Dirst, this seems to work very well on first inspection. I've only managed to test on the mac so far, because I don't have DFHack for my Linux install yet. But I was able to bookmark my wagon and successfully explore a bit, and zoom back to the bookmark again.

Thanks for writing these scripts. If I run into anything weird I'll let you know. For the record, I figured "raw," meant "the dfHack installation directory."

[Dirst]

That works, too.  The "scripts" subfolder under "raw" is supposed to be for mod-specific scripts, and gets copied to your save folder.  It is earlier in the search path than the main DFHack scripts folder, but other than that it doesn't really make a difference.

I did get some pointers on reading the map size, so hopefully a new version won't require that calibration step.

.... I think the previous 4 posts were in english.
I think....

Thats about all i got from reading that.

[Dirst]

There were some English words in there.

S'just Lua, guys, it's not Cthulhu.

(Note:I do not actually know Lua, I may be wrong about its eldritchness.)

[Dirst]

Here is some more of that CthuLua stuff.  This version dispenses with the calibration step thanks to lethosor's help.  It also reports the Z level as it shows on the screen instead of the internal offset, and now does sanity checks on your goto coordinates.

Unfortunately, fixing the Z broke compatibility with bookmarks from the previous version.  Hopefully those were only used in test forts.

Since this really isn't the appropriate place to be sending potentially Eldritch code back and forth, I started this thread in the Modding area.

zkline - great respect for you! Seriosly. I have little post-suggestion for future experiments - to use desktop for blind(i forget it's name, you said that it's has not enough sympols previosly in this topic) + sound note. Like touching-code for liter(abcd...) and sounds for color and Upper or normal symbols.
But i'm really glad to see that this long research been crowned with success!
And other suggestion - you can try to create something like community game, probadly with youtube translation... and a lot of other beards help you in situation, that now you can't solve. As for me, i'm really intresed to see somethink like this!

[Dirst]

Hi zkline and anyone else not terrified by that earlier Lua script stuff, I got version 1.02 to now give a very brief description of the tile when you type whereami in the DFHack console.  For example,

whereami
Cursor: 73 74 148, SOIL WALL

Obviously there is a lot more information available, but I wanted to keep the responses very short.  The idea is to detect when the ground level changes, not to re-create the game's look or DFHack's probe.

[zkline]

Thanks for this, Dirst.

Sadly, I lost access to my Linux system, and thus, relatively pleasant text-mode DF. Thanks, Windows 10 for overriding boot entries without permission. :/ I haven't had the patience to repair things yet.

I would love to be able to play without need for text mode, however. Has their been any luck with logging?

[lethosor]

Here's the script I have so far: https://github.com/lethosor/dfhack-scripts/blob/master/acclog.lua
A more easily-downloadable ("raw") version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lethosor/dfhack-scripts/master/acclog.lua

I couldn't come up with a great name for it, and I really haven't had a lot of time to work on it, being busy with other DFHack maintenance stuff. Right now it just logs the selected items in the title, options, and load game menus, although I've been putting in extra work to make adding new things easier.

Anyway, let me know if the logging works and is usable (it writes to acclog.txt in the DF folder), and if it's too verbose/terse/whatever. I'll probably make the messages customizable at some point, but they're not at the moment.

[zkline]

Hey, All,

Just wanted to pop back in here to say I finally restored Linux access again. So DF is once again maybe sort of playable.

I'm tempted to focus on adventure mode this time around, if only because I have been craving somethings super sandboxy of late. There are some problems with it too, of course, but less so than fortress-building.

I'll continue to poke at different screen readers, in hopes I can get one which reads the characters properly. That would be an excellent start.

[Dirst]

So DF is once again maybe sort of playable.

"DF" and "playable" in the same sentence?  I think you misunderstand this game

Welcome back!
