It's an incredibly awesome utility with huge potential, so if possibility of bugs freaks you out then get ready for sleepless nights, 'cos I reckon interest is only going to grow.

The possibility of a military of infinitely leveled dwarves is very enticing

In .06, the byte at 0090D664 controls the number of starting dwarves.  Use a debugger / cheat program / memory editor to set it to something between 7 and 255, before entering the "Prepare for the journey carefully" phase of Embark.

This is no longer true in .08. All I'm getting is Value = ??

Is there a new address for this?

[Rumrusher]

hopefully you add in the ability to change the race of creatures.

Awesome! I was just mournfully looking at Dwarf Companion, trying to figure out what all would need to be done to get it working with the new versions. Then checked on the utilities page and here's something new!

One feature I really miss; The ability to change civ flag. Is that going to come back anytime soon? I loved grabbing a goblin or two for my fort with DC.

ah yes that was what i was trying to spout out a couple of pages back. the way you changed civs was by a flag when using DC. any clues on the offset for that?

It's already in DFHack so it should be fairly simple to implement

[jaked122]

thanks for being so vigilant in swatting the bugs before they grow into monsters.

Everything ok now?

So far so good! I'm greatly enjoying the util, and I'm passing the time figuring out what the different flags do when toggled. Fun Fact: Checking the 'Dead' flag on a living creature does not just kill them, it literally eliminates them from existance! No body left, no inventory items, and completely missing on the 'U' screen.

hopefully you add in the ability to change the race of creatures.

I second this request in particular! Changing the race of your creatures on-the-fly makes for some FUN scenarios: Imagine a goblin horde sieging my fort and closing in on some hapless kitten caught outside. Use Runesmith to change race of kitten into [COLOSSUS_BRONZE]; grab your popcorn as you enjoy the show.

OMG! ULTIMATE PESKY NOBLE SOLUTION! No need to expend the effort on trap rooms!

Yeah, but this kinda kills the fun of noble hunting. HOWEVER! This is the ULTIMATE PESKY UNKILLABLE FORGOTTEN BEAST SOLUTION! No need to create Orbital Strikes to kill that smelly blob of vomit!

Yeah, looks like it's 008EB893.

I'm surprised that it moved so far.  Maybe a different link order?

Anyway, I suppose I should make a utility to locate and set this byte.

Has anyone tried setting it to less than 7, for a hermit challenge?

And... probably should start a new thread instead of piggybacking on this one.

[sizeak]

Just add the offset and functionality to DFHack? Also I now have a native linux version built, just have to test it now.

But then your dwarves don't get credit for killing the unkillable. it just vanishes.
Besides that, AWESOME!

0x517A5D: yeah i made a setting in my program to edit embark party. Unfortunately it crashes if less then 7. Didn't look into it, but my guess that somewhere later (alot?) in the code there is an assumption that party is of 7.
