weird feature request

synopsis:
assign labor to the rest of dwarf's that are not assigned to that labor..

example:
a way to assign mason labor to ALL the dwarf's that are currently not mason's.

nevermind... can do by sorting by race...

new bug:

cursed dwarf check... not working...  where should i be looking for the highlight?  On the unit name?  I have it set to purple, and I have a cursecheck command showing 1 (and 1 reported drained of blood) and yet... no one is highlighted.

yes... I'm a dirty cheater...

yes they should be highlighted like nobles. i may have to check another offset if it's not working. at the moment it's checking the curse name and i have no idea if there are curses without names. send me the save?

Dt (Splinterz's one) stoped working for me, for no apparent reason.
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.
I haven't played during more than a week, and several updates came to Ubuntu during that time (it's the only things that have changed, i can't see other reason).
Today, DT just crash at launch. I try re download it and compile it again, but it still crash right after launch.
I tried to launch DT via CLI, to have an error message on terminal, but there isn't any.
What can i do to have more valuable information to give to you ?

My fault. I forget the last part (hiden in the comments) : "cp -r ../../etc/ ."
Sorry ^^

To make my post less useless :

- DT under Linux read dwarves far slower than under Windows (the more dwarves you have, the slower it is vs nearly instant for Windows).

- i thought a good hunter should be good in marksdwarf and in ambush. DT tell me than one of my dwarve is supposed to be a good hunter but he is bader than the others at ambush and marksdwaf (all have no skill - i start naked; no stuff, no skill). How can this be possible ? Are there other things than ambush and marksdwarf to consider to be a good hunter ?

- requested feature : totally replace the military in game UI (that's the worst part of DF, imo). No idea if it can be done, but i wish you good luck...

And thank you for all the nice additions in DT !

Urist MacFrench, I was surprised at the role requirements for Hunter, too.  With all the footfalls required in stalking; I'd think they would need lots more Agility.  Maybe Agility doesn't affect their stealth travel speed.  Its logical to have the others, Focus, Spatial and Kinestetic. 

Marksdwarf requirement would be redundant, since it requires the same thing as Hunter, minus the military skills and some people prefer player squad-hunting over AI hunter-hunting, so the separation is necessary to please them.  I'm happy with the Hunter Role. 

Except, I would think it would need a Not Sympathy requirement.  Since so often, Hunters traverse the Butchershop, the corpse stockpiles and take part in seeing gruesome body parts and death, often.  Hard to imagine a Hunter as compassionate.  Know what I mean?  Butcher isn't even Not Sympathy.  Butcher role I think should get tweaked before Hunter role, however.  If Sympathy even does anything.  *shrug*  Knutor

I don't know if this has been addressed, but I keep having ghosts show up in my list of dwarves with assignable labors.

[thistleknot]

it would be nice if I could nest by group by

and if squad grouping was by squad assignment, and not by active military (I can get around it by ordering a squad to do something, but if someone is sleeping...)

[Urist MacFrench]

Is it possible to avoid puting strangers (like caravane merchants and their bodyguards) in DT ? They seem to not do what i tell them to do

[Vehudur]

I can't get the autoupdate to work for some reason unknown to me so I have not been able to use this for the lastest version. Any ideas?

[splinterz]

i don't know what this means, please elaborate.

this definitely shouldn't be happening if you're using my branch. if you've updated the ini files manually double check the flags here (near the end). otherwise upload the save and i'll take a closer look.

I do

I don't (just copied them from a place to another, as said in the wiki comments - if not, DT did not launch).

They seem to be the same.

By "the save", you mean, the "region" folder ?

[splinterz]

yes the region folder in data/save/ which has the problem.

Hi, is there such a thing as a simple guide to getting Dwarf Therapist run on linux? I'm running ubuntu 12.04, the linux versions seem to be for different distros. When I try and run Dwarf Fortress and Dwarf Therapist in Wine (both latest versions), it tells me that Dwarf Therapist can't find a "PEB" address.

So...hlp pls? My apologies if this has been already answered.

Alternatively I would really welcome any tips on how to manage the fortress when it grows big. I've had it grow to about 80 dwarfs and it turns quite unmanageable by hand at those numbers.
