Hello anon >.> and you can artifake one into existence. https://github.com/maxthyme/dfstuff/blob/master/artifake.lua

I've been fiddling with that for a little while, and I can easily get an artifact slab, but how can I set it to function as a secret/necromancy slab?

[Max™]

Oh, well I went and checked, this is just using a regular createitem slab btw.

That's the one from world-gen under gui/gm-editor df.global.world.artifacts, usually it'll be one of the last slabs before the books show up.


This is the slab I made and edited.


It worked.


This is one of the interactions I added (1 and 2 are just cleaning, 3 is hide, 4+ will be new ones) for something else.


It worked!

I'm having a bit of trouble with the add-syndrome script in modtools. I'll admit I'm a beginner at using dfhack in this way, so if I wanted to add a syndrome to turn my adventurer into a mist thrall/husk, how would I go about doing that?

I don't really care if you just tell me how to do it or give me a direct command to put into the console but I would really appreciate some help on this one.

Unfortunately, you can only deal with syndromes that have names using add-syndrome. Autogenerated ones like vampirism and husks don't have names.

I need some help with reaction-product-trigger. I've written this script, taxidermy.lua, which is meant to be used in a reaction which takes a corpse or vermin remains and produces a statue or figurine. The script targets the corpse reagent, obtain histfig or race,caste ids from it, and then alters the statue so that the statue appears to correspond to the corpse (i.e. corpse of a cat -> statue of a cat). As it is, the script works as intended, as long as the only reagent used is the corpse. I was wondering if it is possible to use reaction-product-trigger in this way when multiple reagents are present, and if so what alterations need to be done to my own script to ensure proper functioning.

The script so far:

Code: [Select]

-- taxidermy.lua
-- by Atomic Chicken

local utils = require 'utils'

validArgs = validArgs or utils.invert({
 'corpse_id',
 'statue_id',
 'record_name',
 'help'
})
local args = utils.processArgs({...}, validArgs)

if args.help then
 print([[ taxidermy.lua
 This script is designed to work with a reaction that takes a corpse and produces one statue of any material.

 arguments:
 
 -corpse_id
The item id of the corpse you wish to "stuff".
If used in conjunction with reaction-product-trigger, this takes \\INPUT_ITEMS

 -statue_id
The item id of the statue produced in the reaction.
If used in conjunction with reaction-product-trigger, this takes \\OUTPUT_ITEMS

 -record_name
If this optional argument is included, the script will check whether the corpse was from a named historical figure,
and if so describes the statues as being "of [creature's name]" rather than "of [creature's race]".

  To use:
 
 Create a file called "onLoad.init" in Dwarf Fortress/raw if one does not already exist.
 Enter the following:
  modtools/reaction-product-trigger -reactionName YOUR_REACTION -command [ taxidermy -corpse_id \\INPUT_ITEMS -statue_id \\OUTPUT_ITEMS -record_name ]
 Replace "YOUR_REACTION" with whatever your reaction is called.
 ]])
 return
end

if not args.corpse_id then
error 'ERROR: Corpse id not specified.'
end

if not args.statue_id then
error 'ERROR: Statue id not specified.'
end

corpse = df.item.find(tonumber(args.corpse_id))
statue = df.item.find(tonumber(args.statue_id))

if corpse ~= nil and statue ~= nil then

if args.record_name
and corpse:getType() ~= df.item_type.REMAINS
and corpse.hist_figure_id ~= -1 then
unit_id = corpse.unit_id
unit = df.unit.find(unit_id)
if unit.name.has_name == true then
target_desc_name = dfhack.TranslateName(dfhack.units.getVisibleName(unit))

dfhack.timeout(1,'ticks',function()
statue.description = ''..target_desc_name..''

for _,artchunk in ipairs(df.global.world.art_image_chunks) do
if artchunk.id == statue.image.id then

statue_image = artchunk.images[statue.image.subid]
end
end

while #statue_image.elements > 0 do
statue_image.elements:erase(#statue_image.elements-1)
end

while #statue_image.properties > 0 do
statue_image.properties:erase(#statue_image.properties-1)
end

newart=df.art_image_element_creaturest:new()
statue_image.elements:insert("#",newart)

statue_image.elements[0].histfig = corpse.hist_figure_id

statue_image.mat_type = -1
statue_image.mat_index = -1
end)
end

else

raceindex = corpse.race
casteindex = corpse.caste
target_desc = df.global.world.raws.creatures.all[raceindex].caste[casteindex].caste_name[0]

dfhack.timeout(1,'ticks',function()
statue.description = 'a '..target_desc..''

for _,artchunk in ipairs(df.global.world.art_image_chunks) do
if artchunk.id == statue.image.id then
statue_image = artchunk.images[statue.image.subid]
end
end

while #statue_image.elements > 0 do
statue_image.elements:erase(#statue_image.elements-1)
end

while #statue_image.properties > 0 do
statue_image.properties:erase(#statue_image.properties-1)
end

statue_image.elements[0].caste = casteindex
statue_image.elements[0].count = 1

statue_image.mat_type = -1
statue_image.mat_index = -1

end)
end
end
In onLoad.init:

Code: [Select]

modtools/reaction-product-trigger -reactionName TAXIDERMY -command [ taxidermy -corpse_id \\INPUT_ITEMS -statue_id \\OUTPUT_ITEMS -record_name ]


[expwnent]

The simplest way to do it is to have a helper script extract the first reagent and product.

Code: [Select]

modtools/reaction-product-trigger -reactionName TAXIDERMY -command [ taxidermy-helper -inputs [ \\INPUT_ITEMS ] -outputs [ \\OUTPUT_ITEMS ] -record_name ]

(note the extra brackets)

Code: [Select]

--taxidermy-helper.lua
local utils = require 'utils'

validArgs = utils.invert({
 'inputs',
 'outputs',
 'record_name'
})
local args = utils.processArgs({...}, validArgs)

--put error checking here

local commandstr = 'taxidermy -corpse_id ' .. args.inputs[1] .. ' -statue_id ' .. args.outputs[1]
if args.record_name then
  commandstr = commandstr .. ' -record_name'
end
dfhack.run_command(commandstr)

Is -r4 planned? Need to find time to submit a bunch of df structures patches before that.

I would also like to know, since I'm thinking of adding Vjek's scripts.

I would like to do one more release before the next DF release, yes.

Thanks!

Sure. Glad to see modtools stuff getting used.

[Dirst]

Roses, the add_attack script seems to work in fort mode.  I stripped out the error-checking because it's used internally, but the guts function as intended.

Even the dwarf who was the victim of the first induced attack seemed exited to see things working so well!



Sometimes, these guys bother me.

[TheFlame52]

Is there anywhere else in a creature besides the main screen and the soul that gender/caste is stored?

[Putnam]

hist fig

[TheFlame52]

What menu is that under? I can't find it. Is it 'hist_figure_id'?

[Putnam]

df.historical_figure.find(hist_fig_id) will get you the hist fig given the hist_fig_id (which for a unit will be unit.hist_fig_id)
