There isn't really anything like that at all, nor can there be, unless setting the clock forwards with DFHack actually runs the world generation.

Now that the [LIKES_FIGHTING] tag has been removed, how do I make a creature that attacks anything that doesn't have the [AT_PEACE_WITH_NATURE] tag?

My first guess would be [LARGE_PREDATOR] which like to attack creatures smaller than itself.

Why does this interaction have a habit of targeting the caster?

It may be because you have TOUCHABLE in the usage hint. Touchable only works for TARGET_RANGE.

Still won't work. In fact, now it doesn't work at all, period. Let me show you the new RAWs.

I just found a completely empty dark fortress full of doors connected to levers. And now I can't find my way back up. Is this supposed to happen or am I missing something?

[StagnantSoul]

That's a vault. Pull some levers and find treasure.

Have I mentioned how good the wiki is? I'm going to name off a couple problems (one I furthered, sorry ) and then I'm going to post a revised code I saw work in the arena.

• CAN_DO_INTERACTION:WERECURSE_MALE is what the first line should read if following my previous advice (then the CDI:INTERACTION line should be gone too)
• IT_REQUIRES is for I_TARGET in the actual interaction definition. If it has those under the I_TARGET it won't be able to target not I_TARGETable creatures anyway (adventurer exception if interaction has IT_MANUAL_INPUT, still won't work if doesn't match I_TARGET)
• Turns out TOUCHABLE is for TARGET and as such replaces LINE_OF_SIGHT, to my shame

Yeah...still defective.

EDIT:Realized the problem, apparently I made it so the USER gets the message intended for the target, my mistake.

[20firebird]

I want to make a bird lay gems. How would I go about this?

[WillowLuman]

There isn't really anything like that at all, nor can there be, unless setting the clock forwards with DFHack actually runs the world generation.

If you run a small fort, possibly hacking for a single immortal dwarf to reduce lag, you can use dfHack to set the framerate really high and leave the game idle. Previously, one could pass years relatively quickly by repeatedly abandoning and reclaiming, but nowadays that only advances the game by 2 weeks a pop, so you're better off with the idle thing.

[Rumrusher]

There isn't really anything like that at all, nor can there be, unless setting the clock forwards with DFHack actually runs the world generation.

well if you start what ever mode and use gm-editor dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen() on the calender you could set the time forward by tick and year to your hearts consent for world gen.
though it's a hellishly long wait depending on what world you have and chances are toady didn't add the old worldgen mechanics outside of the people running around stealing towns and bases so don't expect any people becoming necromancers or baby snatchings after the world has stop generating for the first time.
it's the same thing with the fort idle idea but alot more boring since your waiting for the game to simulate days.  I usually use dfhack to cut out the calender wait since I figured second world gen isn't fully in or isn't in as I wanted and could be skipped all together.

Here's my situation; I found the perfect evil beach, but the ocean is 1 level below.  Is there a way to edit the landscape immediately after embarking?  I want to add ramps all along the coastline, thus connecting ocean with land.  I know I could do this with careful mining, but it would take forever, and my miners have more important jobs.

Unless you have DFHack, there's no way.

[Immortal-D]

Edit: Figured it out, for those also looking to add ramps, the commands are as follows;

DFH; 'tile type'
Ingame; View (k) over empty space where the top (downward) ramp will be.
DFH; 'paint shape ramp_top'
Ingame; View (k) 1 z level down where the bottom (upward) ramp will be.
DFH; 'paint shape ramp'

I do indeed.  So DFH has terrain editing?

[Dirst]

Is there a way to make a creature really aggressive without using the LARGE_PREDATOR tag?  I don't want these things to crowd out (or be crowded out by) more mundane predatory animals.  The LIKES_FIGHTING tag is deprecated, and apparently it didn't actually make things aggressive anyway (just giving a happy thought for engaging in battle).
