How do I install custom DFhack pluggins (.lua)?
« on: June 16, 2015, 08:52:51 pm »
Im trying to get DFhack to run this script https://gist.github.com/IndigoFenix/cf358b8c994caa0f93d5#file-timestream-lua

No idea what to do to install it. Its probably simple but im probably an idiot.

How? Thanks.

You're right, it really is. Take this timestream.lua and stuff it in Dwarf Fortress/hack/scripts. Then punch in "timestream" to run it.

For reference: plugins are .cpp or .so type things and usually compiled with dfhack, they go in /hack/plugins.
Scripts are usually .lua or .rb and go in /hack/scripts or a subfolder in there.

In most cases, you can click the "Raw" button to view just the contents of a file on GitHub, then save that wherever you want (make sure to use the proper extension - ".lua" in this case).

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.
