i'm unaware of problems assigning squads on linux. i'll do some testing to verify, but can you elaborate on what the problem is? it doesn't work, or you don't have a menu option? what version are you running and are you using mods?
RIght, sorry, that wasn't very clear, was it?
The option doesn't even show up in the context menu. I'm running the latest commit (
2a6f5078039e) built from source. I'm running vanilla DF (34.11) with (Golden Shadow's) Ironhand's graphics and with dfhack. It's worked for me before, but somewhere along the way it stopped showing up in the right-click menu, though I'm not exactly certain when; I've only really noticed it since I started taking some casualties from FB syndromes since gobbos weren't doing it. I've also tried earlier tagged commits equivalent to versioned releases (15.2). I'll try more, as well as cross-test against Ironhand. Now that I think of it, it may have started after I compiled and started using dfhack. I'll cross-test against that as well.
the generic melee and ranged roles have been split into individual roles based on weapon skills which is much more accurate when searching for potential militia than the previous roles with every all skills. check the alternate military view included.
if you create a custom role, you'll need to add it to a custom view for it to show up, or name it the same name as one of the roles on the default roles tab to override it on that tab. let me know if you have more questions.
Okay, thanks! Despite this mystery, you've got a great edition of an already great tool. Much appreciated.
