The blocks in the sky don't actually exist yet till you build something there yourself first. you need to first make a stairway going up where you want the obsidian tower to be, then the space will be created for the tower.

So just build a XX  straight up 20 z levels and then that'll work? Going to try it out now, thanks a lot.

yeah, just remember that the map is devided into 16x16 sections (3x3 per embark square) and each one needs to be initialized like this.

[Alexander86]

sweet, that worked like a charm. I just put an up down stair every 10 spaces in every direction and put them up 10 levels, worked perfectly. Thanks again this (i thought bug) had been bothering me for a long time.

okay for adventurers who had issues with bogeymen here's a command that makes them less hostile.

Code: [Select]

function advancenames(unit)--for naming units
if unit==nil then
unit=getCreatureAtPos(getxyz())
end
entry=getline()
unit.name.first_name=entry
end
tools.menu:add("NameGenerator",advancenames)
function tools.Civedit(unit) --use this on bogey and they will calm down.
--local myoff=offsets.getEx("AdvCreatureVec")
--local vector=engine.peek(myoff,ptr_vector)
print("Self or at position? (s or anything else):");
local r=getline()
local unit
if r=="s" or r=="S" then
unit=df.global.world.units.other[0][0]
else
if unit==nil then
unit=getCreatureAtPos(getxyz())
end
unit.civ_id=1
end
end
tools.menu:add("ChangeCiv",tools.Civedit)

Though you need to have the yellow x pointer on top of the creature to make it work.

Is there a utility for measuring the populations of creatures on a map?

reveal the map and hit (u), at least in dwarf mode

[WillowLuman]

Was trying to check to see if anyone died while I was out of town in adventure mode.

A bit curious - what was the reason df2minecraft got taken out? Did it not work yet with the newer versions, or is it being dropped permanently?

[Rose]

It got to the point that it would be easier to write it from scratch than to update it to the latest version

What could be causing the errors below when I invoke stonesense?  I am using dfhack-0.34.07-r2-Windows, and have tried deleting and re-extracting the stonesense directory.  It has happened with every fortress in 34.07.  If I invoke and quit stonesense several times, it crashes DF.

stonesense\buildings\Shop.xml: <building> Is generic - game_subtype missing.: building (Line 5)
stonesense\buildings\Blueprint.xml: <building> Is generic - game_subtype missing.: building (Line 5)

sometimes followed by

backbuffer w, h: 1916, 1001

and occasionally by

open stonesense/creatures/index.txt, and remove the first line, that says large_256/index.txt. This is the line that tells stonesense to load the really big creature sprites that take a lot of video memory. If you have an older videocard, you won't be able to load them.

[slink]

That will surely get rid of the occasional large_256 error, but it has not changed the xml errors.  These do not occur in 34.05 DF andf DFHack, but stonesense in 34.05 thinks two vanilla shops are custom (soapmaker and screwpress).  Could these be the buildings that 34.07 is giving errors for?

[Rose]

Soapmaker and screwpress /are/ custom, though, in the sense that they are loaded from the raws.

why, is it giving you lip about them?

[slink]

In 34.05 was it saying they were custom, but not in red text.  Just letting me know for some reason, I guess.  I was thinking the two red-text xml errors in 34.07 might be due to them, somehow.  I have no better reason to think so than that two equals two, which is not much of a reason.
