Question regarding DFhack &/or other means for-
« on: December 25, 2013, 12:42:55 pm »

Getting one (or more) of my dwarfs infected with cursetypes (vamprie / were-whatevertheheck) and I have been having no luck as I've  had only one were-somethingorother occurance which led to it just... disappearing before ever coming close to any of my civilians.  And since I started playing DF a couple weeks ago, I have yet to see a single vampire. 

So I was going over the LNP and all it came with and looked at DF hack and what it could do.  Played around a bit to make excessive amounts of cage traps and adamantine everything and came down to... hey, why don't I have get a vampire to cage up so my fort can't be lost regardless what I do, then toss in some were-somethingorothers and have them tear up the place for the sake of fun. 

Anyhow, I noticed the syndrome / True-transformation bits on this list of commands over at github, and was wondering if I could just change a couple dwarfs into these things instead of just having my fortress continue on for weeks/months of just waiting for the luck for them to come along. 

Anyhow, I apologize for being such a noob in general.  been enjoying utterlyaddictedsleepwhatsleep this game, and I'm hoping to see how much more fun I can have.  before it causes my computer to die when it grinds down below 10fps that is

Vampire ocurence was toned down at soe point, but you should see oneeventually. As foryourdfhackquestion,it's sufficiently advanced that I would advice you to ask around in the modding forum (a forum dedicated to editing the game in any way) in general and the dfhack thread in specific
