I continue to make progress on the Encyclopedia, although it has slowed down a bit recently, I've got sorting in by different parameters now (e.g. sort inorganic by their shear value, sort shields by their block value, etc...), pretty much any number associated with a particular raw can now be sorted by. I still need to implement complex sortings (e.g. sort by best material for edge weapon) that are based on more than one value, but that should be a fairly easy extension. I've also implemented a couple more options for hiding information, such as only viewing things that your civ knows about, as well as making any raw entry with a special character (!,$,#,*,=) in either the name or the token (e.g. [CREATURE:==THIS_CREATURE_SHOULD_BE_HIDDEN==]) be automatically hidden. This doesn't impact the vanilla raws, but several modders use such entries to make in game menus prettier. This allows those to remain, while not cluttering up the encyclopedia

Additionally I'm experimenting a little bit with generating random raws by modifying a random world D&D-like creator I wrote a while back. The random world creator makes creatures, plants, metals, spells, items, and all sorts of other stuff. The trick so far has been to write a "translation" script that takes the D&D-like information and puts it into raws. Below is a copy of two randomly generated plant. Basically the DESCRIPTION is what is generated by the random world creator, and the raws below that are what my script generates. The names still need a bit of work, as I basically used random words to generate names before.

My ultimate goal for this little side project is to be able to generate a completely random world with however many creatures, plants, etc... you want. Then, combined with the Encyclopedia you can "discover" a whole new world each time you play.

I have been working on and off on a new set of scripts that reads in a set of templates and generates an entirely random world, everything from the plants and creatures to the metals and soils. Essentially a randomized total conversion. The templates are written in json format and read in with a python script that puts them together to create objects for DF. The original purpose of these scripts was to create random D&D worlds to play through, and I've been working on getting it working with DF raws. Why? Because I thought it would be fun to start a single human adventurer in a totally unknown world, where creatures, materials, items, everything has unfamiliar names and properties and, using my Encyclopedia utility, catalogue everything and try to survive. Below is an example template for a creatures arm, just to give an idea of what the templates look like.

I'm finally at a point where everything is working as intended and generating nearly everything (some work still needs to be done on entities and their buildings), but now I need to come up with a large amount of template entries in order to get some proper good randomization.

If anyone is interested in helping out, what I would like are any custom creatures (either entire ones or just their bodies), plants, items, inorganics, materials, entities, syndromes (e.g. poisons), etc... that you are particularly proud of. I won't bother asking you to put it in a template format, just the relevant raws so that I can parse them into templates that can be randomized.

For those of you interested in the python scripts and the currently created templates you can find them in the Utilities section of my github collection, and if you are very interested and would like to learn exactly what each of the entries in a template does and make your own templates just let me know and I can put together a little ReadMe

[Roses]

The Random World Creator (RWC) continues to make progress. With the current set of templates there are about ~1 million combinations of plants that can be created and ~20 million creatures. Of course the more combinations the longer it takes to generate the random raws, which is why creatures take longer than plants which take longer than syndromes (also the shear complexity of creature contributes to the time needed to create). Below is a run with 1000 of each of the currently enabled templates. (More than 1000 inorganics are created, because some of the templates require a companion inorganic, like ores that require metals)

Code: [Select]

[Roses]

In anticipation of the new upcoming release I have put the RWC on hold and have begun a massive rewrite on my set of scripts. I will post more updates when the new release (and cooresponding DFHack) comes out, but for now if you want to look at the newest work being done, you can check out the devel branch of my github

[FantasticDorf]

Hiya, i've mainly come to ask a question regarding the wrapping script, i wouldn't particularly call it a suggestion for a plugin or command but rather just a check-up on the archaic form of yoinking to summon creatures to your desired location which has been used on numerous DFhack things in the past.

Since the new interactions for 47.xx creates brand new entities that don't rely on a nessecity to exist but only to be defined (a body required with [DOES_NOT_EXIST]) and few other perfunctory arguement rules like length of persistency of the summon & whether the unit has historical relevance, do you think wrapper would be a appropriate rubyscript tool for these kind of desired DFhack triggers?

Your 'Stone Mine' proof of concept design was very interesting. If i might add in accordance with [SKILL_ROLL_RANGE] which would allow units to use workshops such as pseudo gyms for a longer amount of time until the job is completed or suspended with extra-experience or attribute outcome. The future of the scripts shown here will be definitely PTW.

