Exotic items help needed
« on: June 26, 2010, 08:57:03 am »
Hey guys, so I intend to make a mod where all exotic items like face veils, blowguns, halberds etc. are both craftable and wearable by dwarves in fortress mode. Can anyone give me a few tips on how to get that done?

You need to add the appropriate tags to the dwarf entity file, like [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_HALBERD].

You can just copy those from other entities like elves and underground peoples.

And what about size? I remember in the old version dwarves couldn't wear large weapons like humans could. Has this changed?

Some weapons dwarves would need to wield with two hands, some others they cannon handle at all. You can change their sizes in item_weapon.

Thanks a lot dudes I've got it working. Now I have a couple unrelated questions:
1. Can dwarves dual-wield?
2. Do hammers still launch people in the air and then explode into little chunks?
