How to customise dwarves? Design your own dwarf?
« on: July 04, 2016, 05:21:14 pm »

Hi guys,

I'd love to be able to make my dwarves into people that I know ...

But to do that I'd need to be able to change appearance, hopes, dreams, preferences etc.

I know that vjek has written some DFHack scripts to change attitudes, but not appearances.

I can't have been the first person to think of this and just wondering if people can point me in the right direction.

Target a dwarf in game, then in DFHack use:
gui/gm-editor

and look under 'appearance', that is:
unit.T_appearance

things that look likely would be under bp_modifiers, genes, tissue_style*, and colors.

Change some values, see what you get! :)

EDIT:  The other stuff is under status(unit.T_status), souls(unit_soul[0]) and personality(unit_personality)
