TEXT mode and dfhack [SOLVED]
« on: August 27, 2013, 05:24:17 am »

Hello!

I've recently started playing DF and also enjoyed using dfhack.

My question is, when running DF in TEXT mode; is it possible to access the dfhack console? Or maybe assign hot keys?
I'm running Arch Gnu/Linux and I've tried using 3 different terminal emulators when assinging keys.

keybinding add F4 quicksave

which works in 2D mode but sadly not TEXT mode.

So I'm wondering if there is a way to make this binding (and other bindings) compatible with TEXT mode?

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: Found a solution; I can just use the "dfhack-run" binary and it works perfectly! Sorry for the silly post :)

Do note that the dfhack-run program does not work with interactive commands (such as "tiletypes" and "liquids") - if you want to use those, you will have to stop using [PRINT_MODE:TEXT] and switch to one of the graphical modes.

Also, this really belongs in the Modding forum, not in Gameplay questions.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Sorry about that, wasn't really sure where to post this since there wasn't really a "Support" section.
It also seems that you can't record macros in text mode which is really a pain :( Oh well
