Anyone know of a third party program to log conversations/thougts in Dwarf Mode?
« on: July 16, 2020, 01:04:03 am »
I saw a reddit thread a long time ago of someone posting some funny logs of their dwarves' thoughts ("I ate in a dining room. How blissful I am!", that sort of stuff), as well as them talking to each other (megabytes worth of "It was inevitable.", and some religious weirdos telling their friends to consider suicide). It was pretty interesting, but I've been googling for over half an hour and found no clue about what was used to generate all those logs, and I can't find the reddit post either.

There was this thread recently, about the setting that causes this information to be entered into the gamelog.txt (that the Announcement Window program uses). You'll need to turn that setting on to see any of this information.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

I added D:D to the [REGULAR_CONVERSATION] tag and am using Announcement Window+.
It works, it's pretty fun to see they talking to each other, but the program I'm looking for logs specifically every single thought they have, IIRC,
in addition to the conversations. Whatever it was, it's probably outdated by now if it accessed the memory directly, and if it reads the gamelog
it wouldn't be much different from the setup I have now, so whatever I guess. Thanks for the replies anyway.

This util?

That seems like a more polished version of the announcement logger I'm using right now, I'll check it out.

I don't think it's the one I was specifically looking for, though.
