I haven't posted in a couple days. This is because I was sorting my bandit loot. I am finally finished. After THREE REAL LIFE DAYS, the loot is sorted into piles. Now all I have to do is pack the sorted loot back into bags and boxes so I can haul it off when needed. That shouldn't take nearly as long as sorting.

Now, I haven't done more than a rough estimate, but I'm pretty sure I have enough money and goods to reduce the global economy down to bartering services for food. Imagine what would happen if someone were to obtain ten times as much money as everyone in the world combined?

Got attacked by a cave dragon while chopping trees for my new volcano base. He didn't hit me (just dodged into the volcano, but it look like I have to wait for him to die from the lava before I can do anything, or else he will magically teleport out.

EDIT: Fell into the volcano and died. But some weirdness is happening (used DFHack to flag my adventurer as not dead, the saved the game). I now am flicking in between historic figures whenever I fast travel. I was first a troglodyte, but now I'm a cyclops, having fast traveled to a lair.

EDIT2: Now I'm an eagle. - At the lair of the troglodyte I was first.

EDIT3: Fast traveling away makes me a crab, on the far corner of the map. Where it is deathly cold. - But still the ocean melts, and then freezes. I am encased in ice.

EDIT4: I am now a crab. Encased in ice, but alive, even with no body parts.

EDIT5: After many transformations later, I am now a demon. This is going to be really interesting.

EDIT4: I am now a crab. Encased in ice, but alive, even with no body parts.

I have no mouth and I must scream.
Also this reminds me of an old bug way back where sleeping on a glacier randomly would transform you into animals

If you're using dfhack, save a backup copy of the hack/scripts/gui/gm-editor.lua file in case the behavior here annoys you later, then put this in it's place and open your status screen then run gm-editor, it'll pull up your nemesis entry (from which you can open unit like it usually did, AND the histfig entry) which has flags at the bottom, set active_adventurer and adventurer to true to stop bodyhopping, then save. After you reload do a wait for like four hours and the instant the travel screen loads run gm-editor, it'll give you a screen with an x/y/z, they'll probably be like x 1 y 1 z 1, set z to 0 and set the x and y to like 800/800 and it'll get  you down about 17 world map tiles from the left corner.

-- Interface powered item editor.

--[====[

gui/gm-editor
=============
This editor allows to change and modify almost anything in df. Press :kbd:`?` for
in-game help. There are three ways to open this editor:

* Callling ``gui/gm-editor``  from a command or keybinding opens the editor
  on whatever is selected or viewed (e.g. unit/item description screen)

* using gui/gm-editor <lua command> - executes lua command and opens editor on
  its results (e.g. ``gui/gm-editor "df.global.world.items.all"`` shows all items)

* using gui/gm-editor dialog - shows an in game dialog to input lua command. Works
  the same as version above.

* using ``gui/gm-editor toggle`` - will hide (if shown) and show (if hidden) editor at
  the same position you left it

Perhaps odd to say, but an Adventure Mode run where your character has immediate access to a library and masterful works, is where that sort of thing is taken for granted. Anything that comes easy is never really valued. Num Muddyboots, as mentioned before, heads west, but now with direction to fortress Lettersnarling. He's never read anything good, but he hopes to.

Via slow travel mode, Num makes the journey through The Jungles of Assaulting toward a main road that will lead to fortress Lettersnarling. Things are looking better and better as he finally finds spinach leaves in the wild.

He collects about 40 leaves and turns them into a stack. Even though there is no skill attached to the stacking reaction, it still somehow qualifies for the do something creative/craft object needs.

On the main road Num spies a group of wild boar. He's never stayed at an inn/tavern before and figures he can trade the fruits of his profession for drink and a room.

The -plum bow- finally makes a name for itself.

Travel by night is pretty scenic.

I've got bogeymen off in this world. Once you know how to plan around them (travel via coast/mountain chain) and avoid until you can safely dispatch them (shield/dodger > lvl 10), having them around really doesn't enrich the Adventure Mode experience, particularly since after the first group you kill, all the others are an exercise in tedium.

Being able to sleep outside a mound or a house not only circumvents the need to ask for permission to stay the night, but also seems to give (my Adventure Mode runs at least) this weird "Sancho Panza as dwarf without the supervision of a Don Quixote" quality. You feel free and easy.

found having a shield and a open hand works best for when you need to snap a neck and not worry about the repercussions of failing to attack
so in messing with arena news, I finally went and played around with the fact you can plant trees and use those trees to create floors in that weird void room if you dfhack cut them down. and the process seems to make a hole in the void area.

that all said saving these arenas are very very unstable some times you get it some times you don't others you just wont load if you select it.
but some day someone will figure out how to expand the world and or load up site worlds with dfhack.

I already expanded it, build up high enough to reach the ledge at the southern edge, build a camp there, keep building and you move that way.

oh I got access to dfhack so I could just mode set adv fast travel around the small map. but will test this for later.

I'm guessing when you say "expand the world" you mean this one right?

Looks like it's 0/0 to 47/47, so just the one world map tile. None of the things I tried to do to push the edges back further worked, so bleh.

