Way to display how strong/agile/tough a dwarf is?
« on: September 18, 2012, 09:54:11 pm »

I remember in the older versions (seen in Syrupleaf and the like) it showed how tough and the like a dwarf was (right above their skill proficiencies). Is there any way for me to look this stuff up, utility or otherwise?

In their thoughts and preferences status screen (v-z-enter) it will list their outstanding attributes.  It is somewhat vague, saying things like "He is mighty" or "He is slow to tire" rather than just telling what each value is.  Also, the values near the median don't have a message about them...which can let you know about where they are, otherwise it's just more vagueness. The wiki has info about how to interpret these messages.

Depending on what release of the rapist you have, double clicking their names may give you the actual values for their attributes, there may also be a tab you can create that has all that info on the grid.  I use splinterz version, and it has that functionality, and a bit more.

Easiest way is to use dwarf therapist and view attributes.

Not sure how you would do that, all it has is "show details" and that doesn't really show actual attributes.

get dfhack
type in lua
then highlight the unit you want and
unit = dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
for i,j in pairs(unit.body.physical_attrs) do print(i) end
!unit.body.physical_attrs.STRENGTH.value

melphel and SnK-Arcbound are telling you to use Splinterz version of Dwarf Therapist, and I concur.  In my opinion it should be the main branch of Therapist now, as it's had lots more work done on it recently, is stable and is bursting with features.  It shows all the dwarf's attributes in the "Show details..." right-click option, plus much much more.

As melphel said, the text descriptions in the Thoughts and Preferences screen are broad and vague.  There's a big (50%) difference between a dwarf with 1000 strength and one with 1499 strength, but you'll get no description at all for both of them in Thoughts and Preferences.
