Or you end up with that cotton candy map that crashes after consuming too much memory

Latest dfhack since commit "Linux 31.22 - 31.25 finished. Needs more testing, but should be good." from git compiled for linux in a 64 bit environment seems to work perfectly against 0.31.25 in linux now - prospector, clean, reveal, vdig etc are all fine! Brilliant work and much appreciated.

Ok, tagged a new release. This one should fix problems people were having with Runesmith when it gets rebuilt, adds all the missing offsets for 31.22-31.25 on linux and adds an engravings module. I can see some kind of engraving manipulation tool in the future

As always, enjoy

You have no idea how cool engraving manipulation would be, especially for me. Aside from the obvious:

For someone who uses memory palaces to memorize complex things, having a living memory palace with inhabitants would be mind blowingly awesome. This feature combined with your recent range feature for obsidian spawning would make you a god higher level deity in my mind.

Wow. That's new to me There's a problem though - the level of manipulation is quite limited. I don't think it would be quite enough to store arbitrary information - not yet anyway. You might be better off using just plain DF notes. For those, hit N and place a note. You can give them colors, a symbol and a piece of text. I guess this isn't quite enough, because to see the notes, you must be in the 'note placing mode'...

Anyway, here's roughly what is known about engravings now:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

    struct t_engraving
    {
        //0
        int32_t artistIdx; /*!< Index of the artist in some global vector */
        // 4
        int32_t unknownIdx; // likes to stay -1
        // 8
        uint32_t unknown1; // likes to stay 1
        // C
        uint16_t x; /*!< X coordinate */
        uint16_t y; /*!< Y coordinate */
        // 10
        uint16_t z; /*!< Z coordinate */
        uint16_t padding;
        // 14
        flg_engraving flags; // 0x20 = hide symbol, rest determines from which direction was the engraving done
        // 18
        uint8_t display_character; // what shows up on the wall/floor
        uint8_t padding2[3];
        // 1C
        uint32_t type; // possibly an enum, decides what vectors to use for imagery
        // 20
        int16_t subtype_idx; // index in a vector kind of deal related to previous value
        uint16_t quality; // from 0 to 5
        // 24
        uint32_t unknown2;// seems to change between reloads. random?
        // 28 = length
    };
In the game, you see the display_character on walls, quality when you're looking at it with a cursor and the imagery while you're closely inspecting the thing. The imagery part needs to be figured out still. Stonesense is using the display character, direction flags and quality to put something sensible on the walls.

Here's my hacked-in state reading code, contributed in hopes it will be added to an upcoming version. Put it in Creatures::ReadCreature and add the necessary fields and goop to read the offset:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

// states
        DfVector <uint32_t> states(p, temp + offs.state_vector_offset);
        furball.nbstates = states.size();
        if(furball.nbstates>MAX_STATES)
            furball.nbstates = MAX_STATES;
        for(uint32_t i = 0; i < furball.nbstates; i++)
        {
uint16_t state;
p->readWord(states[i], state);
            furball.state[i] = state;
        }


The state vector offset for 0.31.23 SDL (Windows) is 0x5A0, I haven't tried later versions yet.

I've figured out two states so far:
0x08 indicates an incoming migrant (with the gray 'X' flashing).
0x11 indicates a dwarf who is "On Break".

Would it be hard to develop a tool to work similar to DF liquid but instead was able to change the material properties of that tile. ie, change this Mudstone tile to (sand, clay, peat what have you) I know Df Liquids only is able to spawn and remove liquids, but just wondering if additional tinkering could make this possible.

[Jeoshua]

ZCM, would it be possible to take that Dwarf who is on break and give him a happy thought if he goes back to work?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. I haven't investigated the details of the states, beyond figuring out which states apply, but I suspect there's some sort of counter for how long the state will last. If that's the case, once a dwarf goes on break they will stay on break until it expires.

[Jeoshua]

... unless the code checks the counter and decrements it without reguard for what it was last turn, I think.

That's very hard. You'd be changing this for entire geological layers for multiple world regions/whole biome. Or you'd have to steal vein objects from somewhere else and reuse them... Or adamantine veins... those are easiest to work with, but there's only a few in each map and you'd lose them. Or hell. There's only one hell and it can't be mined out. The tiles themselves have no material of their own really, with the single exception of obsidian and hardcoded things like ice.
It might be possible to change the geological layer along with the tiletype to get materials from a different layer. Or pick a different biome as a source of geological data...

It is possible to do destructive changes like remove materials. It's also possible to reshape veins in the blocks where they belong. 'Adamantine veins' and 'hell' can be reshaped and expanded entirely and their materials can be set to anything. Again, only one material per map feature. So, it's possible to turn all slade in hell into frozen elephant blood for example, but you can't set a single tile to a material you want.

It's rather complicated ~_~

[ZCM]

How about changing the material of a construction?

[thewonderidiot]

Well, there's not currently a Write method in the Constructions module, but the material type and index are just fields in the struct describing constructions, and they're read directly, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work once a Write function is added.

EDIT: Just as a side note, this wouldn't be able to add new constructions, only modify existing ones. It would also probably be safest to not let DF become unpaused at all between the Read()s and Write()s, just in case a deconstruction occurs.

I would like to make a rather large request.

Would it be possible to make a tool which removes ownership from all items in the fort?
