Object testing arena problems
« on: June 23, 2019, 08:06:40 am »
My list is blank,  I begin with a new adventure character with world.  From here I do 'mode set' then I select '3' which is arena controling.  I press alt+y and then k then c, after this I am given a screen saying 'side' 'abort' and 'f' for filter name.  The name filter doesn't do anything I have tried 'DRAGON' or 'DWARF' 'DW' 'D' nothing happens any one able to help I've looked through the wiki. Their isn't any informtion on the initial start up to even use it.

Hm. I don't know about how to fix that happening, but have you tried spawnunit instead as a workaround?

I installed a fresh dwarf fortress and Lazy newb pack and this problem still consists.

spawnunit documentation

Mind, I've only used it in fort mode (for stuff like spawning cat male traffic accidents).

Does it work if you open the object testing arena from the main menu instead of with dfhack?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Would this be opening the testing arena up before going into anything?

Edit - I tried this and it says "It is not safe to set game modes in menus."

Edit edit - Okay it's working but can you use an existing world from here without the arena set up?

I don't believe so.
