Is there a way to delete thoughts via gm-editor? Bastiongate has a bunch of dwarves with bugged vengeful thoughts that might cause disaster.

[lethosor]

Alt+d should work. You can press ? for a (hopefully) full list of keybindings.

Thanks. You're a lifesaver. My dwarves were starting to tantrum. It's one thing to lose a beloved fort, but it's another to lose said fort to a stupid bug.

Does anybody know what the biome numbers mean in world_region_details? Or at least how to get the biome info in general?

thoughts AFAIK don't cause stress after they're initially created, so I don't think deleting the thought will help; what you want to do is edit stress directly.

For a completely unrelated feature, is there a way to wink an item out of existence?  My vision for the megabeast is to "animate" nearby boulders, which really means destroying the boulder and spawning a creature in the same tile.  The creature then has a corpse item of that kind of boulder to keep everything logical.

If you look at the autodump plugin you should be able to figure it out. There's a flag you have to set but I forget which one. Hopefully you won't mind waiting one frame for it to disappear.

            itm->flags.bits.garbage_collect = true;

How can i make a program read the games output through DFhack?

[Rose]

Which output?

[Scoops Novel]

the descriptions.

[Rose]

There's a script called forum-dwarves that outputs the descriptions to a text file with bbcode for colors.

[lethosor]

The "markdown" script would probably also work, and I'm working on another script that'll support more formats.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll do it here as well as on Putnam's thing.  Yes, I am a complete newb.

Whenever I force a siege with modtools/force -CivAttack -EVIL, it says this:

...1.03_\DWARFF~1\Dwarf Fortress 0.40.24\hack\lua\utils.lua:595: error: invalid
arg: 1: CivAttack

Forcing a siege doesn't work in DF 40.01+, because army movements were changed by Toady, and nobody nows how to spawn an invading army (yet).
You can beta-test the create-unit script for the same(ish) feature.
