hmmmm, seems someone forgot the executable for the current windows version... only has dfhack-run.exe :/ anyone feel like pm'ing me a copy?

I'm trying to cut out a 3X7 hallway within a one-layer aquifer without much success; is there a way to do this simply with dfhack?

[Warmist]

Use it just before pressing 'e' to embark (in area selection menu).

Use what, exactly?  The "1" or "3" command, because by name, the "Embark | Multi race embark" tool sounds more fitting.

Multi race embark.

By saying 'e' i meant in df itself.

[telamon]

it's looking for the number 1

just press 1 for simple embark.

..... facepalm.

@tapeworm: try using changelayer on the aquifer, change it to a material that cannot contain an aquifer and see what happens

castes are usually 0 and 1, not 1 and 2

Ah, list sequences.  Silly me.  -1 to all and it ran!  My dogs now have names ._.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

they're not pets but members of your civ. dfusion also has a mode to control them as if they were dwarves, though i'm not sure it'd work on non sentients

[Girlinhat]

Doesn't much matter, I'm doing a hermit challenge  I'll just treat them as livestock, though apparently I can have them butchered.  The solo dwarf also has no relationships, as usually the staring 7 know each other rather well.

Hi,
I'm starting to use DFH. I have a little beginners problem: Many commads affect something "under cursor". What does it meand "cursor" here, how I choose where it is?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

the cursor is the yellow X you can move around with the arrow keys while using the look function, or any other that activates the cursor

[Girlinhat]

Anything that invokes a cursor.  "k" or "v" or "q" or "t" or even "b-c-w" will create a cursor on the screen.

I thought it, I tried it, but it seems it doesn't work. To be more specific: Firstly I tried it with command "changelayer" and it really didn't change layer under cursor (and still don't). Now I tried it for other commands and it seems work right so far.

What executable?

[Greiger]

The new-er versions of DFhack are made to run automatically when DF starts so they have faster access to memory access to more DF functions, and fewer antiviruses flipping their shit when things run.   When you run DF, DFHack opens a console window for it's functions.
