I made a utility long ago that allowed tame creatures (and intelligent) to work. This is a remake for DF 31.13

Linky:Wimbli

(yes that's elves doing all the dirty work)
Usage:

• run program with "-f" in command line to update offsets.txt to newest version. Df must be in arena or in normal game (unmoded or at least toad as first creature)(cur for 31.12)
• (s)lavery -> turn all races in "races.txt" to creatures that are able to work for you.
• (S)lavery experimental -> same as above, but few more offsets, fixes the hospitals
• (e)nalbe labours -> enables labour menu for creatures in "races.txt" (quite useless without (s)lavery)
• e(m)bark -> edits embark party to contents of "embark.txt" Need at least seven (7) creatures in list.
• (f)ind offsets -> finds offsets for current DF version. Same as commandline option.
• switch (r)ace-> set your main race (like (s)lavery but more stable and only for one race) also you need to have at least one or your fort will crumble, but migrants will be of this race
• (q)uit ->
• PROFIT!

stability:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• (r) race change-> changes data Danger: low
• (e) enable labour -> Danger: almost 0 data hack-> safe
• (s) slavery -> Danger: high/moderate*
• (S) slavery advance-> Danger: high/moderate++* (not very tested yet)
• (m) embark-> Danger:moderate/low* is used only once - quite safe

all with * make DfHack and similar fail. If you want to use embark just to start hermit 100 dwarf challenge run DF, embark, save , run DF again. This way DF will be clean and you will have embark party just like you want.

PS: after (s) option DfHack (and similar) based tools will not work as checksum will change.
Also if you change the race and wait for migration you will get that race as migrants.
PPS: looks like embark hack needs at least 7 creatures... So no hermits Try adding cats instead of dwarves.

Also it's possible to assign all the positions if you use (s) option same time as embark hack (Yes that means gremlin doctors and goblin strike squads)

NOW WITH LESS CRASHES FOR SOME REASON

Awesome!

[Max White]

The elves just got a little more useful!

[Chromasphere]

wooo hooo!  Blacklung for elves!

[Julius Clonkus]

Too bad military positions don't work. Ah well, maybe we'll get proper multi cultural fortresses and all the fun that comes with them someday. But this is an awesome tool nonetheless.

[Deon]

wooo hooo!  Blacklung for elves!

Just what I thought .

Great eerrrr evil eerrrr great minds think alike!

[darius]

um... if anyone experiences crashes (more then usually) please do tell...

[Rumrusher]

darn this isn't the one where you can s(t)eal them for labor.  darn I was hoping I get half* the stuff needed to recreate "adventurer's kin" in 31.#

_{the other is a working Dwarf companion.}

[darius]

the same... just need few more memory locations

And what is the "adventurer's kin" ?

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Yay I was wondering when you would update this have you already released Spellcraft_tray?

[Daywalkah]

I like how this is called "Friendship enhancer". In my imagination, when I use this I see a dwarf with a whip laying the beat down on an elf to get the elf to work. Great job!

[darius]

For 40d16 yes. For new version no and not sure if i will ever, just too much to find too little time (that is would do it if someone would do my uni works )

[Rumrusher]

way back in 40d I used your civ changer and Dwarf companion to test if an adventure can get pregnant and have kids. I also said I was going to rename the first kid darius, luck would have it I ended up finding out you can speed up pregnancies by changing the mother to a cat to knock them up and changing back before labor leading to a quick birth so the first adventurer child was half cat half dwarf. I started this on February got success in march. the comment in my sig was based on acathus117 response when I told him that his "daughter" died by a throat wound by a wolf the same death report he always hates when starting out in adventure mode. olon toolpalaces is still alive thankfully from the wonders of finding an old save I had.
I made a poorly written step by step guide on it in adventure mode boards.

I also found out that using cats one can make any non breed able creature pregnant this way.
so far I made a demon, and a non modded dragon have kids.

Good job!
