Pseudo-Artifact Weapon bug

One of my swordsdwarves keeps RE-naming his (forgotten-beast-slaying) weapon. He's done it about seven times now. Bug, I'm guessing? --Zombiejustice 21:53, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Someone has already reported this on the tracker. I'm changing the init settings for announcements and forging through. --Zombiejustice 01:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Actual Artifact Bug?

I went into my abandoned fortress for an artifact platinum axe. Wouldn't you? It was still in the forge. When I take it out, there is one in my hand... and one in the workshop. I cannot get another one (still printing the text for picking it up, just no duplicate axe). When I came back to the site later, I was able to take out the axe again.

The above behavior I noticed in the previous version as well with an artifact high boot. The below, I don't remember _noticing_ before, though since the other example was armor, hard to be sure.

The REAL problem, though, is that whenever, however I try to take it offsite, it disappears. Just... gone. I was able to kick significant tail while on the site (I had broken into a cavern), but when I fast travel away... gone. When I come back, pick the axe back up, and WALK away... gone. One step, I'm armed with pure choppy death; the next, oh, my bronze shield is my primary weapon, and soon enough my "misc. object user" skill is on the rise. Not cool. Any thoughts?

Of course, I am also putting this on the bugtracker. --Zombiejustice 03:00, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Naming Artifact Bug?

My dwarf named his artifact after himself. Never happend to me before, but it looks funny.

Happens occasionally. Over the several fortresses I've run, I've had several narcissistic dwarves name their artifacts after themselves. --Quietust 22:01, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Urist McMandelbrot, Leatherworker made an artifact:

Atrifact contains image of itself. I wonder, is it a bug or just random magic? --Peregarrett 12:22, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Its dwarven technic. The legendary legendary artifact "Planepacked" had 74 pictures of itself.--Niggy 13:34, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Pseudo-Artifact Creation

I just got my first named weapon: A no-quality steel battleaxe. This battleaxe has not been used to kill anything, though the naming dwarf has been using it in a danger room for long enough to become legendary+4. It seems that naming weapons is based on use or time, not kills. 71.111.201.233 07:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

It's possible that time is one of the criteria, but getting a significant kill will make it happen a lot sooner - in my current fort, both a well-crafted bronze flail and a no-quality bismuth bronze short sword were both named immediately after they were each used to kill a forgotten beast. --Quietust 21:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Can adventurers name weapons? --Overspeculated 15:43, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

df crashed

Hey,

i wanted to post here that df (v0.31.14 with ironhand_df) crashed as i tried to watch the list with my artifacts. But i couldnt duplicate the bug. It happened just after the creation of an artifact.

Dunno, perhaps someone should check if the bug appears more often i dont have the time at work;)

Why bother posting this on a wiki talk page? Toady has a bug tracker for a reason, you know... --Quietust 13:18, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

artifact use in buildings

added the bit about using artifacts in buildings. From what I've seen, incorporating an artifact into a building multiplies its effect on fortress value by at least 3 - one dwarf turned out a massively valuable artifact millstone; building it into a millstone workshop resulted in both "architecture" and "displayed" values getting huge boosts.

Now if only I could figure out how to put that legendary pine cup on display.... 202.156.10.234 22:40, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
