Couple of questions
« on: May 26, 2014, 07:36:58 am »

Hi Guys,

Whilst playing through Masterwork DF as Dwarves I've encountered a few things and can't seem to find conclusive answers whilst googling - so I thought I'd try to access the large information of people here!

  • How can you tell a pet is engraved? I've just engraved some of my pets but I don't know which ones are (if it is a mass engrave like it was for armoring)
  • Does the quality of the material for magic weapons matter? (I am assuming yes but wanted to clarify)
  • How long do potions from plants work? (i.e. - to have an immortal fortress with Youth Potions how many
  • The most recent download of masterwork doesn't seem to have auto-melt for storage locations, when I copied the most recent plug-in version I get some errors and all of the UI plugins that I copied stopped working (assuming compatibility issue). Anyone know how to get auto-melt in the latest Masterwork DF?

Thanks for any help or guidance!

1. It should have a "(engraved)" behind its name. But not sure, I would have to check that.
2. Not more or less than for any other item.
3. Usually 5000 ticks, ~1 ingame week, but the immortality one for example lasts forever.
4. You used the dfhack r3 plugins, but MDF uses dfhack r4. It might not include auto-melt yet.

Thanks for the answers Meph!

  • I haven't seen this occur anywhere but can try it out a bit more!
  • Makes sense thanks
  • So if I had for instance 200 youth potions & 200 cap, realistically I should only expect death from natural dwarf curiosity (read stupidity)
  • O I thought it was using r3 - I think there are some beta r4 hanging around, will try it out, thanks!

By the way, I was going to suggest to include a dfhack.init file with digging invaders already hashed out as if I don't do this I experience a lot of crashes - googling tells me this is a common problem.

Only r3 has been released with crash-fix for auto-melt, r4 is buggy at the moment and will cause crashes, I think that's the reason it's missing.

The reason its missing is probably that I havent been around much the last 3 months.

OK - I've put the auto-melt in and will watch to see if it crashes, will remove if it does. Thanks for the heads up.

Could you please report back if it does not crash, and post the download link to Auto-Melt r4 please? I will add it into the mod proper then. :)

Download Link

Will report back if I don't experience any crashes today (not sure how much testing would be satisfactory).

Also I've only put on the auto-melt (wanted to use to level up my armorer :D)

The file you posted is way older then my last mod update, so the r4 automelt should be included already. (?)

It does say in the link that the versions that come with r4 are out of date - might be because of that?

Well it did work for 4 hours or so but I did experience a crash now - so seems a crash might still occur (although infrequently)
