Hey I'm trying to learn how to use the job and job-* commands but I'm having difficulty. The reason I wanted to is because a dwarf is screaming about silk (fey mood) and I don't have any and neither do the elves at the depot. I'm trying to change the job to use any cloth... is this possible? Am I going about it wrong? job list displays this...

Code: [Select]

Job 20925: StrangeMoodWeaver (special)
  Input Item 1: cloth; quantity=20000; min_dimension=10000
    flags2: silk
  Input Item 2: bar
    material: rock
  Input Item 3: none
    flags2: bone body_part

[Quietust]

The job command cannot modify the flags for job items - what you want to do is use the changeitem command to change some plant cloth into silk.

[Captain Man]

I'm having a little trouble figuring the right syntax on this, I'm guessing I want to do m instead of s but... what is the raw for silk? I've never done anything with raws and it's somewhat daunting. The only thing I can find is the silk template from material_template_default. No matter what I try with

Code: [Select]

changeitem m "raws here" info I get no such material errors. I tried changing it to pig tail just to practice with

Code: [Select]

changeitem m PLANT:GRASS_TAIL_PIG:THREAD and it says that the subtypes don't match... I'm lost, help!

I just want to change something, anything, into a silk cloth so Urist McPicky will shut up.

EDIT: never mind, I think I got it. CREATURE:SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT:SILK force worked. now I'm changing that copper bar to silver... stupid dorf.

EDIT 2: *Mireddance* This is a giant cave spider silk short skirt.  All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is decorated with giant cave spider silk and wolverine bone and encircled with bands of silver. It is made from giant cave spider silk cloth. The object menaces with spikes of giant cave spider silk.

If you have time to consider feature requests, it would be nice to have some "change all" commands that generalize changelayer and changevein, e.g. to change all orthoclase to something easier on the eye, or all of some crummy ore to something useful.

And while we're on the topic...

1) Do you have an official mechanism for submitting suggestions / feature requests?

2) Is the feature suggested above something that an experienced programmer could do pretty easily by modifying your code for changelayer/changevein, or would it require a steep learning curve on DF internals?

Thanks.

Is there/will there be a plugin that allows change of tile flags (e.g. "occupied", "inside", "underground")?

tilestypes edit: tiletype can set and alter the types of tiles. just it's under the special brush settings.

here's the original jump command,

Code: [Select]

function tools.JUMP(unit)
--if unit==nil then
-- unit=getAdv()
--end
--if vic==nil then
--vic=getVecAtPos(x,y,z)
--end
--Cart=unit.riding_item_id

printall(df.global.world.vehicles.active)
--S=0+getline()
printall(df.global.world.vehicles.active[0])
--df.global.world.vehicles.active[0].speed_y=(-900000)
df.global.world.vehicles.active[0].offset_z=(100000)
--df.global.world.vehicles.active[0].speed_z=(-90000000)
end
tools.menu:add("FLIGHT",JUMP)and here's the new jump
note the new jump will lift all vehicles so it doesn't matter if you aren't in the right cart.

Code: [Select]

function tools.JUMPALL()
print("Jumped")
for k,v in pairs(df.global.world.vehicles.active) do

--printall(df.global.world.vehicles.active)
--S=0+getline()
--printall(df.global.world.vehicles.active[0])
--df.global.world.vehicles.active[0].speed_y=(-900000)
v.offset_z=(100000)
--df.global.world.vehicles.active[0].speed_z=(-90000000)
end
end
tools.menu:add("FLIGHT2",JUMPALL)
here the code for keybinding it

Code: [Select]

keybinding set Shift-J "dfuse tools.JUMPALL(unit)now you can make 1 z level ramps/walls eat your dust as you jump over them. great for parlor tricks and jumping huge gaps... not so great when there no sky tiles for you to jump up.

tilestypes edit: tiletype can set and alter the types of tiles. just it's under the special brush settings.

There's no option to change occupancy flag under special brush settings.

digtype: designates every tile of the same type of vein on the map for 'digging' (any dig designation).

jawfloor
this is going to save so much trouble- instead "dig that vein and that vein and that vein" we can just say "dig all gold and iron ores and coal"? too good to be true

[Crux]

The downside of digtype is that it also digs out stuff on z-levels where rooms have already been designated.
Did I overlook an option to make it dig only on the current z-level?
If not, it would be nice to have such an option or an option to designate all ore on the current z-level.

I was also going to say that there are some places you want to reserve for rooms. Might it be possible to designate a cube where any veins of a specific type would be dug out?

[Rose]

One option would be to only designate hidden tiles, not visible ones, that way it'll always skip existing rooms.

[Syreniac]

I'm trying to use digfort right now, and it's throwing out this error at me:

Code: [Select]

Invoking: digfort tower_stairs.csv
E: NoMethodError: undefined method `shape_basic' for nil:NilClass
 ./hack/scripts/digfort.rb:22
 ./hack/scripts/digfort.rb:20:in `each'
 ./hack/scripts/digfort.rb:20
 ./hack/scripts/digfort.rb:18:in `each'
 ./hack/scripts/digfort.rb:18
 (eval):23:in `load'
 (eval):23
How can I fix this?

Forgive me if this has been brought up before, but I don't know what to search for, and the thread is over 100 pages.

I tried embarking on a fort of my home civilization (Embark Anywhere utility), and found the guards there were initially hostile, so I used DFhack to convert them and the present Lady, who was listed as friendly I should note, with the "tweak makeown" command, and rather than being full members, were listed as "tame" despite being on the citizens page.

Is there any way to make them full members so I can have a decent military right off the bat?

EDIT: I think I figured out the problem: I'm using the Masterwork mod, and I think I embarked on a Chaos Dwarf fort.

EDIT par deux: I tried doing this in a new site making sure it was the same civ as the dwarves I was embarking with, and while they seem to be full citizens, but I can't put these new citizens into military squads, nor can I give them noble positions.

oh that's normal I guess you need to find the noble list and manually insert them

There any chance in hell this will run on OSX 10.5.8?
