I feel horrible, I had a bit of a cavein accident, one miner died, other one knocked unconscious. Worst thing, one had a baby on the job. 6 days old. Baby survived, but had both legs broken and lower spine broken. The mother was the one knocked unconscious I think, (similar names, is that how it works?), but she just left the baby. Baby crawled all the way back to the dining hall, draging it's broken body along.

Now the problem is DT does not see the baby, It's name is nowhere to be found, my bookkeeper reports 53 dwarfs, DF only 52. Has DF already given up on this broken baby? Surely this baby is not a vampire?

i wouldn't mind getting my hands on that save to take a look if it's not too much trouble.

I found something you may be interested in, vampires have THREE different names? O.o (see screenshot)

Order of events:
I knew i had a vamp somewhere, then someone got accused.

I couldn't see the accused's name in DT which confused me, so i checked in Legends Viewer and again couldn't see them.

I turned on the cheat option in DT to show them. And up comes the purple dude, but i can't find his name in game and doesn't match the accused.

I entered the 1st name of the guy into LV and at the top was the guy with the same kill as the accused Vampire ingame.

after much blood and tears from Thistleknot and myself i've got another update to the unofficial branch which improves the roles feature among other things.

it's very important that if you've created custom roles in the game_data.ini you save them and move them to the dwarf therapist.ini after updating

Changes:

• removed the labels for strength, agility, etc. on the dwarf details pane, and added a new table for attributes similar to traits and skills.
• modified the role rating system, it should be much more accurate now (credit to Thistleknot for all his hard work)
• added attribute, trait and skills global weights to the options (set to 1.0)
• after saving options, you are now prompted to read the dwarves again, as most options require a read.
• added many more default roles
• changed the syntax of custom roles. see the game_data.ini for plenty of examples
• updated all craft related roles to weigh creativity the most
• custom roles have been moved to the dwarf therapist.ini. they should be added under the [custom_roles] heading
• custom roles can now override a default role column if it is given the same name
• d.skill_mean(id), d.skill_stdev(id), d.trait_mean(id), d.trait_stdev(id) have been added for scripting purposes
• scripted role columns will now draw correctly as long as the value is between 0 and 100
• all menus when adding columns to custom views can be 'torn off' to aid in adding many columns at once (click the --- line at the top to tear off)
• fixed changed/missing current jobs
• migrants will show in in DT properly again before they're on the map

Q. How does the weighting work?
A. Weights come in two main categories: individually or globally. Individual weights are placed on individual aspects (trait, attribute, skill) and give them value relative to the others in the group. For example, if you wanted strength to be worth more than agility relative to attributes, you would give strength a higher weight.

The second category is for the global weights. These are applied to each of the 3 aspect groups (attributes, skills and traits) after individual weights are applied. Essentially this is like saying, for example: "I would like attributes, in general, to be worth more than traits".

Q. How do I add a custom role?
A. Navigate to your Dwarf Therapist.ini file. Append [custom_roles] to the end of the file if it's not already there. Within this section is where you can define custom roles. The first line should be size=x, where x is the number of custom roles you have. Finally add the aspects for the roles. Here is an example of a chief medical dwarf:

1/name="Chief Medical"
1/attributes_weight=1.0 (optional weight for the attributes group, if not supplied will use value in options)
1/skills_weight=1.0 (optional weight for the skills group, if not supplied will use value in options)
1/traits_weight=1.0 (optional weight for the traits group, if not supplied will use value in options)
1/attributes/size=3 (number of attributes)
1/attributes/1/id=analytical ability
1/attributes/1/weight=0.5 (optional individual weight)
1/attributes/2/id=memory
1/attributes/3/id=intuition
1/skills/size=1 (number of skills)
1/skills/1/id=60
1/traits/size = 2 (number of traits)
1/traits/1/id=20
1/traits/2/id=23

Notes:
You can look up trait and skill id numbers by opening the script->new script menu. The right side contains reference tables.
The 1 at the beginning of the line is the role's index or id. The next custom role added to this list would replace all 1/ at the beginning with 2/.

Q. How do I create a custom role that uses a script?
A. You add these the same as a regular custom role, however you leave out all the attribute/trait/skill sections and simply add a script="" area. For example:
1/name="Script Column"
1/script="your script here"

Note that you should not use scripts that have comparison operators (<, >, >=, =) and do not put comments in the script. The script should result in a value for each dwarf.

