I've recently started playing with modding and felt the immense need to see my dwarves wielding khopeshi (Egyptian sickle swords). Realistically, they were quite useful and fell out of use, because introduction of iron basically phased them out. Is it possible to mod the weapon in the way, that it wouldn't accept iron, but accept bronze or copper?

Yes, but you'll need to make a custom reaction that produces the khopesh. You can then limit what  raw materials  (reagents) it accepts by using a reaction class. You 'll have to also add said reaction class to the materials you want to use. This will be enough if you just want to produce them yourself at your own fort.

Now if you want to also get them through caravans, it will be more complicated. You'll need to add a [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_X] entry to your civ's raws but doing so will enable your weaponsmith to make them from any available metal. The only way around this problem (that I know) is to limit what resources are available to the whole civ and that will mess with all the other weapons/items.

Thank you.
That solves problems, I haven't tried to think about. It even makes it easier.

Instead of making a new post, I'll continue with the matter.

If I skip adding a [WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_x] to the civ's raws, but I'll add let's say FORGE_STRANGEMETAL_KHOPESH to the permitted reaction, will I let the whole civ ability to forge strangemetal khopeshes/khopeshi?
