Feature request

Is there a way to get the group by to nest?

such as if I want

group by migration wave
  then group by # of labors per dwarf.
    then by militia?

get my meaning?

[thistleknot]

I did some minor updates to my labor optimizer, link with video explaining v13
v14 has a new straight column, which shows what the #'s would look like without any buffer

and on the second sheet, there's explanations of what each of the configurable fields mean.

Feature request:

To avoid having to figure out who should be archer/melee

have a way to show who is best at what job out of what jobs is displayed on the grid view.

For example, I have a custom view that shows melee, and ranged custom roles.  Since there attributes/traits are very similar, and their skills share half the skills needed for these roles, they score around each other.

But... if I could easily see who was best fit for melee and ranged (which I can, I have to extend the top x number of roles in the detail pane, which is a pain, because it uses all roles, what I want is to limit it to the roles in the grid view).  Then I can assign to the position I want more efficiently.

Update:
The feature is nice, but I was able to get it to work without it, by comparing it to the next column in my grid view... I just wish there was a way to show who is best melee (top 10, BUT ONLY IF melee score is higher than their range role), got to be a way to filter it.  But I guess I could use custom scripts (not sure how, I got to get one custom role to be second to the other)

@thistleknot Is what you're looking for somehow different than the stuff splinterz fork has in it? There's a separate grid that you can sort by the dwarves "appropriateness" for each military role... Although I guess that was a bit more recent, and came after the more simple "top 10" display, so maybe you just need to pull and recompile the latest...

[thistleknot]

I am using Splinterz version.  The problem I'm having is I only want it to display the roles that I have in the specific gridview, but it displays all roles that I have programmed into therapist.

[thistleknot]

Shishamaru made this patch for me back when Splinterz was version 15.  I updated it so it works with v17, but it crashes after 2 exports.

It is supposed to export the current grid view values into a csv format.

But it doesn't work in v17 (maybe because the grid views have different calculations?)

Anyone who wants to take a look at it and let me know what you think is the issue, I'd be in your debt.  I hope to use this csv export for an autolabor type plugin for dfhack.

Update:

It's a segmentation fault happening in viewcolumn.cpp, apparently some cell is being referenced that shouldn't be.

Update:

Figured it out

need to update my code to include this...

Code: [Select]

if(DT->user_settings()->value("options/hide_children_and_babies",true).toBool() == false
                        || (d->profession()!="Child" && d->profession()!="Baby"))

feature request:

a way to search for preferences (rather than just show), like a grid view of sorts.  It seems preferences are multi-dimensional (since there's multiple categories of preferences. almost would need a very large grid view that showed Materials, Items, Food & Drink, Dislikes, Creatures, etc... and each specific item PER dwarf)., so I'm not sure how one could do a grid view, it would be huge, but without it, one would have to view each dwarf for there preferences and assign them...  kind of like the old way of doing stuff inside Dwarf Fortress.

[Mr S]

How do you view them at all from within DT?  I haven't found that yet evidently.  I'd love to have a popup window option for a given dwarf to look into thier psyche from time to time.

[thistleknot]

window (splinterz branch) meneu, show preferences

[Mr S]

Meh, would help if I was running the most recent version.  Still running .16.  Ooops.  I'll try that, thanks.

yeah i considered creating a huge grid, but even with large populations, most preferences only belong to a few dwarves, which results in a lot of wasted/empty space. under the assumption that you want to check preferences for role/job/labor assignments, i figured that the combination of showing the preferences for each dwarf, and the window to show totals would be sufficient.

perhaps you can explain what you're trying to accomplish so i can better understand where improvements could be made?

[thistleknot]

if I wanted to find bed constructing as a preference, the only way I know how to do it is look through every dwarf.  That's the main issue.  A search feature would be nice if a grid can't be accomodated.

[thistleknot]

Could dwarf therapist.ini be moved into the dwarf therapist folder, rather be buried in some deep app data folder.  The main reasoning I ask is because sometimes I have custom roles saved in there, and when moving the dwarf therapist folder from pc to pc, I have to dig this file out to and replace it.

use the preferences window. sort by the name, scroll down to 'Beds' and click on the row. the current grid will filter to only show those dwarves who have beds in their preferences. alternatively you can hover the cursor over the numbers and it will give you the names of the dwarves.

Do I understand correctly that DT does not work yet for the latest version of DF? (0.34.11)?
