I'm not sure how I missed  the Mac version coming out 6 months ago...

I just want to report that I was able to get DFHack to work with Mac OSX 10.7.3, after much searching this thread.
I wasn't sure how to actually get it installed and working, as most guides don't include install info for Mac.
(Unzip to DF folder (or copy all contents to DF folder), and then click the DFHack icon.)
I plan to use DFHack for bugfixes (esp. patrol duty tweak) and FPS increasing (not sure how). I would appreciate advice - or a link to a new users guide or a FAQ perhaps.

Just saw your post castellan, good luck to you, fellow mac user.

Once you have it installed and running, using DFHack on the Mac is the same as using it on any other platform. You simply type the appropriate commands in the Terminal window it launches from.

As for a new users' guide...I dunno, I think the closest DFHack has right now is the README. You can also ask any question you want here, and usually get a pretty quick response, or if you like IRC, you can come to the #dfhack channel on Freenode and get real-time feedback.

I finally got dfhack to build thanks to help on the freenode irc #dfhack channel, instructions are as such

following original instructions here

what happened with dfusion embark modifier?  So I can change the # of dwarfs I start off with

it was called simple_embark

[WillowLuman]

How would I hack an adventurer or companion to be a resident of some fort I wandered to? So that they'd be hanging around there (friendly or hostile) when I got there?

https://github.com/warmist/dfhack/blob/master/Readme.rst#id115

Code: [Select]

:lua require('plugins.dfusion.embark').Embark:install{{"RACE",CASTE_NUM},{"RACE2",CASTE_NUM2},....,{}}
this is done because there should not be any races.txt files that you need to manipulate in dfhack file tree. Some day i'll make a gui for it.

Edit: misread, simple_embark got misplaced, will readd. In the mean time you can use Embark instead.

Anyone know if the friendship plugin still works, and/or how to use it? I could really use some extra hands right now, and as it turns out many of my pets have them, but refuse to use them for anything remotely helpful.

Which version and Os are you using? If it's r2 then you can edit dfusion/friendship/races.txt and then run dfusion and choose friendship

[castellan]

Yep, that was it. I had a previous copy of DF running insite an app bundle created with appify (https://gist.github.com/674099).

Once I moved the files outside of the app bundle, everything was golden.

Thank you!

Windows, R2.

I entered "dfusion" and found friendship in the options menu. It works after adding the race to the list. Thanks.
The dingo men now have actual jobs listed in the units screen, but unfortunately I still can't assign labors to them, which I guess is because they still count as pets, or something. They're all running around picking up a bunch of "small" clothing which I guess came form cobald caravans I've been stealign from.

There should be something like "make sentient", it sets the dingo men "CAN_LEARN" flag so they show the labor menu.

When I run dfusion, select option 2 ("tools") and press 2 again ("Give Sentience") it prompts me to "Type race's token name in full caps to give sentience to:"

If I enter "DINGO_MAN" it gives me an error message:

If I do the same thing, but enter "DINGO_MAN FEMALE" (or anything else with some other string of letters after "DINGO_MAN") it doesn't display an error. It just doesn't do anything, and it doesn't appear to have any effect in-game either.

So what's going on here?

Haha... looks like i forgot to update it. Quickfix: goto dfusion/tools/init.lua (with text editor) and delete line 46. Should fix it.

EDIT: and the alternative as I said is to add "CAN_LEARN" to dingo_man raws.

[Eric Blank]

Wait wait! this just in!

I had a looksy in my raws at the C_variation_default.txt and creature_temperate_new.txt, and although I removed the line adding PET_EXOTIC to animal men in the creature variations, there was still a PET_EXOTIC tag in the creature definition for DINGO_MAN. After removing that, the "s: Ready for slaughter: (N)" line disappeared. Apparently, they are already sentient, but I didn't realize there was still a pet tag in their creature definition.

Sorry for the trouble, I should have been more thorough with checking their definitions.

[WillowLuman]

Can I use DFusion to make an adventurer and/or companions be a resident in an area, so they'll be hanging around the map if the spot is embarked upon?

[Rumrusher]

They will do that automatically
