulnerable, actually put in the correct material template file (doh).
 - Oops, one extra fix added later: Removed micro-reduce steel reaction.

Revision 6a changes: 43.05 fixes, weapon and material rebalance

---

- 43.05 Proper Compatibility!
   Modified joints to be larger, and bodypart materials to have higher resistence to bending, pulling and twisting. Joints will still break, but only with pretty substantial amounts of force.
   Various modification, since 43.04+ seems to have slightly upset the previous balancing scheme.
 - Weapon Rebalancing and Diversification:
   Blunt and spiked weapons substantially more useful, and now the primary anti-armor tool.
   Increased the range of attack speed from 4 to 11 prepare+recover time.
   Speed and damage spread more evenly. Weapons are still sorted according to type, then handedness (1h or 2h), then weight.
   Added duplicate entries for 'priority' attack. The AI will do more spiking with a military pick, and more bashing with a warhammer. Stabby swords stab more, slashy ones mostly slash.
   Moved weapons to legacy file: Light battleaxe, bearded axe, broad falchion and voulge. All due to pre-dating our 15th century setting by too much.
   Re-added a military-use rondel and bollock dagger. Their non-existence was causing some issues with thieves being unarmed, and tool-type weapons are not equipable in fortress mode.
 - Armor Modifications:
   Moved padded gloves and boots to legacy, due to most likely not existing. Increased protectiveness of shoes and gloves, though not to the level of the padded versions.
    Added 'munitions grade' armor to goblins. This makes invasions a bit more of a challenge, as they will wear armor even as civilian clothing.
 - Material Changes:
   ALL non-deep metals as well as leather now have the same shear yield, but different impact yield/fracture and different shear fracture. This makes iron armor not simulate gingerbread when hit with something better than iron, it will be inferior but still useful.
   Leather armor now gives protection against lighter edged blows. It will still get chewed up a LOT faster than metal, but should be more useful and a good addition to cloth armor if your low on metal.
   Reduced max edge on iron, a bit less on steel, and left at default (10000) for crucible steel.
   A certain overly colourful metal has been nerfed. It will go through steel with enough force, but a slight flick with a saber won't decapitate an armored man anymore. Avoid using it for ammo.
 -  Other Stuff:
   Case-hardening steel now yours a billet that will need to be hammered. This simulated folding the non-uniform case hardening product into something more homogeneous and actually useable.
   Actual documentation for weapons and armor, including which armor can go over which other armors! It doesn't look pretty, but I hope it clears things up a bit.
   Moved leaf arrows and trefoil arrows to legacy. They were pretty much redundant in terms of functionality.
   Increased the surface broadhead bolts, hopefully resulting in less wasted ammunition of irritating pond crawlers and such.
   I may be forgetting some stuff... Surprise features!

Revision 5b changes: Oops, stray SHAPED tokens

---

- Removed misplaced SHAPED token in two of the helmets. No idea how they got there in the first place, but gone they are.

Revision 5a changes: Lots of changes to armor, addition of metallurgy and collarbones!

---

- Added the historic metallurgy module!
   Adds buildings: Bloomeries, Blast furnaces, Puddle furnaces, a Crucible furnace and Finery forges.
   Adds the various iron smelting and refinement processes that were in use around the middle of the 15th century.
   Adds materials: Pattern-welded steel, Crucible steel and Meteoric iron.
   Either charcoal, or flux + mineral fuel is required to smelt iron. Have a use for all those trees and make some elves cry!
   Dwarves posses some exotic metallurgical knowledge: Crucible steel and puddle furnaces. These are not native to medieval Europe, but neither are dwarves.
   Just ferro-metallurgy for now. Information about 15th century methods for smelting other metals is somewhat spotty, and I need to read up on it first.
   Removed weapon and armor usage from bronze and silver. Weapons made from these metal were not a thing in late medieval Europe.
      If you want them back in, copy the tags over from another weapon and armor metal.

 - Armor additions and removals:
   Added Ocular kettle helm: A kettle helm that reaches over the eyes and has eye slits to look through. Covers slightly more than the visored sallet, but also slightly thinner.
   Added mail and plate Bevors: A piece of armor covering the bottom of the face and throat), these can be worn under kettle helms, sallets and great helms.
   Added mail sleeves: The same as mail mittens except they cover the whole limb. Can be used in combination with coat of plates.
   Added boiled leather helmet and limb armor: Their exact history is spotty due to their nasty habit of rotting away, but it shows up on various effigies and images.
   Removed ALL spangenhelm-derived helmets, due to them being woefully displaced in time for this mod.

