Disregard this post for now, unless if you want to help me with Dwarf Companion. The real current issue is on the second post.

So.. In a vain attempt to cheat on my creative writing essay I have due for English in a couple of days, I was going to backup a siege save, use DC battle logs to get rough descriptions, and then buffer it into an essay. But! I have it all installed properly, and yet when I run the dwarfcompanionprototype or whatever file, it flashes as a black box for maybe 30 seconds before closing. The guide to it on the wiki says to run it from a certain spot, which I'm doing, and it still does not work. Any help please, and if you need more descriptiveness, ask and thy shall receive.

Please help, now it's extremely urgent. I went and did my essay on some bloke falling through time, but now a dwarf is demanding impossible items for his possessed mood, and my mayor is mandating Adamantine items. I really need help with removing the mandate and the strange mood, please?

Kill them both.

Or use DC... I leave that to the more knowledge-able of this fora.

Agreed. The possessed dwarf won't become legendary even if he succeeds his mood, and if you ever have a noble that demands adamantine, ever, kill him, as he will keep demanding it. Wait until you get one that demands pig tail socks or some other easy item to make.

Killing is not an option. My people are about two screens away from several packs of wolves, that have claimed two lives already, and about a screen and a half north of a large amount of goblins near a tower, with the only thing keeping the goblins there being a river that I foolishly bridged in order to get to the only wood on the map. At this point, every living dwarf is uber valuable. I'd prefer to just save them both and mod my mayors personality.

Personality modding is impossible, but you CAN change the items the possessed wants with Dwarf Companion.
I believe Valdemar made an EXE for the most recent version of it already.

Could you help me through it then? I have all of my files installed properly, followed the wiki on it to the letter, and yet when I run it all that showes up is a black box, like command prompt, that closes automatically after about 5 seconds.

Edit: Also, the wiki has that mod for creating adamantine wafers for free, that I could use that whenever I get adamantium mandates. Then just chasm the adamantium so that I won't be tempted to cheat my militiary.

You could also try playing the game without cheating, you know. 

Anyway, you could just ignore the mandates from the noble. They won't do anything if you can keep them happy enough.

Why don't use Dtil tile editor and make an Adamantine Rock Tile?
Oh, he-need-that-cheating don't count to the overall $$CHEATER$$ value.

How can this be a hard question? THROW THEM TO THE WOLVES.

NO, TO THE MAGMA GOD

NO, TO THE MAGMA GOD

NO, BLOOD FOR ARMOK, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

To quote the Great Toady: "Losing is FUN!"

Besides, have you ever tried reclaiming a fortress?  You get tons of dwarfs, weapons, armor, and more equipment!  Ok, the skills they bring aren't that great, but it's still alot of fun!

Furthermore, Toady is currently working on an uber-upgrade that will make your save incompatable, so you'll probably want to give up on this fortress in a few weeks anyways.  (Trust me, from what I've read about the upgrade, it will be worth blowing off all your work on the current fortresses, it's gonna rock!)

Thanks to whoever suggested Dtil. Apparently my possesed dwarf wanted obsidian to finish his steel spear, encircled with bands of obsidian, encircled with bands of red spinel, and bearing an image of a goblin bowing to dwarves. Worth 24,000 dwarfbux. My mayor got his adamantine mandate fulfilled, and the cheated metal was then promptly chasmed.
