Still around Mason?

Still around Mason?

Yup! checking in occasionally waiting for a new release.

I'd just like to say that this is a very useful utility. It complements Legends Viewer well. I especially like it because it lets me see how many worshipers gods have and how many descendants a historical figure has.

I just wanted to say thank you for this! I just came back to DF after a long time away and wanted to start back up again with something special - your tool helped me find the perfect civ to start in, a decimated dwarven civilization with a grand total of 62 dwarves, at war with an elven Civ of some 5000 pointy eared bastards who have ravaged our civilization in a war currently ongoing for 8 years. We, the last survivors, shall build a fort in the middle of the ocean and drown them! Also the main deity is a bobcat.

Hi all!

Just released version 2.4.2 for df 44.  Download (32-bit)

This mostly incorporated parsing for all the new items:

• New Events:
  
  • hf prayed inside structure
  • hf recruited unit type for entity
  • hfs formed reputation relationship
  • hf viewed artifact
  • artifact copied
  • artifact recovered
  • artifact claim formed
  • artifact given
  • artifact found
• You can now read about musical/dance/poetic forms, as that's included in the xml
• A lot of other little additions to historical figures

It should load whatever world now, but there's a bit left to do to flesh out the new stuff:

• Work on the Export feature, which I disabled temporarily since it's not complete.
• Display some more details about new export, including fey mood, reputations

I've ran this through about 20 different size/length world, but if anyone want to throw a world or two add it to make sure it handles it well that'd be helpful.  Thanks!

Edit: Version 2.4.2

[TheFlame52]

Thank you!

I'm working on something to try to write a little bit of a story out of a civilization's history, like I have for viewing historical figures.  Lists of data and stats are good, but sometimes words are nice.

This is an example of something I'm automatically generating now when you view a civ.  Considering the entire swath of data available for me about civs, all their wars/battles/leaders/members/sites/events, let me know what you think would be a cool addition to this:

What does it change? Is it something that should be incorporated into the DFHack version?

[Karater]

just hat a look at your changes to exportlegends.lua. can you check export_sites() it seems to write the closing tag for underground_regions.
the populations you added for regions and underground_regions are in some kind of list. Wouldn't it be better to export them as separate xml elements "<population><race></race><count></count><type></type></population>?

WrittenContent and the three ArtForms are now in the vanilla legends.xml since 0.44.01+. But they are at the end of the xml, instead of just before the HistoricalEvents as in the legends_plus.xml.
I already opened a pull request a week ago to bring them in the same order as in the vanilla legends.xml.
It would really help to process the two xml files parallel when they have the same order.

Additionally it would be really awesome if you could find a way to get the used and current identities of historical figures into legends_plus.xml.
There are <current_identity_id> and <used_identity_id> nodes, but this ids do not point to the strings that are used in legends mode. This strings are nowhere in the legends.xml file.

[Mason11987]

Thanks guys for the input!

@Karater

You're right on the underground regions tag, thanks for the catch.  my processing ignores extraneous close tags so I missed it.

I used a list format in a couple places, like river coordinates, historical figures in an entity, and a few other places.  I used them in a few cases to try to reduce the excessive size of the file that gets generated, for race populations it's probably not as big of an impact as a few other spots.  I'm fine going another route though.

@lothosor,

Honestly, I think the changes I made should be incorporated there, but I didn't want to do it myself right away, especially since I had changed so much in terms of structure to make it easier to manage, and removing/adding/changing tags.  Also, I couldn't easily pull down the dfhack code to make a pull request, I'm probably doing it wrong though.

@Kromtec,

I'll change the ordering in mine, and I'll look into the identities, I think I saw something on that while trawling through the new stuff in this version.

I'm heavily interested in getting this info in separate XML for auto generating signatures for map based on isoworld export. Can somebody help me?
