DFhack became a very important software for my DF games,
expecially because it resolves with patch(s) many bugs.

Is there a link that I can go or a RSS I can subscribe to be updated about updates ?
Not a forum link, because as you already did it the link can change.

this could help: atom link to peterix's github

Thanks. And next question will be:

considering this is very beta stuff,
but also works on making the "present" in the game better and don't edit the "past" (saving new items or stuff like that in the savegames),
is it safe to keep it updated ?
even if it's very very new ?

[Rumrusher]

well you update when ever you see a new addon that you want or if toady updates his game and we have to come out with a patch.
other than that no mandatory update system needed.

[Mr S]

And, as with any "experimental" pre-Alpha feature, or add-on, Back-up, Back-up, Back-up!!

[Nokao]

ok, thanks

I played with lazy newb pack, until now I discovered this masterwork megapack.

Is dfhack also inside masterwork, right ?

[Dibber6]

Whoops wrong forum. Ignore this.

DFHack is there, I think not all plugins are enabled, but you can do it yourself.

How do I set up the Siege Engine plugin? I noticed it uses the GUI, what GUI?

I want to bring some military spice into my fort that isn't just the boring ol' swordmaster squad.

Rename "dfhack.init-example" to "dfhack.init", now it tells DFHack which plugins to load. Open it with notepad, you can remove lines of fixes/plugins you don't want.
For siege engine scroll down, you will see:

# siege engine control
keybinding add Alt-A@dwarfmode/QueryBuilding/Some/SiegeEngine gui/siege-engine

It shows that the siege engine front end is now bound to Alt-A, you can change it if you want.

Is it possible to force a dwarf to go berserk or to change loyalty in fortress mode? If so, how? Also, can it be done to an existing game which does not yet have DF hack installed?

[Mr S]

[DFHack]# lua
[lua]# dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().mood = df.mood_type.Berserk
[lua]# quit

This discussing just a few days ago describes setting the Berserk flag.  Search a bit further back regarding setting membership flags, which would affect loyalties.  However, once they're Berserk, all loyalties go out the window.

Also, you can install DFHack over an existing DF game without having to regen worlds.  As always, make backups as YMMV.

[Master Catfish]

Great. That was exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks very much!

[lua]# dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().mood = df.mood_type.Berserk

Yes, I read this, but how to get normal?

[Rumrusher]

Code: [Select]

[DFHack]# lua
[lua]# dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().mood = df.mood_type.None
[lua]# quit
or Nil

oh here's the highly experimental Gm-editor Warmist made for slow testing around dwarf fortress

[Quietust]

Code: [Select]

[DFHack]# lua
[lua]# dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit().mood = df.mood_type.NONE
[lua]# quit
or Nil

Actually, neither NONE nor Nil will work:
1. Nil isn't a number - if it was, it'd be 0, and 0 means "Fey".
2. "NONE" isn't a valid enum value for df.mood_type - it's case-sensitive, so you have to use "None".

[Mr S]

Wow, that DF Engine is one picky bitch 

In a related note, if I, say, set a dwarf to Macabre Fey, will they, in turn claim a workshop and "materials" and make something artifact-y?

Dwarven child care may be taking a whole new angle, muahahahaha!!!!

Certainly not - it won't do anything unless you actually create and assign a Strange Mood job (which includes specifying all of the required items).
