Hey, guys- complete and utter newbie here. How exactly do I install the lua scripts so I can execute them from DFhack? I would /really/ like to be able to use the elevate scripts but after like an hour of fiddling around blindly I've had no success. Can anyone give me a step-by-step walkthrough?

Step 1: Copy the .lua file into the [DF]/hack/scripts folder
Step 2: Type the name of the script (without the ".lua") at the DFHack command prompt (along with any parameters).

Anyone else having their map revealed when running .lua scripts ?

I wonder if somebody could upload a really slow 0.34.10 fortress save - I'm curious what will turn out to be the most noticeable bottleneck in this version.

Is there a way to designate a dig for all unrevealed tiles?  I've noticed that digexp allows a filter for unrevealed, but ideally I'd like to be able to run a command to dig out an entire surface layer without digging out the walls around surface lakes, or the "edge" walls surrounding the layer in question.  I'd be willing to use lua scripts or however else it could be accomplished, ideally I'd expected this to be an option in digexp though, seems weird that you can set it as a filter, but not a pattern.  It'd also be a bonus if I could use this to channel instead of dig, as I could make the hollow mountain (and cavern-marksdwarf-coasters) in my dreams.

I'm having bit of a problem with autobutcher-namely I can't get it to work at all. How do I use it?(I've followed the steps in the readme, but I still can't do it)

Oh, wow, it's that easy? I feel silly now. Thanks very much.

EDIT: okay actually it would appear I have no folder called scripts. The only thing in my hack folder is "plugins" and those are all DLL files, not lua, and dropping it in there doesn't allow it to run. Neither does making my own script folder and dropping it in there.

Take latest DfHack from first post. It definitely has "script" folder.

nevermind, it was cleanmap I forgot that it revealed the map.

[slaytanic]

This may help people or it may not. I renamed some lua scripts and put them in my c:/ directory so all I had to do was just type:    runlua c:/Example.lua
and that worked fine for me. Short path = less typing.
I didn't know you could run the script any other way but to each his own. I don't use them a lot.

But when I run dfhack I get:

Code: [Select]

./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: /home/ubu/Downloads/df_linux/libs/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./hack/libdfhack.so)
But I'm looking right at the file:

Code: [Select]

ubu@ubu-PX790AA-ABA-SR1511NX-NA530:~/Downloads/df_linux/libs$ ls -al
total 20936
drwxr-xr-x 2 ubu ubu     4096 2012-03-30 06:27 .

-rwxr-xr-x 1 ubu ubu  4852343 2012-03-30 06:27 libstdc++.so.6

What am I missing?  I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 32bit.  Fresh install of df_linux, haven't even edited the inits yet.

To fix this I simply replaced the DF shipped copy of the file with the one installed in my OS (in my case opensuse 12.1):

    cd mydfdir/libs
    mv libstdc++.so.6 dforig.libstdc++.so.6
    ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Lol, thanks.  That was from over a month ago.  I fixed it by going down a version of gcc to 4.5

also if you put them into DF directory you can type "runlua Example.lua" or if you put into DF subdir (e.g. myscripts) then you can type "runlua myscripts/Example.lua" (also same with command "lua")

Hm, weird. If you followed one of the examples (1. set target count for a race, 2. put that race onto the watchlist, 3. start autobutcher) it should work. By default itīs set to run ca. once per minute, so you might not see an effect right away, though.

But itīs possible that the latest updates somehow killed it, I didnīt have the time to play more than a short while since Toady introduced the minecart stuff. Iīll look into it later today. Anybody else having problems with autobutcher and/or autonestbox?

(Apologies if this is the wrong thread or has been answered somewhere in the previous 600 posts)

Now that Prospector is part of dfhack, &  not a standalone exe (yes, I've been away from DF for "a while"), is there any way to export the results to an external, preferably text, file (on Winblows 7)?

[Rose]

You can copy and paste from the DFhack window. just right click the title bar, and do edit->mark.
