And that still doesn't describe what is in the "kitchen sink" build that is not in the "all" build. Not that it really matters.

OMG I hate those a-holes!  Is there a way to mod them so they don't do that?

Possibly making all the cavern layer 1 creatures that have [MOUNT] also have whatever tag makes the ones like cave crocodiles aggressive should work.   I'm thinking it's something like [LARGE_PREDATOR], but I haven't preformed science to test it.  I generally like keeping the vanilla creatures vanilla, and adding such a tag to all the 1st cavern layer mountable creatures is more drastic than I'd like. 

That and it would be a pain to search all the raws for creatures that spawn in the first cavern layer (goblins and similar civilizations that use cave critters only ever take from cavern 1), that also have [MOUNT] that aren't already aggressive...and I'm lazy.

No, goblins use [MOUNT_EXOTIC] I think...

Possibly some extra dev stuff that doesn't go into release. I'd have to double check to be sure.

Actually I havent really checked, is there already a kill function?  I'm not at my home computer.

Not sure, but if there isn't, I've found that setting current blood of a unit to 0 works for any creature that requires blood. It will kill any of those creatures in 1-2 frames. Outside of that (stuff like bronze colossus), I'm sure that there is a way you can flag all body parts as removed though, and that would definitely take care of any creature.

EDIT: @Hamek it should be a matter of extracting DFHack onto the DF directory(the one with Dwarf Fortress.exe) and then replacing the symbols.xml file with the one on the git.  I have never used the lazy newb pack though.  I imagine it leaves the directory structure as it normally is so it should work, but I'm not 100%.   Hopefully somebody more familiar with the LNP can give more detailed information.

Hello
For a non-lazy newb pack version, (DF34.11 vanilla, windows): does the compilation from thistleknot include a valid symbols.xml?

I compiled DFhack (34.11) with the kitchen sync options for Windows

Yay!

Thank you for doing this. It works for me on Windows 7 64bit. The previous symbols.xml fiddling did not work for me.

With this I was able to remove some forgotton beast extract that was killing a few dwarves a year through syndrome bleeding. Now I can get legendary dwarves again!

[orfax]

The symbols.xml file from that thistleknot compile can be found here: http://pastebin.com/44vKthe7

[Argelle]

Okki, I'll stick to the thistleknot compile's symbols.xml

Another (out of pure curiosity) question:
Stonesense seems different (improved?) in the compilation (compared to the version packed with df hack 34.10). I try to get track of the version history, so, is this still stonesense version 33 or a newest, not yet posted in the stonesense thread?

[Rose]

New versions don't really get posted to the thread anymore, there's just a link to here, and no, the one in the compilation is not the same as the one packed with the 34.10 version of DFhack.

How do i change XXhelmXX to helm? With changeitem i can chabge quality but can't change it's wear level.

Also is there a way to change quality of all items in a container under cursor? This would really save a lot of times for me:)

rejuvenate.lua

Interesting.  I wonder if that can be modified to act as a kill function.   Wouldn't work on goblins and elves naturally but usually the only time I've ever wanted to outright kill something with a hack tool, was when it was goblin mounts that were too scared to attack the fortress.

OMG I hate those a-holes!  Is there a way to mod them so they don't do that?

uhh you could mod it so that they join the fortress. though I don't play enough fort mode to feel the need to use a hack tool to kill folks. I just simply jump into adventure mode and  run up to them with a pickaxe if I that crazy. ususally a kill on command tool will bug you into an infinite siege that you can't escape.*

_{*lies you just need to switch between adventure mode and fort mode.}

How do you actually run it? I couldn't work it out

[Rose]

Copy into DF folder, run DF?

Thanks  I thought it was reading the memory, I didn't know it had to be copied in the main DF directory

[Rose]

Nope, the reading memory thing is the old way of doing things that didn't work well.

Nowadays people read the readme file that tells you what, exactly, you are supposed to do with the files you just downloaded.
