I'm not at all sure if this would be the right place to ask, but let's try here.

I'm thinking of attempting to write a script for DFHack, but I don't understand at all how the whole process goes. I've heard stuff about some onLoad.init, and I know the scripts themselves are written in LUA. Is there any guide on how to get started writing DFHack scripts or something out there? If not; how would I go about making a specific script run whenever an artifact is created? If I can just get help getting the script to run when it's intended to, I think I could figure most of the rest out by simply looking at older scripts, along with some googling about LUA.

If this should have been posted in the DFHack thread instead, please let me know and I will post there in the future.

What does the [POWER] tag do?

A historical creature with the tag (at least one without entity memberships) is able to fool deity-worshiping civs that it is one of the gods (sharing at least one sphere with the creature) being worshiped, much like unique demons used to be. These creatures then take up leadership positions of that civ.

Yeah should be in the DFHack threads.
I guess a good starting point would be to read much of the DFhack thread, stuff like
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123817.470   in there.

DFHack's readme says
"Lua or ruby scripts placed in the hack/scripts/ directory are considered for execution as if they were native DFHack commands. They are listed at the end of the 'ls' command output."

One new bit for the 0.40 versions is that scripts in raw/scripts/ are also in the path (and I believe earlier than hack/scripts), so mods can include scripts easily and those scripts move around with the saved game.

Damn, completely immortal creatures are impossible now due to the possibility of the upper body being pulped.

[StagnantSoul]

Make them out of stone. Voila! Immortal.

On interaction tokens . . .

IVe gotten it to work when I use it, but Im unsure if the ai will. . .
I'm unsure how the new ai handles actions, like targeting friendlies for CDIs.  Will an invading creature in dwarf mode target a friendly creature to 'clean' if given clean other?

And is there a better way to get them to use 'support magic'?

I can't get any of the custom secrets from Genesis to show up in worldgen. They work just fine in the arena, but not in worldgen.

Does an armor piece's ubstep/lbstep/upstep affect weight?

Also,

Spoiler: previous questions still stand (click to show/hide)

Done with the creatures and variations. So, 0.40 also affects these areas:
-Gems and layer stones now have more real-world density values
-Material templates have some new added (tears, sweat, saliva)
-Non-smelter reactions ('other') have the de-hardcoded brewing and process-plant-into-bag reactions (and fruit)
-Weapons (and weapon-related items) now have prepare and multiattack tags

I don't need to do anything with:
-Other inorganics
-Tissue templates
-Body detail plans
-Smelter reactions

Is there anything else?

[SKILL:SOAP_MAKING]Can anyone help me answering why does this reaction produce 100s of candles?

Edit: [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT] after both reagents seem to do the trick.

Globs are measured like bars now. Try REAGENT:tallow:150:GLOB instead.

Is there a way to call wood blocks "planks"?

Go into the material template file, find the wood template, and give it [BLOCK_NAME:plank:planks]

Is it still possible to make a civ die off early by giving it only 1 breeding couple at the start? Or is that tag removed?

It doesn't spit out an error but also doesn't respect it.
