Is there a way to set the "Light" attribute of a tile? I'm thinking about making lamps.

You can do this with a script, not sure if it's possible by creating building or something. For lua you can alter map tile block (which you can get with tileblock=dfhack.maps.getTileBlock(pos)). Tile block is 16 by 16 square of tiles and tileblock.designation contains information about light, outside and subterranean parameters for all tiles in the block.


edit: just remembered that you can get designation flags with dfhhack.maps.getTileFlags(pos).

To clarify, there is no way to arbitrarily set the "Light" attribute of a tile via modding - you must use a utility (3rd-party application) in order to modify the game's memory.

Hmm. That's discouraging, but thanks!
