I have a partial solution, but it requires CDI:VERB and CDI:VERB_TARGET tags. I will include a way of optionally silencing them from the actual announcement log, but they have to be there for this method to work.

A script that creates items on embark according to the starting dwarves' highest skill so the player doesn't end up with an absurd situation where profession dwarves have no equipment:

• A dwarf whose highest profession is Miner should automatically start with a pick
• A dwarf whose highest profession is Woodcutter should automatically start with an axe
• A dwarf whose highest profession is *smithing should automatically start with an anvil
• Military dwarves should come fully armored and equipped

Cant you simply take more points and buy those things?

[Quarterblue]

Hunters do start with a free crossbow, leather armor and quiver. The point is that it removes tedious micromanagement (having to manually equip each of your dwarves, etc.) and would allow to take less points than usual.

Something vaguely like advfort for arena mode so modders can test buildings and reactions without going through worldgen.

How about something which would allow us to get back reason(s) why something is not being done? Like why when I have tons of bolts but soldiers are without ammo. Rather than posting on the forum and getting a set of things to check, I can just debug it myself.

I had another thought, but it's escaping me right now...

I am interested to see your partial solution. I had fiddled with CDI:VERB but was never sure if I was doing it quite correctly, I am sure your method is much better than what I was able to whip up.

[PeridexisErrant]

Probably impossible, but it's related to TwbT so who knows:

Inplement Truetype in [print_mode:standard]

Less fiddling around when you want TrueType, Text will be Text, or Rendermax.

My partial solution is to iterate through df.global.world.status.reports and look for INTERACTION_ACTOR and INTERACTION_TARGET events, require that they happen at the same time, then walk through all the units in df.global.world.units.all and find what reports are in their personal report lists to find out the attacker and defender, then fire the event. Too slow to do very often in Lua, but it's fine for EventManager. It shouldn't be too difficult to implement it yourself in Lua if you want to play with it in r5. I haven't actually done it yet, but theoretically it should work.

There are a few corner cases that misses, like one unit doing an interaction on many simultaneously, or two units using the same interaction on the same tick on two distinct targets, but I'll keep fiddling with it.

But truetype isn't supported on many screens, including dfhack screens, anyway, so what's the point? I thought my new idea of separate tile sizes for map and text is solving the problem of readability and truncation of long notifications, etc., isn't it?

Don't work on this!  You have far better things to do.

The only reason I care at all is the crash-to-desktop with stonesense, since without a way to disable the plugin I can't have both at the moment (else just add "multicmd TwbT disable; wait 10; stonesense overlay" as the activation command).  Which in turn only matters to me because the isometric is a massive draw to new players; I prefer the 2D like most current players. 

It's a problem that's in the process of going away, but I thought I might as well post the idea in case it was easy.

What build for win or os x has stonesense overlay working for sure? I have some builds of r3,4,5 for both systems for testing, but all of them either has no stonesense, no overlay, or it's crashing...

There are several things to think about regarding having twbt and stonesense together, especially if different tile sizes for text/map are used. Ideally, for better performance stonesense overlay should disable map rendering entirely when enabled.

From the dfhack-r5 thread, I downloaded the windows-r5 Stonesense; I don't know what that's built from.    As far as I know there's no working OSX release.

Yeah, I can see a lot of potential for clashes there. 

Stonesense could stand to render a lot less than it currently does.  I did some quick calculations for the minimum screen-filling size, and it involves rendering at least double what it displays, and more for any non-square window.  That's probably even more than the 2D render underneath, without even considering players setting it way higher than they need to...

[mifki]

Is there a plugin (or maybe I just missed some simple way to do that) to see what dwarves with particular labours are currently doing?

[expwnent]

Not really. You just have to iterate through all the dwarves and filter out the ones you don't want. The only alternative is to keep track of what dwarves have what labors yourself and keep it updated often enough.
