There's some awesome stuff here, the LabourDF tool in particular. However what would really be fantastic is a utility to close open floodgates or to link them to triggers without the intervention  of a Dwarf. The ability to un-permaflood an area could save many a fortress.

Can anyone else think of some good ideas?

This would only be useful until the next version. If you permaflood yourself then it would be a)awesome, and b)quite a feat.

[puke]

also only usefull until the next version, but "spawn anti-flood" would be pretty effing keen.

(might take seprate commands for lava and water)

Explain please

In the next version the whole fluid system will be changed.

Now you have a flood tile which spreads and creates water, followed by an anti-flood tile which destroys the water. The permaflood is a quirk / bug of that system

[Markavian]

Or... you could build your own -anti flood- generating device to remove the permaflood from your fortress without using any hacks!

Well IVAN has a program that will translate the game to 3-d that would be cool graphical front ends, as it is my game slows terribly if i use graphics so i play with the regular acsii stuff.

[Heliopios]

you can just cut off the flood from your fortress with granite.exe if it's that dire.

what ?

link please

couldn't find it on the wiki

EDIT : i just realised IVAN is another roguelike, and not the author of a DF plugin that rendered the fortress in 3D.

basically ignore this post

There is a utility that could come to a lot of use, but I've not the slightest idea where to find the information I need via memory hacking. I'm pretty new to it.

Anyway, how about a utility to heal wounds? Mangled wounds rarely heal, and while I don't feel a huge need to cheat, it'd be nice to have for various purposes.

DF doesn't use "HP" or anything so finding the values is pretty tough, I imagine... finding simple numbers is usually, well, simple.

Rick's memory hacking page claims to have to offset for the body structure pointer. I tried following it but just came to another one of the integer-pointer-pointer-pointer structures that I don't understand, so I dropped it. I'm not that interested in it, but I'd like to allow dwarves that pass out from pain the chance to heal without altering their toughness , and just understand how healing works better.