Q. How do I value an aspect inversely? (ie. less strength is better)
A. Simply add a - sign before the id of the attribute, skill or trait. For example:
1/name="Weak Dwarf"
1/attributes/size=1
1/attributes/1/id=-strength

Q. How do I replace one of the default roles in the Roles view?
A.Simply add a custom role with the same name. It will be used in place of the default role on the Roles tab with that name.

In the version of Therapist packaged with Masterwork 1.5.1+, I can't load all migrants into Therapist as soon as the game pauses with the "Some migrants have arrived" message. They only appear in Therapist after they have moved onto the game screen. I've never had this problem before. It's very useful to be able to see all your migrants as soon as the game pauses so you can easily modify their labors immediately instead of watching the screen until no more have come for a while.

I believe Meph is using splinterz's patched version as of 1.5.1, so maybe it's a consequence of his changes? Anyone else notice this?

I'm using splinterz's version from a week or so ago (before the new roles stuff), and I'm also seeing the same thing.

In the "official" version, when a new migration wave arrived, I could read dwarves and sort by migration wave, and there would be a new wave with all the new dwarves, even ones that weren't yet on the map.

In this version, when I get the message for a new wave, if I read and sort by migration wave, it doesn't show a new wave, but there will be one new dwarf in the latest old wave. If I unpause until the second dwarf from the wave appears on the map, then re-read the dwarves in DT, there are now two new dwarves in the latest wave (but still not a new wave). At some point a new wave will appear in DT, but I think it's not until all the dwarves from the the new wave are on the map.

I do miss having all of the new dwarves appear at once in a separate wave so I can sort through them right away. Even if they only show up in DT as they enter the map, they should at least appear in a separate wave from the last bunch. It's a pain having to try and find the new guy when the last wave had 30 dwarves. Especially if the name shown in DF doesn't match the name in DT (and you know what that means!)

Edit: As long as I'm posting, I'll add 3 things.

First and foremost: Many, many thanks to those who have contributed to this project. I can't imagine playing DF without DT.

Second: Would it be possible to make it so I can sort by two columns? For instance, if I goto the military tab and sort by strength, the Endurance column is random. If I then sort by endurance, the strength column is random. I'd like to be able to have it show the strongest first, and when strength is equal, sort by endurance. And where both are equal, sort buy toughness, and so on.

Third: Would it be possible to also not reset the sorting when I re-read the dwarves and/or switch tabs? I tend to go to the military tab and sort by fighting and look down the list for potential soldiers. But once I pick a likely draftee, I want to check his labors to make sure he's not the only woodcutter i have (for example). Then when I switch back to the military tab, I have to re-sort again. Or another example is when I want to see why no one is smelting the ore in the queue at the smelter and I sort by furnace operating to see who has it enabled. Then a little while later I re-read the dwarves to see who is doing what, and they get re-sorted by name so I have to select furnace operator again. It seems like it ought to be able to remember what I had things sorted by on each tab.

[splinterz]

i haven't had a chance to test the migration issue yet, but i have an idea what's probably causing it.

originally when i was figuring out how to implement roles my first thought was just to create scripts and sort on multiple columns. unfortunately with the current code library sorting on multiple columns doesn't seem to be supported and it'll be a bit of work to implement it, but anything is possible with enough time. for what you're describing though, i'd highly recommend checking out the roles. a simple way of thinking of them is performing a multiple sort, but in a single column.

i briefly looked into the tab switching/sorting while i was doing the role stuff and again there should be a way to do it, it'll just take time to poke around and find the necessary bits and pieces to put it together. which is damned slow for me since i've never used qt up until a month ago so i have to look up documentation for everything   

[ratchet freak]

if you specify a stable sort and keep the dwarfs sorted that way in the backing array/vector that should do it

I feel horrible, I had a bit of a cavein accident, one miner died, other one knocked unconscious. Worst thing, one had a baby on the job. 6 days old. Baby survived, but had both legs broken and lower spine broken. The mother was the one knocked unconscious I think, (similar names, is that how it works?), but she just left the baby. Baby crawled all the way back to the dining hall, draging it's broken body along.

