"if script.env == _ENV" might work too. I don't know if there is a way, although I could easily expose "path" and "script" to scripts, say as "_PATH", "__path", "__path__", etc.. That obviously won't work in existing DFHack versions, though, so I'm not sure if adding that would be helpful for you currently. (That is a pretty good way to find the script's path, though.)

[TheFlame52]

Is there an updated tool for exporting generated raws?

[lethosor]

A DFHack tool or an external one?
If you're looking to edit generated raws, that's actually pretty easy to do in-game with DFHack (e.g. "gui/gm-editor df.global.world.raws"), although you should definitely make backups if you're trying that.

I think he means things like forgotten beasts.

[TheFlame52]

I just want to look at demon syndromes, but you have the right idea.

[lethosor]

I think he means things like forgotten beasts.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Assuming their raws are in world.raws, that would be a way of editing them in-game.

If you just want to export them, they're embedded somewhere in world.dat or world.sav. I'm not aware of tools that can decompress and extract raws from those files, but Andux's save tools might be able to. (They're Windows-only, as I recall, although I've been thinking of writing a cross-platform replacement in Go or something.)

[TheFlame52]

Andux hasn't updated those tools since 2012. What about export-generated-raws, which is what I used in 0.40?

[lethosor]

If it worked in 0.40, it should still work - I don't think the compressed raw format has changed at all. If it has, Andux is still around.

[TheFlame52]

I'll try it. I'm doing research for writing class and I want to see how a particular demon's poison works so I can write it accurately.

EDIT: I can't get it to work, it just crashes instantly after opening. All the files do. I'm on windows.

[Greiger]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I still seem to be able to see generated creature raws just by loading up world.sav in a text editor.  Only issue is that the save needs to be uncompressed, which I think you can do in an existing world by just setting the uncompressed saves init option, loading a world and then re-saving.

It's a little bit of a slog finding exactly the right creature, and it's not as nicely formatted as the actual raws, but they are there. 
If you try this method I would recommend copying some lines from the description and trying to do a find in the file.  the generated raws are all plain text in the file. including a [DESCRIPTION:x] flag.  So trying to find a relatively unique line from the description should locate it.

Oh and don't try to edit anything in that file, yer save will probably break.  Even though there is plain text in the file, most of it is still not text formatted, and at least in my experience text editors fail to format everything right after an edit.

[TheFlame52]

I've never been able to, even on an uncompressed save.

[Greiger]

Odd maybe it's a feature of notepad++ then.  *tries* *successfully finds  forgotten beast raws using builtin windows notepad* what kind of text editor are you using?  If windows notepad can pull these up successfully I imagine anything can.

Heck it looks like it contains raws for the random instruments now too.

It's pretty much just a matter of ignoring the garbage data and imagining each tag in it's own line.

Maybe that will help locate it if it was just a matter of not being able to find the stuff in the wall of tags note that the description is at the END of the entry.

EDIT: It seems posting that has disabled my quick modify button for this post. I pasted it with the garbage data between lines intact (though the forum seemed to have ignored them) but it might still be messing with the forum software.  Let me know if things on this page seem to break and I'll remove it.

[TheFlame52]

Alright, I'll give it another try.

[kane_t]

Has anybody figured out a way to manually create written quires in Fortress Mode?

I've done a little research myself:

• df.written_content.find(id) can be used to find the contents of written books/quires
• written-on quires have an itemimprovement_writingst in their item improvements vector
• itemimprovement_writingst.anon_1 is a vector containing the int32 IDs for df.written_content.find(id), one for each page of the quire, presumably.

The wall I hit was that itemimprovement_writingst.anon_1 has the same name as an anonymous field in a base class, which is some type of number.  Because of this, I can't reference the vector field (Lua just only understands .anon_1 as the base class field), and the gm-editor won't let me insert primitive types (like int32), so there's no way for me to insert a new field into the vector.  Also, I'm not entirely sure where the written_content entries are stored.

[TheFlame52]

I can't even decompress my save, even though I set compressed saves to no and made and retired an adventurer. What gives?
