I have made quite afew custom chest-pieces and shields but none of them show up...other custom armor (like arm and leg armor) shows up but not chest is there a reason why that I could fix?

[Enemy post]

Are they in a file under [OBJECT:ITEM]?

[Aranador]

Did you add them to the entity file?  Did you set their rarity to FORCED?  Or at least COMMON and genned a couple of times to see if they appeared?

Did you tag the items properly in the item file?


Can you post your raws for examination?

[JakeSlayer]

I gotta say after some testing I thing the problem is with these armor codes I cant fond anything in the Entities file.

[Aranador]

OK - two things I can think of:

One:  Dwarf Fortress may not have a definition of what armour level 4 and higher are - 3 is plate, 2 is chain, one is leather.  Higher is . . . . maybe a problem, maybe not

two:  You definitely should have these things in your entity file so your civ can use them.  Open the military screen, and see if these armours turn up as 'foreign' in the uniform options - Oh, and by ín your entity file' I don't mean throw the item definition in there, I mean define your entity as using these items
