If it takes over the terminal in TEXT mode, then that's a bug. Does it?

Yes, all I get in the console when I run ./dfhack is "DFHack is ready.  Have a nice day!" etc.

I can hear the game running the opening movies and the menu music.  Can't see the opening menu.

I can't remember if I ever said thanks, for making this great tool.

So... Thanks!

I think autolabor is assigning labours to active military dwarves. This might be a problem in fortresses with an extremely large proportion of active military to civilians, where most of the civilians have been auto assigned to tasks such as mining while hauling tasks need to be done. (My current fort matches this description; there is a large excavation occuring and noone is assigned hauling to take food from the depot, or dump the rotten food in the depot. The military has had hauling labours auto assigned to them.)

I have a few points of feedback on autolabor as well:
1) should be an option for medical tasks being changeable, it keeps switching on and off medical tasks on my medical dwarves (especially my chief medical dorf)... this is "really bad(tm)".
2) some tasks are never getting done... ever because of how rapidly it changes tasks, seems to be primarily an issue with tasks that require specialized tools, specifically woodcutting in my case.  I've had a tree for 3 seasons marked to be cut and it wasn't done.  a single tree on the entire map (was in the way of a wall.) I often see someone assigned to wood cutting but it never gets cut.  I finally said screw it and turned off autolabor and assigned everyone to woodcutting and it was cut in 5s. then turned autolabor back on.
3) it's assigning ~way~ more miners than i have it set for (5)... currently has 9 assigned to mining.
4) needs to be a way to exclude certain people from being messed with period... like my broker... and chief med dorf.
5) needs to be an option to exclude military dwarves from active labors... not an issue with current fort but will be with larger one when i separate civvies from military entirely.
6) weighting for certain jobs needs adjusted... gemcutting, gemsetting, architecture, etc... i really only EVER want ONE dwarf doing them for the most part because they take so much work to raise, yes... i have a job queued for cutting stones but that doesn't mean its not better to wait for the skilled dwarf to go off break.
7) with changes to animal training my dogs don't seem to be getting trained because of rapid job changing.
Really neat program though!  Hope it sees a lot more development!

thanking whoever was responsible for tweak clear ghostly... toady's 07 ghost fix did not fix caravan guards, and this is the only way to clear them.
So far - i havent had any weird issues like them returning etc (i've had to clear 2 so far) - so this tweak has been the only reason i've continued my current fort

[telamon]

quick question - DFhack has no way to edit the stagnant flag on a given tile, does it? I checked tiletypes but it doesn't seem to be one of the special painting options. stupid stagnant water.... the last time I played a fortress through to the stage of building an advanced well, it was way back in early 0.31.xx where this crazy stagnation plague wasn't in effect >_>

[robertheinrich]

You can use the liquids tool to clear the stagnation flag. (probably also tiletypes as well)

[telamon]

Ahh, so that's where wclean was! I thought it was its own command; I was accustomed to the liquids commands from 0.31.xx so I didn't know there were new ones. Thanks!

Is there a fix for embark anywhere with Dfusion it just crashes DF when I use it?

[BigFatStupidHead]

I have also found running prospect on the embark map several times causes the dfhack window to become very slow until after I restart DF.

you could use the original non dfhack dfusion for 34.xx still works if you just use embark anywhere.

and it will never get to the 'Welcome to DFHack' stage. Dwarf Fortress itself will load up normally. Anyone got any ideas whats going on?

Glad the tweak helped you and please report back if anything weird happens in your fort in the future (I kinda suspected ghosts coming back etc, cool that they don't). And please report your problem with the deceased caravan guard(s) on Mantis because not everybody uses dfhack and it seems Toady missed to fix that special issue.
