Are there any scripts out there that modify the hunger rates for Dwarves?
If not, could someone direct me toward making one?

I do not know of any.

[Max™]

Wait hunger like the counter or hunger like how fast they get hungry, didn't it get discovered that recuperation influences that?

the gui/gm-unit.lua can do the counters as I recall, I've been meaning to add an attribute editor to it since it should be pretty straightforward to just point the same layout as the skill section towards the body.attributes and status.current_soul.mental_attributes instead of status.current_soul.skills with the appropriately renamed sections and value displays swapped in.

Keep thinking about how to translate the list of stuff in appearance.bp_modifiers into a cromulent list for editing and getting distracted from the much easier attributes idea.

So you guys wanted monsters to attack other people? I finally found how to do it (in my work for arena building).

So there is this thing called "enemy_status_cache". Like name implies it's only used for enemies (or at least my testing showed that). Combined with "unit.enemy.enemy_status_slot" you can figure out what is "relation" between two units. Here's a small script that i used for testing:

Code: [Select]

local u=dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit()
local my_slot=u.enemy.enemy_status_slot
print(my_slot)
local args={...}
local trg_slot=tonumber(args[1])
if not trg_slot or trg_slot==my_slot then
u.civ_id=df.global.ui.civ_id
qerror("invalid target slot")
end
u.civ_id=-1
print("was:"..df.global.world.enemy_status_cache.rel_map[my_slot][trg_slot])
print("Reverse:"..df.global.world.enemy_status_cache.rel_map[trg_slot][my_slot])
df.global.world.enemy_status_cache.rel_map[my_slot][trg_slot]=tonumber(args[2])

Thanks Warmist!  I will test this out when I get a chance (which unfortunately might not be for several days).

Do you need to induce a first blow between the units, or can you specify which one throws the first punch?

You can probably set one to be angry at another and the other be friendly (till he gets hit?)
Also found some research on these values: here

The context would be a newly spawned unit 0 or 1 tiles away from a fort citizen, and the mod logic determines that the newly spawned unit is supposed to be "hostile" but not berserk.

I've been working on identifying the different variables under bp_modifiers for a utility I'm working on. Is there a place where I can document this in the dfhack or dfstructures repo? Thanks!

[Max™]

Clone a version of df-structures and assign the variable values/names under the unit.appearance entries?

Once you get them worked out or even just worked out as far as you can, submit a pull request, and thank you for working on that too. I've got some idea of them. I know the bottom 20 or so are skin wrinkles, there is a chunk of 5 with the same values for teeth spacing, the hair lengths are a chunk of 2 pairs and 2 more which match the values under tissue_length, and then there are a few more for like nose straightness/size that I don't know as well.

[Nazushvel]

Gotcha. I am confident I know what all of the bp_modifier values do, as well as the values for tissue styles. I'll try to figure out how to add these values correctly...the XML structure is very confusing to me. I'm completely unfamiliar with C++ and Lisp, and I just dived into Lua for this project.

[Dirst]

Is there a straightforward way to determine the "type" of an object, for example differentiating between a trap and a workshop?  The type() operator just says "userdata".

It turns out that a building ID can refer to things other than a workshop, and referencing a workshop-only field crashes Lua.  As a stopgap, I filtered on construction_stage 3 and no design quality... but getting the actual object type would be preferable.

[lethosor]

Try object._type (type() is a function, by the way, which will return "userdata" for anything that isn't a basic Lua type).
What exactly are you doing in Lua that causes a crash? For example, "custom_type" is a field specific to workshops, but "df.building_trapst:new().custom_type" doesn't crash.

[expwnent]

Dirst: I think that would require run-time type information, which Toady does not have enabled.

[Dirst]

I had hooked into job completion and checked for job type 68, which is constructing a building.  I was checking the building to see if it was relevant to the mod's logic, but referenced a field (custom_type) that doesn't exist for traps.  I suspect bridges might be a problem too, so the current screen is a new building, construction_stage == 3, and design == nil.  Those should exist for any building... I hope.

Edit: a "capture" or "on error" structure would work, too.

[Dirst]

Dirst: I think that would require run-time type information, which Toady does not have enabled.

Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted.  Can't have everything I suppose.

Thanks for the help guys!

Don't know why expwnent said that, since game types are known to us. You can use df.is_instance(df.building_workshopst,your_building).
(your_building._type == df.building_workshopst) will work too in your case, but is_instance handles subclasses as well.
