Gui/gm-editor Dfhack.gui.getCurViewscreen() if you want to poke at menus like effecting your stats from the beginning.

that gui really helps, I can pretty much answer all my own questions as to what data structures can be manipulated in lua

[mrDLS]

Dear peoples,

I remember seeing somewhere that there was a command to hide the annoying "dwarf cancels job" announcements in dfhack, but I can't remember what is was or where to find it. Could someone please help me and tell me what it is?

Thanks in advance.

[silentdeth]

Would anyone else find it useful if there was an auto-melt option for stockpiles, similar to the auto-trade option? Any obvious issues preventing it from being done?

[HavingPhun]

I am guessing this is a no. But, would it be possible to make a dfhack script that would allow you to turn a dwarf into a vampire by putting the k cursor over them and running said script?

Yes.

Yes.

Alright. Hmmm.. And uh, how would I do that? If thats not asking too much.

Is there a correct way to set nicknames with DFHack?  I'm pretty sure this is a problem with tools like Dwarf Therapist, so I'm guessing it's a similar mechanism at fault, but nicknames that I set using the Lua interface disappear randomly.

Do you have to set it on more than the unit itself?  Also on the historical figure perhaps?

Unit, historical figure and soul.

[Telgin]

Alright, thanks, I'll try that out.  May need to write a quick Lua script to handle it rather than doing it through the interactive interface then.

Nicknaming invaders sucks.

[Putnam]

Nicknaming can just be done with dfhack.units.setNickname(unit,nick)

[Telgin]

Well, that certainly simplifies matters.  I know I must be doing a lot the hard way with Lua when there are built in functions for some of this stuff.

[Rumrusher]

I wonder if the WIP fake id script allows you to get away with murder... just a little. Killing peasants under a new identity ruins the chances of fooling every one else once you switch up again. I guess this is due to how the new identity works. oh and the new identity only works in a new site not the same site you commit the murder.

[Kurik Amudnil]

Kurik, Warmist, thanks again.  The script I'm going to call final (if nothing else comes up) is: 

Spoiler: log-region.lua (click to show/hide)

Code: (log-region.lua) [Select]

-- On map load writes information about the loaded region to gamelog.txt

local function write_gamelog(msg)
    local log = io.open('gamelog.txt', 'a')
    log:write(msg.."\n")
    log:close()
end

local args = {...}
if args[1] == 'disable' then
    dfhack.onStateChange[_ENV] = nil
else
    dfhack.onStateChange[_ENV] = function(op)
        if op == SC_WORLD_LOADED then
            local site = df.world_site.find(df.global.ui.site_id)
            local fort_ent = df.global.ui.main.fortress_entity
            local civ_ent = df.historical_entity.find(df.global.ui.civ_id)
            -- site positions
            -- site  .pos.x  .pos.y
            -- site  .rgn_min_x  .rgn_min_y  .rgn_max_x  .rgn_max.y
            -- site  .global_min_x  .global_min_y  .global_max_x  .global_max_y
            --site.name
            --fort_ent.name
            --civ_ent.name
           
            write_gamelog('Loaded '..df.global.world.cur_savegame.save_dir..', '..dfhack.TranslateName(site.name)..' ('..dfhack.TranslateName(site.name, true)..'), at coordinates ('..site.pos.x..','..site.pos.y..')'..NEWLINE..
                          '    colonized by the group '..dfhack.TranslateName(fort_ent.name)..' ('..dfhack.TranslateName(fort_ent.name,true)..
                              ') of the civilization '..dfhack.TranslateName(civ_ent.name)..' ('..dfhack.TranslateName(civ_ent.name,true)..').'..NEWLINE)
        end
    end
end

And is activated by putting "log-region" as it's own line in dfhack.init

It has occured to me that you may find the world name useful too

Code: (lua) [Select]

worldname = df.global.world.world_data.name
dfhack.TranslateName(worldname)
dfhack.TranslateName(worldname ,true)

1. What's an easy way to tell if the game screen is on the embark screen?
  -- solved, did a search for embark screen and found an answer in this thread.

2. How can I find the value of a dwarf's migrant wave?

3. Is there a way to modify an artifact so it's sellable?

4. Where can I modify embark points (i.e. in dfhack)
