That's right

That is right

Is DFHack absoloutlely nessecary?

Yes. Much like having one of either windows or linux. It's a system requirement.

[knight133]

can you make this an game? and not a mod.

[Rose]

Sure, go right ahead. The source is in the OP.

Although I am sad that this is kinda dead now, Japa's last few posts on this thread have made me lol heartily.

Happy to entertain. I just wish I had more free time.

How hard would it be to add the option to cut the embark site in 'x-levels' and 'y-levels' too? (So instead of taking off z-levels, you'd be able to see a cross-section of your fortress.) You could either be adding new section planes (allowing to cut off x, y and z-levels at the same time), or switch between a x, y and z-mode of the single section plane (probably being the easier option).

Hi i had a question/request

It is possible. But that would require an active Dev, which stonesense doesn't have.

[Jaylow]

aaahh... so i have a bigger chance to win the lotto then this would  ever work..
or it should be implemented in DF, and probably  i will still win the lotto quicker then
cause they have better stuff to add to the game

What's it run, C++ right? I'd help out if it were python based, but I haven't done anything in C++ in years.

[Jaylow]

i sadly dont know if its in C++ or Phyton..
but if you get this to work
you are the coolest person i ever met on the internet 

[Rose]

It's C++

I was just thinking.. one "hacky" and long-winded way of following one dwarf would be to put them in their own squad and then use something like AutoIt to repeatedly hit "z" for you. It would then follow the dwarf within Dwarf Fortress and therefore in Stonesense as well.
There are a few problems with this:

• Only one dwarf at a time
• Add a new dwarf to a squad each time to watch them
• Cannot interact with the game whilst in "follow" mode
• Always in "Squad" mode
• and more ...

 
I have no knowledge of the outside programs you can use with Dwarf Fortress as I only play vanilla, but it might be that is a way to automate at least some of the process..

Wondering if anyone here can help me with this..
I've been working on a stonesense spriteset for the MLP mod, I've made some good progress but I've hit a snag
The mod has, by default 8 castes: earth pony, pegasus, unicorn and alicorn, in both genders.
However stonesense debug only seems to indicate that these are either male (1) or female (2) regardless of what species they are.

Accoding to the wiki:

Code: [Select]

Creature Genders
Each <variant> node can be extended with a sex attribute to add an additional condition for creature gender. For most races. dwarfs included, the attribute can have one of two values, "M" for male or "F" for female. However, if the creature has more than two castes, a number must be used, starting from "1", and continuing in order that the castes are listed in the rawfile. Again a simple example would be beneficial:
adding these variants to the xml results in all males looking like variant 1 while all females look like variant 2, regarless of caste

[Greiger]

You can put a number instead of a M or F  with the number corresponding to the order they are defined in the caste list.  Or at least you used to be able to, my own little personal mod also has more than 2 castes and thats the way I used to handle it before I switched over to a more sensible method.

For example...

Code: [Select]

    <variant prof="SUTURER" sex="2" sheetIndex="72"
    file="Dracon.png" />
    <variant prof="SURGEON" sex="1" sheetIndex="73"
    file="Dracon.png" />
    <variant prof="SURGEON" sex="2" sheetIndex="72"
    file="Dracon.png" />
    <variant prof="CHILD" sex="4" sheetIndex="44"
    file="DraconBlue.png" />
    <variant prof="CHILD" sex="3" sheetIndex="44"
    file="DraconBlue.png" />
Where 1 and 2 are the male and female castes for one type, while 3 and 4 are the female and male caste of another type. and that continues like that in my files up to 10.

Of course I can't guarantee that still works, there had to be some reason I moved to another method, but that used to be how it was done.
