Creature Manager
« on: June 09, 2009, 06:26:58 pm »
Ok, so i've got Dwarf Manager... and its quite useful for changing my dwarves activity quickly.


I've added the [PET] tag to a bunch of sentient creatures, and I was wondering if it was possible to make a program similar to Dwarf manager to give these sentients jobs?

Urist Austin, Axedwarf.  A dwarf barely alive.  Gentledwarves, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic dwarf. Urist Austin will be that dwarf. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

I don't know what it's good for, but if you have a small bit of coding experience, you (or anyone) might start with DM, changing the DwarfFortressAccess.IsValidDwarf method to return always true. This way, any creature will be listed in DM. If you can change their jobs and if they will perform them, is up to experimentation. Apart from that, it sounds like cheating. Or are you thinking about other "jobs" (i.e. pet assignment,...)

Sorry for the thread revival.

I really was thinking about like giving the stone hauling job to these sentient "slave" creatures.
