A plugin or script that could maximise the DF window, or some other method of starting DF maximised.

Shouldn't that be a launcher feature? Like query window resolution, query tileset size and set WindowedX and WindowedY in the init accordingly?

[PeridexisErrant]

A window the size of the screen is different to a maximised window, and different again to fullscreen mode. On Windows at least my tests with cmd scripts seem to indicate that dfhack launches DF, which thus isn't amenable to the simple "start /max" idea directly. So I thought it might make sense to do it through dfhack.

both on windows and linux df lauches dfhack. Not the other way around.

I'm working on a UNIT_ATTACK event for lua. The idea is to make some sort of attack trigger script where you register weapons and/or materials of weapons or combinations and trigger scripts when a unit attacks someone with a particular type of weapon. What uses are there for this, if any?

Spawn flows. Add syndromes. Temperature changes. That should give plenty of options. A firesword bursts a jet of fire when you strike, or a  ice sword causes frostbite. A mace might knock someone unconcious by adding dizziness. Simple things.

It'd also be a way more elegant way to do stuff than ADD_SPATTERing everything.

e: hang on, does a projectile that misses and harmlessly hits the ground leave an exploitable mark you could hook effects to? That'd make explosive siege projectiles pretty great.

It's basically done. The only problem is that it doesn't distinguish between a dwarf holding a steel mace punching someone and a dwarf holding a steel mace actually hitting them with the mace. Hopefully that'll be close enough. It'll be in the next release.

I think projectileExpansion does this.

Yes it does. Explosive siege projectiles are already in Genesis and MDF.

Thanks expwnent, I will have a look at the ingame uses, once I find some time. ^^

Yeah, eventful has an onProjHitEvent or something along those lines.

I notice you are able to get both attacker and defender unit ids, can something similar be done for interactions?

You guys want everything.

I'll look into it.

We really need a Modding Suggestion thread as well, so non-modders can make unreasonable demands of modders, just like you scripters/coders get.

It's only because we love you.
