Legends Mode Enhanced Filtering
« on: July 11, 2014, 07:46:56 am »

One thing that has always bugged me in Legends Mode is that you can't filter by things like race or position of historical entities (to quickly find all the gods or vampires or kings/etc.)

Not only this, but you can't even filter things by their translated names!

I'm personally finding it hard to find the legends I want to read up on in the worlds I've genned, and as DF becomes more and more complex this will start to become a problem, so is there any way to add new filtering options to the mode?

Indeed, I do this.

Eh, I'd just wait for LegendsViewer to properly update, since it does all that and more.

I don't see the vanilla version getting a massive overhaul in legends mode anytime soon, personally.

Yes you can.
