Yes, thats why I have never done it... I have 1300 creatures... now if someone could write a script that adds *SIZE XXX* to the beginning of each creature description, reading out the size from the raws, that would be awesome. ^^

That's actually pretty simple. I already have something similar written. When I get a sec I will change it to do size.

skillsyndrome stuff

This is awesome and have to be done.

An expansion of building planner to do the same thing for constructions, so that I can map out entire levels of above-ground fortresses, independently of whether or not I currently have materials.

Edit: Also, a gui tweak to show the name of an item in the color it should be based on material. Cabinet for a microcline cabinet, for instance.

I would like to see a way to edit the number of dwarves you can have on embark, please

The weird thing is, dfusion has a script that should do this... it just isn't exposed, as far as I can tell.

It got lost during the rewriting. There will be a ruby script that does this in the next release.

I don't know about itemsyndrome, but if it works like autoSyndrome then you can already make it trigger a ruby or lua script on the target dwarf and add whatever syndrome you want after checking skills. No additional stuff necessary.

I have one feature request: a search plugin for the burrow interface to filter by name or profession.

That's already in the current version of DFHack.

Of course there is additional stuff necessary. I never used Lua myself and am not familiar with dfhack API, so I need someone else to do the main part, then I can just edit the script to what syndromes for which skills exactly are needed. All I need is a "proof of concept" that would set a few syndromes based on skill levels, such as my mining and warrior example and a list of skills that Lua understands. I can take it from there.

[expwnent]

I meant that itemSyndrome would not need to be changed. Assuming it already does what I think it does.

[Putnam]

It's slow enough as is. It checks every item on every creature and every contaminant on those items and applies the syndrome on the item if the item passes the affected/immune class/creature checks and item position checks.

I could get skillsyndrome to work in such a way that it would require minimal (I.E no) lua skill to get a modder to run properly. Arbitrary raw arguments like SYN_CLASS are very helpful.

[Maklak]

I'm not averse to modifying scripts in unknown languages by copy-paste, modifying text strings and changing if conditions. I can do that, I just need some place to start. For general usage, yeah, making the script apply things from RAWs is probably a better idea.

[Meph]

It might not be that hard with ruby or lua, but a C script for a .dll that needs to be compiled would be bad. ^^

Skillsyndromes sounds very useful for balancing Have a dwarf have lvl15 of MAGIC_NATURE before he can become a real mage, or having legendary skill before someone can run the reaction to transform into a guild master. its nice.

It only works on syndromes and interactions, not in reactions, correct? It would be amazing if a reaction could be restricted to a certain skill level.

[Putnam]

Not sure about the reaction thing.

[Maklak]

Well, once you have skill syndromes and a reaction that produces a boulder with a syndrome, you can make the effects apply to those that have the correct skill syndrome. Preventing the wrong dwarves from running the reaction and wasting resources is easy enough with profiling the workshop.
