Bay 12 Games Forum

I wuv you. I'm using this post as the profile one then, making it right now.


I hope everything is correct.

I always had the theme to be something unfittingly (or not) dark for DF. The piano version confirms this. It's so beautiful. It fits with the tragicalness that a fortress can inspire.

Why dont you add a Bayonet then? And remember muskets are ment for ranged combat lol.

Muskets didn't have bayonets. I didn't put them in melee, I pitted htem in range combat, the musketeers fired twice or so before the halberdiers got to them. If they were real muskets, they would have died in the tens, from blood loss and stuff. Firearms like this will only be effective when more realistic blood loss and pain systems are added, right now, people can run around with tens of bullets in their bodies.

Which leads me to other question, can I alter the pain resistance and blood loss that creatures have?

I'm trying to tinker with maxvel and shootforce to see what happens.

I was fiddling with the raws, wondering how to make DF muskets, so I opened the weapon raws

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW]
[NAME:crossbow:crossbows]
[SIZE:400]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:CROSSBOW:BOLT]
[SHOOT_FORCE:1000]    <What does this means
[SHOOT_MAXVEL:1000]  <What does this means
[TWO_HANDED:0]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:15000]  <What does this means (does it relate to the size a creature has to be to use it one handed?)
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]        <What does this means
[ATTACK:BLUNT:10000:4000:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:1250]

And this

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BOLTS]
[NAME:bolt:bolts]
[CLASS:BOLT]
[SIZE:150]   < How does size affects the deadliness of the ammo?
[ATTACK:EDGE:2:2000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000] <What does this means?

Can I alter the reload speed of weapons?
How would this work:

[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MUSKET]
[NAME:musket:muskets]
[SIZE:600]
[SKILL:HAMMER]
[RANGED:CROSSBOW:BULLET]
[SHOOT_FORCE:1500]    (this would shoot stronger than a crossbow right? Early muskets didn't shoot that stronger than they did)
[SHOOT_MAXVEL:3000]  (this changes the speed right? A musket bullet would travel near the speed of sound.)
[TWO_HANDED:77500]   (used pike stats)
[MINIMUM_SIZE:52500]  (used long sword stats
[MATERIAL_SIZE:3]       
[ATTACK:BLUNT:10000:4000:bash:bashes:NO_SUB:1250]

[ITEM_AMMO:ITEM_AMMO_BULLET]
[NAME:bullet:bulletss]
[CLASS:BULLET]
[SIZE:10]
[ATTACK:EDGE:1:4000:stab:stabs:NO_SUB:1000]

Also, how do I make a custom reaction to allow it to be built?

I think it would be hard to make the musket more efficient, if there was internal bleeding it would be a monster, but it's just a regular weapon now. Maybe it's better against armoured folks.

DF's awesomeness is in this. Your sword doesn't teleports itself to you, you have to actually go and take it from the store, protip: You can wear anything in a store, as long as you don't exit the store with the good, it isn't stealing, so you should enter the store, locate the goods and wear them, only after that you should buy it.
Also, be sure to ask for permission before sleeping in houses or stores, otherwise YOU WILL end up in the woods. Sometimes it happens, regardless or permission, yeah, I think it's a bug. Also, if fortresses are abandoned this will always happened, because there is no one to give you permission to stay, protip: Always sleep inside the keep.

Also, there is no way of surviving in Adventure mode, I only had one adventurer to live the year, but the best way of surviving is to have a lot of companions, they will die for you in most cases.

There's a mighty mountain in the world I last genned. Its name? The Granite Axe. Badass I say.

Yeah, if there was a way to chose whre evil is, I'd put it in Australia for sure. But look man, the damn south pole is a desert.
