Hello everyone.

Background info:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Right now embark profiles are pretty useless. You review your dwarves look at their attributes, traits and preferences. Then you assign them skills according to this. You save your embark profile.
And ... when you use it the next time. Your designated expedition-leader/trader has no social talent to speak off and duty is a word he has never heard of, your weapon smith has no creativity, is weak and likes nature, tin and blow-darts.
So you have to do it all over again and reassign the skillpoints. This pisses me off beyond measure and it has to be fixed.

Basically what I want to do is copy the dwarfs on the embark screen to a file. Later load them from this file when in the embark screen.
If I'm not mistaken what would need to be done is go through the entire data structure of the embark-dwarves and copy all their relevant attributes into a file one by one. Or is it possible to write it all at once with something like write(df.world.....embarkDwarves[1]) to dump the whole content of this unit into the file? (Note: I'm totally aware that this syntax especially .embarkDwarves[1] is not correct)

I'm a dabbler in programming. I've basic knowledge about C++, R and python. However no formal education to speak of (I had one semester 2 hours per week bioinformatics, but there you learn only so much).
That said I don't really know DF-hack and I have NO CLUE about Lua so I'm gonna need some (extensive) help with this one.

save dwarf:

Code: [Select]

local file = io.open("SavedDwarves.txt", "w")
local table
for i = 1, 1, numberEmbarkDwarves do
     table = {["Dwarf No"] = i
                 ["caste"..i] = ...EmbarkDwarves[i].unit.caste   -- will this produce the string caste1, caste2 etc or have I misunderstood this?
                 ["sex"..i]    = ...EmbarkDwarves[i].unit.sex
                 -- etc.etc.
                 }
end

file.write(table) -- somehow write the table to file
file:close()

load dwarf:

Code: [Select]

local loadfile = io.open("SavedDwarves.txt", "r")
local table
file.read() -- somehow reconstruct table from file

for i = 1, 1, numberEmbarkDwarves do
       ...EmbarkDwarves[i].unit.caste = table["caste"..i]
       ...EmbarkDwarves[i].unit.sex    = table["sex"..i]
        -- etc.etc.
end

I guess the dwarves on embark screen are held in an array of size 7 (or larger when hacked), so it would be a matter of simply looping through it to get every dwarf. What's the syntax to access it?
Also how would i write the table to a file and restore it from there, preferably in a human readable format.

[SeelenJägerTee]

It is done. Yay I'm M45ta scriptkiddy5000 !!!!!111!!einself
*clears throat*
Sorry I got a little carried away with this.

I dug into lua and it is now done.
Sort of at least.
While I wanted to be able to run this script on the embark screen and save/load all 7 dwarfs I couldn't figure out how to access them.
Now you have to select the dwarves after embark and call the script on every one of them separately.

Right now the script copies. Attributes (mental and body) and traits. It does NOT copy values, gender, preferences, body-size ...

Also I don't really get how the cultural values work. As the vector only has very few entries compared to existing values. If someone has insight into this please enlighten me.

Usage is explained by running
copyDwarf info
in the DFhack console.

copyDwarf.lua

While I wanted to be able to run this script on the embark screen and save/load all 7 dwarfs I couldn't figure out how to access them.

Pre-embark, the 7 dwarves are available in df.global.world.units.active

They're in the same table post-embark as well, but pre-embark it should be just those seven.

[SeelenJägerTee]

Ah, thanks for sharing that info.
So at embark screen it is populated only by 7 entries, that I could iterate over with ...active[0] to ...active[6]?

[Nopenope]

Pretty sure Lua iterates from 1.

It does.

Code: [Select]

theUnit.body.physical_attrs[1].value,should be Strength, because strength in DF is ...physical_attrs[0]. DF is written in C++ so it iterates from 0, however I'm using lua right now so I have to use ...physical_attrs[1] to access strength.
Well it isn't ...physical_attrs[1] in the lua script accesses AGILITY which is ...physical_attrs[0] in DFs C++.
This surprised me totally.

Also there are enums for all of this stuff. E.g. "df.physical_attribute[0]" or "df.physical_attribute.STRENGTH" (i might be wrong, can't check now...)

Also the difference of starting from 0 and 1 was chosen to have EXACTLY the same indexing in df structures as it really is in reality.

This could be done in lua with dfhack support, but it would be a pity not reusing all or at least one part of the code that already does the same thing well in dwarf therapist.

As of now dwarf therapists is able to find the dwarves that are the best match to perform optimally every task of a predetermined list of roles taking into account his skills, attributes and preferences.

So every embark party list should be coupled with the corresponding Dwarf therapist optimization adapted for the 7 dwarfs of the embark.

Then the only missing piece would be the reordering of the skills to the dwarves selected by the optimization.
