Getting a crash now and then when going to some units through to unit menu as well as when pressing v to inspect or examining creatures. Mostly seems to happen to creatures on different z levels, think it might be with some of the DFHack options on some of these things.

Are you using TwbT?

[KillzEmAllGod]

No just the default stuff with alpha 2.

How can I find the phase of a generated material at a given temperature? Here is what I have tried:

Code: [Select]

[lua]# m=df.inorganic_raw.find(300).material
[lua]# ~m.state_name
<string[]: 0x177ce2e8>
Solid                    = frozen fetid filth
Liquid                   = fetid filth
Gas                      = boiling fetid filth
Powder                   = frozen fetid filth
Paste                    = frozen fetid filth
Pressed                  = frozen fetid filth
[lua]# ~m.heat
<material_common.T_heat: 0x177ce2b4>
spec_heat                = 4181
heatdam_point            = 60001
colddam_point            = 60001
ignite_point             = 60001
melting_point            = 60001
boiling_point            = 60001
mat_fixed_temp           = 10000
It seems this material has no melting or boiling points, so how does DF know which state_name to use?

It has fixed temperature, so.. um.. temperature/state is always the same.

[Dirst]

nvm... what Putnam said.

[Putnam]

And it only appears in the form of rain, probably, or maybe a LIQUID_GLOB or UNDIRECTED_VAPOR or TRAILING_VAPOR_FLOW.

[Gorobay]

It has fixed temperature, so.. um.. temperature/state is always the same.

Clearly. But which state is it always in?

I know that this example is an evil rain and will always be a liquid, but I want a script to determine this automatically for any material.

Ah, sure.. well, if it doesn't have melting point, then, I'd say it doesn't melt, so it's solid.

How did you get that information?

[lethosor]

From the lua interpreter:

Code: [Select]

[lua]# m=df.inorganic_raw.find(300).material
[lua]# ~m.state_name
<string[]: 0x177ce2e8>
Solid                    = frozen fetid filth
Liquid                   = fetid filth
Gas                      = boiling fetid filth
Powder                   = frozen fetid filth
Paste                    = frozen fetid filth
Pressed                  = frozen fetid filth
[lua]# ~m.heat
<material_common.T_heat: 0x177ce2b4>
spec_heat                = 4181
heatdam_point            = 60001
colddam_point            = 60001
ignite_point             = 60001
melting_point            = 60001
boiling_point            = 60001
mat_fixed_temp           = 10000


I assume 60001 corresponds to no melting/boiling point.

[Gorobay]

I assume 60001 corresponds to no melting/boiling point.

That is what it means, according to the wiki.

For now, I have decided to use a text-based heuristic which should work until Toady changes the generated material name format.

Whenever I try to launch Dwarf Fortress with DFHack I just get the regular menu and no command line. Did I install it incorrectly?

[lethosor]

Maybe. What OS are you using?

[Dirst]

Since I can't target a regional interaction from a creature, is there a way from DFHack to (1) know if it's raining and (2) make it rain on queue?  I already know how to make the script run at the right time, just not how to read/write the weather.

I'm fine with the rain turning out to be snow if it's cold, but if it can be either then it would make more sense for it to be actual liquid rain.

And weather.lua was right there in front of me.  Nevermind me, go about your regular business...
