can I add a few additional noble positions to the game in progress somehow?

[BlackFlyme]

No, changes to an entity will always require you to re-gen a new world.

[TeleDwarf]

Maybe some other option? DF Hack? DFusion?

[BlackFlyme]

Not that I know of. What exactly do you want to be added in?

[TeleDwarf]

Some flavored titular noble positions with room requirements and mandates. If mandates could be weighted it would be awesome. Like Senators would more likely mandate golden crafts and alcohol, while military tribunes would demand more weapons and praetor would demand soap.

[BlackFlyme]

You can't make certain positions make certain mandates, unfortunately. Nobles will always mandate items and materials they like.

It is possible to use DFHack to add new positions to an existing world - take a look at thethe "fixdiplomats" and "fixmerchants" commands (both located in fixpositions.cpp).

[TeleDwarf]

thanks Quietust.
That cpp is in dfhack sourcecode, right? I will need to compile my own plugin for that to work, correct?

I thought that there was a utility that allowed hacking arbitrary changes into a already generated world?

[scamtank]

DfWorldTweaker, was it? Maybe.

It took a bit of searching to find, but finally a search for "34.11" found it on the 3rd or 4th page.

Enjoy!

I believe DFHack has or had some experimental thing that would attempt to reparse the entities, but it had a warning that implied to me that it was likely to trash your save.

For the record, not everything you change in the entity files requires a regen.  Most do, but not everything.  You can change the population requirements for a noble position, for example.  I believe tweaking numbers works for the most part, but not much else does.

That won't work for adding new positions, since entity positions are created during worldgen and only use the raws as a template (if at all - positions like "law-giver" are created entirely from scratch and have no raws at all).

The two "fixpositions" commands in DFHack effectively perform the same steps used by the game during worldgen.