Thanks for the comments, the new stuff included with 47 definitely have me thinking about all the things I can do. I've actually started keeping a list of new features and ideas for how they can be used. The main thing to work out is how dfhack can interface with these new things. Once a relatively stable dfhack version is released I will start poking around in there and seeing what I can figure out.

I'm also updating all my scripts so that they are a little simpler. And have a more consistent layout and help information. Almost all the scripts are done, but I'm starting the systems from scratch. I've axed the class and civilization systems for now because I think they will be heavily influenced by the new stuff, but the enhanced system, which basically adds new tokens for the raws (like buildings that can only be built outside or changing the amount of time it takes to complete reactions) will be in my first release for the 47 version. I've also set it up so that it is relatively simple to add new tokens to the enhanced system, you will only need to modify a single file instead of before which needed 4 separate files to be updated!

[Roses]

First major update in some time. I have made sure that all my scripts are working on DF/Hack version 47.04. The currently available scripts and systems is a much smaller subset of my previous scripts/systems, but I am working on getting everything converted to the new setup that I am using. The first four posts contain information (or will soon contain information) on what is currently included in the package

[Roses]

Alright, so I have pushed all the updates to the devel branch of my github, and updated the first three posts for what is currently included in the repo. Now I am looking for testers, especially the Enhanced Building and Enhanced Item systems (the scripts all have built in testing, the systems have minimal testing as they are more complicated). If anyone wants to try them out feel free and let me know how they work out/if you have any questions. There are very simple examples in scripts/tests/raw_files that you can use as a basic guide.

[Roses]

Added a new token to the Enhanced Item system, you can no specify the fire rate of ranged weapons. It works by putting

Code: [Select]

{FIRE_RATE:base rate:skill increase:max rate}in the ranged items raws (currently can only be specified in the actual ranged item, not the ammo), where

base rate = number of ticks until the next shot with no weapon skill (in vanilla DF this is ~80)
skill increase = number of ticks the base rate is decreased per weapon skill (in vanilla DF this is ~2)
max rate = fastest the weapon can fire regardless of skill (in vanilla DF this is ~40)

so if you wanted a weapon that fires once every tick regardless of skill

Code: [Select]

{FIRE_RATE:1:0:1}or a weapon that is really slow to fire unless you have skill with it

Code: [Select]

{FIRE_RATE:500:50:1}
Note that this only changes the time between shots, the unit will still act between shots just like they do now. Also worth noting, firing every tick will drain ammo like mad. Since most times the game is playing at >20 frames (frame = tick) per second, it will empty a quiver quite quickly. I am planning on creating the option for one ammo item to be used multiple times (think, instead of carrying 20 "bullets" you carry 20 "clips" in your quiver) so that the ammo will last a little longer. Also I am working on implementing burst fire

Gif material right there

[Roses]

It's no gif, but it is a picture of a unit firing a crossbow at 1 bolt per tick

[Roses]

I've added two new fire modes to projectile weapons, a spread shot mode and a burst fire mode.

The spread shot mode functions like a shotgun and changes the projectile fired to multiple projectiles.

Code: [Select]

{SPREAD_SHOT:# of projectiles:spread distance:per target distance}So if you were to put

Code: [Select]

{SPREAD_SHOT:5:1:4}onto a crossbow, every time you fired a crossbow bolt, it would create 5 bolts (but only costing a single bolt) with a target offset of 1 tile for every 4 tiles away the target is from the shooter. If you set the spread distance to 0 all created projectiles will have the exact same target position.

The burst fire mode functions pretty much how you would imagine

Code: [Select]

{BURST_FIRE:# of shots}So if you were to put

Code: [Select]

{BURST_FIRE:4}onto a crossbow, the unit would fire four projectiles in four ticks, and then wait the normal fire rate delay to fire again. If you also use the FIRE_RATE command the normal delay will be replaced with the FIRE_RATE delay.

I've also begun adding short cuts to some of the other triggers, so instead of needing to provide scripts you can just use built in commands. For instance, instead of

Code: [Select]

{ON_EQUIP}
    {SCRIPT:unit/change-attribute -unit HOLDER -attribute [ STRENGTH +200 ]:50}you use

Code: [Select]

{ON_EQUIP}
    {ATTRIBUTE_CHANGE:STRENGTH:200:50}Again, these are identical, but the later is easier to read and understand in my opinion