Now the problem is DT does not see the baby, It's name is nowhere to be found, my bookkeeper reports 53 dwarfs, DF only 52. Has DF already given up on this broken baby? Surely this baby is not a vampire?

Here is the save game:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1940986/region1.zip

after rebooting and playing on, the baby is still crawling around with broken back and legs (maybe a zombie I don't think a newborn will survive 2 broken legs and a back for very long.) and DT doesn't think it exhists.

edit: oh and it was the mother of the baby killed in the cave in. The father is around, but hey he doesn't care.

[thistleknot]

I just would like to say:

"Hell yeah!"

If it weren't a forum, I'd drop the f bomb.

Thank you Splinterz.  I wish I had your skills, like bow hunting or computer hacking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TejWxbJ02xw#t=0m12s

Is there any particular reason that there isn't a write_short() function? I've tried adding one by mirroring the write_int() function and changing the necessary ints to shorts, but after compiling just fine it segfaults every time.

In order to use it in dwarf.cpp, I have to declare it in inc/dwarfinstance.h as:

Code: [Select]

virtual int write_short(const VIRTADDR &addr, const short &val) = 0;
If I declare it in all the dwarfinstancelinux files, not use it in dwarf.cpp, and not declare it in dwarfinstance.h, it will compile fine and run fine. The moment I add that line though, it starts to segfault.

From gdb:

Code: [Select]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
DFInstanceLinux::read_raw (this=0xfee3b0, addr=@0x1, bytes=8, buffer=...) at src/dfinstancelinux.cpp:220
220     for(VIRTADDR ptr = addr; ptr < addr+ bytes; ptr += step_size) {

And the last few lines of the trace log:

I assume it has something to do with this comment in write_raw():

Code: [Select]

* On x86-64 systems, the size that POKEDATA writes is 8 bytes instead of
* 4, so we need to use the sizeof( long ) as our step size.
but is there any way to get around that? (Because naively making stepsize be sizeof(short) didn't help either )

Thanks

Edit: I have tried reading in the short 0x04 before in memory, concatenating the two unsigned into an int, then writing them both back with write_int(), but that doesn't seem to work at all (does mess things up nicely, though)

[AdeleneDawner]

I'm having trouble with custom roles - they aren't showing up at all.

Am I supposed to start numbering them at 1, or at 47 to follow the default roles? (I'm starting at 1.)

If I have a typo somewhere, would that cause them not to load?

Any other gotchas I might be running into?

Here's what I added to game_data.ini:

I'm having trouble with custom roles - they aren't showing up at all.

Am I supposed to start numbering them at 1, or at 47 to follow the default roles? (I'm starting at 1.)

If I have a typo somewhere, would that cause them not to load?

Any other gotchas I might be running into?

Here's what I added to game_data.ini:

looks fine, just move that whole section to your Dwarf Therapist.ini instead of game_data.ini.

I feel horrible, I had a bit of a cavein accident, one miner died, other one knocked unconscious. Worst thing, one had a baby on the job. 6 days old. Baby survived, but had both legs broken and lower spine broken. The mother was the one knocked unconscious I think, (similar names, is that how it works?), but she just left the baby. Baby crawled all the way back to the dining hall, draging it's broken body along.

Now the problem is DT does not see the baby, It's name is nowhere to be found, my bookkeeper reports 53 dwarfs, DF only 52. Has DF already given up on this broken baby? Surely this baby is not a vampire?

Here is the save game:

after rebooting and playing on, the baby is still crawling around with broken back and legs (maybe a zombie I don't think a newborn will survive 2 broken legs and a back for very long.) and DT doesn't think it exhists.

edit: oh and it was the mother of the baby killed in the cave in. The father is around, but hey he doesn't care.

i can see that baby just fine in DT, are you sure you have the option on to show babies and children?

That would probably help, ya. Thanks, splinterz.

i've updated the download link in my previous post with a fix so migrants will again show up in DT before they're on the map.

I'm having another issue with migrants: it isn't sorting the waves properly. The first three waves (including initial 7) are fine, but the fourth wave is added to the third wave.

The problem exists in version 7 as well, but 0.6.12 works fine. The new update hasn't fixed this unfortunately.