[Rumrusher]

so adventurer set a weird multi limb lumbering infected named ruindessert who can bite 5 times and grab 60 times on one arm. just realized now that my bites were infecting folks, so operation infect leaders and build army is going nicely.

but the real reason i'm posting this is that I just bowled a newborn baby into their mother.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hoping I didnt pitch the kid too hard, I'm trying to keep the mother alive long enough to see them turn into a zombie.
the whole thing was done with dfhack and a salvaged old dfusion script known as empregnate and a modified rose script of launch made so that it either flings the player or who ever the player is currently in combat with.

probably my next action is see if this didn't kill either kid or the desert devil mother, say sorry(cant some how undead cant talk), then run out of there... maybe set the mother and or the child if they live as an adventurer so they could track down ruindessert and kill it.

edit: yup she turn into an infected, yeah she mad and hunting this character down.

Rismal got his demon waifu, but he also found a functional underworld spire. He went down fighting - he finally died when a demon made him dodge into a bottomless pit, his waifu having been already killed. RIP

[Max™]

Uh, launch normally has the you/your hunt target thing because you showed me and I went "oh god, this is horrible and I love it" so that's the one I pushed upstream.

[StagnantSoul]

Wow, apparently I'm not supposed to play adventure mode today... Three adventurers in a row, two human one dwarf, all died only a single day in their journey, all to night creatures running about town.

There's no library here, but there's the rest of the fortress to see, so Num Muddyboots walks the downward ramp.

At Lettersnarling's cavern level one entrance there's a world gen incident involving a dead giant cave toad and two dwarves, the engraver Sakzul Mindefriendly and a fish cleaner. Num decides to have a closer look, but by then the fish cleaner has drowned. It's the first sentient death he's witnessed.

Num walks down to warehouse level, mills about for a bit, then heads back to the tavern and surface level. He chooses to go via fast travel to cavern level one which causes the game to offload the cave toad incident and reconstitute just the toad foot and dwarf hand left behind, along with the fish cleaner's copper carving knife.

Sakzul isn't at tavern/depot/warehouse level, so Num descends to the sublevels and finds her crawling on the ground.

In true DF fashion, Sakzul is shaken to the core, but is quite pleased about improving her swimming. She hasn't reached the "doesn't care about anything anymore" mind-state; the fish cleaner's death has filled her with horror. It's a good thing Num worked through that terrain with those 24 non-sentients to reach "doesn't care about anything anymore." It kills the great horror response, but he's gotten his first taste of great fear—as much as an insensible blockhead can experience such a thing.

Gotta be in travel mode where you have an army position (take a step or go into the wait screen) and the quest log, otherwise it don't do anything atm, but behold!

Code: (questport.lua) [Select]

local qmap=dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen()
local qx=qmap.cursor_x*48
local qy=qmap.cursor_y*48
local rx=qmap.player_region_x*48
local ry=qmap.player_region_y*48
  local qarm=df.global.world.armies.all
for k,v in ipairs(qarm) do
if v.flags[0] then
local my_arm=df.global.world.armies.all[k].pos
if rx~=qx then do
my_arm.x=qx
my_arm.y=qy
qmap.player_region_x=qmap.cursor_x
qmap.player_region_y=qmap.cursor_y
end
end
end
end

well now, good time to see if it possible to update the waypoint script.

[Max™]

Yup, also I was testing two things just now, I bragged to someone that I knew how to make Guts properly, metal arm and all, but didn't get it right when they tested it, the arm wasn't showing up so all they could do was shoot fireballs with it, still fun, but not what I wanted.

So I figured out what I did wrong, got it working partially and thought of a way to test it by grabbing a burning corpse, which showed me that amusing fact that I had flesh and bone fingers on a metal upper/lower arm and hand!

Fixed that (first I pulled the left arm out of the humanoid_guts copy of humanoid_neck, then I copied the fingers with con:rh into that body plan, with the guts_arm plan having fingers attaching to con:lh) and went back to test while also working on my KSBD swordmasters, since they've got four "maybe sword" appendages used for the whole flurry of blades type of cinematic effect it's convenient being able to make them out of metals.

Did I mention they're 1:1 prepare/recover with independent multiattack?

Yeah, remember my party trick of smacking someone into the air and cutting their head off?


With these things you can cut off a limb and hit it several times in mid-air before it flies away which really should end up mid-air butchering it, honestly, but is still a surprising discovery.

But yeah, my poor test subject, she's standing there naked and crying, looking at this strange naked woman with a metal arm walking towards her, there's a sudden rush of air and blurred movement between them, then her arm is getting batted around in the air before being picked up and set on fire, and as the horror starts to set in, this metal armed woman starts to bludgeon her with her own burning arm while also crying and bleeding from the parts of her body that don't happen to be fireproof, before the two of them are wreathed in clouds of boiling sweat and blood and tears.

Modding is a weird and dangerous drug.

Still, before I bled out I was able to confirm that it worked, partial cyborg and Berserk-type vaguely-steampunkish mods ahoy!
