Putnam and I have had very limited success with hijacking existing armies and teleporting them to your fort. It's still really fiddly and not easily scripted though.

[Putnam]

Ludicrously fiddly. Last I tried it, I moved every army in the world to my fort and didn't get an invasion.

[lethosor]

Meaning in or next to your fort?

[Putnam]

Next to moving into.

I'll also need to read the combat log.

Yeah, it's really freaking tricky, I know I got one to work, as did Putnam, but there is still something missing about the way an army determines if it is invading or not which still needs to be found.

Toady mentioned that armies actively avoid a player's embark site unless invading.  For one thing, the time-dilation of fort mode would slow down an army that's just passing through.  And for another, it'd absolutely destroy the game's FPS.  So even if an army is told its next step is an embark tile, there's probably a check to see if they're invading or not.

There are some who can peer at disassemblies and intuit what the program is doing.  I am not one of those people

Nah, I checked, they move an army tile (1/3 of an embark tile) about every 10-50 ticks, ridiculously quickly.

[lethosor]

Right, but an army passing through your fort would move much slower.

Rendermax won't work with the Linux version of dfhack, even without TWBT, even using the freshly compiled build. When typing "rendermax light" the prompt hangs and I have to kill DF manually. Does anyone have the same issue?

[lethosor]

It's worked fine for me. I really can't understand why the prompt would hang when running that command, since it does so little. Does DF still respond? What happens if you run "lua ~df.global.enabler.renderer"?

[Atomic Chicken]

How do I designate a specific tile for mining, given its x,y,z coordinates? (for a script I'm working on)

[lethosor]

Take a look at dfhack.maps.getTileBlock(x, y, z).designation[x%16][y%16]

[Atomic Chicken]

Take a look at dfhack.maps.getTileBlock(x, y, z).designation[x%16][y%16]

That worked great, thanks!

[Warmist]

Take a look at dfhack.maps.getTileBlock(x, y, z).designation[x%16][y%16]

or
local designation,occupancy = dfhack.maps.getTileFlags(coords)
and just change what you want, it works because it returns a reference to the tile flags.
