Disabling pause in 40d16
« on: October 26, 2009, 05:33:46 pm »
Does anyone know how i would go about disabling pausing in 40d16? dtil didn't seem to work and i don't know of any apps that have this feature, I don't want it to pause when thieves show up, or when sieges start etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

To my knowledge, which messages cause pausing is hardcoded and cannot be changed.

I thought I heard of someone who left a nearly self-sufficient fort running overnight. I seem to remember that whoever it was used a utility that somehow unpaused the game whenever it was paused. You might want to follow that lead.

Dtil's the one, but it doesn't work on d16 as far as I know.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

Would something that spams the spacebar do the trick?

Dwarven blood types are not A, B, AB, O but Ale, Wine, Beer, Rum, Whisky and so forth.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

I'd expect it would, but it would also be incredibly impractical for a vast number of reasons.

how about if you set up a task to press the spacebar when the CPU utilization drops below 40%?  ;D

Bumping this so that other people who are unaware will see the link for the d16 unpauser!  I have been wanting something to unpause d16 forever and hadnt found this yet.
