While updating structures I've encountered a problem.
I am sure these two compounds ("waypoints" and "burrows" in "df.global.ui") are correct and are  in the right place. 6 points, 3 burrows, "In_edit_waypoints_mode" is true when I am editing route. Structures look and behave same as they were in 42.05. But there are "16 bytes of something" between them on windows 0.42.06, and only 12 bytes on linux 0.42.06. How to describe these 16(12)bytes in xml? Or am I doing something wrong?

but I get errors about a "complex object" in my tests, mostly likely an issue with the announcement_flags.  Would you mind giving me the code to announce "This is a test" at position {x=10,y=20,z=30} with no zooming or pausing?

It could also be that it wants a df.coord instance, not an Lua table that happens to have x, y, and z fields. I think the syntax to make one is df.coord:new().

Thanks expwnent!

Aren't the platform-specific folders there for overrides like this? It looks like you can make a file of the same name and only redefine what you need to override.

If you mean the folders in the DF-structures repo, that's not what they're for - they mostly contain platform-specific csv files. I suspect the padding is a vector or some other stl structure, although I don't remember the size of a vector under msvc.

Is there an easy way to tell if a crash is DFHack related vs normal DF crash?

After much trial and error, this works:

Code: [Select]

dfhack.gui.makeAnnouncement(5,{false,false,false,true},xyz2pos(10,20,30),"You have struck whatchamacallit!",6,1)

So I have been tinkering with turning units undead and animating the dead with DFHack. I have found that adding a df.unit.T_enemy.T_undead:new() to the unit.enemy.undead is enough to make them nearly unkillable.

In my first tests I chopped creatures heads off and they would only die of blood loss or suffocation.
My second tests involved also adding a syndrome with NOBREATH and removing HAS_BLOOD, this time the units would run around like dwarves with their heads chopped off.

My question is, has anyone else tinkered with simulating the I_EFFECT:ANIMATE interaction effect? The only other difference I found was that animated dead lacked a soul (by this I mean unit.status.current_soul = nil). I'm wondering if there are any other things that are different, or if anyone has any advice.

Thanks, it seems to be empty stl-vector indeed. Did not know that its size depends on compiler. Same thing in new sidebar compound. It contains stl-vectors and stl-strings. And they have different sizes in linux and windows. So cannot temporary put padding here. Have to figure out what stl structures here and put them.

A further update on the spawned creature issue.  It becomes insubstantial the moment it gets a name (since it is spawned without a name, this is probably the moment it gets a historical figure ID).  Saving has nothing to do with it.  Still trying to find a way to fix it.

While we're on the subject of spawning, create-unit move the camera around because it simulate some arena mode input and zooms into whenever the game felt spawning the unit to, even if I teleport is towards its intended location.

So I want to save the camera's position and zooms it back at the end of the script but I cannot find any position for the player's view anywhere. Is this accessible?

Right now you have to do it yourself. I think create-unit has bigger problems at the moment though. It's currently a proof of concept more than a working thing.

I'll try to incorporate restoring the view into any fixed code I come up with.  There is definitely something broken about creatures in civ -1 becoming historical.  Next step (when I get a chance, maybe Monday) is to see if it affects creatures in a real civ.

Dirst: is this the most recent/functional version of create-unit?
