0001445: Weapon Racks do nothing. - Dwarf Fortress Bug Tracker

Notes
(0004678) Ghede (reporter) 2010-04-22 22:55	Addendum: Armor stand do not appear to work either. Dwarves immediately place their armor on the stands, then remove them and store them in a stockpile.

(0004679) Ghede (reporter) 2010-04-22 22:57	Additional step I performed and forgot to mention: Set the armory for Squad Equip, Individual Equip, and Training.

(0022902) Kogut (reporter) 2012-06-08 03:57 edited on: 2012-06-08 04:00	This still happens as of 34.11. According to wiki "When used in a barracks designated for individual and squad equipment, dwarves will prefer to store their weapons on the racks instead of stockpiles. Doing so in concert with armor stands will allow you to create centralized armories for your military." I tried to create barracks with weapon racks but nothing is stored, everything is left in forge. Save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6449 [^]

(0023685) ag (reporter) 2012-10-27 00:13	I have investigated this yesterday in depth, and there is a whole set of problems here. 1. The racks have to be linked to a specific squad to work (like armor stands, beds etc are to positions), but nothing does this - neither via ui, nor automatically. This is likely an oversight due to the pecularity that racks belong to whole squads, not positions. 2. If you do link them by changing structures in memory, they are still unassigned due to some code using uninitialized variables (likely due to copy&paste error). This patch fixes it for linux: http://pastebin.com/mt5EUgFZ [^] 3. Finally, even if stuff is put on racks or armor stands, dwarves will quickly come and haul it off to stockpiles. This dfhack tweak fixes it by overriding a handy virtual method: https://github.com/angavrilov/dfhack/commit/c5d8bd9db6f56fb133779425f801107a15314eb9 [^] 4. Regarding armor stands, their capacity is implemented in a very silly way: they seem to allow only one item of _each type_, resulting in: one shield, one helm/cap, one breastplate/mail shirt one greaves/leggings, ONE BOOT, ONE GAUNTLET This basically mean that you need 2 stands for every squad member due to boots alone; and it is also common to use cap+helm, and breastplate+mail shirt. You can see that I tried to hack this in the tweak above, but it didn't work because not all relevant code uses the vmethod.

(0023694) ag (reporter) 2012-10-28 23:42	Over the weekend I've made a few more binary patches: 1. Fixing mistaken removal of weapon racks from squad vectors even if assigned: v0.34.11 linux: http://pastebin.com/mt5EUgFZ [^] (same as above) v0.34.11 windows: http://pastebin.com/09nRCybe [^] 2. Fix the boot and mail shirt + breastplate problem of armor stands by allowing TWO items of the same type instead of one: v0.34.11 linux: http://pastebin.com/c45BXqEz [^] v0.34.11 windows: http://pastebin.com/Cxqd0GTh [^] Together with a dfhack plugin and a dfhack script, this appears to mostly fix the issues with squad equipment and barrack storage not being used: https://github.com/angavrilov/dfhack/blob/master/plugins/fix-armory.cpp [^] https://github.com/angavrilov/dfhack/blob/master/scripts/gui/assign-rack.lua [^] Hopefully this research and hack code is clear enough to apply equivalent fixes to the game itself. It is interesting how the Store Armor and Store Weapon jobs which apparently haven't been used since 2D still work fine, if only something creates them :) There are still various more or less related minor problems: - Armor stands, cabinets and chests belong to a specific squad member, but the member who owns the specific object used to create the barracks will use any relevant container in the room, possibly leaving the actual owner of that container without place to store his stuff. Due to this quirk, it is advisable to always create your armory from a weapon rack. The cause of this is that the code enumerating containers also iterates over room children, which it probably shouldn't. - Food is kicked out from backpacks when they are stored in a chest, and separately hauled to the squad member's room. - I'm not sure if ammo is supposed to go anywhere in the barracks; I expect it just ends up in the stockpile anyway. - If the item of clothing a flask is attached to is removed before it, the flask drops to the ground, and is even forbidden as a 'death item' if the order is set. The order of uniform item removal depends purely on the order of creation of the items, not on layering or any logical relations. - Likewise, unless this has been fixed since v0.31.25 (which I doubt), items are added to the uniform in the order of creation, which can cause some of them to be excluded due to comparing the wrong size sum with the wrong permit, e.g. Robe+Breastplate+Cloak+Mail Shirt enumerated in this order means no mail shirt equipped.

(0036388) carbohydrates (reporter) 2017-03-29 18:14	This is still an issue as of 43.05 I tried using the fix-armory plugin, it doesn't seem to do anything without a patched binary. But...the patch is 5 years out of date. It would be great to be able to use this feature of the game!
