Quick DFHack questions
« on: June 07, 2015, 01:17:29 pm »

K, I know computers a bit, but am new to the whole /plug-in and /script thing for DF. Is there a simple "How to" to walk me thru it the first time, how to add the diff scripts etc.?  All I know about a .lua is that it's a Hawaiian feast. :(

(I can load the vanilla version via init.example - just not sure where to go beyond that, nor how.)


Also - as I understand it, there's a plug-in(?) that allows more control thru workshops, to specify the material you want to use - specifying a material for color for levers, or a dwarf's preferred material for furniture, rather than just "whatever's closest - or so" and hoping stockpile manipulation does what you want it to.

tia!~