 - Armor layering and coverage changes.
   Worked out some glitches with armor not always wanting to be worn over clothing which should be wearable under it (socks, shirts, etc).
   Partial plate limb armor can be worn over mail limb armor (as they were historically).
   Visored sallet no longer has 100% coverage, but can be worn with bevor.
   Mailed bascinet and mail coif can now only be worn under great helms.
   Increased body armor thickness quite a bit.
   Cuirasses, coats of plates and brigandines now protect only the upper and lower body and the neck.

 - Collarbones!
   An internal limb connecting the upper body with the arms of every humanoid body.
   Can be broken with a severe hit on the upper body, breakage will incapacitate the attached arm.
   Enables me to let body armor protect the neck without also extending to protect the upper arms.
   Added a layer of muscle around ribs and collarbones to keep them from shattering from minor damage.

 - Restructured the mod archive to be less messy.
 - Trapcomp file in included by default now. Nerfed serrated disks to be just a bit less game-breaky.
 - Dropped support for items only version.

Revision 4c changes: more minor fixes and changes

---

- Fixed stupid duplicate gloves for real this time
 - Less awkward armor names / more descriptive armor names!
   Renamed 'gauntlet and bracers' to 'arm harness'
   Renamed 'boot and greave' to 'leg harness'
   Renamed 'plate armor' to 'plate cuirass'
   Renamed 'hauberk' to 'mail coat'
   Renamed 'haubergeon' to 'mail shirt'
 - Fixed bismuth bronze. It has the same properties as regular bronze, as it has in the stock game.
 - Rearranged some armor and clothing layering. Still works the same but easier to keep track of for me.

Revision 4b changes: minor fixes

---

- Fixed some stock files getting mixed up into the download and making a duplicate item

Revision 4 changes: 42.01 compatibility!

---

- List of updated files:
   b_detail_plan_default.txt
   body_default.txt
   c_variation_default.txt
   creature_standard.txt
   material_template_default.txt
 - If you run 42.01 with the old version, update now as parchment, drunkenness and other possibly important things might not work!

Revision 3c changes: just a quick fix!

---

- Removed flat strikes until the AI can handle them responsibly
 - Cleaned up pommel/butt/butt-spike attacks. They are now consistent and not completely useless in some cases.

Revision 3b changes: bugs & balance!

---

- Adjusted weight on some weapons (mostly axes).
 - Adjusted material cost of axes, maces and the bardiche.
 - Increased the surface of most blunt weapons to increase pulping damage.
 - Increased protectiveness of all limb armor (to simulate limbs yielding more to impact).
 - Reduced edge value of all weapon metals to 500, which increases momentum cost for cutting through armor and tissue.
   This means padded and leather armor now offer at least some protection against lighter blows.
 - Added CAN_BE_MUTUAL to the adrenaline interaction, which seems to make it a bit more reliable in dwarf mode at least.
 - Added thin layer of muscle and fat to the head, having none caused skin-less creatures to have no tissue on their head.
 - Fixed invincible head bug. I'm not sure what caused it in the first place, but its gone.
 - Made finger and toes internal. For some reason they do not come up in combat logs at all now.
   I think is slightly better then losing a hand because a child scratched your thumb off.
 - Added spinted limb armor. This was actually a Rev3 change but I forgot to mention it.

Revision 3 changes:

---

- Added numerous modifications to combat! See feature list.
 - Rebalanced weapons to work with the above.
 - Added early variant of the arming sword, for a more complete set of earlier medieval equipment.
 - Added a stake to the wooden weapons.
 - Reduced weight of some swords and axes.
 - Made all helmets a bit thicker.

Revision 2 changes:

---

- Added modified cloth and leather materials for the padded/leather armors to work properly.
 - Numerous balance adjustments.
 - Adjusted entity_default to divide the items a bit more sensibly.
 - Added a number of armor pieces:
   Armets, late-medieval Italian full helmet.
   Barbutes, late-medieval Italian helmet modelled after the Corinthian helmet.
   Partial plate armor, earlier plate armor with 83% coverage.
   
 - Renamed and repurposed a number of weapons to less obtuse names:
   glaive faussard -> short glaive
   pronged warhammer -> short polehammer (this also became two-handed)
   poleaxe -> light poleaxe
   polehammer -> crow's beak
   pronged polehammer -> polehammer
   bill-guisarme -> bill-hook
   faussard -> military scythe
   
 - Removed the following items:
   ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_CLEAVER_FAUSSARD (highly debatable existence)
   ITEM_WEAPON_POLEARM_FAUCHARD_FORK (superfluous)
   ITEM_HELM_MASKED_LAMELLAR (superfluous)
