I did try letting my dwarfs make halberds once, they did not like them, I think they were just a little to big for them.
The did just fine with longswords though.

Of course this was the same fort where my axedwarfs were cursed to die as soon as the whole squad hit legendary.

Is there a tag like craftable in the weapon raws? if so, then just add that to halberds, and it should work. I will poke around and see if i can find anything.

What weapons are craftable by a civ is defined in their entity raws and can't be changed after worldgen.

Really our biggest issue is that the courtyard doesn't have a roof...because it's a courtyard.  If we can get a safe indoor location we should be fine.

Hey, at least my challenge was the start of a roof, I reckon it'd be mega cool if someone built a tonne of draw bridges up there and linked them all to one lever you know.

Until a flying building destroyer decides to poke a hole in your roof bridges.

I looked at the raws.
The NECROFIGHTER_STONE SYNDROME does add the NOSTUN tag to the dwarf.
[INORGANIC:NECROFIGHTER_STONE] produced in transmutation
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STONE_VAPOR_TEMPLATE]
[STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:Demonbound Vapor]
...
[CE_ADD_TAG:NOSTUN:NONAUSEA:NO_DIZZINESS:NO_FEVERS:PARALYZEIMMUNE:NOFEAR:TRANCES:LIKESFIGHTING:START:0]
on line 5292 in the save I looked at.

Ishar your changes look fine to me.

I have not looked at the raws but could it be using a template with [NO_STUN] in it?
Is there a typo in a physical attribute that causes him to not have enough energy to stay awake?

I seem to remember that you have to force the dwarf to wake up after you apply [NO_SLEEP] since that tag also seems to prevent them from waking up naturally.
I believe the safest method it to deconstruct the bed they are sleeping it but you can also wake them up by hurting them.
I think moving them with fluids works too.

I might look at the raws later if I have time though I don't do much creature modding.

Well then, I'll just play it with the tileset.  Bear with me, I'm going to have to figure everything out.

The tileset's Phoebus.

Also, I appologise if this has caused trouble.  I didn't realise a graphics tileset would cause this much trouble in a modded game.

I did a diff of the save raws and the vanilla raws.
It's not too modded, I can make some acsii raws for people to use.

You can't use the lazy newb pack to change the graphics pack of a modded game.
You have to do modded games by hand if you want to change the graphics pack.

I think they added some symbols to the language files for this game.
That is probably what caused that error.

I think that might be one of the most dwarfen contraptions I've ever seen the blueprints of.

Behold the Blood Pump the newest innovation in vampire powered architecture!

O = wall

Xx = Screw Pump (X = output)
The plans can be yours for the low low price of everything in your caravan!

Also sigged.

This sounds good,  but you would always have to go back and assign a job to flip the switch to create an open wound. It would be better if you hooked up a repeater to the traps to continually injure the Vampire without micromanagement, with an optional emergency shutoff switch for if the Vampire gets too injured.

If I did that in one of my forts I would forget to turn it off and the vampire would die.
Then I would have to find another one or maybe use a forgotten beast or a demon.
