Hi there, so I recently got into dwarf fortress and am quite enjoying it, however one of my dwarf is in a strange mood and wants red tourmaline that I can't find. I tried creating it using createitem in dfhack (and also changeitem), but when I type in <INORGANIC: RED TOURMALINE> (I've tried with and without the angled brackets, with a space in between red and tourmaline and without, with an underscore instead, with the INORGANIC: and without, none of them work for me) it doesn't work.

 The exact code I was trying is 'createitem ROUGH INORGANIC: RED TOURMALINE 5' , which simply returns the 'help' text for createitem. If I try without the space, with an underscore, or any other permutation I simply get an error. I HAVE been able to create other things such as amethyst, various metals, etc. It seems to be the 'RED' that is causing the issue... is there any way around this?

EDIT: The game is the LNP version .40.24-r5

I'd use gui/create-item intead.

EDIT: Which was called gui/hack-wish back then.

Try: 'createitem ROUGH INORGANIC "RED TOURMALINE" 5'

Thanks for the help Putnam The Gui/hack-wish worked perfectly

Unfortunately Milo that doesn't work for me either. Thanks though

Try: 'createitem ROUGH INORGANIC "RED TOURMALINE" 5'

I think it should've been:

Code: [Select]

createitem ROUGH "INORGANIC:RED TOURMALINE" 5
