[DizzyCrash]

got it to work.

[thefriendlyhacker]

When i type in gui/create-item nothing happens... also I used createitem CHEESE CREATURE_MAT:COW:CHEESE 200 that you just posted and nothing happened.. it just said no unit selected

You need to select a unit using (k), (v) or the (u)nits screen.  Press v, move the cursor over one of your units, and run createitem with the same arguments again.

EDIT: derp, that's what I get for not previewing and checking for more posts before replying.  Ignore this.

Except you don't need to do that for createitem since at least a year or two ago, which is why I asked what the DFHack version was. If it's not really old, there's a bug that needs to be fixed. So what version are you using?

I'd also like to know if gui/create-item worked or not.

Is it possible to delete objects with DF hack?

[PatrikLundell]

Is it possible to delete objects with DF hack?

Yes. Autodump can do that, for instance (man autodump to get a description of the command).

[lethosor]

"help autodump" is the same and might be easier to remember.

We also have documentation at https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/. Autodump can be found at https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/Plugins.html#autodump (or by searching).

Can somebody post the whole command string for both autodump destroy and clean map

[DizzyCrash]

I dont know how this is suppose to work

[lethosor]

It's literally what you posted. "clean map" and "autodump destroy" work fine for me. For autodump, you need to mark items for dumping in-game, like the link I posted says: https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/Plugins.html#autodump

Is that still unclear? If so, what exactly is the problem? "I don't know" or "it doesn't work" aren't enough for us to help you much more than that. At least console output or a screenshot of DF+DFHack would help if you can't describe what's happening.

Another question.. Can you use DF hack to delete dwarves?

Alright it said 34 items marked for destroy but i dont know how to finish it, the items are still there.

[DizzyCrash]

Oh wait, they are gone now

[lethosor]

You can use "exterminate" to kill dwarves. "exterminate it" kills the currently-selected unit. More: https://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/_auto/base.html?highlight=exterminate#exterminate
This does leave a corpse behind. You could use autodump to get rid of that if you want.

I guess the autodump documentation could be improved some. Any takers?

The reason items don't disappear immediately when you destroy them is that the command marks them for destruction, but they're not actually removed until DF resumes. This, in turn, is because you can't just disintegrate items, but have to clean them out properly so ownership, container contents/holder, etc. are removed without leaving references to objects that just vanished.
The same goes for eliminating creatures: owned items have to be dealt with, nobility inheritance has to be taken care of, pet/spouse/... loss depression processed, etc.

Can you exile dwarves?

And the reason you have to unpause is because DFHack doesn't actually know how to do all of that cleanup, so it just sets a special flag and tells Dwarf Fortress itself to do that cleanup, and that only happens when the game is unpaused (once every 100 frames, if I recall correctly).

Why do you want to do that?
