Not really besides going to github and reading through the df-structures.xml file?

It's not a stable thing, since you'd have to go in and manually edit historical events and try to track down all the links to them, tightrope in high winds with no safety net at all.

There's a point where you probably want to make a script for it.

That is the exact point.

My process for writing scripts is basically that; go into the lua interface (or gm-editor, if you prefer), go through each step of the process to do what you want and write that step down. If it works, you basically already have a script.

And if it doesn't, you have yet another way to instantly induce a crash or corrupt a save

[Max™]

Corrupting a save with a script is pretty hard to do accidentally, and I play around with shit like moving sites, renaming them, altering historical relationships, or flat out inserting artifact creation events/references.

I've successfully changed the parental links for the kid of an adventurer I got pregnant with dfusion, adding the father back in and having them respond properly, and be recorded correctly in all game screens. Totally renamed forts so all references to it point to the right position, actually moved sites around cleanly.

As long as you don't deliberately remove anything without clearing the pointers to it or try specifically to screw up a save, I don't see how you would corrupt one just writing a lua script.

How commonly-used is dfusion, by the way? There's a discussion about removing it on Github, but I'm not sure how much would need to be converted to scripts.

[Putnam]

I use it for Fortbent (transformation into different creatures that ought still be citizens is an important part of the mod) and nothing else. This will be obsolete as of the next version of DF, which would probably be the best time to replace it; AFAIK, all the non-friendship functionality is easily replacable.

I use it for easier body-swapping/reincarnation, plus its heal command can bring things back to life where full-heal can't. Impregnate is useful too.

1. What situations would that be?
2. Yeah, that's easily replacable. I've already made a pregnancy script, in fact.

[TheFlame52]

Both have their advantages. Full-heal can heal better, but dfusion can restore you to life in adventure mode. Try it.

[lethosor]

I don't see anything from looking at the source that should prevent full-heal from working in adventure mode. Is it just impossible to select yourself after you die in adventure mode?

[TheFlame52]

No, it just doesn't bring you back to life. Dfusion does. What dfusion doesn't do is heal you properly. It's a bit broken.

[lethosor]

Try replacing this section in full-heal.lua (starting at line 134 in 0.40.24-r4):

Code: [Select]

    for i=0,#v-1,1 do
        v[i].on_fire = false
        v[i].missing = false
        v[i].organ_loss = false
        v[i].organ_damage = false
        v[i].muscle_loss = false
        v[i].muscle_damage = false
        v[i].bone_loss = false
        v[i].bone_damage = false
        v[i].skin_damage = false
        v[i].motor_nerve_severed = false
        v[i].sensory_nerve_severed = false
    end
with this:

Code: [Select]

    for i=0,#v-1,1 do
        v[i].whole = 0
    end


[Putnam]

No, it just doesn't bring you back to life. Dfusion does. What dfusion doesn't do is heal you properly. It's a bit broken.

Have you tried using -r? It works perfectly for me.

[TheFlame52]

Oh what? There are more options? Okay then, I didn't know.

Main thing I do with dfusion is change adventurer, which can also be moved to a new script. The sites thing is handy but I like the claim a site reaction hook one more, and though that hooks into dfusion it can also be moved out of it.
