I'm trying to put some work into my adoption script (to assign dwarves arbitrary pets) but I have little to no experience with DFHack or the inner workings of Dwarf Fortress' memory. Could someone give me some tips on, or point in the direction of, how to handle unit relationships and historical figures in DFHack? Specifically, I'm trying to figure out what actually happens to a dwarf and an animal when one of them becomes a pet of the other.

Thanks in advance!

How add to food "toggle brew" in z-kitchen?

I posted this in the dfhack thread, but I figured I would post here too for visibility:

This command isn't working for me:

Code: [Select]

dfhack.run_command("modtools/force -eventType NightCreature")
The script is running (as the print command works), but nothing is happening for that line.

I am trying to get a random werecreature to spawn in fortress mode. Am I missing something in that code?

This command isn't working for me:
dfhack.run_command("modtools/force -eventType NightCreature")

should the NightCreature word be in quotes?
"modtools/force -eventType \"NightCreature\"  " or such

Is it possible to make an ammo that's basically a glass bottle? That is, when it's launched and hits something, it shatters and whatever was inside is released? Also is it possible for Arrows/Bolts/Blowdarts to get stuck in a creatures body? I've never really seen it and i'm trying to make since of the "Stuck In" Item Syndrome Reborn syndrome class.

The former, not really since you cant add a "can store items" thing for ammo.

Ranged ammo definitely does get stuck into wounds on occasion though.

Then I can still do what i'd like then. It just wouldn't be thrown glass bottles and the like, but instead poisoned arrows/bolts/bullets/etc. Or maybe I could still do glass battles and possibly change the flavor text from "Lodged firmly in the wound" to "coats them in the fluid."

You could use DFhack's projectile-trigger to spawn a cloud of syndrome gas when the glass bottle hits something.

Introducing the Anarchy mod! Now with rioting dwarves throwing tantrums and molotovs in their struggle against the nobles and their unfair mandates.

This is probably an embarrassingly basic question, but in order to make a clothing item not be equipped outside of uniforms and to no longer suffer wear, I need to change its layer to armor? Or is there something else? Armor_level probably?

[Ulfarr]

It's armor level 

[assimilateur]

It's armor level 

What about [LAYER:ARMOR] then?

[Rumrusher]

hmm kinda got myself thinking about how the Animal token stuff work when you get migrants and realize DF doesn't give historical figures to animals which explains a bit with how the game optimizes things in fort mode. though I Was wondering if giving these animal token folks a historical figure would Fix the lack of labors?
my tests mostly prove that assigning a historical Id of someone already existing will fix the labor stuff but I haven't poke around to enlisting them into a military and have them hunt down something.

[Ulfarr]

What about [LAYER:ARMOR] then?

That defines the order that a creature will try to put said item in relation to the rest of their equipment.

In theory a tunic (layer: under) will be put on first, a mail shirt (layer: over) will be put on over the tunic, a breastplate (layer: armor) will be put over the mail shirt and finally a cloak (layer: cover) will be put on over the breastplate.

[assimilateur]

Gotcha, I'll leave layers as is then and add armorlevel to a couple of items. I'm trying to streamline armor so I don't have these constant issues where they don't equip everything due to civilians claiming stuff before them and/or being a little retarded.

Oh that's a really good idea. I'll start reading up on that, thanks for the suggestion!

Can I make creatures drop two or more items on death? Using [ITEM_CORPSE]?

Is there a way to increase the population limit for dogs?
