Would anyone be up for whipping up a script like soundsense-season, to add information to the gamelog on load that can identify the world?  I'm thinking of something like "Loaded RegionX, [dwarfname] [translatedname]".   

There's a nice little utility called Story Maker which could take advantage of something like this in the next version, but it would also be nice for flavor and tracking activity across different forts manually.  It would also potentially allow someone to build a plugin that lets DF show gamelog info from previous sessions, which could be nice for people who play in short bursts. 

Update:  Done.  Thanks to those who helped; it's included in my LNP or available at the link.

Targeting only worn clothing with a reaction
- Possible: PROBABLY NO
 - Makes cleaning up worn clothing a lot easier
 - Could be used for a "burn worn clothing" or "recycle thread from worn clothing" reaction.

I'm just now seeing this, but why is this supposedly impossible?  You can have reactions trigger dfhack scripts now, correct?

I wrote a script months ago that removed the wear from all of the items in the fort just because I was tired of constantly making clothing.  To me, it seems that if you can target all of the items with wear, then targetting one item with wear should be pretty simple?  Although it might be hard to target a SPECIFIC item, it just seems to be like a "Hey, burn any clothing with wear > 3" should be perfectly possible.

For reference:

Spoiler: removewear.lua (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

-- Resets all items in your fort to 0 wear

local args = {...}

local reset = (args[1] == 'reset')

local count = 0

function removeWear(item)
count = count + 1

if reset then
item:setWear(0)
end
end

for _,item in ipairs(df.global.world.items.all) do
if (item.wear > 0) then
removeWear(item)
end
end

if reset then
print("Items reset to 0 wear: "..count)
else
print("Total worn items: "..count)
print("Use 'removewear reset' to reset all of your items back to new condition")
end

Targeting clothes should be easy, since they're all contained in the unit's inventory.

The probably impossible part is making the reaction only target worn clothing, preventing it from just always retargetting the same shoe over and over, and so on. It's probably possible if you really try hard enough, but it would be awkward at best and could result in a lot of job cancellation spam.

could also use a two job cycle, where the first job runs the script that selects the damaged clothing for the second job which it creates (would want to have a free job slot in the workshop for the new job).  This way it can exclude the clothing worn by the worker.

[expwnent]

I'm not sure if jobs like that preselect job items before they are started. If not, you'd just have to swoop in and change the job item every time such a workshop job is initiated and change the job item to something appropriate by doing an annoying pathfinding thing to locate all worn clothing, and cancel the job nicely if there is no worn clothing. It's possible, just more difficult than it seems at first glance. Framerate would only be a minor issue, because the percentage of frames on which the slow part of the script runs would be small, but of course, if there are a lot of different scripts that each have only a minor impact on framerate, the slowdown would add up over time.

Admittedly I know nothing about actual DF modding, only scipting in general.  Maybe I'm just missing something about how the reactions work.  I would think that if you had a script that returned an item with wear, and did something with it in a reaction to make it either not exist anymore or not have wear anymore, that the next time you ran the script it wouldn't be selecting the same item again.  But maybe because of the tick system, that just doesn't work?

auto-dump items that produce miasma?  Preferably items that are not alive (mwmod has miasma producing rotten limbs that are attached to dwarfs)

[Putnam]

Rotten limbs still attached to dwarves can happen in vanilla, too

Has the OP been updated? I thought that power-dependent workshops had been confirmed to be possible.

[Meph]

Hasnt been updated... I didnt get much info though, so I wouldnt know what to change on the opening post.

Aboveground-only buildings would be nice. ^^

auto-explore plugin for military dwarf's.  I could use my vampires to explore the caverns without me needing to constantly reissue stationary orders

[thistleknot]

Workshop profile saves.  I.e. I'm playing mwmod and a lot of the libraries are only useful to specific group of dwarf's.  It would be nice if I could say, create a military grouping of dwarf's for the Profile, and then just load it while I'm inside the tavern's profile...  Hope that makes sense, would apply to other buildings as well.  Seems like something Falconne would be great at...

Already been implemented for the next release.

I'd like something that allows animals to be treated medically the same way dwarves are treated. A manual switch between 'treat as animal' and 'treat as dwarf' would be fine.
