Description
Fixes the bug that causes dwarves to be unable to equip two-handed weapons. Additionally, allows dwarves to craft mauls, pikes, halberds and great axes. Does not allow dwarves to craft long swords or two-handed swords, but they can still wield those if they find some from trade or looting.

If you want to be able to craft and wield all weapons in the game, check out my other mod (or any other version of the same mod someone else has created already):
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2903328888

All dwarves/humans/goblins etc. should be too small to wield large weapons like the maul with a single hand. If you're exceptionally lucky you might be able to find a dwarf who can do it.

I made this mod for personal use a year or two ago, for the original ASCII DF, so I decided to modify it for the new DF and share it for others. I didn't like the other mods that allowed dwarves to craft swords, which is why I ended up making my own version that had the perfect modifications for me.

I tried my best to design the mod in a way that makes it compatible with everything else. Instead of overwriting raws, it edits existing values. Place this mod at the end of your load order to make it overwrite others and it should work great.

Is this mod still a relevant fix ?

Putnam shed some light on this on reddid a couple of months ago. Here's a link to the comment, but basically as long as the dwarf can wield the weapon, they can wield it one or two handed. If they do not meet the [TWO_HANDED] size, they will wield one-handed at a penalty. Easiest fix is to just create a uniform that doesn't include shields - boom. Two handing weapons.

Same problem with my mod man. The game checks the minimum SIZE requirement regardless of the TWO_HAND size check.

So until they fix this, as long as they can wield a weapon, it will be both one and two handed.

Been thinking about this mod (and its brother) for a while. The game may just not be set up to handle dwarves with large weapons very well. I suppose there is a reason that the devs haven't really bothered doing this themselves for years, it may be introducing weird side effects that can't be solved easily

Think I'll leave them as they are and see how other people get along with it for now

Yes, I used the latest version. At first I thought it was a mod conflict. But just now I was testing a new world only with this mod and it happened again

I recently made a change that should prevent that from happening, is your world using the most recent version of this mod?

With this mod all dworfs can used 2H weapon with shield. All other mods with 2H weapons has a same effect

Decided to change the one-handed minimum size so only very large creatures can wield two-handed weapons with a single hand, let me know what you think

Yeah thanks, I just wanted a few more weapons available rather than the whole arsenal, figured it might be easier to tinker with my local copy of your mod.
Haethei  [author] 26 Dec, 2022 @ 7:24pm 
If you just want the 2H sword, you can add this line under the [SELECT_ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] entity in my mod:

[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H]

You can also add long swords since dwarves normally can't make those either:

[WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG]

My other mod (linked in the description of this one) gives access to all weapons, if you prefer that.
